Fortress pulse-explosion
" Arr! Who in Davy Jones’ locker is gettin smashed in one of the easiest fights? How in the seven seas is it even possible fer someone to keel over in these kind o’ brawls? Blows me mind! Flames and madness. I'm so glad I didn't miss the fun.

" Like, that boss shouldn't even move your hp bar. |

" I literally get melted if I stand in a water tornado for 2 seconds on the shipping one lmao, and never fought the mapper one cus mappers cost way too much gold to even use. Though gold carries are a thing now, so maybe I can start throwing my divines at people to farm gold for me. All I'm saying is 1 portal for some RNG-giga rare encounter is pure nonsense, they even backtracked on that in PoE 2 for maps. Even Black Knight still lets you use all 6 map device portals if you die. These pirate bosses are just out of place, make no sense and are far too punishing if you die to em. But whatever, that's just off-topic from this thread anyway. I don't really care if they change em or not. |

this is 100% your build that is the issue. if you want to play a bad build you have to suffer through mechanics like this. The game shouldnt cater to bad play.

" Sure, yet I can do uber bosses and most content in the game on this supposedly bad build. No such thing is happening here, and blaming the players for bad game design is just pointless. Its on the game if its overly punishing or some damage numbers are overtuned. And with the amount of complaints about hive fortresses in general, its clear they weren't tested enough. Like, I already cleared 24 waves and now I have to escape while getting hit by periodic damage? Am I playing an ARPG or am I fighting a WoW Raid Boss? It just doesn't fit in this game. And that's clear how out of place it is since they now made it drop all your loot in case you die lol, completely eliminating the punishment for dying in a hive and only not giving you the main league mech rewards:graftblood and wombgifts which you can just farm in any random alch&go map breach encounter anyways so you've lost nothing. Like cmon, "bad build" and "git gud" isn't the answer to everything wrong with a game. If its on the game, its on the game. This is why there's a feedback forum, for people to say what they don't like about the game or what they think is wrong with it. At the very least they should make this explosion damage in hives be % based, or a static number not affected by any map modifiers at all. Because atm it clearly is affected by map mods. Its just purely unfair that it can oneshot some people, while others take almost no damage from it. That's bad. Last edited by Toforto#2372 on Nov 15, 2025, 8:27:37 PM

a 1 dimensional build is a bad build. Most sc builds are bad builds because there is no penalty for death. If t17s all had the sent to the void mod sc would start seeing good builds pop up more often.
with the addition of t17s you started seeing more decent builds in sc but a lot of them are just 1 dimensional as can be. |
|
" I dunno, I think most people would just ignore t17s and sell them just like how I sell any valdo map worth anything I get lol, like why would I ever risk my character getting deleted? Doesn't matter if the map would drop 20 mirrors, I'm never doing that. Its never worth it, the very reason most people play SC is because they don't want their character deleted on death. |

" There are quite a good amount of good builds in SC, but a good or decent build alone won't carry players if they just stick to the 6 portal corpse rush mentality tbh. Hence it's time for GGG to change the 10% to something higher if not even the whole xp bar of the current level. This would be the only way for some to learn the game on the hard way if they want to get to higher levels. Flames and madness. I'm so glad I didn't miss the fun.

" my point is, until they put t17s in the game people actually thought tornado shot deadeye was a good build. |

not every build can do every content. Doing sanctum as melee is really hard, should i keep complaining or do something else?
Get some armor, get some life, get some block because yeah, you can block that pulse. |
