And to clear up the story for you: Brutus had himself changed by shamans to cheat mortality. Piety is mainly recreating what didn't seem to work so well in the past(Brutus/Merveil/The Undying). Oh well, we all need hobbies.

Just to clarify* they were definitely necromancers, shamans in the usualy since don't mess people up like that :P.

I really don't like this idea because his current position is very nice for farming. Teleport in via waypoint, look for him and kill him, reset, repeat.

Please don't change this.

The bottom level has plenty enough mobs to churn through, I would absolutely hate to have to go through all those to farm a boss.

Isn't Solari way better for that? There's the 3 spool bosses on the last level with the WP.

Dont think there are any oranges in Sol temple, all yellows, and its a lower level area so worse drops.

Oh, I think you meant the three curtain bosses? I cant remember getting many drops from those though.

Right, but I'll have to wait till I'm there again on cruel now to try farming it.

Kole farming is fun.

Also I find it funny that he always spawns with 4 Mortality Experimenters, it reminds of a bunch of graduate students and their pet robot.

Yea Kole is my favorite boss to farm. I love running the risk of getting my face smashed in, though that risk is now gone at level 47 until I get around to finished Cruel diff.

What's the matter? Is he too hard for you and all that happens is you get squished? I load up 50% increased quantity and 150% increased rarity, stroll through normal Lunaris Temple level 2, 1 swing kill everything with cleave, and then kill Kole in a few seconds for a rain of yellow items to sell to the NPCs. Though I've now moved onto farming merciless Hillock for gear, I've found that for simply farming orbs and vendor trash loot, kole drops a lot more items even on normal and he often spawns right next to the waypoint. Even if he doesn't finding and killing him takes just 2-3 minutes.

Or, there was always my answer. Which, to be reworded is: that is not the point of this topic so don't derail thank you. People can farm whatever they wish.

Farming? I've died alot at this Boss and usualy my Marauder does not die that easily, not even at Act Bosses. But I've died in every difficulty at Kole and it really hurts in Merciless, I've lost nearly an entire, hard worked level on him because I just died and died... (yes, I had to kill him, it was personal then -_- )
A little bit out of place his dmg, should be "fixed" imho. Ive tried insane high armour (4K flask) -no effect. I have 80 overall resist -doesn't had impressed him. Even tried more Chaos resists, no effect. 7 Endurance Charges - still nearly instant killed. W....T....F...!?!?! O.o"
What exactly are his skills and why does he such huge damage? I'm Melee so I HAVE to kill him in close combat but I can't stand his smash for long. Takes ages and alot of deaths to kill him, even with 3,2K Heavy Strike. Not very elegant and absoluteley not my style of play.
At least for a melee, it feels a little bit unbalanced. Now I have to farm an entire day to get my level up again, at least I have the last Waypoint now.
