orra does use vaal roa. roots you in place for like 3 seconds (however, you can still move around with light warp so it aint that bad). and did any1 run into st scion? lol, my incinerate witch had some trouble with ther since incinerate needs to stay close to your opponent in order to damage and i could barely get to her because of a damn knockback from projectile weakness she puts on you. and not only that but, as regular st does, projectiles damage while coming towards you and then going back so its double hit and she hits rather hard i gota say. so be rather careful, she may be a danger to melee and ranged if you have low armor/hp combo

Fought the st scion with my Ondar's melee character. She was relatively easy for me, since I evade projectiles 90% of the time. I just stayed away from her the moment she cast projectile weakness.

Encountered two other rogue exiles in a map:
Ion Darkshroud (whirling blades/viper strike shadow) - No noticable buff/skill revamp, easy as always (for me).

Minara (summoner witch) - As melee, she wasn't the easiest feat. Now she is plain impossible to kill for me. She is often guarded by like 30 minions when she casts vaal summon skeletons and the worst of all - minion instability, so I can't even reach her with 1 viper strike charge without risking my character's life.

The new Orra Geengate caught me off guard. Normally finish her easy but she has some kind of chaos cloud now with the arrows and with the rapid fire roa the cloud is everywhere. Had to keep back peddling with ST, leap slam in for short bursts and jump out.

Fought jona and thena and didnt notice any differences.

Allegedly, the Vaal spamming is being investigated, per Chris:

As for the people who go right to the stop QQing, go try Antalie Napora in a level 70+ map and come back after taking a few Vaal BA volleys back to back.

Being that Vaal BA cannot be evaded, yet another reason to never go full Evasion. Because Evasion was already so OP...
Armor or IR or GTFO.

That GGG would nerf Invasion bosses and buff the crap out of some exiles IN THE SAME PATCH doesn't make a lick of sense, unless it's an epic troll.

Probably that, or...that there balance department is sleeping, IF they have people testing this shit with multiple character types/and such not just some dude with best gear lvl 99 spawn, if not LOL have fun every balance patch.

Which ever one casts the Firestorm one shots my guy with maxed fire resist and a lv19 arctic armor. Shouldn't even be possible.

That isn't possible.. I've fought Igna phoenix with an arctic armor character, beat her many times without even using rubies.

Perhaps you're fighting her in a minus max map? It still wouldn't be a oneshot but a very dangerous fight.

That magnus or whatever guy (flameblast) is insane. Hurt my very well equipped cycloner in a 70 map. Hurt him ALOT.

Was insane to watch.

i find this guy to be doable in 74+ maps no problem AS LONG as its an open map

if you try to kill him on a narrow tunnel type map, you're just 100% fucked unless you can facetank those flameblasts

@82 fire resist they still hurt like hell. with a ruby they are tolerable, but he SPAMS the flameblast.

I really think that if they are to have Vaal skills they should have the max amount of souls for that gem, and not be able to refill them.(and the damage needs to be toned down) I fought the Vaal Burning Arrow one in the Catacombs corrupted area(Cruel) with 75 fire resist and 2900 or so life.(I was like 9 levels about the area) and it was scary. I lost massive chunks of life at a time. I have never seen Vaal Summon Skeletons, but I'm sure my computer will freeze up for a couple seconds at least since it pauses briefly the first time any summon is done in a play session, and I really don't want to die because of that. I honestly wouldn't mind if the exiles just turned back into satisfying loot pinatas, because Invasion deserves it when we don't have lockboxes and do have invaders. :)

Exiles using Vaal skills= no problem.
Exiles spamming them non stop, no charging up, no cool down, no nothing= problem.
