Havent tried it yet since buff. Sounds like we have another candidate for skipping or tiering up the map.

But whats the logic behind buffing already OP bosses? Forcing people into partying? Is this where PoE is going - a MMOesque bastard game with forced gameplay mechanics?

I solo this boss without freeze mine. Either burning discharge or GMP-fireballs. Basically I enter the room and shoot towards the middle and hope I hit the boss. When health gets low I leave the room and heal up. Monsters/boss do not follow you. It is safe, but you have to be careful. It is a dangerous boss.

This seems fairly dangerous for ranged builds...BUT FOR MELEE?! IMPOSSIBLE

I guess you could say ...

It's a torture chamber


On Serious Note; I do feel this boss is grossly overtuned

Have 25% leech with 20k dps, 9k armor and 4k hp.

Not that it helps with your problem here with this boss, but I am just curious if you know about the life leech cap and how much of that "25%" you are completely wasting. At least 17% of that 25 (didn't bother doing that math to get it exact) is doing absolutely nothing for you as you can only leech 20% of your max HP per second.

So perhaps you could do some things differently with your gear and drop some of that wasted leech and in turn gain some things that with help you in other area's?


Not that it will help you with the overpowered boss, but it's a still a solid piece of advice for you generally speaking.

I wouldn't say that is 'completely' true

Check this: (Not my video, but It has happened to me as well)

I stand corrected.

Seems like every new changes to bosses are balanced around Freeze Mine-prolif cheese fests.

lol, seriously get rid of this shitty boss or nerf please

wish someone would throw my way that map lol .. im kinda not there yet with my pool ;[

My speculation - undying evangelist - grab spectre gem and this mob enter with shield - should make things quite easy for ranged and somewhat easier for melee.
Skely totem ?

Not that I used this method myself but inner force + 54% of increased aura effect + purity of lightning + topaz flask = 95% lightning resist.

edit: or saffels frame could go a long way too

I tried this boss as melee without any crazy mods
I had:

11k Double strike DPS
4750 HP
85% Lightning resist (+2% passive, +3%Purity of Lightning, +5% Saffel shield)
95% Lightning resist with Topaz Flask up (Brought 2 Topaz flasks that removed shock stacks)
75% spellblock (Saffel)

.... I still nearly died as melee.
