Siphon elites affixes dont belong in this game

Remove your stupid Mana siphons with that ring that takes 3/4 of the screen removing all mana in 0.2 seconds and have 7X your movement speed and have damage overtime moddifiers


mana siphons dont belong in your game. its not a challenging monster its a waste of time monster that forces a run to the portal and a waste of a new map oppening

how would you feel if someone takes the wheels off your car while your driving?


reduce that ring size...

or reduce their movement speed...

or make their stupid ring have a ON / OFF timer delay...



i dont get the mentality of stoping us from moving and attacking in order to kill us. thats not a "challenge" Mark.

I had an Atlas passive that put mods on bosses, and a boss spawned with one of the mana drain rings and killed my Mind over Matter character before the boss finished spawning, before I even realized the ring was there. Fun stuff.

That was in 0.1

It's no doubt even more insufferable now.

I would wager the fact that you run here to demand they remove it from the game is a good sign it's giving you a little bit of a challenge bud.

If all mods were removed nothing would be a challenge

Mana siphon is only completely busted when there's two of them on fast mobs and the overlap means there is absolutely nowhere to stand

Did you know you can take MoM without taking Eldritch Battery?

The ring also does lightning dmg and even running doryanis prototype i manage to deal with it. It sounds like it is a challenging mechanic if some are able to deal with it and others struggle.

I had to face one of those rares with blades for hands that jump at you in an expedition with mana siphon, super fast, and regenerate 15%HP per second. Couldn't kill it, no matter what I tried. Gave up and left the map. -.-

guess you didnt read my full text. i assumed it wasnt that long and not too complicated for certain people. but let me explain with pin points what i typed to make it easier to understand.



a monster with mana siphon
-including haste
-including damage overtime
-on a class that rely 100% on mana to do damage and heal and perform any single actions
-impossible to outrun
-rendering you completely useless


so "you" run here, replying to me with:
(is a good sign it's giving you a little bit of a challenge bud)


what do you "wager" exacly by challenge? id be intrested to know if you dont mind
it will really help me and many other to understand how people like you resonate in regards of these situations in the game

Have run into these a lot lately. Seems they added a mana drain ground effect to them also, 3 blue areas in proximity to the mob.

When i see the ring I immediately open a portal. I have had these SOB's with haste, regen, that smokey teleport mod, the vines with chaos orbs ...

I play Lightning Arrow Deadeye so I can usually range them down or lay lightning rods and hit them with Magnetic Salvo. But ya I would not miss this mod if removed, it can get real stupid real quick.
