TLDR: I’m quitting the game until next season because Uber Abberoth has ruined it for me. I feel trapped because I can’t start my next character until I get his item drops (because it needs those for it to work), so I’m in limbo. I tried coming back to the game a few times since my initial 100ish attempts at Uber Abberoth and the whole experience just feels too grueling to continue. If I could, I’d take a handful of his 1LP drops and never battle him again.
Ubber Abberoth is demoralizing. I feel like unless you’re Wudijo or playing one of the top 3 meta builds or exploiting snapshotting you really don’t stand a chance. I’ve always made my own builds and I take pride in never using guides. This season i’ve been able to reach around 1.2k corruption comfortably but I’ve never felt weaker slamming my face into ubber abberoth over and over again. I have 5k hp, 69% armor, a ton of DOT reduction, great sustain, and 2.5k endurance threshold with max endurance. I’ve learned his mechanics like the back of my hand, I dodge time shatter slam every time and I know which abilities are the a threat but innevitably I’m caught by something unexpected some time during the fight. It just takes so long. Attempts that are even a little close are like almost 20 minutes and I’m bound to be caught by something before then. I’ve run it close to a 100 times now and I just am not having fun anymore. I went from feeling power fantasy to feeling like I couldn’t hurt a fly. I don’t even care that much about fighting Ubber Abberoth for the accomplishment, I just want the items since I play COF exclusively and can’t just buy them. He really does make me feel “Weak and Worthless” lol. My build is more or less capped out unless I get some really high rarity 3lp items so I feel like there’s no escaping the rut. My main complaints are the following:
Ground effects: The incredibly lethal line ground effect should not be hidden by the ground effects from the orbs that fly across the screen. Accidently stepping on super death zone because I cant see it under 3 orb pools makes up like half my deaths.
Less Health: I think Ubber Abberoth is simply too tanky. The fight takes so long that each death feels like a punch to the gut. I play a lot of souls games and one of the things that makes them work is that even though the boss can kill you very easily, you can also wear most of them down relatively quickly. High lethality all around.
