Fixing Hailrake

Easy solution, just switch on Hillock's turbo mode for OB normal start. That way he can kill at least half the 15,000 noobs first.

Only if you give hailrake the ability to summon arcane sentries.

Why don't you let him shout: "prepare to die, fool!!!" :D:D

TBH, I think Hailrake is very doable even with a brand new character.

Although Anubite's first sentence made me laugh, a visual or audio cue wouldn't be so bad. Otherwise I'd nerf his aggro range a weensy bit.

I think he's fine the way he is, aslong as he doesnt off-screen kill you. No need for warnings. I sure didnt mind getting killed by him on my first playthrough, got me even more excited for content to come.

I also think he is very easy when you get idea what he does. And that generally happens after he kills you first time in normal.

I'm kinda of this opinion, personally and frankly. Simply gave me more excitement in coming back to where he was, and proceeding to kill him multiple times. I'm kind of sad to see him nerfed, as the hailrake-noob issue is almost as iconic as the no-pants, whats-a-gcp and wtb-fusings, as far as this game goes.

Obviously he should scream "Freeze !"

"ICE to meet you!"

Hailrake isnt hard. Kite him till he burns all his mana. Clobber him down. Next.

I don't think anyone is arguing he's hard. Just that he's a sneaky bastard throwing icespears offscreen at you which if you get hit almost guarantee you'll die if you're at the intended level and wasn't lucky to find cold resist gear on the way or like 2 corals. One could say that it is fine, and in a way it is, but it feels pretty cheesy considering it's not hard, just a "surprise motherf-". Reducing his cast range would be a simple easy fix.

I honsestly think the first few places in normal should be easier anyways i had no problem but i think people used to silly d3 normal or people that haven't played arpgs need a slower difficulty curve in normal cuz ggg needs to interest the masses the beginning needs to be more welcoming my wife has problems with the first rare enemy she saw with fire storming down and wanted to quit no casual should want to quit after the first challenging enemy i would challenge ggg to change numbers to make the early game to entice as many as possible just for the lasting success of the game
