LOOOOL Blacksmith´s coming

So after a break I started to play yesterday again. As I am lvl 66 I tried my first normal map and did it solo. It has been a dunes-map and - as I had no idea of maps - I expected it to be harder than the normal game. But everything was smooth and easy until I reached the last corner of this map. There I found a Hillok-like-creature named Blacksmith, stuck in a fence and my minions, and it looked as if he could take quite some damage. So I had my minions on him and thought everything would be allright...until ! - he suddenly jumped out of his trap and directly on poor me !

I nearly died, but seeing this Hillok-clone jumping around made me so much laughing that he really killed me two times.It is amusing, to see OAk jump like a frog, but the Hillok-figure is really something else....

Anyway, it turned out to be a kind of easy job to kill him with my minions, but I seriously dought, that I could have killed him on melee. He seems to be a little bit overpowered and got too much resistence for melee solo players. What do melee players think of him?

I have a video about him to share :)

nice video, thx :))

Yepp, think for melee he is a biiig problem, even wonder he can be done with anything else in solo but a summoner witch.

or with high armor and flasks and stuff or just immunity to physical i guess

Happened the same^^

I am a CI- Witch, mainly with Ice-Spear. He is pretty annoying, but as ranged pretty easy.
Just kite him all day long.

But it takes the fun away ;o

Right after they changed him I did a pub Spider Forest map. He wiped out 4/6, no one was expecting it at all.

The dunes guy does hit really hard for a 66, him and brutus.

Facetanking blacksmith without any endurance charges up, on a vulnerability map, seems like a good idea. The way I deal with him on my CI phy wander is pretty easy. I just pop a diamond flask and he drops dead before drawing his weap.

I can tank him pretty easily with my claw duelist and my gear and build sucks (as always, but that is another story). A problem though are two of them. Played a dunes map with 2 unique bosses 2 days ago and accidentally cursed them with Vulnerability instead of Enfeeble. Well, that did not last long :P

My ears! How can you rage so hard simply about a game?! That is embarrassing...

Dam that sht was fucking funny as hell, especially when he tps out and goes back in and Hillock just ninja-ed the sht out of him. This video is a prime example of how not to use cyclone though. Never click on mobs to use it, that sht will desync you non stop. Click on the ground and hold it (Note this method wastes ALOT more mana, but allows more controls and reduces desync GREATLY).

I rofl'ed hard at that video, hilarious stuff, teleporting and the boss living with a slither of HP.

The blacksmith is kinda an out of depth boss for a level 66, especially to a melee starting maps, range for the most part and minion walls are fine, but pure melee it's a really tough battle for that point of starting in maps.

Then again, I like when bosses are hard, need more bosses though that for melee it's easy, for ranged/caster it's horrid.
