Why in the HELL is the Siphon Mana ring on monsters in this game?!

+1 its a no-fun movementspeed/burst check

I completely agree with these posts. I am a sorcerer and with the essentially zero mobility POE2 offers to avoid adds this mana siphon affix is near impossible to defeat. I am in act 3 and have killed a few of these but they nearly always kill you as a caster. This is not fun at all, frankly the kind of thing that drives players away. I am fine with a challenging game but this is retarded.

No fun rare activated! Entire game built around this theory. Yawn

It should not be allowed to pair Hasted with these kinds of idiotic AoE circle Rares. Not only does this dumb Rare siphon the mana away from me so that I can't defend myself, it's hasted, it has a ridiculous weird bugged circle where it's not even centered inside it so I can't even fight it up close and avoid the siphoning. AND it deals damage to me at the same time without even touching me. Who thought this is fine? This enemy type is already really quick and it had a group of ridiculously fast minions I couldn't even fight off because my mana got siphoned due to the stupid circle bug.

Truly this is The Vision in action.

Sadly I don't think they will ever delete any modifiers since they forced this whole system of Archnemesis mods into PoE 1 when nobody wanted it and all the players hate it.

I have the same problem with this annyoing s***, i died today again in breach because of it, with High End Build!. That mob with mana siphoning circle spawned next to me when i opened the breach, "Melting Maelstrom" unique flask also cant counter it and im completely defenseless. This fucking shit is the main reason why i can die often on maps and lose 10% of experience. Who the hell made this stupid decision adding something like that you cant protect yourself from it. This is especially frustrating and dangerous when you play on juicy maps, and run fucked up because of this.

PoM moment right there

Yeah, this mod just made me uninstall.

How is this supposed to be fun for a sorc? Hasted mana syphon = game over.

Mana siphon + haste = bullshit
respawning minions = bullshit
Regen Hit points + Extra Mana Shield bullshit
Physical Damage Aura + Extra Mana Shield = bullshit
...

no shortage of AN Bull shit.
I question if they are imploding on purpose..
When you get bought out there is a contract to continue working for X number of years after...

how many years has it been ?

Let me guess, most of you are spell chuckers. I welcome this as a melee class because you spell chucker zoom around getting too much share of currency with your aoe bullshit.

You need a nemesis, now you got one.

Reap it.
