71 Temple Map boss.

People who say "skip her"; believe it or not, but there are people out there who play this game because they want a challenge, and Piety is one, if not the only, hard boss you'll find in a map. You actually have to move around to not get hit by something while doing damage, instead of just standing in one place pressing one button to attack - seems like this concept feels alien to a lot of players.

If anything, there should be more bosses like Piety in maps seeing as this is our end game content and END game should be a challenge.

agreed 100% spot on stick and move kite whatever .

She isn't that difficult, just move out of the way of the lightning bolts and you won't have a problem. My sorc can burst her down in 2-3 seconds from point blank range if she has flamm or ele weakness on her. Just be sure to take out the side mobs first because depending on what they are they can make the fight more difficult.

Only time this boss is an issue if the map mods are -max resists + ele weakness + boss extra speed and damage... then I guess you'd need to bring a topaz flask. I don't carry one but actually now that you mention it I have 3 mana pots on my belt that are rarely used, so it wouldn't hurt at all to stick a topaz on there in case i roll a crazy piety.

I'm not crying or asking for nerfs or QQ'n so gtfo. I'm simply asking for a little advise how to beat a map boss.
Now that I think about it they were always rare maps with multiple projectiles or always something that ramps up the difficulty. Of course I'm running flask and enfeeble and totems But those quickly disappear as well.

That Fairgraves hat is a great idea. I'll have to take that along with me and try that out.

stop raging dude and calm down pls, child

'quickly disappear as well' just lol'd dude, thanks for that. clicking a button a 2nd time is so bloody hard!

And I dont know why lmp / gmp piety would be an issue, balls are too huge to shotgun afaik

Get purity, EA, inner force, and flask. You wont even need any defensive skills or enfeeble then (unless max res map). Thats one way to go around it off the top of my head, and the most effective to make her dmg laughable, and if you arent a noob player this should be something that should have come to mind. I could link a 1000 videos of ppl facetrolling temple piety all day, and embarass you kid, but i wont.

This, look how they nerfed kole / brutus for casuals and that retard kripp :( although she isnt that hard tbh (temple piety, not shrine)

Not to mention she would only be a problem to melee, if ranged / summoner / spellcaster would have issues with her slow moving and easily sidestepped lightning balls its just lol, they be so bad players then.

There is not such thing as challenge in ARPG. All bosses are very simple constructions, straight from 80-th arcades. You don't have complex game mechanics to support any challenge, only gear checks

Go beat ghost Doku in Ninja Gaiden Black, that will give you some idea what challenge is about. Hard and unforgiving, but smart, requiring high skills and punishing only your own mistakes

ARPG skills are: making valuable build and choose the right gear suatable for particular area. Combat itself with bosses is kind of bland

I kill an enemy by shooting them off screen. 'Dat challenge.

As Flapdrol said chaos damage is good !


I killed her with 1700 life 0 ES so i know what i am talking about. ( http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/398601/page/1 )


The can try to reach 80 lightning res, or more : to be immuned to lightning balls, then the only thing you should worry about would be the falling lightning strikes, with saffel's frame and elemental adaptation node.

The trategy is to :

1. kill monsters around.
2. If she hit with a falling lightnng strikes move immediately ether by going in her direction oh another direction, then she will cast another one, just make sure to not go back to a previous place where lightning strile is still falling ( don't know how to call them ), you must enfeeble her all the time. all the time you are hitting with chaos damage.
3. Have Vitality to recover, she will not follow you when you run away.

WIth max ele res + topaz flask effect, her attacks will do almost no damage so with 4 flasks you could hit a lot before having to to adopt the above strategy, your problem in a party is that you don't have a lot off portals to refill the topaz flasks.


Another problem is that if your party has 6 players you will have to face a 6 players piety version.

Good luck ;D

get one of these, buy level 20 viper strike and link it with increased duration. Run to piety add debuffs and run away and repeat if needed ;p

that + added chaos damage + viper strike + vulnerability + temporal chains

Leapslam in, Heavy strike until dead... pretty much that simple.
