T9 Map - Museum - He of many pieces - F**ktarded Damage

So, Maligaro has this thing, which I assume is a "Vaal Fire Trap", that deals what? 2k -3k CHAOS dmg? and he throws them everywhere? It`s impossible not to step on them since he also casts desecrate and throws EK. And even if you don`t move he throws them right under you.

This is by far the most unreasonable boss I encountered so far. And I did guardians and uber atziri. Or are we expected to have maxed out chaos res now as well?

I would pay to see anybody who made the game actually do that boss. Especially as melee. I`m super curious what the dmg actually is and yes, i have no chaos res (yet can still handle chayula breaches just fine), but getting unavoidable 1shots with 4k life I mean ..

So don`t get me wrong, i`m ok with 1shots, that u see coming, like Voll`s shield charge, Malachai Slam, but this was just ...

So yeah, if anybody NON CI didn`t have problems with him, please post a comment, and tell me how it went. I can just imagine how fun it must be to play HC and get 2 days wasted because a boss was buffed beyond reason.

I am a Cyclone Juggernaut with RT. I will do him after work and invite u. Did him yesterday and had no problems.

He was like every enemy for me. Facetank.

I have over 7k life, got around 7% life leech and around 600 life regen. Only running devoto helmet, which give me 20% chaos resistence or so. 80k dps without flasks.

I dont know what most bosses do, cause i have so many mtx, cant even see myself xD

I mean 4000 life in a T9 map is just too low. Get a higher Lifepool and you wont have Problems.

I don't think it is reasonable to complain about one shots if you have 4k life as a melee character in yellow maps.

It is quite common and typical to have to swap out gear and flasks between running the map and taking on the end map boss. Most common swap out is concentrated effect for area of effect since you are dealing with a single boss and not a mob pack. So for museum boss bring along amethyst flasks and chaos resist rings/amulet and any gear that has chaos resist. That should help a lot.

It's easy to forget that the gear needed to efficiently/easily run the map isn't necessarily the same gear needed to kill the map boss. Took me awhile to learn this and remember to bring other gear for the boss battle.

But yes it's an annoyance to have to swap out major gear to get a specific high resist (such as cold res for Merveil battle) and have to swap gems around but that's what you may have to do or just skip that boss after killing once to check it off in the Atlas. It also took me awhile to be ok with skipping a boss as I like to kill everything (full clear runs as much as possible) but at high levels losing 10% of XP is a a major pain too so the thought of dying reinforces the need to swap in proper boss gear or just say "screw this boss, it ain't worth the risk" and skip.

really??

you should try some firedamage boos with -60% fireres and then tell how hard that hits xD

Thanks for the useful replies.

First of all, fire res isn`t chaos res. Chaos res isn`t exactly a common thing. Unless u`re using Chayula Amulet

Also, swaping gear for each boss in each map is something that nobody does. it`s one thing to get chaos gear for a chayula run, but o gear up for each map boss is just ... lame.

I`ll admit it`s really frustrating with all the new changes, since i`m used to a certain type of gameplay. Before this update I never had any chaos res and had no problems. Sure, it was dodgy, but not 1hots. Even in random chayula breaches i had no problems with -60% chaos res. Also i had atziri`s promise active during Maligaro.

What i don`t get, is how come Doedre a T4 map boss, does such insane amount of damage apart from having the huge Hp (also one shots), and meanwhile i was doing Armory, with twinned bosses , and was just fighting while they were both casting firestorm on me and barely did any dmg.

Before the update, i thought it was really stupid that it took 3 seconds to kill T15 bosses, and T16`s has 50x the Hp. And i understand that the point in the update was to get all tiers more close to each other so that there isn`t such a big difference between 14 and 15 , 15 and 16. But now they are way to random. Not really in terms of HP which in everybody`s opinion it should be lower. But in terms of damage.

My point is, it`s very confusing for bosses of the same map tier to have such extreme differences in terms of difficulties. And even more confusing when a T4 boss causes more problems than a T9 boss.

As for the 4k HP, i used the exact same build last league for Phoenix runs and i had no problems. Hence, when i made this build i did uber izaro at lvl 68 and then jumped str8 to red maps.


p.s. Juggernaut guy, that`s kinda what Jugs do. They tank. Hence the name. Most life builds don`t have 7k hp and almost 10% life regen. Not to mention the armor. That`s like comparing an Occultist ES with a Hybrid ES.

If you know you are not geared for that boss fight you have 2 options:

1) Skip that boss
2) Change your gear

Both are perfectly valid solutions. Expecting the devs to change the mechanics of that fight is not a valid solution.

"Chaos damage is one of the five damage types. It is the rarest damage type and the hardest to get resistance against."

This is what Chaos was all about. It used to be different. With the rarity, and the can`t be reflected and the CI. This is so not the case anymore. It`s becoming more and more common both to monsters and not to mention there are so many chaos dmg skills. I mean look at the uniques from this league. Most of them are chaos and poison oriented.

Saying no one does this just proves the ignorance that you hold towards a lot of the builds on this forum. I've seen streamers swap out gems, rings, ammys, and even body armor before a fight. Don't make a statement like that just because something does not fight your ideal image.
