Don't worry, I'm sure someone with a dozen supporter tags will come in and explain at length how this is totally a fair mechanic and it's your fault for not knowing about hidden oneshots that are unlike anything that has ever existed in the game. It's totally not just the product of an out-of-control egomaniac using broken boss design to feed his superiority complex.

Technically, it was a two shot at 4-something k each. It was avoidable too but he ran straight into two of them in a row.

But yeah, 4k damage projectile spam in a nova is bullshit, no idea how melee is supposed to live through that, well, maybe a 6k life VP zerker, he would be able to fully replenish between hits. And those projectiles aren't exactly popping out, you know, about as much as a doctor at a KKK party, you can spot him but you kinda have to look hard.

So you have 2 curses on blasphemy and you're melee, you run in and auto die? Seems fun and balanced... Looking forward to killing myself repeatedly.

If you happen to curse him he eats up the curse and converts it into elemental nova which deals 8k+ elemental damage on the low end up to around 12k. This might've been the cause of your rip.

I was using enfeeble...but if it does 12k dmg how am i suppose to kill him in melee...? and if i knew i cant cast curses on him i would never cast them :/

this is why melee sucks balls, even the devs dont care how bad melee is right now, they buffed a lot of bosses as well and now ranged is only viable....

seriously 8.5k hp one shot is BS dont care what anyone says , unless ofc its some mechanic you can look out for and avoid ie malachai teleport slam

Oh, wow. So if i have a curse on hit setup i'm totally doomed?

Sounds fun.

I don't know why some of these people who pine for true melee characters don't go in and stunlock the shit out of some of these bosses. It's a T9 boss for Pete's sake. Get in there and manmode stun it (or do it from far away with ground slam).

*edit* who cares

supporter system is amazing they will defend anything

just ripped instantly to this boss, similar bullshit problem to the racecourse boss's reflect.

one line of text missing from the "Pagan Bishop of Agony" boss "casts elemental nova when cursed" would have made it make sense but instead any curse build or curse on hit build is gonan get fucked because the game doesn't tell you anything has changed. Similar to the racecourse boss if it said "Activates powerful reflect" it would make sense to look for and wait for the reflect to pass but when there is no text indication how would anyone know to look for it?

The game trained us to read the monster text with magic monsters like volatiles, corrupting blood, casts detonate dead, but then there are inconsistencies like completely unexplained mechanics. As far back as act 1's introduction in beta monsters with notable skills have had text like the goat men casting molten shell or snakes in act 2 dealing chaos damage or the mages in act 3 activating lightning thorns.

i love poe but why in the world would you give a boss like the rhoa boss text that says "drops more and better items when enraged" but not give geofri or the charging bull text that explains their potential one shot mechanics?
