Disclaimer, I am really enjoying this patch. It’s amazing. But I wanna just start a discussion regarding the Uber itself.
So I’m currently progressing the Uber right now, getting kinda reliably to second to last phase where he heals to 75% and I’ve had about 40 attempts by now. I just want to say high actual difficult content in this game, really highlights some of the inherent jank this game can have.
The best way of describing it I can think of is this. I see the big bad attack, I react to the big bad attack, I do the action which is the answer do the big bad attack, but my character needs to wait to 2-3 business days before the action goes off. I kept joking with my friends how just getting PoE’s forstblink or flame dash, would make the fight feel so much smoother.
Or when he dog slams, I react to it, only to die and my body being literally on the opposite end of the slam. Or how certain very dangerous mechanics which have a voice line as an audio queue to make sure you are aware of it happening because it can happen off screen. Just gets overwritten by Harbinger voice lines.
Sometimes when I try to do a precise move where I have to stand in a certain place, my character sometimes derps out and keeps trying to move where I am not actually trying to move just because Aberroth hitbox itself, keeps trying to push my character around, which leads to said derpyness.
I like difficult fights. I have fought plenty of very difficult bosses. Some were great, some were bad. I feel like Uberroth falls into the bad camp of difficult bosses I’ve fought. If you want high difficulty, then you can’t have a lack of audio queues, weird hitboxes and poor visual clarity.
The final phase in this fight is purely unfair. Unless you’re playing some face tank build GL. I’ve put 10 hours of attempts in with a very well geared vk es in cof and it’s just get to last phase die repeat. Uninstalled the game hopefully they realise the last phase is completely ridiculous. The whole 10/1000 people who attempt will complete it. What are those numbers? It’s not aspirational at that point it’s absurd. I didn’t get perfect rolls on my 2lp dark world, I can’t find a 2lp belt, even if I could am I getting the mod I want? I can farm god knows how many hours and not get these items. This boss is unapproachable. They need to nerf the last phase. I’m not re-rolling a face tank build just to kill one boss.
erasing strike vk is literally best build on softcore to fight uber. I even have a video that i do 8 kills of uber aberoth in a row deathless in like 20 minutes or so, without animations and shit its less than 2 minutes per kill. And you only need 1lp gear, not more
sorry to say but its just skill issue, people with way worse builds than es vk are doing the boss
Not everybody want to play paladin… I dont understand why they nerf ward so much… survivability with any class except paladins are HELL…erasing strike still most dmg in the game and mega buff for paladin on top of it.
They could just have buffed paladin classes and the bosses instead of nerfin the other classes…i played so much paladin before i really dont want to continue the same wanted to make shatter strike. got good item pushing 1200 corruption but the survival and the wards are so thrash its crazy
The worst part is they didn’t fix any of the issues with regular Aberroth.
Broken janky hitboxes
DoTs effects get covered up by other DoTs
Visual clarity is worse
Clusterfuck last phase
One of the biggest feedback about boss ward was how it took too long to decay, well now his ward doesn’t even decay…
Boss ward was introduced to make fights longer instead of DR, well he has 90% DR when he is doing phase shift anyway and he has 2 invulnerability phases too.
Its horrible design, just pick a build that deals enough damage to delete him if you really need the items.
This sounds like it is currently just too hard for you or you are approaching it wrong. Every one of my dashes go off instantly If you aren’t moving in time the moves are pretty telegraphed, start moving early rather than sneaking in extra damage.
Its beginning of season. Honestly, I think it should be harder since people are killing it with less than optimal gear.
