New rogue exile MAGNUS STONETHORN

I don't mind skipping the content. If I meet him I just run, regardless. Problem is many times I don't, he one-shoot me from off screen. I am meeting him fairly often, enough to halt my progress in tracks (i'm lvl 85), almost all the time I'm one-shooted off screen with my ES about 6000 (i'm CI summoner with dual totem) so I don't have even opportunity to see my doom coming.

Now I skip completely the rouge exiles mods on maps but still he is bound to appear on few ruining few days of progress.

I was really looking forward to finally ding lvl 86 but with this guy around this is impossible.

Don't get me wrong I like the difficulty of progressing, it is slow and painful so every level I gain is a small victory because of all things invested, currency (to roll or buy maps), gear and countless hours, but in this case it is just halted.

It is just frustrating to see so many hours of game play lost repeatedly, so much that i'm thinking giving up the game altogether.

It was fun but now it is just a Sisyphus kinda progress and i'm close to be out.

Let's see!?
once again everyone is Q_Q'ing and none even noticed that he has attack patterns, you dont even need ruby flask(s) for him unless you are slow with pressing buttons or dont have a decent movement skill (you should. if you dont, its all on you then). dont nerf new exiles damn it, they are totally fine. let me enlighten you a bit and youll steamroll him next time you encounter him just like i do now.

avoid his first flameblast unless you can take lots of punishment and/or you have 3+ attacks per second linked to life leech. first flameblast will hurt a lot of people but the second is nothing. third one deals only a bit more damage than the second one. this is a very quality trolling from ggg since people get blown by first flameblast and if they survive it, they start to panick, run away from him, chances are high he will cast a couple of his weak flameblasts while you are on the run because he casts them rather fast - thats why they dont hurt that much. so when you regen hp and attempt again, he will do massive damage to you again and the roflcopter circle shall continue

Yeah, it's low level. Your witch is 91 and uses saffells. That is 12 levels above the highest map. I would hope she has no problems with flameblast.

as a matter of fact, i still sometimes play on my hc only account. my generic 2h st scion has no probs with him either at level 84 in 77 map with +cold damage

That would not be a problem if i could see it coming. The thing is I'm dead before I see the Exile.

Usually I'm off-screen killed.

You do realize that + cold damage has zero effect on his searing bond or flameblast because they are spells? Vulnerability would greatly buff his searing bond and any ignite and monster damage or cast speed his flameblast.

Extra damage as cold helps his flameblast, it's added to all hits including spells, however it does nothing for searing bond, it's damage over time

If Neonspyder is to be trusted in this matter, then it doesn't work on spells: http://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/1dldrj

Read zeratos' (Lyralei) post on the bottom. That post is almost a year old but I'm fairly sure there have been no changes in how that particular mod works.

I wasn't reaaaaaaaaally in danger of dying , I popped a ruby... But only because I killed him so fast lol... Seriously.... OP..
