Malachai
|
Ok so WTF is the deal with this boss.
I zone in and my FPS drop from 60FPS to 2FPS. WTF is that shit. second the map size needs to be increased by 100% Add spawn needs to be reduced by at least 50% I can not out run his AOEs. |

yeah it's a bit much. dmg wise it's fine, but you need a chance to get away.
I'm having the same problem with maligaro. Can't really kite him, the damage is constant The Hyperbomber for 2.6: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1879383

I agree the damage is fine. but the fact that the lag and FPS issues are only in this little tinny fucking zone is insain.

I haven't fought the post-nerf Malachai but I'm about to reach him on Cruel. Normal Malachai was absolute BS pre-nerf, anyway. We'll see!

Same here, damage is "fine", once you deal with fight mechanics you can beat him but the huge FPS drops made me sh*t in my pants more than a time.
A "deterministic" way to waste your time

No FPS issues in here but Malachai zones should be increased, his aoe size doesnt leave many chances to run away..
Same time i always running out of pots, No trash mobs spawn to refill them.. Hell is empty and all the devils are here. Последняя редакция: BNegetive#0585. Время: 14 июл. 2015 г., 13:21:06

sorry about the necro ;)
First attempt at Malachai today, standard league, normal difficulty. I've also experienced a nasty FPS drop and a lag spike in Malachai's Black Heart area. The game slowed down considerably and all movements in the area were rather laggy. On an additional note, there appears to be an issue with summoned minions. Using SRS supported with Spell Echo caused the game to lag even worse. One more thing seems to affect the pure summoner builds. The summoned minions of all kinds (zombies, skeletons, spectres, skulls from SRS and a golem) don't seem to correctly handle Malachai's battle mechanic. Minions seem to be stuck on Malachai without attacking the open hearts for a while. |

Trying to play SRS in the Malachai fight is probably an absolute shitfest. You should be able to direct your zombies and spectres at the hearts if you cast your own spells at them, though. No guarantees. I actually haven't tried to get a summoner through the Malachai fight yet.
That said, Merciless Malachai is an obnoxious shitshow. He's not unkillable by any means, but he's a pure gearcheck and not at all mechanical. What's worse is that his gearcheck is a pure armor gearcheck, if you're an Evasion or whatever then you're just SOL. He's got 3 separate attacks on Merciless difficulty that attack basically the entire arena simultaneously, so you can either try to dodge everything forever and never attack (protip: doesn't work), or you can try and facetank the 30% crit potato sacks that sometimes also pseudo-shotgun and instagib you from 8k life. Combine that with his ridiculous life pool and the fact that you have to whittle it down from full 5 times before he actually dies... No, worst boss design ever. |

" For a ranged toon his fight is actually very mechanical. A decent hit point pool helps against mistakes but you can get away with a smaller one if you don't make mistakes. If you're melee you should have a good amount of armour (right now melee evasion is in a crappy spot tbh) or endurance charges at least. Didn't have problems killing malachai at around lvl 81 as an acro caster with no armour, little evasion(maybe 2k?) and not a whole ton of dps. |

" Mechanical, or abusable? Just because Flame Totem does OK in the fight doesn't mean the fight is generally acceptable. |
