Malformation Piety Boss. Are you kidding me?

for your build these mods arent even slightly hard. in fact only the +24dmg affix could be considered "hard" and then again it's the only damage modifying mod which makes the map easy. the no-regen mod just requires you to use your flasks. if you consider this hard, well ... i don't.

you are a ranged poison arrow char. just stay away and cover the whole room in poison.
if you put your golem away you can very well position the balls in some corner and you should not be hit by the beam anyway. same thing with your cycloner (lol) and incinerater.
the adds should also die VERY quick with your build (+6L).

i don't know why people come in here when they have a build (and gear) that can faceroll everything and then try to call out others being bad at the game who chose another build and/or trying this boss with realy hard mods (not just one). just try to think outside of your box.

don't get me wrong here (as many already have).
i like difficult bosses. that's why i play softcore (temp leagues) and why i play un'ID maps. to have a challenge to push me to make my char better.
this boss (or better say the room) needs tuning so it is possible for more builds to acutally avoid her dmg. i can only imagine how summoners have to feel about this boss.

I agree with you that for PA Ranger, these mods are not that hard ( well very few mods are :P) but for many builds they are. I posted the image to show that this boss can be done and many builds have done it with tougher mods. TBH, i expected my PA Ranger to die once or twice considering the fact that I may fail avoiding the beams on time or lag. I actually made mistakes 1 time and got hit by the beam, thanks to MoM, I survived easily. :)

I stated in my post that this boss is not that tough if you can manage to maneuver its mechanics to avoid damage but a hellhole for many who r not prepared. These types of Bosses act as check-mark to builds like Normal Atziri map.

Some bosses will always be dangerous and will be doable by only a handful of builds. For example - Village Ruin Bosses, both my Melee and Caster had difficulties against them. I found them to be tougher than lvl81 bosses to be honest and the funny thing is they don't even have timed mechanics like Malformation Piety's Beam. Compare, Village Ruin Bosses vs other lvl 79 map bosses to Malformation Boss vs other Lvl 76 map Bosses. In fact It seems all Map tiers have a tough odd boss. Is this intentional or not idk, but i would prefer doing minor adjustments (like increasing Room size, Reducing Lag during effects)to these Bosses rather than nerfing them to the ground.

BTW, I totally support the criticism for the Boss Room size, which should be made larger than it currently is. toying with Multiple Projectile mod in that tiny room is really painful.

Cheers.

Just tried my level 40 Cast on Crit Ranger against Belly of the beast Piety on normal difficulty. I don't have great protective gear, but I die 3 seconds into the fight when she does any of her attacks (doesn't matter which one) and her laser moves so quickly it is impossible to dodge now. This boss is completely broken (I've beaten her in other difficulties with other characters, but this is the first time she's been unbeatable)

Try this boss with a summoner or totem build... it is literally impossible, even on a white map.

I can do it very easy with whispering ice. i just close my eyes and spam icestorm. That's how i do it. xD

Can't kill her? Get better build instead of crying. Hard content is good. Malformation boss is good. GGG need to add more hard bosses not nerf hard ones.

Yes, everyone should be playing some cheesy build that can kill every boss and run every mod imaginable! Because that's what this game is about, everyone running one of the very few allrounder builds!


Tried malfo piety on my totemer. That was fun, never again :).

GGG, FIX this VERY BAD MAP!!!!!!!!

The boss fight is stupid and unplayable for many builds, map is also laggy, more than any other one.

Fix this map, or delete it! Recognize your mistakes, GGG.

i havent met a single person in warbands or in flashback that is able to do malfo piety, and i party a lot
boss is utter shit, another showndown of gggs miserable balancing skills.
don't expect any kind of thoughtful balance from them, creating new mtxs and nerfing builds to shit are higher on their priority list

I can do her, double with a wide range of mods.
The key is to use the fire resistance flask. I can lift the resistance to 97% and the health bar drops never more than 20%.

I'm currently playing a PA and I vaaled a duel boss malformation with 80 something % extra lightning damage and extra boss damage + AoE and multiple projectiles. Now I knew this was going to be hard but since I leveled to 87 in that map I was like oh well might as well give it a go. However I got INSTA killed whenever I entered. So how do you do this? Even with flasks up I still got 1 shot with 5.4k hp. I say this combo of map modifiers with this boss is impossible for pretty much every build with gg gear.

This has to be the most poorly thought out and implemented map boss I have ever encountered. The area is too small, if she gets multiple projectiles she becomes the most difficult encounter in the game. The fact that her beam used to shoot out and kill you just for having the audacity of being near her boss room says how well they balanced her and tested it out. They just thought hey, you know what's fun? Let's make a really stupidly annoying and rippy boss, that's fun.

If this was like uber or something, it would make sense, but as it is it's just a way to wreck map pools for people who get a tier 9 map drop and then go oh crap, it's that map.
