ch'aska the rain maker

And this is one of the reasons why invasion is bad for evasion based builds, plenty of bear traps, and physical spells... Or those are attacks?

Evasion is bad for any hc league, its absolute shit and it doesnt belong in this game because of the nature of spike dmg, and the fact you get less hp and much less armor (ie dmg buffer and real mitigation) to get evasion, that and a game with spike dmg that can one shot makes evasion unsuited for this game. Or just softcore, that is.

I played evasion char in nemesis got 89lvl since there were not that many monsters with bear traps n shit like that, but in invasion is juts impossible, almost every mob has bear trap or physical spells.

i will not be participating any more in this league or this game Kappa


you mean: sadists.

they nerfed LL, mana leech, bit less hp. one-shot boss mechanics, invading bosses harder than act bosses with less reward.

"hope you have fun playing it as we did have fun making it"


We try GGG, we try.

What physical spells? Very few physical non attacks in the game, like evangelists and ek (which i believe is chaos or 50/50), only perpetus / reaver, excellis /caliga and 2 of the corrupted / invader bosses use bear traps. ' almost every monster' ... no, not at all.

You got lucky with 89 lvl evasion build then, let me ask ... was it melee or bow?

"SC vs HC" is for trolls, and putting it in a legitimate debate just to throw it off-topic? you know what that makes you guys.


When a guy loses his lollipop and goes into tantrum, you'd think that's just childish and he should man up a bit.

When a guy loses his car and goes into tantrum, you'd think it's much more justified.

See the difference? 10% xp is few hours, 80+ levels is few weeks.

That said, it's a game. Not real life, not real money. (In before, "lol, time is money. I use time to this game so.." -> you use the time to have fun, not to get the levels. If you don't have fun, why the fuck do you play?)



This might actually be the worst analogy I've ever read.

What compels you people to make a league circlejerk instead of discussing the topic? Some kind of complex you need affirming or justifying?

To OP, some bosses should be bypassed, if you're getting zone-killed, try rerolling the instance
For the 1st time in PoE, this expansion is introducing bosses whose attacks need to be avoided, not facetanked with an aegis aurora. I guess that's something most PoE players have not experienced before, that explains all the whining..
I have killed each single corrupted area boss in ambush (only the leap slam goat gave me some serious trouble), and some of them needs to be approached with caution and strategy rather than incessant button mashing.

I'm thinking it's cuz some players haven't gone to the dark side and accepted searing bond as their lord and salvation. I killed em all also, wouldn't try it as melee.

I've got to admit, I am not looking forward to encountering Ch'aska in the future.
If I'm lucky, I'll die to something else before I get close.

Now, I've only seen a snippet of Ch'aska in action but it seems like there might not be enough time between the first sight of her RoA and death to actually get out of the way.
(I realise the linked clip may not be a reasonable approximation of her abilities but as I mentioned, it's the only one I've seen.)

We're not talking Bladeback Guardian here, that incinerating nova's much easier to see and evade.

PS: Concerning the HC elitism, chances are good that it's the old 'vocal minority' problem.

No double curse temporal chain/enfeeble.
Iron Reflex without good armour value and no armour/evasion % passive.
Build without life leech - Searing bond is not optimal for end game.
No Freezing effect.
