Uber Abberroth feeling

They did change almost all of his attacks. They are mechanically the same, but turned up to 11
Apparently you didn’t look properly.

There is no reason for a new boss if you want have different difficulties for the same boss, that is fine, because it feels like a progression.

If you know Aberroth a lot, that knowledge will help tremendously versus Uber Aberroth, but yet you need to adapt and learn a few more things.

So a numerical change that presumably took a few minutes then? Since nothing changed mechanically.

They did change… But not so much that you have to relearn the whole fight just adapt.

To name a few just from the first phase:

Spoiler of changed abilities

Lasers are double side mirroring 180°
Void Spheres moving across the arena are moving much fast
Void Ground Effect by the slam has roughly 100%+ length

I’m sorry I’m honestly not hating I’m just saying they didn’t really put any thought into it and based on the changes Heavy listed that really looks like not much work lol if you guys can ALL honestly say you love an uber abby over them buffing old one and adding a brand new much harder boss then hey, thats fine but I know that deep down everyone would have wanted the old abby just tweaked a “bit” and then a much harder, new boss to be added.

Adding uber to bosses IMO (thats in MY opinion not an argument or statement of fact) by any game even one I love like LE is straight up lazy and boring. They added so freaking much this patch and I love it all but personally i have no desire to grind my tits off just to fight the same dude with more attacks who hits harder and has more animations… like for items? But then what because I’ve beaten the hardest thing in the game bro lol what would I do with the items? Add corruption? nahhh! Again this is personal opinion! Not an arguement or statement of fact! I love LE :slight_smile:

I would compare this fight to the ultimate bosses in final fantasy 7. You already could end the game and go to the credit scene at any point, but you just love playing it still. So you grind all the ultimate weapons for each character, and take down the Ruby weapon and Emerald Weapon. There is nothing more difficult left in the game, but you beat it for the reward of feeling challenged again after you have become a demigod.

Here is another ethical marksman clear of uberoth to add to the list of videos. :slight_smile:

That being said, I can agree that they should add some stepping stones to fill the large gap between these two difficulties.

The problem with that is, like I said before, making the previous one much harder is something the players wouldn’t like.

As in my example, if they made T4 Julra 10 times harder, people would complain and no one would like that change.
However, if they simply added a T5 Julra, maintaining the previous one as is or with a slight nerf, then everyone would be happy.

Likewise for Aby. If they just buffed the old Aby to Uby stats, everyone would complain that previously achievable content is now impossible to get.
However, nerfing Aby a bit so that now most builds can do him and then making a harder version of him to where he really is a challenge is something the players can accept.

Sure, it would be nice to get a completely new boss, rather than just Uby. But given all they had to do for this season, I expect this was an easier solution for now. And eventually we’ll get a totally different boss when Uby becomes more commonplace.

As long as it’s not abused, I actually like Ubers. It’s been a staple of the genre since D2 where you have uber bosses for all the main ones.

I dont even remember D2, I remember D1 I think I had it on a commodore 64? Lol anyways I think someone should set the new standard and add a new boss. I completely get what you mean about making old Abberoth harder so yeah flag that idea. It doesnt really affect me right now as I mentioned I doubt ill even get a shot at uber unless I jump into a party and pretend I’m good lmao but would be nice next season to see a new giant baddie haha!

Not likely. Unless he’s a mechanic related boss. Like introducing another faction or a new zone and it has a boss.
But a pinnacle boss will only likely come when Uby is more accessible to most builds.

You said Stuff

Contextomy.
I’m elaborating on personal experience.

Also the builds you linked are either High ward Tanky builds.
Abusing Glitches (They actually say it in the description if you read it, good on you for promoting that tho, Anarchy!! Rise against the system and all that).
Already using items that you get from the boss you’re trying to beat. (You must beat the boss to obtain the items required to beat the boss. Uberroth is both the chicken and the egg.

The “Dive Bomb” build you linked is just Umbral Blades in disguise… Umbral Blades is the outlying Damage spec this Patch.
Good luck beating him with any sort of Latency or Rubber banding.
Also this Build should come with a Warning for Carpal Tunnel and Tendonitis… Be sure to put those on your post… Or promote AHK Macros (MOAR ANARCHY!!)

*Protip for anyone doing this fight with Umbral Blade : Go Full Offensive. Don’t follow the Maxroll setup. *
If you get hit you’re going to die regardless, just invest everything into damage and let rip.

Oh damn, Offline mode! Sure, I’ll get my mates I play with from all over the world to fly over quick and we can set up a LAN to play together.
Or like many other developers EHG can realise that African’s play their game too and put some servers there.

My Mate playing Paladin finally took down Uber last night, Good on ya Delta!
He got a pair of them gloves with some LP on them and instantly went from having to actually fight the boss to being able to just stand in 1 place the entire fight tanking the boss.
This build became “Magically Good” by having 1 item off the boss.

I went from having to run through a few phases of the Boss to beating it consistently in under 1min just by equipping Shattered Worlds.
My Build became “Magically Good”.

Again, I agree with the fact a pinnacle boss should be difficult and should drop SSS Tier loot for your effort.
But to say these Items arnt Balls Deep OP is just mendacious.

I’m not being argumentative here by the way, was just bored so thought I’d drop you a reply.
You keep fighting the fight mate!
