Eater of worlds Help

Hello guys, this is the first time i play past white maps and i tried to beat the eater of worlds but he one shoted me with tentacles, lasers, doesnt matter what skill he uses. Is that normal?

Playing Slayer Shield crush.
This are my stats:

76%FR
75%CR
75%LR
62%Chaos
Block 75%
Armor 50K
Life 4,8K + 1,5K ES

Fight felt kinda laggy too. Getting hit a bit earlier than animations.

Your character is hidden in your profile.

Sorry, I think it should be public now.

Your shield is probably one of your problems. Emperor's can be pretty good, yet it can also be really wonky if you don't fully account for how it works. I'm guessing you only really use that shield for its high armor value. But it does have drawbacks.

Every time you don't block, your ES is completely ignored by the hit and damage goes straight to your life. Your life is less than optimal for trying to facetank late endgame stuff in that regard. And 50k armor is only ok-ish for an armor-focused build. Since you don't seem to be running any noteworthy spell block, spell hits are often going to punch right through your ES.

Glancing Blows is also problematic without a worthwhile amount of recovery on block. It looks good at a glance because of how easily it maxes your attack block, but you're taking 65% of the damage from every blocked hit instead of negating 100% of the damage.

But for Eater specifically, all of his abilities do heavy lightning damage, with cold added on for his area nuke, rendering your only ok-ish armor for this char null against him. You're only at capped res. And IIRC, his tentacle attack also cannot be blocked at all (a problem going back to your shield).

Basically, you probably shouldn't be trying to take his hits with this character. You should be avoiding them. Some combination of things like increased max resists, topaz flask, and a different shield would help you a lot though.

Just to be sure, you did fight the normal version right? You did not allocate the Eater of Worlds is level 85 node at the top of his wheel on the atlas tree?

If you fought the normal version you should be able to take at least the tentacles with your stats, maybe even the beam if you run him white and pop molten shell. Maybe try getting shock immunity somewhere, all his damage is lightning so that might be an issue.

Yes i fought the normal version.Im using tempest shield for the shock.
Gonna try with the topaz flask like and pushing max lr. But i thought it was weird that all the skills kill were instant death because the searing exarch went down without so much struggle.

Fix rings + amulet + helmet, change body armour craft to damage taken as fire/lightning (you could have ~ 400 life from these slots more than you currently have, as well as more general stats. You probably have more chaos resist than you need at this point but you can maintain that too if you need)

Investigate if dreamfeather is actually giving you more dps than a 3 green prismatic eclipse

change flasks to something conventional like granite/basalt so you can hit them if you are gonna get tentacled.

Lastly... learn the fight tbh eater has some of the easiest telegraphs for a boss, the only thing you should get hit by is his auto attack everything else has an obvious audio cue, telegraph windup and plenty of dodge time to just get behind him generally. Helps to stay close except for when hes spamming hunger obviously.

The last block shouldn't be taken as me giving you stick btw I'm more saying be patient and feel out his very limited list of attacks and you'll be comfortable whatever gear you've got on.

Edit: and arrogance is generally used to reserve a level 1 flat mana aura then allocate the 1 max res mastery, reserving ~ 10% of your life for precision needs fixing elsewhere (like rings mentioned above, get some accuracy)
