General Discussion - Post your reaction the first time you played the "Desert" Map... - Forum

Most of the time i ignore the boss, but this time, i was like "oh, i might be able to kill him with my firestorm chaos character, should be fun" i regret trying, he mirror shotted a shitload of copies on me, and it lagged my PC (its a good pc) and i died, and i was like "yep... 2.0" Slayer, Leader of Domination Twitch: twitch.tv/slayertip Helping people with their builds, its somewhat a hobby, and a passion of mine, so don't be shy! https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1715639 <--- Build help forums thread thingy.

Honestly i've been astonished i didn't expected one day GGG would include content where you need to think a bit more before going at this map level. Now that is done i would like all bosses from this map level to higher level maps in the same way but more rewarding maybe :) Hf :)	Posted by Heli0nix on Aug 24, 2015, 6:34:06 AM Quote this Post
First time it was Zana daily, 4 man party. Before we realized, what is going on I was the last man standing. It is not hard per se, just incredibly annoying (RF build of course - only like 5% damage uptime and 95% frustrating search)	Posted by aldorus on Aug 24, 2015, 6:40:47 AM Quote this Post
There are lots of maps nowadays and we need variation. There have to be easy and hard bosses, depends on build/gear of course, and I don't mind if there's also a very annoying boss. If someone can kill him fast enough, he might get free maps to farm him ;) (I didn't fight him yet, so feel free to ignore my scrub-casual-posting) Dynamit, Architekturkritik, die man tatsächlich sieht!

"WHY WON'T YOU DIE!?!?!?" Seriously, did the boss only have to pop one health flask, but it took a long time, even though I was on 12k dps.	Posted by Caridor on Aug 24, 2015, 7:25:38 AM Quote this Post

Was able to pick him out of the crowd pretty quickly. The problem for melee (and particularly Cyclone since there's no namelocking) is that you'll only get a second or two of damage before he blinks again. Then it's back to scanning the hundreds of clones for the real one, finding it, closing the distance, and by that time he's about ready to blink again. Yeah he's not all that dangerous if you keep moving, but damn he's annoying as shit and totally not worth running, especially as a 68 map. I got a 75 zana Desert earlier today. He hits harder but still easy as pie. Just takes forever and I was not really enjoying myself. This. It's simply not a fun fight. Just annoying.

Ball lightning, spell echo, lmp, nuke clones too. My ice crash and cyclone toons? Not worth the time. Oh wait, it's a 68 map, already not worth it.

I believe Vaal Cyclone is one of the way to go. I've also run this map once or twice with my CI/Crit Arc and didn't have any problem. Last edited by FNX_Heroes on Aug 24, 2015, 9:56:50 AM	Posted by FNX_Heroes on Aug 24, 2015, 9:41:47 AM Quote this Post
