Invasion Bosses

I've only fought about 6 of them so far and only one of the fights was boring.
(the flicker strike spider.... Basically copy paste of Nemesis unless I'm missing something)

The summoner bosses are really nasty.... The second form merviel one, Duchess?, zerg + soul eater? I will pass for now. The ghost pirate one too, Doorlac? is also a pain in the ass.

Looking forward to the rest and thank you for adding even more overpowering-facecheck-me-and-die type monsters. I am serious too. If you have to think of how to kill a monster in a video game instead of hitting a key and watching a bar go down, the developers are doing something right.

Well played GGG, well played.

made marauder going as tanky as possible was in area 2 lvls below me fought the sand crab boss guy..... second form he detonate dead entire area of baby crabs he summoned that i killed and 1 shot me. No possible way to react or get out of the way.


Dumb.

Random spike damage for 10x your max life is NOT difficulty GGG.

I may play ambush =/

not really random spike damage.

That is corpse explosions

It is predictable

Sure its not something you would expect FIRST time you fight it, but neither is dominus's blood rain.

Or piety's ice form

Or vaal lightning

Deal with it

Most of those I encountered were cool (cycloning voidbearer, lol! & Douchess - awesome fight), but some were really nasty - spike damage! Some snake type, went from full globe to 10% in a blink. Almost died to that elemental monkey thing too...

Lol, Piety's Ice Form/Vaal Lightning don't do near the amount of damage that CE's do. Tons of people died to Bladeback Guardian because they didn't know that he also casts 100 Vaal Fireballs at the same time when you try to dodge Ice Lance, and there's no hint of it other than dying to it.

Yeah, I'm finding a lot of these bosses relying on cheap gimmicks to sucker-punch the hardcore players. Once you know what their cheap ploy is, they go back to just being pathetic speed bumps.

Also, personal preference here, but one small, weird pack in every zone doesn't strike me as the way to do Invasion. It really should be on a much larger scale, but rarer.

sounds reasonable ;) GGG said, they'll aim to kill chars. Seems they found an effective way for it ^^

Strongboxes offer a lot of fun - I just start to not miss the gone big chests, even for the single hour I played the new league :D

Hi,
I am enjoying killing bosses as well! And I also met that white spider which just immediately flicker strike to me when I try to kite him but on close range It doesn't seem to be doing anything.

Anyway awesome stuff!
