Just spent 3 entire hours trying to kill a single monster
|
What is a bug in other games, is a feature here. Or is it?
It had the archnemesis modifiers, the first 3, were made by a recipe. Permafrost Rejuveneting Berserker Steel-infused If you have no immunity to elemental ailments, nor any reduction, as I didn't; doesn't matter what you do, you'll die, because it can freeze you with every hit for some 4 or 5 seconds, and it hits every half a second... I changed my build temporarily multiple times, tried multiple things; even had to spend a passive point where I didn't want to. And finally killed it. I'm by no means any amateur, play this game since 2013. I play SSF only. What do you forum dwellers think about it? Is it a feature or a bug? Am I the bug? What should I do?

Feature. Know your build's limitations and the monster's strengths.

" In this case, feature. Another character could clearly have killed it because freeze immunity exists. You just made a monster that required it while not having it on your character. An even quicker example would be the component that buffs Energy Shield. If you select that, and then unlock a Devourer (which burrows), and don't have the DPS to break the shield before it burrows & refreshes its energy shield because you can't damage it... well that's your miscalculation. The correct solution is to accept that you misjudged & run away. Sure, try other things first if you're keen, but not all content is solvable for every setup. Hence why I say game feature. There's plenty of daft garbage in PoE that really should be fixed, but this sort of ability to accidentally enter content that's 'too high a level' (metaphorically) is by design & part of the game's attraction. | |

So a character without freeze immunity should never use the "Permafrost" archnemesis mod, is that it...?

" This. YOU chose to give the monster life regen and the ability to freeze you. Archnemesis is not a mechanic which rewards players who randomly click on things without reading them, you need to be a little more tactical in your approach if you want to maximize rewards and minimize frustration. |

" Yep, prettymuch. I'm playing a lightning arrow build that's half cold - using Stormweaver & Frostweaver is a bad idea (lightning & cold resistance), and those are hellishly common components. Using both at once is a very bad idea & that's a standard recipe. Permafrost is somewhat doable for me between flasks, range & using totems. I don't have 100% immunity but I could kill it without. Might be too slow to be worth bothering tho. Builds.. they vary. Last edited by Lakh#0167 on Feb 6, 2022, 5:16:30 PM

The mods are meant to be impactful, not minor things you can ignore.

" Think of the rare you are trying to own like your girlfriend. If she is - PermaNaggy - Berserk shopping spree using your currency - Rejuvenate on sofa while you do cleaning Do you want to change your life (build) to accommodate or move on? Last edited by hsuchijp#7366 on Feb 6, 2022, 8:28:33 PM
