Sanctum feedback- from someone who didn't play it League

cant complete it with this build either. its a skill issue though. sanctum is one of those mechanics that i will never be able to complete no matter what the build is. dont have the reflexes to keep dodging everything.

its pretty unfair that they put a mechanic into this game that has nothing to do with builds and solely relies on the players skill to avoid getting hit.

and they definitely made it much harder than it used to be. in sanctum league i could complete it. just barely, but i could do it

edit- BTW it has nothing to do with lycia, i cant even get past the third floor

Builds do play some role in how good you are in Sanctum. Builds where the DPS is more passive is going to have an easier time. Totems, minions, traps maybe for example. This way you put down stuff that does damage for you so you can spend more of your time dodging.

builds have very little to do with it. some people can do it with boneshatter and other melee skills. some people cant do it with any build. its all about player skill

i throw down the totems and run away but the guard just runs after me and ignores the totem. guards also teleport to you from far away before i even have a chance to react. its just BS

Yeeah the 3rd floor boss is imo even harder than Lycia, I get hit more by that one's lasers than by the final boss. I guess you could look up how some people run it and how they dodge stuff on youtube as a last resort. Once you get used to the mechanic and you build up some nice relics every run is pretty much brain turned off.(but again, on my char I kill the bosses in 1-2 seconds so I only have to dodge a few attacks at most) And I usually always try to hide behind a wall or somewhere when placing totems to kill guards, and the teleporting melee swing guy will always be bullshit. Or any arrow-based guard that starts using abilities on you from 2 screens away but you can't see or damage them off-screen. I have no idea why any monster in this game can aggro to you when you can't even see it. Anything not in your screen shouldn't even be active or moving or anything lol

Weell I have 2900 hp now with 5% life stacked on all my rare jewels, half of it is learning the playstyle of this build and not to flamedash into any packs, because its a coin flip if the mobs do no damage to you or you die.
But I was actually lvl94 when I finished my atlas and all my maps, I just got to 95 then 96 purely from Sanctum because the bosses give so much exp, I was at like 68% exp at lvl96 but died to doing uber bosses and all that exp was from running Sanctum too lol, its insane for leveling and also leveling gems.

But yeah I still have the random death in some maps, especially when I was corrupting for 8-mod maps for endgame grinds.You die a lot when you have to corrupt red maps but then it gets easier to survive once you don't have to corrupt them.

I currently have 225 deaths on my lvl96 char in Ancestor, though a lot of them were in tournaments at 500 ranking because after 300 I literally started dying multiple times every single round. And about 12 or so of those deaths are to the 7 uber bosses that I attempted once each. It's a complete glass cannon, your only defence is a 1k absorb arcane cloak. I just enjoy melting bosses in seconds that's why I play it. And farming Sanctum on it is easy with that dps.

Edit: Also having "blind nearby enemies when you summon a totem" on your cluster jewel is another layer of defence, Mark the Prey anoint gives rares and bosses 10% less accuracy on top of that, and just the fact that Freezing Pulse freezes most enemies in maps instantly.(20% quality on it is important, more proj speed=safer clear because monsters get frozen faster)

Just to add something, I want back to standard and tried my storm brand inq in sanctum. The damage on that build felt great but in sanctum, holy shit they are tanky.

Dunno if my cold dot is just superior or something but the hp scaling seems kinda wack in sanctum
