Xandro Blooddrinker is too strong

This guy right here
Xandro
I am currently playing as a ranger. It's very easy to get hit by him if you don't see him coming and you are always a 1-2 shot for him unless you got 4k+ life on level 70.
You can also survive with having armour instead of evasion, obviously.
Please remove the multistrike and give him something like lifeleech. I mean he is called blooddrinker anyway, so that ought to make sense, right?

Life leech ? hell no! he already has crazy life regen.
Yes, he can be a pain to deal with when you're under geared. Pop a warding granite flask (and a flask of warding if you have one, to clear vulnerability) and just get away from him.

I have a granite flask on my Witch because the ~30% physical damage reduction is pretty nice but it makes no sense to use a granite flask on an evasion character. You only have 5 slots to go along with - not using my dispelling quicksilver flasks ruins my efficiency. You don't encounter him very often and I have no other problems with physical damage so far.
It's a risk I gladly take, but that doesn't make him less of pain in the bass even for advanced players.

And if you have problems dealing damage to him, maybe YOU should use a diamond flask then, huh? Kappa

If you have less than 4k life at level 70, without any other mechanics to rely on for survival.

Then you are just doing it wrong, sorry. But that's the truth.

His hit cannot be evaded, this is why evasion builds are weak against him...
He uses Resolute Tecnique apparently.

Literally the first complaint about Xandro.

Not exactly true, there where many complaints about him and then they nerfed his life regen.

Most exiles are push-overs nowadays.

Can't even say that i fear magnus or igna anymore, which is a bit sad in my opinion.

Peace,

-Boem-

Yeah, Igna is kind of meh. I was like "he must be strong", but then he isn't.

Xandro is pretty strong. I run a ToH, that helps. Also evasion based, ranged, 4.7k life. I am not really scared of him in maps up to T11 or so.

Speaking of unevadable Ground Slam stuff, that Living Blood monster is retardedly strong, much stronger than Xandro. Also has more life. Was much harder than the Waterways boss (which, admittedly, isn't that bad). If I see one, I run.

Do you have any other characters besides your Marauder or are you just trying to spit some bs?
Obviously it's possible to skill over to the great scion life nodes like apparently 50% of the POE community does but the Ranger doesn't have big life nodes in close range like other characters.
I for myself enjoy playing a glass cannon. Dieing is mostly avoidable (you usually only die because of boredom) and the extremly high damage output justifies the means.

And you have even spent money on a game so shitty designed that FORCES the player to do ONE single action (=life stacking) to survive, posing a giant middle finger to variety. Think about WHO is doing something wrong....
