Are Tentacle Miscreations still just way, way too strong?

really if you can't handle them you should rework your build/gear

Oh cmon, you posted a video with only couple normal ranged miscreations attacking you in a nice manner. A good amount of builds can do that.


You should really test it out when you are under vulnerability curse, while they have fires additional projectiles, and happen to be near a rare mob that has allies attack faster aura. I wonder if that is enough to test out Aegis Aurora's limit.




I really do not have any issue with then with my one of my builds, they can make me sweat a bit, but it would take them a while to take me down.....if I allow it. They are the only mobs that can pretty much proc my block chance easily, so I do block most of their attacks.




Edit: Changed the first sentence.

Sure, PM me when you've found a good pack of titty bitches in a lvl 77 vuln map, and sent me an invite.

By the way, this char was only 64 at the time, and geared with crap except for the weapon and shield, everything else was still facebreaker leveling gear. (same ever since lvl 16)

Hi

People should also keep in mind that when they start firing:MOVE, its all in the timing)

cheers

My personal strategy for dealing with them is to cast a totem off to the side, so they start firing at the totem. You then have a couple seconds to go in there and whip some titties.

To OP: do you like to facetank Vaal's lighning attack sa well? The fight isn't just about swinging a big stick, it's about some footwork, too, you know. And the tentas are extremely vulnerable to side-stepping.

I had quite a big problem with them with my CI templar, if I didn't use chayula I would die, since they would just stun lock me to death. With chayula its a whole different thing, I don't even have to move since I can shoot fireballs at them without being interrupted and regen the ES via life leech gem (Ghost reaver + Vaal pact).

6k es, 75% to all res (practically no armor/eva)

Since wearing chayula for caster is quite retarded, i decided to waste 10 points (I needed str anyway for support gems and I find I do not need more than 6k es or more dps) and got unviewering stance, since then I didn't die to them. In fact Vaal Pact + Ghost reaver + unviewering stance + molten shell linked to life leech + life leech on fireball makes me die very very seldom to anything and only when I don't pay attention.

Grace + Ondar's Guile + Arctic Armour = /thread

Try sidestep in tunnel or underground river maps, where there's corridors so tight you can hardly get down them yourself. I have a dual totem flame totem guy that runs 7k evasion using grace and ondars, and I afk in front of titty bitches. No Armour at all. 0. My character sheet doesn't even have a Physical Damage Reduction section. Ondar's Guile is 6 points from the Void Bringer wheel in shadow tree, more points are used to get IR and Unwavering (common for CI and dual totem guys to take these, no idea why..), both of which are completely useless and unnecessary. Arctic Armour at lvl 7 (what I use) takes like 80 mana regen to sustain while running.... you just need a lvl 17 Clarity and 1000 ish mana and you will be able to sustain. So yeah, know what you're talking about before you try and palm off someone with an actual solution.

Between the fact that Vulnerability is eventually going to hit, and the fact that they swarm you with insane damage, I think they need looked at again.

60% faster stun/block recovery after Vulnerability
8.2k ES (and a whole level 7 arctic armour)
Died in about 1.4 seconds.
0 rares, a few magical ones, but none with +dmg mods.

Is Lunaris just flat out completely unplayable without -curse flasks and incredible reaction times?
Are they supposed to be this insane?
Or am I missing something?

(to put that in perspective, Carnage can rarely come close to that kind of dps against me)

Your doing something wrong, not sure what it is but they dont need to be changed they are perfectly fine.
