ch'aska the rain maker

Normal trash mobs: Can't outdamage my regen.
Normal Dominus: Health barely moved.
Normal Ch'aska the Rain Maker. Nearly instagibs me.

I wonder, does she do 10x as much damage as dominus? More?

I managed to barely beat her without dying on my Marauder when I first did normal archives, but she's is ridiculously powerful even in comparison to other Vaal bosses I've fought.

My Barrage Duelist actually died to her. 1000+ HP, higher armor than my marauder, 3 endurance charges, Granite Flask of Iron Skin, Vaal Molten Shell, Unwavering Stance, Blood Magic, 2.5 APS barrage with tons of LGoH... Yeah, I went all in on her, and she still won. This is, of course, without any map mods that would have increased her damage. I can't imagine how overpowered she would be with extra damage map mods or in Cruel or Merciless.

So I just skip her from now on. It's not like I need my 20th Vaal Detonate Dead anyway. After coming across Thornrunner, a boss apparently designed to only be killable by like 2 builds, I may just avoid the side areas entirely (or rather, kill everything in the side area, but leave the boss).

Oh, you lost a level ? Poor you. I lost my char to her.

technically you didn't lose your character, so stop making things up. This game is no where near as hardcore as it pretends to be. If it was a real hardcore game then there would be no shared stash and when you died you lost everything including the character.


Please play hardcore league before talking about hardcore league. Because people playing hardcore feel like they lost char if it goes to dumpster league.


Yeah, because Hardcore won't D2JSP their stuff on 'dumpster league' and then recuperate within a few days on HC, right? Not so HC, when you forget to alt-f4....
Still in the alpha stage, but at least build diversity isn't an issue: https://wolcengame.com/home/

Dunno I killed her twice on EK witch once in normal a3 and once in cruel a3. Died 1-2 times the first time but that was because its a new league nd I had crap gear on. But this cud be bceause I used hit and run with EK and temp-chained her.

Its hard to facetank her though, gotta avoid her RoA attack.

how did I know the first comment was going to be a scrubcore shaming. Run library a bunch till you get Ch'aska then come talk to me.


K, I killed her, in Invasion.

My suggestion is less time spent whining, more time spent learning to play.

Congrats, not to discredit you for your achievement but not everyone is a Searing Bond user with what looks like a Searing Touch and Arctic Armor.
When they call her the rain maker, what they are referring to is the tears of countless players raining down on these forums

Congrats. You placed a totem and ran around until she died. I don't know how you managed.

Some people are suffering from the strange notion that it's boring to play with the FOTM skill and are doing crazy stuff like playing a Marauder who actually uses Marauder skills and so on.

About the boss itself, it's definitely killable, but it hits so hard that I don't think it's worth the risk in Invasion.

You have to be realistic about these things.

I found this "rain in your face" at merciless. I have 50% mitigation, 3500hp. Guess what? 3200 hp with one shot. Very balanced. Also this boss can teleport(lag or desync but sometimes it's just appeared in my face) ;]

I met her in Normal with a stupidly fat Marauder who facetanked Dominus without flasking (save for de-bleed) shortly afterwards. Her damage seemed manageable with Molten Shell on, but then the Rain of (Tears) Arrows hit, my Molten Shell exploded immediately, she hit me once more and I almost RIPped.

After that encounter, I just stopped entereing corrupted areas.

50% mitigation means nothing here, just char screen approximation vs normal mob attack of your same level.
