Feedback and Suggestions (Path of Exile 1) - I'm sorry, but WTF is with Fragment of Winter boss in Waterways?! - Forum

Dear god, it goes invulnerable every 5 seconds or so and starts healing. It is OBNOXIOUS AS SHIT! Am I missing something? Is there anyway to kill this thing that doesn't requires 5-10 minutes of burn through the heals? Last bumped on Sep 29, 2017, 8:36:09 PM This thread has been automatically archived.

I'll kind of +1 this - I run an SRS build, so I just stood behind a pillar and held down my summon button. It took about 5 minutes to wear the bugger down, occassionally having to move a couple of inches to avoid a kamikaze add. I would shudder to think what doing this boss on melee would be like. My honest feedback is that with this particular mechanic, the fight is not challenging for a lot of builds, but instead extremely boring. Sorry guys, but I don't think I would run this one again. == Officially Retired 27/02/2019 == Massive thanks to GGG for producing such a fun and engaging game, it has taken up faaaaaaar too much of my life over the last 5 years.

Off hand, I'd try stun locking it.	Posted by Shagsbeard#3964 on Jul 26, 2015, 9:22:45 AM Quote this Post
I'm not sure it would help shags, I have a sneaking suspicion it would probably drop into its invulnerability phase regardless. I wasn't watching that closely though, I kind of just sat my laptop on my mouse key and wandered off to get a beer. == Officially Retired 27/02/2019 == Massive thanks to GGG for producing such a fun and engaging game, it has taken up faaaaaaar too much of my life over the last 5 years.

Outa these maps, but anyone else discovered anything in particular about this PITA boss?	Posted by Waves_blade#0878 on Jul 27, 2015, 4:40:55 PM Quote this Post

Fuck sakes man, I don't know how many times I got stuck on some of the harder bosses in the Megaman X series, and back when I was a mini gamer, even the original NES series was challenging as fuck. Oh, how times have changed. Fragment of Winter is NOT challenging. It's tedious as shit and boring. At no point was I ever in any danger of dying. Endless adds = infinite flask charges.

You mean the Mavericks that have specific weaknesses? where a weapon/skill of a a specific maverick can stun/kill another specific maverick within seconds? or when popole are doing speed runs with just the x buster alone?

Can someone from GGG post a comment on this? This stupid boss does not even just get immune every few seconds and heals, no it also REFLECTS every damage without the proper indicator (the rainbow one like other reflect mobs have). There is just a tiny frost-like aura around it and it stops moving - something which is easily overlooked in the heat of battle with all the spawned minions. To my knowledge this is the only boss that actually does reflect. This too makes it hard to prepare since people are not used to reflect on bosses. Not even shaper does reflect damage. This boss is not even high-tier, it is just T13. I died to reflect against this fucker twice yesterday and I had to actually look it up on the wiki to find out this bastard does reflect. This is bad game design, sorry. The game should be self-explanatory without the need for external sources. For other reflect mobs the reflect aura is totally obvious and everybody has learned about it. So please, GGG, at least change the aura of this boss so that it is clearly visible as reflect.

Crusher of Gladiators also does reflect (Racecourse map).
