Changed my mind again, INSANE chaos damage hurts Incursion experience a lot.

Here's how you die.

The spawning place was right in middle of that platform = NOWHERE TO GO TO. Soon as I tried to move, BAM, a dozen proj in my face.

That's really unfair, not having anywhere to go to and your reaction time limited to ~zero.



P.S. Inserting the image doesn't work? It shows it broken.



Glad somebody finally posted a clip/screenshot of the problem, people need to stop getting a stick up their butt about chaos damage and building against it and realise this is a design fail/oversight. It causes problems beyond chaos damage you just can't have cannot be evaded mobs in giant clumps that all fire at the same time.



Exactly. Almost all of my friends have died to this exact enemy / problem, streamers have been 1-shot as well with 6k+ life and positive chaos res and we still have White Knights all over the place trying to defend the indefensible.

This is not about character defenses, this is about a way OVERTUNED ENEMY + SOMETIMES UNFAIR SPAWNING SPOTS.

P.S. This is not the 1st time this particular enemy has caused 1-shots in PoE; it's just that this time you keep coming across them @ incursions and weird spots, thus giving you extremely short reaction times or being hit OFFSCREEN !!

P.S. 2 BTW. how many Vaal Constructs can you guys count? Around 20 ??!





oh I'm not arguing that sometimes you spawn in completely BS spots and that should be changed

but that has nothing to do with chaos resists
AAAAND step to the side. And step. And step. And step.

So are we just going to ignore that he's running a map with 161% extra damage and chaining with 3700 life? Of course he got fucked up.
Is there anything you softcore babies don't cry about? Here's a list of all the things you can bring to Incursions to deal with the projectile robots. I'm sure you can find a room for one of those items on your amazing 3000 HP Bisco's builds:

1) Amethyst flask;
2) Quartz flask;
3) Ming's Heart;
4) Chaos Resist gear;
5) Basalt Flask;
6) Rallying Cry / any way to generate endurance charges;
7) Phase Acrobatics;
8) Upgraded Lunaris Pantheon.

If you absolutely can't make room for these things, then consider not running every Incursion you find. Spawned in the middle surrounded by ranged robots? Portal out and find a new Incursion; you're not obligated to upgrade every room and have perfect temples every time. Believe it or not, difficulty in an ARPG doesn't "ruin the experience". I like that Incursions are risky and require some thought and itemization. Too much of this game panders to softcore kids offscreening useless mobs that don't do any damage. More ranged robots I say, not less.

I like you :)

Most people wouldn't even consider running around with just 74% of an elemental resist, but are totally fine with -60% chaos resist. META CHANGE BITCHES!!! Adapt or die again!

Spoiler
Nice one Mr Logout script at the slightest danger - refill flasks 2-3x at every boss fight just in case - overlevel by at least 5 levels - gear up for 10 levels higher just in case - reroll 10x map mods coz they're too dangerous - AND STILL DIE at the silliest little thing :P

HC in a nutshell :P

Riped at 88 to multi proj. Constructs in incursion. Cant read the monster mod with that time limit. Skipping those incursions now. Btw im fine with dangerous mobs in this league.

How about this - lower your ridiculous power creep DPS and get some chaos res. 0% is all you need but around 50% is god mode to chaos. It's not that hard to get 0% anyway. Just two pieces with chaos or one mings/broken crown

You have the 30 seconds or so of invulnerability when you enter an incursion, why not use it to read the mods and to look at what's around you, before you make first move? The incursion timer only starts after you do.

As a bonus, if you have any minions, they will draw the initial flowerpot volleys even during your invulnerability time, so by the time you move, their shots are more scattered.
The more you depend on forces outside yourself, the more you are dominated by them.
