When th beam starts immediately line of sight it by moving behind one of the three pillars (north/east/west) sides. The boss will then stop casting it and you can go back to dpsing it. Repeat as needed.

Does Frost Wall cancel the DoT beam in the same way the pillars do?

So I leveled up and tried this new buffed version.
Currently I play pure EVA reave/doublestrike shadow and can facetank Temple Piety without any special gear with just two topaz flasks per kill and base lightning res at 75. Phase acrobatics is sufficient for Piety. In case of any additional dmg. or survivability mods, I maybe need to refill once. S&H melts me in 2 seconds. Its not even a fight. Being melee, running away its not even an option, because she keeps that beam on your arse the whole time... -_- GGG hasnt been able to produce a Vaal equivalent fair bossfight since, well, since Vaal... which is two or more years old. Right now it's all about partying and gear-check oneshooting mechanics. Ill be enjoying endgame until the rest of the bosses are "balanced" for party and specific 10+ex worth gear builds. After that the whole game looses all the value for me. When night falls

I don't mind having to use tactics to defeat a boss instead of just holding one button, but this kind of change is a good example of how _not_ to balance things.
A beam that does less damage initially that increases over time would be much more acceptable, giving you enough time to react as a melee character. And if you don't want to make it too easy for ranged characters, add far shot property to it. IGN: NNQQ, Sporkay, Rands_

well, the beam is a problem if you cant hide behind those pillars quickly (I can leap slam there pretty fast and have 40% hp left. I used to be able to block her arc, but I can't spell block this beam for some reason (i have 63% spell block with aegis, I haven't tried saffels frame, but 63% is enough to block some of it at least but it doesn't happen. I read somewhere that Fairgraves tricorne doesnt work there either.

I solo every boss without problem as melee, played Nemesis, entered the boss chamber, got destroyed by beam in 2 seconds (i was farthest possible, just near the doors fighting few mobs when beam hit me out of nowhere), 77% lightning resist, 4500 hp etc etc, Wicked One (Piety) can't harm me, but this one killed me in 2 seconds, maybe less, the only thing i could do was click on door and die after entering it.
GGG does really poor job at balancing bosses, especially after trying to "bring them inline" by boosting them with most ridicilous spells. A big fuck you from me to your balancing skills, and yes this is rage post. You can't do such a shit job considering you are running hard core leagues, like your incapability of repairing desynch is not enough, so you put this crap in aswell.
