Phantasmagoria Map boss

did this map for the first time, today.
faced the boss.
beat the boss, without dying.
will never try it again.

this encounter is just over the top.
please tone it down.

there's challenging, and there's "never-try-this-again-because-complete-insanity" BMBI.

Phantasmagoria boss is of the second kind. just try the fight if you don't believe me. unless you have insane DPS to just take the thing down in seconds like Boxsalesman did, you're in for a trip to hell.
especially if you are dumb enough to try this with a Caster, like I did.

Is it that bad? I mean, it seems like it is right now it's just merely punishing.

Easy map imo. I heard all these horror stories about it. Seriously? Museum bosses are far worse.

Museum are bad too.
worse? I don't think so. this thing chases you down, while constantly summoning whole packs of things, blowing up their corpses (at least I think it was their corpses) for massive damage, and constantly hitting you with that lightning stream that was the reason Revenants got nerfed in the first place.
but he didn't...

it's like someone took a Beyond Boss and put it into a map.
a map with really, REALLY tiny room to maneuver.

I'm not saying it should be butcher-nerfed into something like the Ledge skeleton - but throwing so much at you and dealing so much damage with everything... that's not good either.
if I wanted this kind of near-heart-attack, I'd summon Abaxoth for fuck's sake.

@BMBI, I'm all for difficult bosses. good ones.
what's a good difficult boss? well Torture Chamber for example. I've grown to like this encounter, even if I'll never have the balls to try it in HC.
what's a terrible and punishing boss? Jungle Valley. Pit. Museum. this guy....

Trio.
Tornado guy is Academy, and he's mostly anti-melee.
Trio is anti-everything, and the sad part is not because of interesting mechanics. one-shot damage and nothing else.

Trio stinks. You roll a bad map with those guys and they are wicked. Personally, I hate the torture chamber boss too. Rima on steroids w/lightning. The paper cutter is pretty bad but not the end of the world unless you are a caster that get silenced. He is a hexfont.

Museum bosses are for sure worse. The most difficult thing with the Phantasmagoria boss, in my experience, is her projectile damage. That you get surrounded by her summons doesn't help either. In any case, it's fun and should stay as it is just for the challenge if you are looking for it.
