Ziziran posted his fight with Shaper. He had some shitty rare items (6k hp, 4k ES), and he could walk through that "omfg so broken op shit laser", so guy from 1st video had 0 defence at all.
As long as you have dmg and you can kill Shaper before he spawns 10+ void zone, the fight is easier that Malachai Core. |

Honestly though, i really dont even care...the community has done this to themselves. They have repeatedly allowed the 1% to ask for more content and have repeatedly asked for the best builds to be nerfed. Well here we go boys time to death zerg the shapper fight. GL hardcore bois you will need it.
I hope they dont nerf it even a fraction. ProbablyGettingNerfed - L100 Occultist Vinktarded - L100 Pathfinder GoogleDiversityHire - L100 Necromancer 3.13 was the pinnacle of PoE. IVYS+1 Gang 4 Life. Последняя редакция: TheAshmaker#5078. Время: 6 сент. 2016 г., 21:38:04

Yeah Ziz's video shows that mutigation helps a lot but you still need to dodge everything except this balls that spawn void circles, or you will get hit for at least 4k per second. And Void Slam will kill you regardless. This fight requires you to constantly dodge stuff - it's mechanically challenging.
Life based builds are screwed here for good. So yeah - enjoy your 5% more damage buffed melee boys. Yeah, I also hope they won't nerf it a single bit. It's gonna be great to wtch EHC streamers ripping trying to kill him. :P If anyone from top rank will dare to try him of course. xD Последняя редакция: SunL4D2#6224. Время: 6 сент. 2016 г., 22:00:32

the pretty big hits all seem avoidable.
enough with the nerfs already, jesus, this game is getting easier and easier. its always same shit. People ask for harder content then they baw that they cant AFK AT ENDGAME BOSSES. Honestly, mechanically speaking this fight looks easier than atziri. There's more space to avoid things and as long as you dont run into telegraphed attacks or set the degen pools in a very shitty way you should be ok. Oblivious

" What? Aren't u need to only dodge Flameblast during Atziri's fight and even then you can take it? (And if you care about reflect - control who you attack during Clone phase) Here you need to dodge everything during constant spam of attacks and should navigate through / deal with circles of void. And if you do one mistake - anything can kill you during Shaper fight. It sure seems more annoying with Shaper's life pool + OP punishing attacks + need to travel map to reach next stage though.

" yes. and looking at it again I take back what I said about the laser: it DOES NOT have sufficient telegraph. you were dodging it simply by constantly running around, but Shaper's animation of casting it is a split-second, so if you were standing still and only moved when you saw it coming - you probably would not have dodged it in time. also - unlike Vaal Oversoul switching to its fork arm - he has no "about to use laser" signs. the teleport was the real kicker though. every time you died to it, my reaction was "how the fk was he supposed to dodge that, aside from sheer luck?". so fast. so un-telegraphed. so much bs. I hate Malachai's version, but at least you still have time to move when you see him appear near you. Shaper already blows you up at that point.

" these telegraph problems occured in act 4 aswell. piety would just laser at any random place. now it is much more telegraphed. i have no problem with needing to dodge 1000 different things, and needing to have very good build/gear. this is the biggest boss ever. it should be that way. the only problem is the telegraphs. |

I don't worry. By the time It will take me to get there in new leagues, it will be properly bug-fixed & balanced :)

" What. the. hell? Did you even watched any Shaper fight? Both attacks (laser and tp-slam) are easy to spot. Before he cast laser, he raise his hands, you have like 1 second (or even more) to dodge it. Before he use slam, he become "purple", so you know that you have to move, because he will tp to you and use slam. Watch Ziziran fight, he (witch friend) spotted EVERY single use of laser and slam. Heck, they even had time to scream laser/slam 5 times before Shaper used it (so yeah, enough time to dodge it even when someone say you to dodge it) |
