Whoever designed Drox's mechanics [Removed by Support]

Tried Drox with an EssenceDrain/Contagion Trickster and it was not possible for me to kill him. I was not able to clear those stupid banners fast enough to damage him. And i love the oneshoot-deaths.

And with my last experiences with this game i got the impression that bosses could be only done with specific builds but not with every build. And i am not talking about messed up builds or such things. Just plain normal good working builds for maps but failing in such specific situations. Shouldnt happen that way.

you dont need to clear the banners, just stay in his bubble and kill him. he will be harder to kill while he is in the bubble but he still loses hp

Spent half an hour, and failed obviously, to kill an invulnerable boss that continuously clutters the battlefield with banners. banners which make the Boss Immune to all damage, and that have as high health as the damn boss himself.

Now, I don't mind having long boss battles, or having challenging shit to do, but at least give me a fucking chance to hit back.

Rant over, before the "git gud" crowd arrives.

if you can't kill drox then your DPS must be really bad

lol i can melt him even with the 90% dmg reduc trough the banners git gut buddy

I believe as long as you kill the banners near him he can still be damaged when he's in his bubble.

Don't even have to do that, they just grant him damage reduction - not outright immunity. He's the tankiest of the 4 conquerors but not THAT big of a hp sponge even if you completely ignore the banners.

Drox feels pretty bad even with a million and depending on your damage distribution it can turn into a real slog when you get 4-5 seconds per banner drop to actually do damage to him.

If you have the dps he's pretty much the easiest though

As everyone else mentioned, you need to stay inside the bubble and just DPS him down. He is never really immune to damage at any point, but does have an insane damage reduction. Thou needeth to git gud.

If you have good aoe you can just blast him and any banner nearby simultaneously. It's a well designed boss in my opinion.

OP, why do you have 2 ancestral warchief setups? How many total totems can you drop?
I don't understand, help me there.
Why Steelskin, immortal call and molten shell? Why not JUST Molten Shell, my ancestors are crying. Your GUARD skills are crippling each other, and you still get the same cool down.
Nothing should mess with molten shell... EVER. Do your vaal side areas and get vaal molten shell. level it in your offhand. When you pop Vaal Molten, run to Drox and LET him hit you, then throw some lava in his face and run!
I fight Drox in the middle, F your banners bro!
He does take damage always, they nerfed the immunity last league.
Hide behind pillars, drop totems, dodge "WEIGHT OF LAW" get a banner down, do MORE damage for a few seconds, keep chipping away.
Low DPS takes a LOOOOONG time to kill him, but he does die.
Just keep leaping behind him everytime he swings, it's annoying as hell, but even my low dps old ass can kill him. Yes it is a looooong fight and yes I would rather fight all the other 3 conquerors at once!
But it's not impossible, and it isn't time to reroll, but it is probably time to look over the build and see where improvements can be made.
If your not 5 million DPS, then you better be able to be smashed in the face with a smile... I do a lot of smiling :)

Oh and my guess is you have never even seen the bubble everyone is talking about. That is ok though, just keep dropping totems and praying, he will die... eventually. When you get him down to about 20% in the first 3 fights, he will go in a bubble in you can only hurt him in there. in the 4th fight he is always in the bubble... so yeah, there is that to look forward to. LOL Good Luck!

What tier drox is that strong? I've been having an easy time with him up through yellow maps and my build is neither expensive nor op. I assume t16 drox with some awakening shenanigans?

Since when does every build have to be able to do red maps? I have gotten plenty of drops in yellows and feel my build has ample challenge in low tier red maps. Even beating the shaper guardians was considered an exclusive club for a long time. GGG finally tries to revert a small amount of our power creep and everyone explodes just as it was predicted they would?

Map progression shouldn't be gated behind bosses and mandatory specified grind though. Story being mandatory was bad enough, endgame becoming a second (longer) story grindfest is pure retardation.
