Baran over tuned?

It is just me or is Baran way harder? I just fought him on a T16 map and his cast speed was so fast that I could do nothing but run. Soon as I stopped to cast I was down 3/4 my hp from a single cast. I felt like I was fighting Esh in the Invasion event. Except for this time I have max resit and 25k armor. The last attempt he one-shot me and it was not his super cast, in fact, he never did anything but that one cast over and over.

he always very deadly at A9 + T16

so that i am very happy it is almost deleted from the game (now it is an itemized map)

He has that one lightning spell that you should look out for. Easy 6k hit if they overlap (without damage mods). Be lightning res capped ofc or have a lightning -> phys watcher's eye.

Keep a reasonable distance from him but not too far and watch his animations, when his hand glows dash away. Hope this helped.

Knowledge is power :D

This MF made me fail the 4 conqueror invite.
His damage output is insane.

OP: Did you roll any kind of cast speed on the map mod? He's normally not super fast (though not slow either). But if you have a cast speed mod on the map, he can be insanely fast.

I can't remember, but I did't think the map mods would affect them since map mods on conquerors I don't think was a thing before. Zane just sent you there.

Map mods definitely affect them (a few don't). Baran on "fleet" is insane.

It was a thing in 3.13 which you can craft it
