Baran influence mobs are the single most overpowered/broken thing in the entire fucking game and there's really not enough complaints about them

They really are busted. The beam attack is absolutely ridiculous too and is a lot more difficult to dodge than the storm call on some maps because of its insane range.

Ya storm call Baran mob ripped me. But the beam is nuts from regular mobs. I just zigzagged on my HC char for these

I think its divine ire so its a lot of phy damage? Its like the EK mobs, phy spells are insane f you dont have armor.

PoEDB says it's pure lightning although the damage values don't really seem to match.

A pure ele spell do up to 8k damage a hit with 75% resist? What the hell?

Blubberinoo•

Sure, I have no problem with them being terryfying. But should a lowly white Baran mob really do more damage than Baran himself? And that damage is accompanied by the ability to just appear in packs of 40, out of fuckin nowhere.

Fightgarrrrr•

to be fair, baran's multi-circle attack thingo will also 1-shot you if you stand still :P

QQMau5trap•

they remind me of release synthesis lazor mobs that would artillery blast you from screens away :D I remember dying with 9k es to a single mob group.

Baran mobs are worse though, a single white mob does more damage than Baran himself.

And to add up to that, there is no audio cue announcing their upcoming spawn. Something like a lightning noise playing a couple second before the actual encounter.

Nothing like taking 40k raw damage from a barely visible beam an entire screen away.

It's amazing how many things in this game kill you just because.

I hate them so much. Instantly leave when they spawn

SilviteRamirez•

They really aren't and hyperbole is why whiners don't see results. People die to different shit all the time, and there's always some dramatic clown going "THIS IS THE MOST OP SHIT EVER". He stood still in a map with mobs, and reacted in 2 full seconds. Yeah, dead.

Revenant Corpse bomb? SINGLE MOST OVERPOWERED/BROKEN THING IN THE ENTIRE FUCKING GAME

Baran mobs, they were chilling far north west when he came into the area and then slowly rumbled down and took him out with a ranged attack (storm call).

They do storm calls, which do a bunch of damage. Baron mobs are really scary if you arent moving.

SleelanDead Leveloper•

Or if you're moving in one direction. Like you know, in a corridor. Then a bunch of influence mobs two goddamn screens away decide to throw a barrage of crosses, lightning balls and storm calls your way, and your only saving play is to sidestep them, in a place where you can't sidestep shit.

So many deaths in PoE happen after you think you're done killing stuff.

MarmotOnTheRocks•

A rule of thumb when playing HC PoE on higher-tier content:

  • 90% of the time should be spent studying mechanics, monsters, affixes, spells, skills and metamorphs on wikipedia, youtube, blogs, reddit, forums

  • 5% of the time should be devoted to praying your god

  • the last 5% of the time can be used to actually play the game

Gizshot•

Correction last 5% of the time should be spent on the beach

You guys are playing the game?

MarmotOnTheRocks•

Just hit level 91 and I feel I can't push myself anymore. I'd love to but... I don't know. It's quite slow now.

Raicoron2•

around 97 and a half is halfway to 100 with the current highest tier maps.

The grind gets pretty long.

[deleted]•

You can delve the ilvl83 horizontally and get there way faster than just mapping T16.

XaxziminraxGladiator•

With the watchstones able to get you higher monster level, it's not quite that bad anymore, but it is still absurd after you get to 96+

Tartaros38•

around 97 and a half is halfway to 100 with the current highest tier maps.

The grind gets pretty long.

Where do all these weird "half way" things come from. It very much depends when your character is "finished" for the push and you don t need to trade, set up atlas etc. anymore. There are tons of theoretically half way points (1/2 lvl, 1/2 exp, 1/2 playtime, 1/2 RL time .....) but they don t really mean anything because it s not a linear increase and you have less and less stuff to distract from leveling ....

little personal anecdote. For my last lvl 100 the push from 98 to 100 took me around 35h in game, my total playtime was 7 days in game.

i was curious what the 1/2 exp is and it is level 91 .... hence not even this one fits for my case.

91: 2,094,900,291

100: 4,250,334,444

Inukchook•

The key is build tough. The longer I play poe the more I have moved towards building any character tankier. Not dying is awesome. You can level to 94-95 pretty easy if you don’t die

2
filthgash•

Are you saying its the games fault you arent higher than 91?

MarmotOnTheRocks•

Mmmm... no? I never said that.

I said that leveling is starting to be very very slow.

Kaelran•

I like that suggestion of giving some immunity when interacting with masters...

21
impulsikk•

the problem is then you can just spawn *league mechanic boi* and click on him for immunity.

6
Kaelran•

I mean you can also spawn a portal and go back to your hideout, then come back for 30sec immunity.

It doesn't really gain you anything.

22
haggerton•

1 portal

Kaelran•

How often do you finish maps with portals remaining?

How often do you feel the need to use a portal to stand still with immunity on (not refresh flasks/hp).

9
allbluedreamSaboteur•

Make it only when the interaction window is open.

2
Rezins•

Metamorphs actually have the issue of not closing off arenas like bosses do. You usually would fight them there, too, if that's where the map ends. You can just portal out of the arena and back in. If you play an awful dot builds, that's an actual strat.

Baran Thaumatergist strikes again. Remember when people were bitching about this and saying "hey I'm on a white map and this motherfucker just slammed me for 8k" and this sub was like "lmao bullshit no it doesn't it is fine and balanced"?

Are we willing to admit we're wrong now that it did 12k not just offscreen, but outside the aggro rainge of minions? That maybe, just MAYBE this RIP could have been prevented if the sub didn't handwave off "this mob is overtuned" and drown necessary feedback in downvotes until it kills a few thousand HC players and a clip of someone popular dying to it in an extremely bullshit way finally makes it to reddit front page where you flip your script and suddenly change your opinion?

15
moondkChampion•

It is a nice way to die!

13
Hixxie_TVHTID•

Can they like, nerf the cast/attack range of ranged monsters by like 25-50% ? This "Offscreening" that they can target the players but not be seen is getting kind of stupid in this game. The most deadly of these are those that are south of the player, the bottom of the client's vision.

Also whoever did the damage numbers of those conqueror lightning monsters needs to readjust them.

I mean hopefully this is slightly addressed in the future because the camera will be slightly more zoomed out, but I still think it will cause issues.

I had the exact same death on a Blue T3 with no damage mods. I thought I killed all the mobs because I heard a bunch of bleed explosions go off and didn't see anything on screen and started reading the Metamorphs. The Metamorph screen blocked most of the storm calls and I have potato reaction speed from years of Softcore.

What a clip champ, I was fully expecting his D2 mouse to kill him.

[deleted]•

The thing that really bothers me about these guys is they only need line of sight for a split second to start chasing you with the storm call queue through walls and shit. It also stays on the ground inert if you run too fast from it so if you're running a map that has dead ends or loops around you can very well just rush right back into it.

Atreaia•

Hello GFL.

1
nothin2flashy•

Can you log out before death in this game to avoid dying? If that makes sense? since it ports you to town, would that work as a cheap way to avoid being killed if timed right?

1
AndyGrammerNugi is my daddy•

Yes, many people use a macro that logs them out immediately with the push of a button.

It doesn't help much in a scenario like this when you're instantly killed though, which happens pretty often

5
akkujAtziri•

That's exactly what he's trying here at the end, when you use a TCP logout macro (it just directly cuts the connection independent of the game client, should work even if the client freezes) you go to login screen with that "An unexpected disconnection occurred" message. He was just late, he was already dead by the time he logged out.

2
Rilandaras•

If I understand correctly what you mean, no, you can't. Once you are dead, you are dead. And you are not transported to town, you have to click a button first.

before death

Rilandaras•

Maybe read the rest of their post as well. "Since it transports you to town..." "If you time it right"

SunRiseStudios•

Are they just appear out of thin air? I am pretty sure I cleared everything in the area, but was blasted by Baran's adds who just popped out of whenever the hell they did while I was peacefully considering Zana's map options anyway.

Conqueror's adds amplify the problem of interacting with UI in the middle of the map even more.

1
rloutlaw•

stuff will wander into you from halfway across the map. It's super annoying to have to interact three times with an on-map master encounter because some white mobs that hit for a zillion wanders from four screens away.
