Orchard boss

It is a part of the overall redisigning of bosses. Rest assured that all other 66 bosses will be buffed in future.

I would wish this for some. Grotto, Dried Lake or Crypt are incredible easy. The Orchard-Boss would be fine if he wasn't in a lvl66 Map.

You know I'll agree with that lol

Personally, I didn't find the boss too hard; it was more the "I just zoned in through the door and was literally surrounded by ~30 champion mobs who hit me before I was able to do anything" that made the map at all challenging.

Just did my first Orchard yesterday and had that happen. Worst thing was that there was a rogue exile mixed in with them. He had high life regen and because the map had enfeeble on me I couldn't kill him at all.

Me and my friend went to Orchard (we were both lvl 76) everything in the map was pretty easy tbh, until we met THE BOSS. He was fuckin insane, 70% hp went down just from one hit and we were both doing tanky builds, with at least 10k armor and 4-5k HP with capped resists.

After that we decided it's just not worth it to do them maps as we can die too easily there.

What you do is, face tank him xD and dont run away, or else he will submerge and remerge and drop ur health even more :/.. I have max resist 4.5k hp, 14k armor and he can still drop me below 70%, but after popping flasks etc you shouild be fine, i always run, granite and evasion(sub for granite im IR) My health potion gives me armor as well. Just dont let him keep remerging from the ground, he will start doing insane dmg...

the real problem is the auto-hit that the unborrowing devourers do... just unfair. a pack of blue devourers is op as hell!

I complately agree with you ! I was about 75 lvl doing 66 thicket map. map has just chilled ground and inhabited by animals mod. i 2 shot with face tanking all rare, blue, whatever on the screen. Then one that blue devour pack popped and i lost half of my hp instantly which is like 2.4k. Then they all hit me instantly again with their melee attack. Luckily i react fast with using all armor flask so barely escaped with about %20 hp. Thats ridiculus. Like this not eneough, they dont quit chasing.

Its just easy to avoid their slow moving range attack you can kite so easily i can say. But popping dmg so stupid imo.

If you are melee you need high armor and Enfeeble, that should do the trick. I solo Orchards and always kill the worm with my HS/Cyclone Mara.

I have both melee and range skills dual strike/spec throw. but that worm throws projectile which is unavoidable. Even if you "kite" with moving around and see that projectile miss you, you still take damage. and it hits hard.

known strategy: clear the map, go into the boss court, circle until tunneltrap turnes up then leave the court. monsters will not follow but tunneltrap will. you can then deal with him undisturbed with plenty of space to hide.

one question for the damage he does: is tunneltrap too strong or other bosses too weak? i died twice to him because i was not careful, was angry about myself but eventually i liked it as a challenge.

why must the game enforce all bosses of the same level having the same difficulty? for consistency? my opinion is: having surprises is always exciting. a totally balanced game is boring grinding, not more.
