Master of Blade is more like Master of Failure
![]() Gorge boss is just epic disaster. - deal 0 damage - run from player - just use auto attack " But gorge boss is just " "Is there such a thing as an absolute, timeless enemy? There is no such thing, and never has been. And the reason is that our enemies are human beings like us. They can only be our enemies in relative terms." Last bumped on Jul 13, 2016, 11:58:12 PM

The balance in this game is extremely bad.
Chris talks about not wanting noobs to go into maps and die, but yet the dungeon boss is so over tuned.

Bosses are either dummies or overtuned oneshot machines, there's just a couple of nicely balanced ones.

The gorge boss uses flicker strike, not just default attack.
Also he does about 1k damage if you have no armour. So it's technically not zero. But in general, I agree with you. Kraityn and gorge boss both need some new attacks. Face it, all of your suggestions are worse than this idea:

I don't think you can really be considered a master of failure unless you fail so often and profoundly you fail at becoming a master of failure.

" Because the meta now is instant kill or out leech/LGoH. It's kinda brainless, the only interesting bosses are those like shock and horror .... but this one can be killed very quickly too I guess. Kratilyn could use a rework ( or something that makes him scary after he flickers for example, like phase run -> flicker => chills + attack speed buff the the next 4 seconds ). Just like Alira. SSF is not and will never be a standard for balance, it is not for people entitled to getting more without trading. Last edited by Fruz#6137 on Jul 13, 2016, 2:32:03 AM

so yes ... then again.
do this boss with an evasion based character that doesn't oneshot him. depending on map mods this guy hits me for up to 3.5+k dmg with his flicker strike. note: i usually don't die to this boss and i agree that his "chicken strategy" is as annoying as the warbands one. but what you guys need to understand is that just because YOUR build can facetank something it doesn't mean it's the same for all other builds too. |

" Yes, power creep is the worst offender here. Many boss fights that had to be taken tactically in the past, are now done with just rushing bruteforce. Atziri, Shock&Horror, Megaera, Temple Piety... they all just die in a few seconds and you dont have to take special precautions or avoid their attacks anymore :/ Gorge boss is on average a weakling and a boring fight, but will easily take out evasion based chars on a map with damage mods (vuln., extra ele, etc..). Too much blue Gorge rotas can skew perception :P When night falls She cloaks the world In impenetrable darkness Last edited by morbo#1824 on Jul 13, 2016, 2:40:36 AM

" My abyssus FB Hybrid whitch does not always like him also, to support that, with the wrong mods he can a bit hit hard, and I don't have the dps to end it very quickly on this char. If he could almost one shot good builds, since getting away from him is not always that easy, it could become too much.

I like having some "safe" bosses, since i play hc and i am chicken. I am never doing extra proj residence dominus again. YOU HEAR ME GGG? NEVAH!
Spoiler
:D
Plz add 50% boss hp and buff boss map drop rates by 50% (20%chance -> 30%). Seems fair. They already do enough dmg. I'm a forum warrior, i was born to post, raised to defend my league. Now my post has been removed, chained and exiled by mods who Ban. Ban is my brother; i do not fear it. I see it in the eyes of men and beasts that i troll. It will take me to play the actual game when i am ready and i am not ready. Last edited by Pyrokar#6587 on Jul 13, 2016, 4:25:06 AM
