A4 Piety, overtuned? + the burning man
|
I just ripped my lv 40 duelist in tempest on Piety in Act 4, the abomination one who does that giant beam and spawns 10 portals in the room (making you need to run from Piety and then get raped by beam).
The beam is just ridiculous and there is no cover to hide from Piety. I saw recently a video that you can evade this damage by leap slam I didn't even know that but holy shit this is discouraging. I had 1.4k hp and the beam would hit me for 800-900 or so along with the corrupted blood stacks. I don't mind that the game is hard at the moment I had great fun with boss fights like Kaom and Daresso in normal. But this feels just overtuned and rather broken for normal. There also isn't a resist you can get against this, I don't see this getting better at higher difficulties either (maybe even 1 shot on merciless?). There are level 90+ character struggling in standard with 20 ex + worth of gear on those bosses. The content is just vastly overtuned especially on normal towards the end of Act 4. It feels like I'm running act 3 on merciless before but it's actually the new act 4.... on normal difficulty. A temporary fix I would suggest is to just have a portal spawn upon attaining a certain level to cruel since cruel act 1 is waaaaaaaaay easier than Act 4 normal. I think this beam of Piety isn't the way to go without cover and I dislike these kind of mechanics (almost 1 shotting even tankier builds). I can't see newer players making it through this kind of content without dying over and over unless that was the intention and players will get absolutely stuck on encounters like Piety A4.

" I could just evade the damage by running through the beam... |

I have to say the area is too small and there is no place to evade or hide from the beam.
The beam moves way too fast as well. Plus when we get resurrected back in the area, there is no time/place to put auras back on. To Die Is Not An Option, To Fight Until DIESync Is The Only Answer. ☺☻☺
Happy Hunting Exiles. |

Piety is a bit nuts. I actually was ok with Malachai, he's a little overtuned, but not too awful. Piety killed me a bunch of times with 1700 life, fortify, max resists, armor, and a chaos golem out (this is on normal, of course).
The problem is as melee, if she starts casting her OP death laser when you're in melee range, you're probably going to get hit, especially if you don't have movement speed (I only had 10%). The beam does way too much damage. Burst me down pretty much instantly, or brought me down to 10% or so, plus all the bleed stacks. Being as relatively tanky as my character was, I should not have been getting killed that fast. |

my problem with piety-abomination boss is not about her laser but the overall situation:
the room is small (i noticed they are making bosses room smaller and smaller with every patch), i could evade the laser but i could not kill mobs that spawn in the same time, like it isn't already hard they put even those big orbs floating. the respawn thing it's annoying too (with all the act 4 bosses). |

well I tend too agree. Just ripped lvl 59 shawod cruel a4 piety. I use whirling blades to evade stuff so i normally dont have probs with bosses, but the space there is quiet small... I got hit once by the beam -> one shot 2,5k life, max res. Well time to reroll :(
EDIT: just retried in standard. The beam normally does around 2k, so i probably got crit? It's a tough fight for sure. The amount of ads is quiet high, too. Last edited by MagicEngelspinner#0090 on Jul 13, 2015, 6:04:33 AM

Piety is a bit over tuned, and Malachai is way overtuned. They definitely need to adjust it a bit.
But after about the 30th death on Piety I found that is that you have about a 5 second window to do any channeling, casting, attacking, and then when she begins to shoot her beam you need to get real close to her and run in circles around her. You'll out run that beam without a problem. I think if they removed the blood tadpole guys, the fight would be a lot better. For malachai...I dont know where to start. That fight is just a mess. Its horrible. I love difficult fights, which is why I think for Piety just make a tweak and we'll figure it out. Malachai...theres just too much happening to have a coherent thought about how to adjust it. |
