using cyclone vs hammerstorm?
|
i just got instagibbed in cruel with 2600 health, granite flask up, unyielding, juggernaut, max resists, all armor gear and shield..
im pretty sure using the skill "cyclone" against hammerstorm lets his hammers bug out and hit you like 9 times in one second. Last edited by Firedrop#4906 on Dec 15, 2015, 2:06:18 AM Last bumped on Jun 14, 2016, 8:23:41 AM

"Seems like fun... How does that even happend I usually do not read popular posts again after i made a comment on it, unless it's one of my own. I wish to have a Black robed Grim Reaper micro set in game one day, grant my wish, GGG

Yeah he's one of the mobs I avoid if I care about dying at all. I play standard and even still I only fight him about 50% of the time down there. Usually just run in, save the spirit and peace out.
He's always done pretty silly damage under weird circumstances. It's strange to me because sometimes it will feel like he doesn't hurt at all, and others he hits like a truck. I know he switches between spectral throw and the Vaal version so maybe it's just his vaal version hitting super hard is all...

seems they buffed the hammerstorm to put down the golden burning ground where the hammers pass, so probably getting hit by the hammers a lot due to being next to him + standing in degen?

It's actually stupid how strong he is.. He hits harder than act bosses

I think the OP might be on to something - all of the Vaal ST projectiles originate from the centre and spiral outwards. So if you are standing at the centre when the skill is used, it's possible that they will all hit you at once.
Face it, all of your suggestions are worse than this idea:

I never found him as bad as The burning man... the trick against hammerstorm is to wait until he used vaal spectral throw and THEN kick his behind.
The burning man caught me off-guard though, I don't wanna know how many new players die to that guy every league... I make dumb builds, therefore I am.

" Depends. If most players have maxed Resistances, probably only a few. :P I personally found it pretty obvious, too. " Being Spectral Throw, VST should still have an internal cooldown per volley. Hammerstorm just has obscene damage potential. Last edited by Vipermagi#0984 on Jun 14, 2016, 5:43:27 AM

" I've been using VST a lot, the thing is certainly strong with GMP and slow proj but it doesn't seem to have any hidden mechanics like '0,3s cooldown per projectile' instead of per use. Maybe hammerstorm has point blank? Wish the armchair developers would go back to developing armchairs.
