Don't nerf Syndicate encounters

this is amazing.

the encounters were fine BEFORE the nerf.

now they're just silly. fortification is SERIOUSLY the easiest one. you have infinite time and the syndicate more/less stays there.

this thread proves precisely why ggg shouldn't have nerfed the syndicate. the casuals were/are going to complain, regardless.

You mentioned a budget build prior that you were able to clear high-level Syndicate encounters with. I'm thinking of making a new character as the Elemental Hit toon I was working on doesn't feel as fun as I had thought. What was it? Your profile is set to private so I can't see it.

he probably somethingsomething arc or somethingsomething totems/brands.
1) play easy AFK mode builds and then trash talk
2) stand on the high ground
3) ???
try to play selfcast then talk.

ffs

this shit again?

i played a 1h mace using gladiator in delve. HURR DURR, ez mode blahblah.

that same build would have been even better in betrayal.

also, no one has any clue what my build is.
also, i'd be surprised if there was another player using it in the whole league.

meta isn't always best. and it's usually not.

You seem to say the same over and over while denying the obvious truth.

You can say ffs this again all you want, doesn't change the fact that this content is nowhere near tuned and sending out full instant deaths left and right even against quite tanky builds where you can't even react to anything. Doesn't change the fact if you compare to the balance of the game this content is totally off. Doesn't change the fact that for a huge portion of builds, if you want to do the encounters full without them escaping, you are just fighting and crossing fingers for sheer luck that one of the instant deaths won't happen out of nowhere. Doesn't change the fact that this content completely destroys many builds that are subpar but people play because they like the feel/idea of it.

There has never been a point talking to a wall. I only posted this for others to stop wasting time trying that, i already know there is no point. Thanks for bumps though.

hyperbole and lies. hysteria.

if what you said is true, the league wouldn't be full of chars in the 90s/100 - same with every other league.

if what you said was true, i'd be dying left and right.

if what you said was true, i would have gotten rekt in that t15 before the nerf (ie: page 31).

see: invasion, anarchy, beyond leagues.

This will put an end to your trolling once and for all when you see it can't be mitigated easily.

lolz

when even one's bad math and made up numbers STILL disprove one's own point.

crabs = 30% flat phys
basalt = 15% flat phys

45% without even taking armor (fuckton) into account.

res of 77-79. BEFORE a purity. since this was just 1 ele, i would have ran purity of lightning. which brings it from 78 to 82. this also excludes a topaz.

MATHS.

given your wonky damage numbers, 1800 lt dmg.
given your wonky damage numbers, 5500 phys.

all my armor needed to mitigate is a mere 900 dmg - less than 10% of the hit.

only ~10k armor is needed to survive.

ez. even without using a topaz/granite.

like i said, my build needed successive (big) hits to die.

additionally, i used a corrupted implicit reducing extra crit damage taken by 50%. if the hit was a crit, that is.

which was it? did you drop out or have you been using?

Next time quote my whole post and you might not reply with trash. The answers you need are right there.

you quoted a post from a week ago that BTFO your claim? and with nothing to add?

Are you deliberately trying to shoot yourself in the foot? Against my good intuition i go to page 31 to see and first i see by you is you talking about how rogue exiles are giving you harder challenges.

Rofl rofl, stopped reading, as i said, waste of time arguing with wall in denial reaching for far fetched arguments trying to support something nonsensical.

yeah, that's not what i said.

i said the rogue exile was harder than the syndicate mob.

burnnnnnnnnnnn


and yet, i somehow managed to (apparently unpossible feat!) not die and kill them. CRAZY, RIGHT?

it's as if people were just exaggerating and etc.

You're right that I don't know what your build is; your profile is set to private and you neglected to specify what it is.

So you're breezing through Syndicate with 1h mace gladiator? Or are you saying you wished you had started with one this league? Otherwise, why would you bring that up?

Non-meta isn't a problem; I have more than enough to be able to find the required equipment.
