It's safe if you printscreen. I don't even know how you take an actual snapshot.

Cropped close up pictures of each boss would go perfectly with this thread, not that it needs it, but just to add overall value to the thread. Great thread though, I like your initiative.

Edit: My mistake you have started to add some of the boss pictures in already, still if their cropped and more clear it would make a great addition. Keep up the great work, appreciate the thread.

I maybe edit this thread after the new patch, since now things have changed it is out of date.

I also consider adding pictures, I can also cut them to a reasonable size, was just lazy so far :P

but it will freeze screen for 1-2 seconds even with SSD

Yeah that was my only concern, maybe if others could pitch in and help, it wouldn't be such a task for KenshiD. I might try and snap the odd one, as it is very risky.

No no you are fine KenshiD, haven't been lazy at all, the vital information was there might have to be reevaluated now that the patch has hit, was just an added bonus really. If I did grab the odd few pics, would you prefer me to crop it, or should I just link the whole picture and let you do it?

Just incase you wanted them all a certain size or something.

Atziri‘s Pride

It has some kind of berserker mode. If u take 70% of his health then he starts to do insane lightning warp spam and u cant escape from him to kite his attacks + regen hp. He is a threat. I almost died to him on merciless. C rank is not a good rating.

Bladeback Guardian


Lets just not be noob. He's rather easy if you dont stay in one place. Dont go near him. You can tank his icespears 2-3 times even without capped resists. He's passive invasion, he wont chase you. If you dont fight him in small room then you dont need to worry about. Of course melee cant kill him because of fire nova. Although melee cant kill almost anything in invasion.

Blood Morpher & Blood Stasis

These guys are very dangerous. Resists are worthless cause they curse you lowering resists. With 75% resists fire monkey hit me for 2k dmg in chamber of sins on cruel. They slow u down too... If u can keep them on distance and separate then its killable. Distance I mean really far away... one desync and u are probably dead.

Bladetooth

One of the easiest invasions.

Grath

One of the easiest invasions.

Jikeji

Cap resists hit and run. Passive invasion. Rather easy.

Mother of the Swarm


If she's easy then why rate B? On of the easiest invasions.


Ossecati, Boneshaper


I think he does not desync anymore. Killed him lot of times without any problems. Very slow, easy target for ranged characters.

Perquil the Lucky


Takes lot of time but you can dodge his storm calls rather ewasy. No need to log out.

Rancor

Very hard on merciless.

Rima, Deep Temptress


People are overreacting to her. Shes slow and very stupid. If you dont go close to her then nothing to worry about. Put decoy totem and spam ranged spells spells.

Shivershell


Very easy if you know that he can cast detonate dead on all corpses in area killing you. He does it only once and only in second form. Dont put let on corpses and you are safe. Easy on all levels.

Spinesnap

One of the hardest invasions on merciless.

Strangledrift


Easy to dodge his skills. On merciless his balls of lightning can take you 1,5k hp or more with capped resists. Still he's not a threat. I would say C.

The Book Burner


are you kiddink? One of the easiest invasions...

The Sunburst Queen


She can make desyncs and lag. Watch out.

Thornrunner


B. Killed him even with melee on merciless. If you put down his sheild then he takes solid amount of damage and die fast. Flask with remove bleeding makes this fight even more easier.


Wiraq, the Impaler


Super misleading description of him dude. He has berserker mode at 30% hp. He can kill you instantly after that. Evasion characters can kill him. Others should skip.

Wiraqucha, Ancient Guardian


One of the hardest boss in the game. What the actually fuck? MEDIUM? REALLY?:D

Some of my experiences differ from the ones on this thread. These are mostly based on low level maps (66 & 67).

Shadow of Vengeance: Fought him twice I think. Both times I mostly just stood at medium range Spectral Throwing him and killing the summoned weapons while doing that. Doesn't seem that hard at least if you have an attack like ST that deals decent damage to boss and weapons at the same time.

Rancor: In my opinion one of the easiest bosses. I have -60 chaos resist and I just face tank him every time with Double Strike. My health globe practically doesn't move at all during the fight. I don't have Resolute Technique either.

Sheaq, Maker of Floods: In open area with ranged attack he's really easy. So much time between the fireball casts that he dies in no time. In tight corridors I'd surely skip though.

Konu, Maker of Wind: Haven't fought him on maps yet but did the corrupt area on Ledge few times in Merciless. Somewhat dangerous but if you can fight him alone it's moderately safe to melee him until he casts Molten Shell, then kite until Molten Shell times out, rinse and repeat (should be easier to time now as the patch increased the amount of damage required to blow Molten Shell on higher difficulties).

Blood Morpher & Blood Stasis: I think these guys are tough as well. Almost ripped to them on Imperial Garden with capped resists. Definitely more dangerous than the four mentioned above.

I'll give some of mine feedback based on 66-70 maps as pure melee character in invasion (lvl 78 atm) with these stats:

76/76/76/-60 res
12k armor
40% block
5300 hp
620 life regen per second

Atziri's pride

He's soo easy with capped lighning res and some armor. only be careful when he's below 30% as he will go erserk mode, nearly doubling damage

Rating: B

Bladeback guardian

He's very easy even in merciless with capped fire res. His fire nova will not deal enough damage to kill you in under 1 sec. That nova deals a little more damage than a lmp voidbearer.

Rating: B

C'haska, maker of rain

Armor, armor and armor. With 12k armor she can be facetanked until berserk mode if no extra damage mods. When she goes berserk, pop a granite flask and finish her. I really don't know why she's feared by many. I just took her down at level 75 with 10k armor with zero problems. Block helps too

Rating: A

Cintiq, the inescapable

Believe me or not, i facetank him, even with extra damage maps (found in 68 maps with extra fire dmg).

I encoutered him in coward's trial second room (lol) for the first time and i was just "nopenopenope i gtfo" but then i decided to yolo and face him with 12k armor and -60% chaos res. i literally FACETANKED him, never took more than 2k health. If you have decent amount of armor and block he's extremely easy even with -60% chaos res. Also smoke mine and blind will render him almost harmless. His EK with enough armor deals close to no damage (300-400 to me at most) I was surprised after the fight in all honest

Rating: A

Evocata Apocalyptica

Ok, this is terrible. I don't skip chaska and cintiq but i skip her. A single vaal fireball totem under your ass and you're dead. In melee range those totems are also not easy to avoid

Rating: X

Rancor

Soooo easy, even with -60% chaos res he deals low amounts of damage. Life leech and enough armor is enough to facetank him

Wiraq, the impaler

I facetank him no problems. But he becomes dangerous when berserks. Even with high armor he can deal much damage. A granite flask while he's berserking is a must

biggest threat is FPS drop when fireball totem starts spinning
if you have room to run in circles she is quite manageable

and yeah, kill totems fast

Indeed, my fps drops to 15-20, fight is not manageable, i just skip her. Lucky my life regene is high enough to get almost no damage while escaping from her

Well,

1.1.2 Invasion boss balancing is... interesting. That big red goatman that spawns vaal fireball totems now casts storm call as well. What a tedious battle that was! Hit, run, run, run, his ES is back up repeat, repeat repeat. And he drops 3 blue names and a portal scroll.. yay! What joy!!

Not sure if this is the place to respond to the new rogue changes, but I just met two rogues in the crypt. The scion in full angel armor throwing swords was fine. But, the witch in the basement was beyond stupid. she was spamming Vaal summon skeletons. Also, regular summon skeletons (statues), zombies, skulls, and exploding corpses. I could barely move because my screen was filling up with undead at an insane rate. Not too sure how she was summoning giant skeletons.. but she did that too. I was lucky to make it through a portal and escape!

Maybe the giant skeletons were spectres? They seemed extra large O_o
