Priest of the sun - instant death ray
u just roll dodge to avoid dmg (u can check on poe2db)
tbh as specters, they suck, they are slow af and so boring. I really hope they just change their abilities because being a laser pointer doing no dmg would be boring, but right now they are too OP. Make them use HP to use that ability so if they just spam it for 10seconds they just die, would be the only solution to make it fair imo |

Level 74 infernalist witch, with 50% resistance to fire, mana shield, energy shield and life totaling 5k+. To those that say that you can kill them quickly or it's just a matter of staying close, I was unlucky to come across two sun priests that decided to do their laser beam at the same time, from two sides of the battle. No matter how skilled you are and how good your character is, two of these on opposite sides of the screen will kill you. I thought I was just unlucky, which can happen in every ARPG, so I took on the 10% XP penalty and went to kill them, this second time ready to blast them as quick as possible, and before I could do anything, one started beaming me from a distance and the other did the same. I quit the map and vowed never to do maps again with sun priests, which have been quite annoying, but still doable for the most part for me, but today it was just too much. Losing 20% XP progress to a skill that drains your life and mana so quickly, with such distance, with no possibility to dodge, it's just nuts.

Your builds are all questionable if you die to these things.

" More like your thinking is questionable. Having a mob in a game that shoots a beam 3 screens away and you can't even see it is a wonderful game design for you I suppose? |

Died to them many times. Can not outrun their range and hiding behind a wall doesn't work most of the time their ray just goes through the wall. It depends on if it is a "hard" wall like in the crypt, you can go around a corner but if you encounter them in Savannah, no wall will save you. Dodge Rolling and running also doesn't help, maybe if you can run close to them fast enough, but if it's from off screen, you are dead. Nothing you can do.
lvl 90 Lich with 7k ES and 75% Fire Res, dying in 2-3 seconds from them. |

For some reason my experience with them has been very different:
