Shock and Horror NERF PLX?
|
Saffell's isn't to block anything, it's to raise your max lightening resist. Combine with some topaz flasks, purity of lightening aura, and elemental adaptation if you're on the left side of the passive tree, and you can easily stand in the beam through the whole fight.

I dunno...I don't think the boss is that overtuned, her lightning is weaker than Piety's lightning (Temple Map) so I was fine with 75% resist and without LR flasks, beam has to be LoS and you need to keep moving to avoid warping totems. The opening for DPS is as soon as the beam go away, rinse and repeat for a couple of minutes and she's dead...2h melee char with 4.4k HP (at the time) here... Obviously I died the first time because I had no idea we had to LoS but after that, fight was rather easy.

Personally, I don't find Shock and Horror bad at all.
The lightning warp totems...they are made of pure suck - I'll burst Shock and Horror down as fast as possible (beam's easy to facetank with just a topaz flask in my experience), then run out of the room for a minute so the totems disappear. >_> Shock and Horror is basically a much less difficult boss once you stop being scared of the boss...and start being scared of the totems. :P |

Shows the mentality of players nowadays.
Couldn't kill something straight away. Doesn't even understand what is happening, what is killing him. -> "Nerf plx" Shock and horror is very doable as a melee without any fancy pieces of gear. (Max light resi, decent dps, 2x Topaz Flask should be enough). - Hit her till the beam shows up, if possible don't stand in shocked ground. - Beam -> Pop Topaz Flask, hide behind pillar (use Leap Slam or w/e), kill totems here while out of line of sight of the boss, if you can't handle 'em. - Repeat, she doesn't have all that much life. Then again, if you have the gear, just that video linked shows how much of a joke the boss is. " |

Last time i did this boss there was a pillar down there i stood behind when the boss used the laser attack. Is that gone now or what? Haven't played for a while.
I've never had any problems with this boss. I even did double boss and all kinds of mods. I think people build too weak charachters. Glass cannons all over the place. On the other hand i have never got a chance to try it with my culler because this boss seems to be a skip in all parties. Not sure how tough it would be with a weaker charachter by design.

Nemesis saffels+topaz, 90% resist 6k hp 3.5% regen, hp melted down to 500 in 3 seconds.
This is the hardest boss ever. There are 3 types of bosses(with examples): Casual - necropolis merveil Challenging - Residence/Palace dominus Killers (aka no more hardcore leagues for you son) - Shock and Horror Shock and Horror is overpowered because it is ment to kill cocky players who think they can own "ez low lvl map" boss |

" I'm sry but putting poor Shock and Horror as harder than Palace who nobody does in HC is... lmao |
|
" This is awesome. |

I usually cheese this boss offscreen with my split arrow/frenzy duelist.even without faster projectiles you slowly move up to a sweet spot and spam arrows.it usually dies before it even moves around to attack
