Water Hag is ANTI-FUN in hardcore. My only gameplay complaint after 500+ hours of PoE 2

Dont Cherry pick
That attack started as a palm attack back that sucker up to me attacking with no ball... the point of commitment .. show that shot ... then ... realize .. you are half way through the guaranteed death .. im committed already and already dead .... you are doing an autopsy on a corpse there not an analysis of death .

You blinked into it.


You could have dodge rolled out of it as well

No i attacked into it.

Freeze the frame ... im still max distance away ... the ball is materializing at my destination.. not my origin .. im already dead, the mob read my attack before it rendered, cast the spell when i would be in a tenth of a second ... I curse the mob as i hit it , the purple flash .. and im backing up as soon as recover from the attack ..dead

Yea like your skill behaves like a blink, you ran into it.


Whats worse and, it sucks that I am right about this assumption.


Is this is what people think people are doing, when they complain about the drowning orbs.

Running in, not thinking, and expecting to be safe.

This death was 100% your fault, you ran STRAIGHT into the orb. And then your next step during the 3 second timer, was to just hold attack.

Try again next time. And be more careful
Mash the clean
Unfortunately that happened with my softcore 2 days ago. Simply insta death. Sad for my 10% XP, but cant compare with "hardcore char´s" death suffering.

GGG has to do some stuff with this enemies.

You are diging yourself in a hole here man .

You can watch all you want, it just gets worse , it starts to look like an input read death... My hand will turn purple as my cursor is over the mob. That is hand off chalupa being cast, I am committed to the attack, at that exact moment the death ball is cast where i will be , it is cast on a mob , not me , it is cast at the destination of my attack , where i will be ... I didn't walk into anything ...

I mean you are just proving, with game footage now, how you play. Running in, not really caring whats infront of you. And then having no reaction to anything.

But from all of that you take

"the mechanic is bad"

"its not 3 seconds check again"
-did and it is by the way

So I mean you can keep going but its 3 seconds, you play recklessly, and its up to you to try to improve or ask the game devs to change the game for you.

Youve been disproven on having no ability to do anything on your part, you had plenty you could have done. This is just something you need to learn to approach in POE, much less POE2.

yeah man its rough some scenarios are totally un avoidable.

It casts it at my destination
I didnt even notice the first time ..
It's totally cheap and doesnt belong on a softcore setting
hardcore id be in a rage if it started casting at my blink destinations before the animation of my departure, this was attack , when my hand glows that even slightly after I have attacked. Im screwed

even if u can do something it's an "anti-fun" situation, this thread isn't about it being possible to do something, its about the mechanic being bad and anti-fun and possible scenarios DO INDEED come up where you can't do something. No point in analyzing just one scenario stop talking to the guy, I stopped already he's obv trolling, we explained it thoroughly and he's attacking random points and not the KEY points

yup its not a good feeling to die to this, none the less, I'm not enraged, I just want to provide feedback for the games future as I wish to continue playing hardcore, and this is my one single complaint. And every HARDCORE players I talked to so far, has agreed. I only seen disagreement from people playing other game modes that dont understand the problem here lolol T_T
