Path of Exile 1 Gameplay Help and Discussion - Olmec's Sanctum...Really?? - Forum

" but man I miss the days when a unique map was ... you know, something unique. and something doable with "meh" gear and a char roughly in that level range - if using proper tactics - plus some bonus unique music and cool and interesting mechanics. Unique maps vary in levels and difficulty. Having some be a big challenge is a nice change of pace. The latest unique map is not a particularly difficult one and has nice design(mao reef map). Olmec's is one of the best designed in my opinion. Last edited by kasub#2910 on May 24, 2014, 4:11:18 AM	Posted by kasub#2910 on May 24, 2014, 4:10:36 AM Quote this Post

I did not say that it is not hard,i just said it is not as hard as other 76-78 bossses with nasty mods(such as -res+other crap).All these bosses are 85% gear check and maybe 15%skill(or interent connection).The responses aimed against his claim that melee cannot solo that boss(despite gear),which simply is not true. https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/417287 - Poutsos Flicker Nuke Shadow	Posted by Poutsos#0458 on May 24, 2014, 8:12:38 AM Quote this Post
Got this map as Zana's daily mission. Soloed quite easily regardless of my crapy defences (4.3k life, no block), average DPS (~20k) and cheap gear (5-6 EX in total). Died once (cold totem got me :)). Btw Olmec was a joke - killed him in 3-4 sec...	Posted by Sasyska#0568 on May 6, 2015, 12:10:11 PM Quote this Post
Does RF count as melee? My RF character finds the map pretty easy.	Posted by codetaku#0468 on May 6, 2015, 12:49:10 PM On Probation Quote this Post
