List of map bosses to avoid for Maven?
|
Hi there,
I'm trying to figure out which bosses I should be trying to get into Maven's invitation. Is there some info regarding which should be avoided/focused on? Trying to avoid the dangerous ones on HC. Thanks Last bumped on Feb 19, 2021, 12:03:16 PM

So far, with up to 5 and not seen them all in Maven fights, I have found them easier than in their natural states. I'll be interested to see if there are some that folks have found particularly dangerous. I suspect the risk will be more in combinations of certain buffs and debuffs rather than the individual bosses.

it also depends on build and its weaknesses.. for the time you play PoE you certainly know the bosses so should be able to determine which ones can cause your build a trouble when you are getting slowed and debuffed while they are getting buffed and spam healed..
I personally dont recommend Eradicator (Elder guardian specialized in lightning damage) he is pretty nasty and annoying and for my build became unkillable with the heal spam and limited time to damage him Beware of new maps with bosses you dont know well yet. They can surprise you with heavy damage and some are very annoying. Maybe watch some videos of them first IGN: Eric_Lindros CET: Timezone Last edited by Ludvator#6587 on Feb 18, 2021, 4:03:45 PM

For me, I would avoid the bosses that deal chaos damage.
Racecourse boss is the one most people would avoid, because of his temporary reflect aura. If you have minions, avoid Acid Caverns boss. |

Doubling up on "Rigwald" from Lair/Dark Forest can be super annoying, especially if they're both active at the same time.
I have a pretty good sense of humor. I'm not German.

Most answers are correct as Ludvator mentioned it depends from your builds and You should know what Bosses to avoid if You know game. If not, You should have similar char in Softcore to test it, there is no other way.
As aggromagnet mentioned "Rigwald" from Lair/Dark Forest could be danger with addition with rest Bosses but it depends from build. In hardcore You can't do everything what You want. 🌞 Designer of SimpleFilter just follow it 🌞 🌞 I treat PoE as an art 🌞 Last edited by koszmarnica#7777 on Feb 19, 2021, 4:51:42 AM

The 10 boss fight is fixed at very high tier. You should avoid Crimson Township map boss at all costs. At random, they may sometimes be released all ten at once. In the clusterfk, it is very hard to spot him to down him first. My life was draining even as I tried to kite the gang by running around the periphery.
Vaal temple map as well. The titty bitch's Rain of Arrows skill doing overtuned damage which is even more ridiculous when you consider no human players uses that skill for end-game. |

Last advise. Not all contend in hardcore You can reach. In past I had many problems with some Bosses. I had problem with Veritana. I added some statuses I throw on her and with Dream Fragments I can pass her but only to 3 encounters (with 2 Watchstones). Her dual wing attack is still most deadly from close distance for Me. I cant pass Atziri. Baran is hard for Me too, relatively Drox, the Warlord is easy. I could pass Al-Hezmin the Hunter with Chaos Inoculation I switch for him.
The most important characteristic for player in Hardcore is patience this is 50% of the success the rest is knowledge. I never pass Catarina, Master of Undeath although I have opened Safehouse to her from long time. In Softcore I die once here and I don't know what it was and till I check what it was I will never go to her. Other case is I play rarely and have no time for do all this steps. Like says Lady Dialla don't die :) 🌞 Designer of SimpleFilter just follow it 🌞 🌞 I treat PoE as an art 🌞 Last edited by koszmarnica#7777 on Feb 19, 2021, 1:57:07 PM
