heroofexile's famous last words

"i go play a dune map boys brb ":P

to be honest the jumping was new yes he 1 shot few of my zombies big deal i spammed a decoytotem and watched my spectre killing him in no time

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

tell that to my palls here:



dominating blow is probably the only (besides sceptres) build that scales not with you but with monsters you fight. add Added Duration for whooping 50sec minions and +life to minions potion and they can solve any boss problem for you, cheaply

btw i HATE this new dune boss. he is much harder than bosses from lvl70 maps, just because he does what current melee cant do: dish shitton of damage AND tank it at the same time

So it seems that I am not the only one struggling with hillock.
I am not a kid crying about challenging stuff. I love path of exile cause it seems challenging in so many ways, dont get me wrong there.

I am melee and only face him while granite flask is up, so with 15k armor + I use enfeeble.
If he leaps on me once -> lose 80% hp
leaps on me twice in a row -> death


I can't really see the challenge there to be honest.
Its just losing motivation and xp.

Hmm I found a dune map the other day. I'm going to see how my lvl 56 pure Physical Melee Marauder will fair against him. I'm going to face tank him. Will post the video when I'm done.

1700 health, 370 ES, 309 DPS, and 16% physical resist vs two Blacksmiths

Dominating blows is really fun to play. I repected one of my dead HC marauder into dominating blow. I'm currently making a lot video on the build. With enough damage you can get a ton of minions in no time.

It's not offense that is needed against the Blacksmith it is defense. It doesn't matter what type of attack you have as long as you have enough defense to do the job. Any dominating blow build will be able to beat the Blacksmith as long as the character have enough defense.

That will be good to show damage balance in Onslaught.

All I heard was "My build blows, but please nerf him anyways."

You're just being ignorant and elitist with this comment. You aren't progressing the thread any further. If you think his build is the problem how about you propose alterations he can make to his build or just a flat out new build he can make. I guess that would be asking too much of you?

Alright, here you go.

I actually facetank two of the bosses in the Spider Forest map. This is in Onslaught League. Sorry for the chopiness at times. I don't think I've got my FRAPS set up right.
