Vaal Oversoul is the best designed fight in the game

Its a fight that takes into account skill as well as gear

You can't facetank him like a moron unless you love getting smashed into pulp

Gear helps, but even a level 1 can kill normal vaal with careful planning

10/10
We need more fights like it

+1

? You can face tank him his smash is so obvious it gives you a grace peroid granted he has a desync gem from time to time.

And with good enough gear, you can very well facetank the slam as well. But I agree, him and Dominus are examples of how fights should look like. It's REALLY hard to out-gear them both.

Vaal is actually one of my easier fights most times,so long as I don't Desy....nevermind. =P

I fight him,But just for try,for see and for know

Desync makes him a friggin terrible boss.

I laughed so hard I almost fell off my chair. I still chuckle a bit.

Yeah, Vaal is pretty good. Rocks fall - please please please please no crit. Other attacks are easily avoidable. I actually like Merveil too, constantly freezes if your cold res is not high and hits like a train in melee.

What telling you he has a fucking 6L CoH ( Cast on hit UNRELEASED GEM! ) Desync gem 20% and like 4 of those slots are all Desync

I fully agree.
He can surprise any leveling char.

Last time I was forced to TP by laser 2-shot (I think, only laser could hit that hard) with only hundreds of HP. One rock meanwhile (and they started to drop) and I'll be on Standard.

While it's a good fight, the game needs to be balanced so that beating them in HC doesn't make the rest of the game boring. That's the problem I'm facing with Dom... you end up so powerful to take him on that the whole next act is pointless. Similar problem with the Oversoul... you don't find the first areas of Act 3 challenging.

The difficulty curve needs smoothing out.
