Instant death in Labyrinth Map (72) bossroom

Just made this variant of Boardroom Suggestion today, already getting lots of opportunities to show it off :D

Ha, could even be a cartoony version of Chris, and the guy on the right looks like a cartoony Russell. ^_^

@Topic: It was the "chaos EK" volley what killed you, a chaos/physical damage spell. And that's exactly the problem when your defense is evasion, doesn't do anything against spells. Spellblock works, not for archers though. :\

I ran a labyrinth map today (but forgot what the mods were on it),
and I survived pretty easily.

I have enduring cry/enfeeble linked to a level 1 CODT and quality immortal call/qulity inc. duration on a higher level (can't remember, I think 7?) CODT; on top of that w/ IR & Unwavering Stance, playing a dual claw DS-melee splash build w/ vaal pact. The leech on claws + vaal pact let me leech the damage back as fast as it hurt me.

Most piss-off thing about this boss w/ my build tho was hitting the devourers with DS, b/c it functions as my single-target skill too; I'd just end up killing the devourers on accident, damaging the boss only to have him eat the life back
I just held down my right mouse button until I got lucky & it eventually moved away from the devourers and the devourers stayed where they were.

As an evasion character physical spells are your biggest weakness. It's a rapid fire EK which is part chaos and part physical so you're taking the full physical damage and the augmented chaos damage.

With some armor the physical part is at least heavily reduced.

Oh, ithought it was the standart rapid fire attack, it being a spell explains a lot.
Kinda sucks to get insta killed like that with 5k life, wont fight that guy again with an evasion charckter and negativ chaos res.

I did this map for the first time today, have 6.1k ES CI, and got destroyed by this boss in a second flat, had some nasty mods on it like -max res and 90 something light damage(but as you said its a spell and the +dmg mods only apply to attacks right?), cleared the map fine but once I hit the boss.............wow

Don't think it's been mentioned, but from personal experience he only uses the Chaos EK attack once when he first sees you, so if you survive it it gets easier after that.

I've never had a problem with him but I'm CI, first time was a surprise though cause it ate 80% of my ES (only around 4k), now I always switch to Rathpith for the spell block and extra ES, and most of the time it doesn't do much, I just rush in and Infernal Blow him to death.

Damage spike is ridiculous. I've inspected the damage, boss use to hit me for 4-4.5k with 8k armor. 5k hp without any armor = instagib. It's funny when you enter the room, make two steps forth and he greets you with 70-80% of your HP pool gone in a second.
BTW I've tried him with same amount of AR, but equipped with chaos gear, there's no much difference in damage dealt. It appears he does mainly phys.

Yeah is that initial chaos burst. It's a oneshot thing for my pure eva char too, no questions asked.

The trick is to distract the boss (throw him a totem) until you close in, as he will only spray you if you are in range.

Charge the boss and facetank him ignoring everything else. But its a pure lottery - the boss might not use the attack, or you'll die even before seeing him. "ballance"

Such defense. Very evasion.

(sorry, couldn't resist)
