EDIT: I'm also trying to find this zerker you're talking about, and all I see is a dead one at 99, seems like acro didn't work so well for him. Regardless I'm only concerned with objective testing, not this "look at this one guy" anecdotal stuff

You do realize I got 100 with exactly the same build in SSF HC Deleve just with ground slam instead of Smite and the reason for that is: In Delve wasnt the fucking blood architect bug crashing the game.

Mitigation is expensive, RNG defenses are cheap as fuck as long as player does not get oneshot or twoshot and he wont be threeshot anyway with gud RNG defenses.

Now with the new syndicate mobs taking phys damage mitigation might be a thing but a player can just get L-coil, taste of hate or just dont do the syndicate anymore after tier 9 maps or whatever.

Before Tora etc, phys damage was nothing to care about once a player has 8k hp and Ahn's Helmet and has good RNG defenses in every day map clearing.

Elemental damage is the stuff that wrecks players in casual map clearing cause it has much higher numbers and there is no immortal call for it. Armour does absolutely nothing here but evasion and dodge are doing a lot against that because getting only hit by 1/4 or 1/5 of the shit instead of everything means 5x the survivability in that "not oneshot" setting and if you also have 25% instant heal with Warbringer and leech cap every second then nothing will ever kill ya except if its a oneshot or a game crash and as I said before there is no phys oneshot at maps without stupid mobs and without Tora when you have 8500ehp and anticrit ahn helmet, even with 10% increased damage taken.

Totally agreeing with OP those nodes should be redesigned and buffed so someone actually skills them for once.

not at all.

you said your build (heralds, iirc) COULDN'T do the lab. you argued this for 2-4 pages, if not more.

and it's quite relevant to this - you clearly don't have much game knowledge in terms of mechanics. and it shows. the hardcore level 90 lie, the can't run the lab (and now another lie about it) lie, and the criticizing someone for RIPing at level 99 while you waste ascendancies all paint a rather obvious and consistent picture.

*sigh*

i'm suggesting you actually read up on the mechanics that you're complaining about, because you've been clearly doing so in ignorance. and it's been lulzworthy.

hence, the above posts.

you can't expect to be in a discussion of mechanics when you don't even know what the mechanics are/do.
