Do you guys any advice on Uber Elder? I failed 3 times today. Every time, I start very smooth pass the phases between elder and shaper. At the middle of the fight I start struggle and couldn't see the end. I was near to kill him everytime(last phases) There is so many damage going on in the fight I can't track of it. I don't have enough fire and light resist without my boots.
I have several exalts sitting in my bank any advice on what should improve in gears and jewels? How can I practice and be better at the fight( I think my damage and life/mana is good positioning and gameplay knowledge is the problem). I never killed uber elder before.
Jobless_betrayal is the character
your gear is fine, you can try to get more mana (1900 is not really enough to sustain 5600 HP)
Kill those giant squids that drop degen ground ASAP, it makes you life so much easier. Don't tunnel vision your character, try to look what's goin around the whole battlefild. Listen the sounds, most attacks of shaper and elder have its special sound. And most of their attacks can be just sidesteped easily (even with kaom's roots)
And remember, you don't have to do damage all the time. As long as you kill giant squids and don't pop vortex balls around the whole arena - you have a lot of time for movement and dodging.
p.s. Read the description for Enki's uber elder video, it has some tips too. And there is a great guide from Engeneering Eternity about uber elder fight.
And don't stop trying. This whole fight and all elder/shaper attacks are telegraphed, you just need some practice.
I killed it!!! I switched to kaom's roots changed my gear a little bit and watched the engineering eternity guide, The fight was so smooth after I changed my gear(kaom's root is a big plus). Thank you!!
This is spurred on by a recent comment on here. How exactly should my pob configuration be set up to see my shaper dps? I saw we shouldnt have enemy is shocked clicked so i was just wondering?
"have you shocked an enemy recently" - if you have inpulsa's
enemy is chilled - to enable hypothermia
enemy is "shaper/guardian" - to see your dps vs tough targets, which matters the most
And if you don't have 150% shock effectiveness (or at least close to it) - use the formula from "ascendancy" section of the guide to calculate your DPS ("enemy is shocked" enables full 50% shock damage bonus, which is not correct)
It’s minor, but if you have Celestial Punishment notable passive and cannot select “enemy is shocked,” I recommend adding “enemy is frozen” for dps purposes only. The passive is granting 25% increased damage due to us shocking, so that will trick PoB into adding the increased damage.
