Is jungle valley boss supposed to be...

To all of you who seem confused:



1) Vaal is not a joke - I'M MELEE. yes, I am Hardcore. yes, i do need to enter vaals room to kill him. Being melee and all.



2) I'm not complaining about difficulty, I'm complaining about RELATIVE difficulty, as in, how hard it is compared to other similar encounters (71 maps, 72, 73, 74, etc.)

I understand how that might have went over a few of your heads, being butt hurt soft core players and all.



anyways, the point of the thread was to ask if it was intentionally made more difficult than everything else around its level, or that was unintentional.


"now that he acutally did one its too hard"


lol, I've solod every single map, as melee, with acrobatics and life, on hardcore, including jungle valley, Including harder maps like maze vaal (yes, it is much harder when you DO have to enter his room, being melee and all -again) and I've completed every single map that I've done, with the exception of 1 being a jungle valley map, due to being in an encloesd room with an infinite amount of spawning spiders, 50+ flicker spiders and 2.5k+ ethereal knives - it just seemed a bit out of proportion for what I was experiencing from the map system.

I think crema boss is more difficult atm

This, quit with the ad hominems and focus on the actual context. Jungle valley boss is harder than almost every map and its only 72... does that sound logical?

Ran this the other day. My build is an EA marauder, with 4.1k life, capped allres (77/77/77/75), and running 7 endurance charges and Immortal Call. I was doing fine until they spawned the rare spider with ele reflect, at which point I got instagibbed due to the absolutely insane mob density (7 charges per cry = wtf). With no monsters left in the map outside of that room to build charges, and instant death awaiting me on the other side of the door, I opted not to go for a second try. This boss fight is beyond insane. There is nothing even remotely comparable in any map I've done so far, save for that time I tried to fight double Temple piety. It'd be hard if the room didn't have like 50 mobs at any given time; as is, it's... Ugh, I don't see how this is doable. I feel like my build is about as good as it gets for this fight. Which builds can even beat it?

Fast forward @ 2min 30sec

Killed it solo - Rare Map mods - Mobs attack 25% faster + Uniq boss attack faster

It's hard solo :D

it was really fun to fight the new boss :D
i hope ggg makes other bosses stronger too, for example the apes from Dry Woods

max block, 7 charges and armor shouldn't have issues vs this ... Max block is very very veryyyyy important.

It all comes down to the rares that spawn with auras. Reflect? Increased Crit? Regen? Say buh buy.

harder than pretty much any map boss level 70-74?


yes, I'd rather kill maze vaal over and over than have to fight that ridiculous remake of a fight.


Is that intentional?


(note im hardcore so I can't just die to success)

No, Weaver is not supposed to be harder than every other 70-74 map boss, but not because weaver is too strong - because the other map bosses (minus vaal) are too weak.

It should be interesting to see how things evolve as more and more map bosses get buffs.


edit: It would be nice if the rares couldn't spawn with reflect. If you couple any bad map affixes with the mob density in that room and the potential for reflect mobs falling from the sky, you are left with little recourse but to log off with many builds if you get unlucky.
