Is there any counterplay to Shock and Horror's lightning degen in arenas with no LOS blocking?

Good old frost wall should do

Wait, really????

I gotta test this against the Map version.

I guess in POE 2 i will have one Frost Wall and one Frost Bomb in my setup.....

So, since the DOT beam was previously taking me down in about 0.5-2 seconds in the past

People told me that to play Maven's Writ in add phase, dps down the brain

is not viable, as it would take multiple Mirrors to have anywhere close to hope of phasing A9 Maven brain in 0.5-2 seconds on my Gladiator.

So I grabbed an Ahuana Glorious Vanity, and WOW overleech is potent. Can actually facetank Infused (level 83) Eternal Labyrinth traps if I've Hit stuff recently. I just hope it was worth losing 300 total Life to get it. I'm probably fine as I still have 5.5k, increased Fortify effect, and Molten Shell to tank big hits.

Hopefully this will let me facetank the lightning DOT beam on Maven! Leech is OP so I'm optimistic.

I tested Frost Wall, and sadly it does NOT block Shock and Horror's degen beam. So much for that strategy :(

Bummer, there are so few instances to utilize frost wall - this should have been one of them.

Oh well

My memory is quite fuzzy but I could have sworn I had a Maven arena where I was able to out-rotate the beam. It would make sense since GGG mentioned (in a ZiggyD or Zizaran pre-league interview?) they tweaked certain boss mechanics in the arena so they can actually be run in the arena.

I think The Goddess and Shock and Horror are near to be name locking....

I'm pretty sure you can outrange shock and horror in maven's arena. Might not be feasible for certain builds during the maven fight specifically though.

200 MS. may be, but i think the brain shoot out a laser that rotate?

Sorry for necroing, but I just wanted to show my appreciation (and hopefully share the "solution" to anyone else who was running into the same problem):

Anyway, It is clearly overleech mechanic for the glad. You either get from belt or timelesss jewel(The Agnostic Key stone good for it).

Aha - Immortal Ambition, yes? That's actually clever as I can be flexible with my belt slot. Will have to give it some thought.

Big thanks to GaripFikir for reminding me that Immortal Ambition is a thing. Well worth the 6 passive points I sacrificed for it. Technically, I haven't yet run into Shock and Horror in the Maven fight again... BUT I have been able to facetank Shock and Horror's beam in 10-boss Maven's Invitations, which I'd presume acts as proof of concept.

Moreover, this character used to melt to double (Guardian's Aid) Elder Guardians due to the strong Ignites, Maven's burning orb, Poison, and flaming skybeams. However, just cleared a 65 quant The Twisted invitation deathless.

Long Live Immortal Ambition!
