man i love devourer QQ threads. my current main scion has barely 4.7k hp at lvl 93 with almost zero armor, no block, evasion or es and she runs arctic armor only. i cant recall when was the last time i got killed by devourers (yh some moments were close but not close enough). when there is a map with -50% to hp/mana regen i run without arctic armor at all and, if there are devourers, im always ready to pop quicksilver flask when they emerge, keep my distance for them to go back to the ground and in meantime i just cast srs like 5 times, and keep moving; they are dead in like 2 seconds. if you see a devourer poping up keep moving and dont stop - thats all. and avoid hugging the wall because them you get surrounded. less qq more pew pew

I applaud you and your magnifficent level 93 character.
Did you even read any of the posts above? you are describing a totaly different
scenario than what is being discussed.There is no time to pop ANY flasks or
do any kind of evasive movements,one second you are running,the next you areDEAD.
Because this didnt happen to you,dont mean the problem is nonexistent.

I can see why you've died ~10 times only during level 93

To avoid the issue: More hp, actually all you can possibly get and some defensive solution(s) on top of it like: CWDT with immortal call + enduring cry, Grace with ondars guile, MoM + EB, etc.

And remember guys, armor helps you least when you need it most ;)


They could get a bit tuned down in damage for few seconds when showing off or let you pass through their bodies or maybe widening the area they spawn so it not only reduce the burst damage but reduce desyncing in lethal scenario. After the surprise buttsex situation I think their current damage scaling is ok

When devourers pop up, there is enough of a delay to stop them melee attacking you by moving out the way.
