Azmadi, The Faridun Prince is overtuned + Lightning Warp bug

It is at least a bit overtuned. Died to him the most of all bosses so far, and didn't manage to get him even below 50%. The three slash attack is hard to dodge.
And yes, please remove the RP at the start and slow walk after the first try. It's annoying that's all.

Skipping him for now to do the other interlude first.

this fight is insanely hard on arc sorc b/c there is no time to combo to do damage + dodge the one shots in this fight

1.3k life/1.2k es/max res


heavily overtuned for this class due to one shots
pls fix

Bump because Lightning Warp is unusable during the boss fight effectively bricking my build.

I think the misunderstanding here is that Im pretty sure the boss is deliberately designed to 1-2 shot you while you seam to think this is some kind of flaw.

When I did him all his big attacks would one shot me, but his attacks are fairly easy to avoid when youve seen them a couple of times.

Its a fairly hard boss with very good and fair mechanics, there is nothing wrong here.

For the campaign to be entertaining it needs to be allowed to have some bosses that are actually challenging, and for the boss fight to be challenging the boss needs to have attacks that can actually kill you.

One/Two shots are fine. It's the lack of telegraphing and the distance at which he can initiate his attacks. If he's offscreen, he can just come flying in and insta-pop you. He can get off-screen simply by executing any of his dash sequences (so it's not necessarily players running too far away).

It's the combination of "difficult to avoid" and "one shot" that's the problem.

An example of a difficult fight that is well done: Arbiter of Ash. Everything you need to do in that fight is well understood and telegraphed. You can learn the fight in 2 or 3 tries. Doesn't mean you can win in 3 tries, it means you understand what you need to do to win.

Good telegraphing in this fight:

* He makes six clones along the perimeter of a large circle all facing inward. Get out of the center or you'll die.

Bad telegraphing in this fight:

* Dash boomerang throws that have a final lunge at the end for big damage. You can't tell where the boss is in the sequence to know if the next dash is a boomerang throw or a lunge attack.

* Swords that appear in an arbitrary pattern in the air. At some point the boss will materialize and do a long range slam attack. You can't tell when he'll appear. When he does appear you have a tiny window to move laterally out of the "slam beam"

* Clones appear (but not the circle pattern, looking inward). At some point the clones disappear and he has a lunge triple-swing stike attack. This attack can stun lock you and kill you.

Those are really challenging to avoid because you really can't tell where to move to, or when to move/dodge. It's ok to keep this level of difficulty but the hit can't be one-shot.

Beat him the second try after realizing I have dodge after he reappears.

Of the 3 Lich feels like garbage but I am still leveling but hard stuck now...chaos does no ST damage...its utter garbage

Interesting that people are struggling. I guess my warrior is just super tanky or something (pure armour build and 44% block chance). I never took significant damage, never had to drink potion, and never died to him. Honestly, I don't even know the fight. Level 64 Warbringer (with Jade) onehand hammer + shield and the area level is 60 I believe.

I just stunned and hammer of the gods. He phase changed and I stunned and hammer of the gods again and he is dead. Maybe I was overgeared or something, but I guess either armour is good now, or I have too much dps that the boss never had a chance to do a big attack.

All fights are easy with incredible DPS. That's why you didn't see the one-shots.

I guarantee your armour was doing fok all. I posted the math earlier in this thread. Even with 10k armour, you would only get 33% physical damage reduction. His big hits are about 2k. If you have sufficient health, you're also able to survive the one-shots.

You can not see the mech when you are using explosive nades. The screen is filled with flames and you can not see him to know what he is about to do. I had to stop using oil grenade so i can kinda see what he is doing.


I think it took me about 20 tries to beat it.

GGG making stupid fights again.

It does sound like I skipped a lot of his mechanics. Off the top of my head, I had like 7-8k armour with 10 jade stack. Sounds like I would have been one-shot. When I rerun with a different character, maybe I'll experience what people are talking about.
