Just like all the other sources of damage in the game that can kill you, you have to LEARN to avoid them. Once you do, they're not even an issue. Knowledgeable players can face their foes without fear of taking damage. Learn the fights. You'll be fine.

Shilling for GGG as always huh Shags.

hahaha xD as if u can dodge every single hit u get trown at you :P
and obviously if u don't get hit it's not an issue xd

No let you SC players suffer like we are suffering in HC!

I'll be honest I was defending the fun clusterfuck that Betrayal is, until I hit T8+ maps...

I fucking hate it, no one with insane life, res, armour, endurance charges should be dying to white no name mobs that appear from Syndicate. I can typically kill most generals but when it Anus and those random flicker strike assassins... jesus. First death was to Anus's ranged teleporting Bonespire crap, second to his white minions. I know those Ziz feels now.

I play HC. Didnt make it to maps yet this league... .__. xD

Last char died at like 55 with 3k life, 2k es EB MoM when i entered one of the labratorys, and two mobs with damage auras and a master instakilled me faster than a human can react. Bit unlucky with the auras though, but still.

New strategy. Avoid all masters at all cost. Reset instance if they portal in. Going way better so far. Might try them on later when im totaly twinked out, but unless you have great gear and a min maxed leveling tree they are way too risky.

Yeah everyone finds it OK until they get them ranked up and then get someone like Janus in an Intervention. Janus at rank 3 is instant RIP even in the campaign.

So people thinking it OK maybe have RNG on their sides for now. A lot depends which members are ranked up and where they are placed.

I'm also going to level up another character tonight (3rd of the league). Will just avoid them until I finish the campaign and I'm geared up for maps in the late 60's.

You hated the old masters for their annoying missions. How do you like them now? :D

Still hate all the old masters except Zana (which GGG kept in) but that's no reason GGG has to make the new syndicate uber one-shot us all. With this it's very easy to think that GGG doesn't do play testing and balancing before releasing new expansions. No tin foil hat required here.

Agreed!

Damage of the Syndicate is WAY to high.

It is NOT fun to die in every fricking single map with a fricking syndicate portal which you CANT skip because that fricking a§$&le follows you through the whole map!

Shags....just stop talking about things you dont understand.
You can´t avoid unavoidable damage. Period.
Talking about portals which appear right behind you, follow you through the whole map and eventually one shot you.
Still sane, GGG?

I don't really think they need to reduce the damage. I'm not going to say get good or anything as I have gotten killed by them before too, but I think one of the most important things is how you are ranking them.

I can see a problem if you are getting one-shot from maybe a rank 2 or 3 syndicate member, but rank 1 or no rank characters are easily face-tankable. I face-tank multiple syndicate members if they are rank 1 or lower. Even rank 2 and even 3 at times if I am lucky to not get one-shot and leech fast enough before they can kill me. This is using a melee character too meaning I have to meet them face to face every time.

Sometimes luring them away from their base can make it easier too because there is usually a crap ton of minions that spawn with them and/or other syndicate members are there too. As soon as I started making sure people were just rank 1 or lower, I never died from them ever again. A few rank 2 or 3's won't hurt either. It is when you have multiple rank 2's and 3's is where the problem lies. My Shadow was using leveling gear to get to 70 and I never died from the syndicate after utilizing the tips I said.
