Funniest thing I've read all day. Can Support please remove more pesky map bosses? ;)

This thread title takes the cake for me.
Mods made it more funny than intended.

Ok... Let me explain it to you: Things in this game deal different kinds of damage, posing different kinds of threats versus different kinds of defenses - rocket science, I know. 'Every' character has its weakness, and when the stars align, be that a combination of map mods, altar mods and whatnot, a regular mob that happens to exploit your weakness, buffed by map mods, altar mods and other shit, will kill you.

The Defiled Cathedra boss is not dangerous. His huge minion MAY be, but his attacks are so slow, you could dodge it in your sleep.

Its not about his attacks, its bout his lazors

Your a totem char your not tanking anything

100% spell supp 30k armor/evasion and 4k hp != tank

i dont have a totem character?

Well, the explanation is that the game is actively trying to kill you and make it difficult for you, which often equates to unexplainable random one-shots or giga damage.

I'm neither defending, nor supporting such game design. It's just what it is. Your either accept it or not. Whenever some random white mob one-shots me, I just remind myself that at least I'm not playing hardcore.

What is a physical Dot if not bleeding? HIV, TBC or Pest???

This boss is trash.

If bleeding immunity completely counters it, it wouldn't be...bossy I guess

Back on topic: I suppose it's testament to the devs' genius that they can make boss/map combinations that can baffle and wreck the shit of even a habitual 40/40 player.

That or maybe collecting all 40 achievements doesn't require encyclopædic knowledge of a game that likes to change its rules every so often.
