I tried the last lab for the very first time yesterday,
and since then i lose like 5-6 offers to try again...

Now i understand all the hate finally.
Its not even the traps, they are the easiest thing ever.

NOTHING in the whole game so far deals no single percent of damage on me..
I got tons of armor, over the cap resistances + chaos almost cap,
i got crit reductions, over the regular cap Block for phys and spells,
arctic armor, curses, and alot of other methods to reduce every kind of damage.
My life regenerates in a second (10% or more/sec)
All this made me think i really made a tanky character.
Even tho im trying to avoid every kind of attacks from Izaura,
then i just fuckin die to nothing (cant see any attack, he's just walkin after me)
"1 SHOT" which doesnt even happen. I just die without any reason. Over and over...

I like hard games and i always loved PoE,
but there's not even a slight border between "Hard" and "Impossible"..
To die like this is not even challenging, its just plain stupid.

What about diversity?
You can always tell me i do something wrong, but then tell me what should i do?!

What i did wrong:
Cap every kind of resistances, armor, block for phys&spells,
get every other reductions possible.. (cause this is how a tank built normally)

What i should have done(???):
Get over 10-20k Energy Shield, and get as much dps as i can.

Is that it? thats the diversity? am i really forced to take a certain path to avoid
stupid and unreasonable deaths?

If that's the case, as most of you say, this game really isnt for me.
But the reason is, i cant choose my own ways to play/progress,
cause most of the mechanics has nothin do with their names..
"Armor" "resistance" they have no actual use, i see..
"Life" really.. anywhere i look for poe, i always see ES characters, no wonder why now.

If the game is really about "full ES & DPS" ONLY,
or getting "1 shot" by not even being attacked,
then the game really isnt for me.

I started in 2013 and im keep coming back from time to time to just hop in and have fun,
but all these crappy useless-by player and 1 shot-by bosses/mobs mechanics,
and being forced to take a path which commonly called as "meta" as i see..
Its just a ..no thanks. I wanted to play my own way and have actual fun,sorry.




post your gear and tree information. if this what you say is true and izaro still 1shots you (as opposed to being killed by green balls barrage) then we have a bug here. izaro with essences and charges will kill pretty much anyone but with just one buff.. doubtfull
Hi again!
Thanks for the tips and replies so far,
maybe i really just took a bad day or something..
Did not try since then btw.

As i know my characters are open to check if you want to.
The problem is, my life barely ever moves by anything..
when Izaura 1 shots me, it doesnt move at all (not dps,just a single invisible hit)
it just goes to 0 instantly and i die.

I understand there must be hard content and hard hitting bosses,
but 1 hit that i cant even see (avoided everythin really, no balls, no attacks at all)
he was just walkin after me, with no other animation at all.

Not sure if i have that much lag to not see when i got the hit actually (if i did)
but if i have a lag like that, only in Lab!

Sorry for being noobish but things like this can be really bothering.

I will try again sometimes,but as you know, takes offerings :/

Most things have some kind of "tell" animation but it can be hard to notice if you dont know exactly what to look for. If there is no animation at all then it may be a bug or a connection/performance problem.

Have seen many complaints from people who say they usually dont lag except in some special places - lab being one of the more notorious places for that.

You could also "fool around" with Merciless Izaro - no Offering cost there. Uber Izaro isnt much different. Just more powerful, last room is different and green circle teleport in last room is much faster. If you can easily facetank Merciless then you should be able to handle Uber without bad mods. Note that even Merciless with bad mods is "OP" if you let him have them.
No wonder it's lost, it's in the middle of the jungle!
Today i finally got it!

Beaten the portals, got idols till the end tho..
What is more interesting this time and a joke,
he had 2 handed hammer with jumps and all,
was all very visible, yet i facetanked all his attacks with no real threat..

I tried to avoid those aoe elemental explosions from idols,
but as i saw in action, sometimes they caught me with no dmg(!?!?!?)

So once again - Facetank Izaro with no threat, even caught by element aoe.

I know, its ok if u call me a noob, but i still wonder what went wrong yesterday and before,
cause now it was easy as a "normal lab",which is a fkin huge difference!

Anyways i finally succeeded and got my last 2 asc points.
I just wanna mention now btw i have 3200 life and only 100 energy shield.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
so whatever was wrong before, the difference in difficulty is a joke,
or got some really weird bug with those invisible 1 shots.

If they are considerd "spell" then you can block them with spell block. But I dont know if they are "spell" or "secondary" (which cant be blocked). One single Idol explosion on its own is not very dangerous even if it hits though.

Today he has no buffs which give him elemental damage. Conduits/Essences are very dangerous for your type of build. Especially if combined with Charges.

He can oneshot you if he has elemental buffs on him.

The difficulty level of Izaro is extremely dependent on his mods. Many newer players run into this "randomly"-get-murdered-by-Izaro-and-no-idea-what-happened thing. Bug/lag is always a possiblity too.
No wonder it's lost, it's in the middle of the jungle!
I did the uber lab yesterday when it's the easiest. I don't even have armor or endurance charges on my 2 chars, just 4700 and 5200 life, enfeeble, and MoM with 1000 reserved mana. All you do is kite around in circles somewhat near him. Was kinda surprised it ended that easily. All you need is the means to recover your life back and some decent move speed. I got 2% leech/3.4% with a kill and no Vaal pact. And just 9.5% life regen only on my other. I think many people are dying because they don't move fast enough. I use devoto's devotion, used the 0 endurance charge shield combo for perma onslaught on my other char.

I could have done better to take out his idols, but both of my chars just destroy things in all directions so Izaro kept losing health.

3200 life?..

then it is a oneshot waiting to happen

the minimal 'reasonable' value is 4500hp

no matter the mitigation and defences - 3200 is just lower than most endgame 'surprise!' moments can take away

what went wrong yesterday is most probably you got hit with his 'auto-attack' for around 4k and died instantly
The point is many viable builds get shit fucked up by this terrible content.

No they don't.
SSF is not and will never be a standard for balance, it is not for people entitled to getting more without trading.

Again the devs have mentioned that it's an issue and already tried to fix it a little.
