Kole (Brutus bro :O) damage?

Does anyone know how much damage deals Koel with his punch (Ground slam skill) on Merciless difficulty? I heard a lot of people were 1shoted by him, so I'm a bit curious about his damage.
Thnx for reply!

Every time I meet him with my marauder it does around 3.5k damage with 4k armour and 55% damage reduction, I don't know if it can crit. Normal merciless Brutus damage is much lower.

My block/incinerate Scion usually blocks it, but if it hits I lose about 2/3 of my 2,600 life.

he crits often...Armor doesn't do much against his regular hit let alone his crit. But he is lower level now than he was before game release so he doesn't hit as bad as he used to.

Another issue with him is desync. He hits you and on your end you run away and heal, on the server you were stunned... so while the server is saying that he killed you in two back to back hits while you were stunned, on your end you just dropped dead in one hit from full (after healing from first hit).




And on my character he's critically hit me for what I want to say was around 3.5-5k through various armor amounts at times. If I'm not stun immune its pretty much always going to cause a long enough stun to get killed in 2 shots.

Enfeeble, it does wonders on big hitters.

Blind, if you can work it in, will make it really hard for him to hit you.

Blind + Enfeeble = "I think Kole just scratched me" maybe once during the encounter.

FYI : damage reduction is calculated from incoming damage, 4k armour provides basically no reduction against a 3.5~4k dmg hit.
Check the wiki for more information about how it works if you are interested.

Indeed. Same trick works with merciless Dominus and many map bosses.
