do you realize how godawful shitty the dmg on spec throw and fire trap are gonna be???
it will take me like 20 fucking minutes to take down a boss......

Probably not slower than dying. Also, that's why no leech on ST.

ST's kind of hard to support anyway. You want Faster Attacks and then... it's really all kind of meh. Even LMP isn't really that awesome.

I'm trying to give you real advice, you know?

yea i know

i dont feel like i should have to resocket and reroll the colors of my items to be able to run skills just to try and run specific maps
with 80% lite res and 45k armour and 5k life and vaal pact there is no fucking way a level 72 boss who does lite and phys dmg only should 1 shot me
its just retarded and stupid

im not trying to facetank some 75+ map or a vaal smash

its pretty motherfucking stupid

i gotta agree that damage seems stupid out of control. you still haven't told us the map mods yet.

map mods where monsters cant be stunned, ele eaquilibrium, burning ground, max monster life and i think the last was warlords mark
no -res mods
no + dmg mods for bosses i know better than that
no enfeeble no temp chains nothing like that no boss dmg or fleet mods

Just donate to people all your items and quit. Not sell them and quit.

pfft id sell my items for ex and then make a video of me selling the ex for scroll fragments just out of spite

Then just quit, this game is designed such that everyone will get owned in some ways. Only the patient ones stay. Either you be like those hardcore league players that keep hit and run until they take hours just to kill one boss, or you spend thousands of exalts on omnipotent builds that have above 10k hp and above 10k damage with overpriced items like legacy kaoms and 6L bows.

im aware of this and im all for a challenge
but when i properly prepare and i still get 1 shotted through what should be massive dmg reduction its pretty fucking frustrating to me as a player especially when i KNOW ive done almost everything to prepare for it properly
there is no reason i should have been 1 shotted through 80 lite res and 45k armour with 5k hp AND vaal pact

I've run a lot of in my time and never got oneshot by the boss with way less defensive stats than you as a melee. I think enfeeble is what does the trick. Also decoy totem before you start fighting so that you can get blind from the get go doesn't matter if the totem survives or not. Codt is bad for some skills.

You are free to leave at any time, nobody will stop you. Why do you think GGG would allow facetanking the entire game? Reflect is in the game to prevent people from going all out on dps.

there was no reflect..... i prepared for the bosses dmg by getting massive lite res and remove shock with massive armour

there is no fucking way that i should have been 1 shotted

enfeeble makes a huge difference.

What (map) mods did the boss have?

i have enfeeble on CODT with imortal call and enduring cry and molten shell

didnt even have a chance to go off before i died

Yeah that's weird. I have 6.5k life, but only 6500 armor and 75% lightning. I do use a topaz but not anything specific, just a bleed removal one which I have for storm herald (and as an extra for corrupting blood). I have fought him twice recently and didn't take much damage.

You probably got crit. Since he uses lightning strike, i don't think it's like lightning spells where you can roll a small or big number. It's just a percentage of the physical. So other than crits, his damage should be somewhat consistent. That's weird I don't know. Maybe it does somehow roll like other lightning attacks, not sure.

I use enfeeble with 11 (not much lower than 20 now for accuracy) quality and the BoR blind. With that and 71% block chance, he doesn't usually hit me much. Try using a totem on him manually, since you can put it behind him and he'll turn to attack it.

But yeah that's a lot of damage, I've never seen him do that much. Nt sure why.

Also, as far as dodging him, you really can't. As a melee build, he is far too fast to dodge and using a ranged attack isn't optimal at that level unless you're built for it. IMO

Edit: was your body shocked after death? I don't know if shock can cause the damage increase as it is inflicted, I'd like to know that. Like, if the hit that causes the shock actually benefits from it,

You likely got unlucky and got critted. Still, I find it hard to believe that it would be enough to kill you since an attack from that boss deals about 2k damage to me with very low armour and 77% lit resist.
