Not impressed, because this fight involves a lot of moving around and dodging his skills etc. I dont like that. I like stat and gear check bosses where you just walk in front of him and start hitting him until he dies without any effort to move around.

Lolled, thanks for that.

Peace,

He sure beats Brutus. Setting the bar nicely.

When you see any of these bosses, you have to imagine them in a map.

Also this ^, the fight is okay, considering he is the first one you encounter in act4. I think he will be a warm-up and from the looks of it and depending on his hp pool, is a good candidate for player error.

but then imagine the fight in a high end rare map and go pee yourself a little. If that leap slam is as big of a hit as i imagine it to be, depending on the map level....its going to be like a mobile touché of god.

meat good! vegetables bad!

2) he should have more attacks, and generally move a bit faster to stress the player out, while at the same time not hitting quite as hard, because he's not "THE boss".

3) the arena looks tiny. it definitely should be bigger with all this stuff going on.
and what about visual indications to the player? which one of the volcanoes is active atm? where will fireballs fall? stuff you can hide behind...
Vaal has the Falling Rocks attack which is the only thing I dislike about his fight, but at least being near him at that point is a "safe spot". where are Kaom's "safe spots"?

2) It's Kaom. He's supposed to be slow but hard hitting. I think they got that part right at least.

3) The small arena is also good for this fight, in my opinion. Keeps you from running away too far and just kiting him, especially since he is so slow. It would favor ranged characters even more than it already does if the arena was any larger.

My only complaint on this fight so far is it seems like there's already far too many boss fights where high fire and physical damage mitigation will leave you almost immune to the damage while anyone else will have a much harder time. At least this one looks like the attacks are easily avoided so far, but would be nice to have more bosses that use other damage types.

Shot puncture at the beginning, and run around in circles until he dies. So mechanik, much hardcore.

You can take that easy way out with alot of the content in this game, and sadly be considered a top tier player. Where is the fun in that though?

Are you sincere or trolling?

I am serious. WHy would I troll ? I like simple things.

God have mercy of us...

Would like to add that for a Boss that uses a +1000 life armour chest (don't forget that Kaom was the first to get his armour, so Legacy yep) it looks like he doesn't have any more health than any other boss, which is quite sad.

Fire brutus ...

Well. What diffuculty was this done on? It will answer your question just right
