Wow, this boss is crazy. Why is he allowed all those abilities?

Somehow this guy hits me like a friggin MONSTER TRUCK ON STEROIDS. I am sitting on 2100hp, 57 fire res and nothing I can do seems to give me enough leeway to get a few hits in, and drop his (STUPIDLY HUGE) ES enough to get to his hp. Decoy totems, minions ... all these are pretty weak without invested links and passives, and fall quickly to his firestorm and instatraps. Speaking of which, why do they do so much damage? Its like 1/3 of my hp on a crit, wtf ggg? 57 fire res should mean something, do you really want me to spend a year shuffling my stash around and painfully trade (with this horrible trading system) just to max it? I don’t even have a damn ruby flask, because self found and rng sucks ass. Yeah, gg ggg ... fix this boss pls! My opinion is he is currently overtuned, has too huge of an ES, and needs a cooldown on those traps.

I dont even have a viper strike gem and dont even ask me to equip a bow with boring shitty poison arrow that will take a century of kiting to kill him, and also I lose more res from shield loss. Oh yeah, I dont even have enough dex for a simple low level bow ... cuz this game dont give you stat points on level up like d2 ... instead you are forced to take them from the tree and if you are a marauder, there is no DEX FRIGGEN ANYWHERE

THIS GAME SUX


You have 57% fire resist and are complaining about getting owned by fire damage in the hardest difficulty setting?

You are attempting to use un-leveled and un-supported Decoy Totems and Minions as a distraction and are complaining they die too quickly?

Yes, you are expected to have max fire resist when fighting him or not get hit. Yes, you are expected to have and execute a tactical plan, which includes choosing and leveling appropriate gems, linking proper supports, and if necessary, spend points in the passive tree to improve the skills you have chosen to use.

My melee Duelist had no problem beating this guy. Now I had to use hit/run tactics because I cannot tank his hits, and I had to be sure that I hit often enough to not allow his energy shield to regenerate, but as you can see, I had a plan of attack, and of course, 75% fire resist and a properly leveled Decoy Totem, though honestly, I didn't use the Totem much, only when I messed up my Dual Strike/Whirling Blade timing or took a stray crit that ate 2/3 of my life globe.

why would i support my summons if im not a summoner and i dont have enough sockets? derp ... ofc decoy totem is levelled ... it just sucks ASS

and I have SOL ... so i have a decent chunk of spell block too .. still hits every other one he casts

but when he hits it just too much and he spams that fucking trap like no tomorrow ... PEW PEW PEW
He doesn't need nerfing because YOU'RE not capable of killing him lol.. Just fucking quit if you think the game sucks cause' you can't kill a FIRE dealing BOSS when you have shit FIRE RESISTANCE. Another point made about kids going to ruin this game wanting everything nerfed for easy mode.

so much rage...

Grav is a boss you need to prepare for. he's not like a random rare you can just faceroll - you need a plan.

having said that, I agree with the OP that his ES is too much. I think he has more of it than Piety, and it regens faster. this is what makes no sense.
Alva: I'm sweating like a hog in heat
Shadow: That was fun
Killed both him and Piety at level 59 last night. Easiest boss in the game. Max Block + Stone of Lazwhar + Phoenix shield or Saffells.

It's funny how you went on and on about how easy Weaver in Jungle Valley is, and Merc Gravicius griefs you. Even my witch can tank the shipyard version with a Phoenix.

there is nothing wrong with my build, its cyclone max block facebreaker build, one of the best tanks in the game atm. Its the boss thats broken and needs a fix asap


obviously there is something wrong if you have a big gaping hole in your fire resist, and ofc you gonna get wrecked by A3 merc fire mobs if you have a big gaping hole in your fire resist

are you stupid?

Had a good laugh guys lol

With how much you fed me, this troll's not gonna move out of bed for months LOL

If you are not a summoner, and don't support your summons, why did you use summons and expect them to work?

As for Decoy Totem, a leveled one works just fine, but against Grav it's not going to last more than a couple of seconds.

And again, you are complaining about getting owned by fire damage while only having 57% fire resist. Yes, the fire damage is going to hit you like a ten-ton hammer until you address your gear problem.

I have read all the posts in this thread. You should now be well aware of why Grav is extremely difficult for you and what you need to do to be able to win the fight and continue on with the game. Continuing to think there is nothing wrong with your equipment and build and that you should be entitled to win without making changes is not going to get you anywhere.

Edit... though you posting again while I was typing... that didn't get read.
