I have seen many posts complain about the difficulty around Uber Aberroth, but I just wanted to say I love having a genuinely difficult encounter that I have to gear and min/max towards. When I first attempted Uber Aberroth after having face tanked the regular version and steam-rolling 500 corruption, and just got my butt handed to me after getting him down to like 94% I had the biggest grin on my face.
I guess it just depends on what you are looking for in this game. For me, I love the loot and crafting in this game. I have a tendency to hoard exalted items because I am constantly thinking about different build possibilities. I am playing a Javelin Paladin, and loving it, but content was becoming too easy… even with sub-par gear what was there for me to really keep progressing towards?
Well, now there is an answer to that. While my gear is decent, its definitely not fully optimal, and now I have a much more challenging encounter to encourage me to continue searching for that perfect piece of gear to make the encounter just a little easier after every upgrade.
Uber Aberroth provides something I feel was missing from this game before: a real reason to push the limits of any chosen build. I for one have no intention of switching to a meta build or doing anything different except continuing to push the limits of my Javelin Paladin to see how far I can get Uber Aberroth down… and if I go the whole season without downing him… that’s perfectly OK.
Thank you EHG - I honestly believe you have already accomplished your goal of creating the best Isometric ARPG… keep up the awesome work.
