Drox fight is fucking [Removed by Support] "quite not very good"
|
This fight is painly stupid...
I have 3.6k life and 2k ES and get one shoted cause evasion sucks... He spawn banners like a mad man, those take forever to kill with a Bane build + ED... Had one case of him having no life and he did not die for a full 3 minutes cause immortality banners everywhere... I'm not a hardcore player with 10 hours per day to farm for a 10 million DPS build, it would be wise to balance things better cause at this point, even if the new atlas mechanics are fine, the elderslayers fights sucks !! If i wanted to play Dark Souls i would not be here... Path of Exile is a Casino for gambling addicts.
Gambling is not fun nor a game mechanic... |

I still don't get what you are supposed to do on him. And I did him twice more yesterday.
- I kill all the banners > He continues to spawn adds and has a bubble for 8+ minutes while my minions slowly kill him... - Tried on my Jugg, as banners die faster... same thing... bubble and huge mitigation for 8+ minutes... The fight just seems shit... it's not hard, or engaging, or tactical, thats it. |

" Have you tried ... let's say .... going inside the bubble ? SSF is not and will never be a standard for balance, it is not for people entitled to getting more without trading.
| |
"Serious question... Does that actually do anything? I think the last time I tried that it was doing nothing until he was arbitrarily taking damage finally. I honestly couldn't tell if something I did outside the bubble allowed me to continue the fight or what. |

I'm pretty sure the last time I fought him, I dealt damage from inside the bubble.

I did too, but only after awhile. I honestly wasn't sure if I just wasn't paying enough attention to the life bar watching pixels slowly move first or if I did some trigger that allowed me to start doing more damage.

Yes, of course. It does some pulsing animation every time you go in/out, so even messed with that for a while.
- Tried spamming the animation - Tried killing ALL banners - Tried kiting - Tried killing banners ON him, etc Kinda hard to not be in melee range, as melee. The fight just seems broken. Again, it's not hard, or fun, just tedious. Last edited by Chalace2#1463 on Jan 15, 2020, 9:36:23 AM

This thread shows that GGG actualy did a good job with the cration of the new atlas. For me Drox always was the easist. It is good to see that the bosses are desind in a way so diffrent builds have differnt chalenges with them.

Alright maybe he is just very beefy at higher levels and you don't have much dps ?
To be honest, how they tankiness ramps up after t12～13 is stupid imo. SSF is not and will never be a standard for balance, it is not for people entitled to getting more without trading.

There isn't much to figure out about Drox. The bubble + banners make him immune to damage so you kill the banners that are in range. The bubble still seems to give some sort of damage reduction but he can be damaged from the inside at the very least, never tried damaging him from the outside.
If you're melee it's really just "Hold down attack button" and wait until he dies. Can take a minute or 2 though unless you have several millions of dps. |
