CI and Labyrinth traps
|
I don't know if any of you have tried to run the Labyrinth with purely ES but its borderline impossible. If you fuck up as life based and accidentally hit a trap or two, you have panic flasks there to at least save you from death. I've done it as life based a few times and had really close calls with traps that I wouldn't have survived without flasks but I think this difficulty should stay; traps shouldn't be trivial.
But doing these traps as CI seems.... broken. You've got almost no defense against them, even with high regen and Zealot's Oath. The damage dealt and the speed is insane, its so easy to die to traps without really much to do about it other than the obvious "don't get hit". I know CI has its positives and negatives in terms of incoming damage but there's nothing else in the game that does %based damage to ES and it feels pretty horrid. I'd like the Labyrinth to stay hard and be deadly and non-trivial but having it borderline non-runnable if you pick CI is sort of.... shit.

This really is my only complaint regarding the labyrinth. I just don't know how you'd fix it without making it ridiculously easy for anything but CI.
A comprehensive, easy on the eyes loot filter:

One moderately expensive way to do it is to jsut take the point out of ci and put it back when you get to the boss. Having a low life pool will only make brute forcing the traps with potions easier.
Edit: Just tested and the damage done to you is based off your ES. so you have to clear mobs and take your gear off too. Good thing there isn't any good loot in there taking up inventory space Last edited by yungwhiz#5588 on Mar 8, 2016, 6:27:56 PM

" While this is a good suggestion, if you're a dev is this really the sort of designing you want to have for your new content and its interaction with real players? Considering all the haphazard "balancing" that goes on, this is a pretty big piece of flawed design here. CI isn't exactly a niche build. I don't want to BabyRage but its really glaringly bad.

" IMO the whole thing is a big waste of time. I dont care about it all. I literally only do it for the ascendancy points and I will never go back to it again. So yes I agree with everything negative anyone has to say about it. |

" Have you done a Labyrinth run and not got hit by a single trap? Those floor spikes do like 80% of your EHP. Get hit once and you're pretty much fucked. IGN- Lachleo

" I quit one char because it's ES and don't care enough to get through the lab with her. Another build is a RF life build that I simply turn off RF and run through traps completely ignoring they exist with my eyes closed.... Completely unbalanced either way you go. Not sure what they were thinking at all with the lab in many regards. |

I've run through a few times with my CI Witch...actually I found her survivability to be greater than my life based characters. However, she had over 2000 ES regen with ZO so all I had to do was wait a bit to heal her up. But yeah, lack of potions is tough.
Did you try using Vaal Discipline? Life saver for me. I brought two during my last visit. |

" It's damage % per second and of course I've done it I've done it about 70 times today trying to get my enchant =/ It IS shitty but there's no other way around it lol Dys an sohm Rohs an kyn Sahl djahs afah Mah morn narr Last edited by Coconutdoggy#1805 on Mar 8, 2016, 6:49:34 PM
