T16 Chimera is the worst shit boss ever

Having been killed TEN FUCKING TIMES in two maps now I am super annoyed by this dumbshit cloud crap. Anytime the map has added dmg mods, boss dmg, vulnerability (which is basically always in T16s) this boss can twoshot through 6K life when being in the clouds.

I do know the boss can be done with other builds a lot more easily, but GGG do you really have to fuck over any evasion based build that has no superfast move skill with such a dumb crap? Sorry but whoever created this was a complete idiot, thats extremely unfun.

Super pissed at the moment by such shit game design.

Really? I can tank him so easily, especially the cloud. 9k life, good armor, some block, I don't even have to use enduring cry in 99% of the cases.

Are you popping a quicksilver and using a movement skill during that phase, to find him as quickly as possible?

But you read about that evasion thing right?

With that setup a 6-yo can tank it. Just hardly any players have that. Also it just shows how stupid this boss is when you play a char thats based on evasion, 6K life is already a lot then and you usually dont have any damage reduction vs that boss, maybe a Basalt flask but that doesnt help much.

I do, I have ~150% Move speed. Thats still too low to find him quickly, but as a bow char you still have no better chance because the only move skills (Blink Arrow) you have are super slow.

God forbid there is a boss Vaal Pact glass cannons cant leech through.

Don't roll shit mods on the map, maybe? I currently run those maps blue most of the time, because the fragment is worth more than the map on HSC. Besides that, I have done him deathless more than once on a 5.7k life elemental wander (evasion/dodge based), and not only in blue maps What really helps a lot is to pop a Vaal Grace during the cloud phase. Ideally you are also stun immune or resistant.

I find that boss to be a lot easier than the Phoenix boss.

Thanks for your super stupid statement. The 'glass cannon' has 6K life as stated, which is almost every node you can get on the right side of tree as bow ranger.... now go troll away.

Personally I find Phoenix easier, but thanks, the Vaal Grace thing might help, I will try that. I can run blues, but have a lot of problems with rare maps that I dont have with other guardians.


I still think the whole mechanic is very bad and totally unbalanced, which you can also see by that fact that the boss fragment costs more than the white map.

I think the mechanics is OK, even though I've died more than once to it.

'evasion' is not a build. it is an excuse. 6k life is more than enough. i can do modded chimera on 4.9k life with evasion character

BUT i have 5 (or 6 if i swap belts) endurance charges, proper pantheon, perfect form for free AA (lightning coil works just as good but i did not want to recolor my 6link one) and my phys mitigation makes me take like 1.1k hits from him in smoke phase WITHOUT flasks. if i pop flasks - then it is cut to like 500/hit

that said - 'when hit' with evasion build is so rare that this is the easiest guardian for me out of all 4

evasion works perfectly well but - just like with ES and AR - you cannot use ONLY evasion and pretend you did enough

but im sure your dps is pretty good

evasion works perfectly well but

He seems to have problem with the cloud phase though where hits can't be evaded.
