The surprisingly obnoxious synergies of some map mods... /rant

So I've been playing for a while. Have a pretty capable level 83 build going on. Not too many problems with rare maps... thought I had a sense of what was dangerous and what wasn't.

And then I ran into a map with temp chains + monsters deal extra cold dmg mod. I've done maps that included that mod combo before, and while it's kind of dangerous, it's usually no problem for my fast build carrying a belt filled with heat flasks.

Butttttttttttttttt I guess I had never done that combo when plumeric chimerals (or whatever those squirrel things are called) rolled as an enemy on the map.

Let me tell you... being chilled + temp chained + under suppressing fire = obnoxious. My normally very fast build with +52 move speed and about 5 APS could not get close enough to the enemies to life leech in order to survive.

Needless to say I died. Several times.

ugh

What other map mods have you guys had that turned out to be surprisingly tough to do?

complaining about dying in softcore, wonderful. this definitely needed to be a thread topic

Ohhhhh yeah I'm sorry, I totally forgot about the alt+f4 keys on my keyboard.

Thank you for reminding me!

And your antagonistic post definitly needed to be posted.

Go back to alt-f4 league.

I dont get the point of this thread but even more i dont get that im so so "Super fantastic" HC retard that doesnt get the fact that some play for fun and not for alt+f4.

Ouch! That's a rough combo. Thank Dominus for Leap Slam + Stun :)

I will not, under any circumstance, do extra projectiles and demons, especially if it is like 50% life regen or some bad curse. The only thing that came really close to killing my duelist was a combination of voidbearers and retches with GMP. But yeah, I won't run temp chains, period. Never, just because I hate walking so slow and stuff.

I'll do -max and vulnerability, but temp chains and enfeeble I hated because it's just so slow.

But again, yeah, that sounds shitty. I've found so many crappy mod combos, and also mob/mod combos (sometimes the mobs and mods synergize perfectly to kill you). It's kind of fun figuring it out, but it's dangerous. After doing so many maps I kind of got a good feeling about what I didn't like doing. Another is 1/2 regen plus chaos damage. That sucks for a life/regen build, especially if Thena Moga pops out.

Edit: And of course you have all the obvious ones, like a million curses and -max and shit is obviously bad lol.

Thats a fine trolling there skinnay i salute you.
