Priest of the sun - instant death ray

Monster "Priest of the sun" spawns in most of my maps and burns me severely from offscreen without any counter. His beam just lock and burns, and there is nothing can be done. 3k life and 82 fire res - he kills me in 2-3 seconds.

Please nerf.

5.6k effective, 600 mana regen, spamming instant pots. 4k mana 1.6 life.

Dude if this guy spawns rare with one single damage mod, skip him. He will obliterate you.

bump, just got erased by one which was shooting a beam from 3x 1440p screens away

won't ask how this got past by the QA team (if any at all)

ye, very bad settings for this guy

1) Hide behind walls (assumes the map has walls)
2) Dance around him, his beam doesn't turn fast enough (assumes you're close enough)
3) Kill him before he attacks (assumes you have enough dps)
4) Dodgeroll back-n-forth perpendicular to the beam (won't protect you fully but helps a bit)

I thought i was the only one who encountered this mf in maps. Even tho i hide in terrain, this guy is pain in the ass if buffed.
Nerf this mf. He has done enough damage.

Time stop was the only way for me to get past these mobs if didn't spot them behind other mobs until they cast the beam. Even as white mob, dps is way overturned, and if it is loaded with AN mods, wisps, and essence, well...

Yeah I haven't died to these guys since I started mapping. I just focus these guys down before they have a chance to fire beam me, run out of range (I have a lot of MS) or start dodge rolling back and forth towards them until I’m close enough to strike. They definitely wrecked me before I got my end game gear though.

I think it’s fun having scary enemies like this. Similar feel to the lightning spirits in D2.

I dont understand how people die to these things.

They deal gradual damage and its not like its that much. Along with it being fire.


Melee or not these are just as easy to deal with as the drowning orbs from Hags.

Heh, D2 lightning spirits were certainly more interesting mob design than what poe/poe2 has. But they could only oneshot players if snowballed into a big group and fire all at once. Not 1 mob performing Sirus move.

It is true that sun priests aren't a big danger once you are fully geared out and scaled your mapping skill, but what is also true is they are way overtuned for underperforming characters, regardless of reason of said underperformance.
