Uber Atziri as a Melee

A video of killing uber atziri with melee skill does not say much,somebody has to clear the whole aluring abyss with a melee skill.Even mob packs are extremelyy dangerous tere for melee.Reave can work there cause it is semi ranged,but melee....

Spectral throw is a melee skill.



Anywayz, all movement skill based fights in this game are prone to RIP-fest's.

And most of those fights have 0 skill mechanics leading into over-gearing and ultimately
face-tanking.

I already made like 4 threads about atziri and the lack of skill design and every-time people come in and suggest the fight is fine. Which leads me to believe, people don't actually wanna be challenged. They want to out-gear and then rofl-stomp the "hardest challenges" in this game.

can Atziri/Uber-Atziri be beaten with a melee character, equipped with gear obtainable by mere mortals, or even - god forbid - self found?
and with a character built to be melee, instead of an existing char molded into one, by buying a fuckton of Regret Orbs.
and no damn cheating (snapshots, map hacks etc')!

It's just the way the fight is made - any fight that involves a DPS/survivability check that high will just require you to shit exalts.

Atziri can easily be beaten by a self-found melee. Uber, not unless you "self-find" CoE, Shavs, top-end jewellery, crit dagger etc...

Remember - this game is not balanced around self-found. Uber was designed as such to challenge players. Trading system exists - has to be balanced round that. Snapshotting exists - has to be balanced round that. OP builds exist - has to be balanced round that. Fuck every other build.

Jake - would be great to see video of full run of Uber Atziri as melee. I know you play low life spectral throw for Uber Atziri, but melee is day and night compared to spectral throw. Would be great to see video if you manage to tank her as melee, but I think your main problem will be the regular mobs and clearing the healing mobs.

Ventorr farms uber atziri with reave.

Guy I know did cleared the entire instance with CI Reave build with Bino's, no Acuities. Not impossible I guess but I think we were waiting about an hour for him in town to even reach Atziri. So fucking slow :P

So how long did the whole thing take to reach Atziri and then finish her? 1 hour 30minutes?

He didn't finish the instance, we provide a service that allows people who want to try Uber Atziri but don't want to risk losing their set - we rescue the instance if it fails.

Sadly, it was one of those situations. As a melee build, he couldn't out-range the spear thrower and become immune to her damage by standing opposite her. He had no Acuities or instant-leech and his capped 20% leech was nowhere near good enough to survive the constant 5K hits spam.

It may have worked if he was specced Ondar's and Grace but the shitty thing about CI is you get like 2-3 auras max. He was also Unwavering Stance which means armour and evasion = effectively zero. Kind of a build issue I guess, maybe more a gear issue as well - Acuities might have won the day for him.

We never got to see him do another attempt, he respecced into low-life spectral. #conformbitch

I got my secret weapon ready: corrupted magnate belt with implicit AOE (gives my cyclone 5% more AOE and let's me keep permanent atziri flask charges in the minion phase)

Let's face it though no melee can face tank the tri-mini bosses without a buddy casting four perma-curses and leaving
