Please nerf this fucking hillock boss in maps

wait till you have to face carnage :).

compared to him hillock is nothing.

and yes i think this comparison is valid as you are going to face him sooner or later. while hillock is a roadblock, carnage is straight up impossible with pure melee unless you are so insanely tanky that he doesnt oneshot you.

Seriously,
hillock is way to op in phase 2 with that leapslam shit. Every map with him is at least a 100% death making last 40 minute of grinding worthless.

if you wanna be taken seriously, dont just come here and whine... which is exactly what you are doing here

if you gave some info, maybe asked for help with your build, people could help instead of just trolling an obvious whine thread

we dont know what gear you have or what build you are running, if you are running a dominating blow, acrobatics, CI build or something equally stupid with crap gear, you deserve to die or you might have legitimate concerns here, point is we cant know, we just see the whine

Problem with Hillock is that he is good against both ranged and melee. Carnage is easy for ranged.

didnt played for a while, isnt hillock the bollock noob boss from 66 dunes?

Yes...but he was slightly upgraded. When you damage him to 50% you make him mad. You don't want to make him mad.

Yeah, Dunes (66) and Spider Forest (69), he got buffed and now uses Leap Slam + occasionally Heavy Strike in melee range.
I didn't die against him, however I am using Iron Reflexes + Grace + Determination (imho the only way to get to acceptable armour values) and that guy has a good punch. Imho he is overtuned, but apparently not everybody thinks this way.

With Enduring Cry and Granites you can tank him, but I hate both options wholeheartedly. They add more mitigation than you can get by stacking armour from gear and of course, EC is annoying to use. Unfortunately the game seems to be balanced around these two, so I took the lesser evil (Granite).

Oh, and I recently played a bit with an evasion based archer --> no armour --> nearly oneshot me (3.5k hp) despite Enfeeble on him (and Blind, but that doesn't change damage if he hits) --> went to run around in circles and lured him through poison clouds --> meh... -.-

Hm, now im curious, will try him today :-)

Does he use 5 Leap Slams a second like oak? or do you have a fair chance to avoid his hits by manual dodging?

It's really hard to kill him as melee, seeing as he CONSTANTLY uses heavy strike to knock you back when you swing at him.

I am done doing these maps because i can handle even incinerator easier with his heavy hits due to the fact he isn't on steroids like this one.
Time to wait for better gear it seems, even tho my hp is 2.6k and es is 1.4k

6k ES but only 18% mitigation w/o grantite. can i take 2 hits?
