Someone posted Shaper fight

Great content that only .0001% players will ever have a shot of completing.

Also, blade vortex opie.

Yeah, but Bladefall Miner most likely will do it just fine with Tri-Curse and untouched by nerfs BF + mines combo.

Rip any Life based char unless it's not 1 dps/second full life tree equipped with Legacy Kaom / Mirrored Gear and other gg stuff from STD.

If you want to tank him, then yeah, rip 99.9% of players. But hey, you can just dodge his attacks...

Damage seems avoidable, the HP is kinda absurd though considering how overpowered that build is and yet it takes him ages.

I mean DUH...its GGG everything they release is overtuned in the begining because they have to please the streamers and hardcore crowd. Dont worry it will probably get nerfed in a few days/weeks.

Hope they dont nerf it.

Enough of that shit

I have no issue at all with content being hard, even unattainably so, but when you have such imbalances as there are right now in the game, I really don't see how making bosses do 2.9E55 dps does anything other than limit build diversity. (Not speaking only about shaper here).

I mean...if you want to have any hope of even having an instant of survivability versus that thing you *need* CI. That seems a bit silly. Then, based on the video, you also need absurd dps if you want to finish the fight before the next xpac. Hard stuff? Cool, if the mechanics for defeating the hard stuff are balanced. But they're not. Life based? Too bad, unless you have a leg kaom's.....maybe. Want to use a skill that isn't broken like BV (or something like LA/Pierce/FW back in the day)? Too bad, no chance. I mean...someone post a kill of these guys using elemental hit. Reave. Double strike.

I'm all about challenging, but when the challenge is too broken or the player tools are too imbalanced, then you end up with everyone and their mom using CI + BV or mines. I don't know about you but it doesn't seem very interesting to have to buy boss carries from people who literally built a character just to run the boss because you need such a specific set of skills to run the content without using all 6 portals.

Side note, GGG should take note that many of the broken builds nowadays revolve around the physical spells....they may need mechanical rebalancing. Inb4 I get rekt for even suggesting a nerf.

Ya ya, so hard, impossible to do with mirrored items, bla bla bla. Wait couple of month and we will see first Shaper CI + EB kill (just like with Atziri)...

Honestly yall can sucks it. You keep wanting harder content yet keep getting the best build nerfed. You have reaped what you sowed.

The community and on reddit here is so ridiculous...COC MJOLNER WAY TO POWERFUL WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...
two days later...OMG Shaper is impossible, no builds that can do it. WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....

It was probably made overly hard as well just incase, itll probably change in 2.5 or something because it seems like they did overtune it to the point where nothing would trivialize it, which is obviously good and bad.

I didnt want to spoil the fight for myself but i decided i had to in order to see if it was even possible in a temporary league with a mediocre build, that doesnt seem to be the case.

That being said, theres absolutely zero chance of a life based build completing this from what i saw, thats not a good thing either. They effectively made this fight soo only people can pretty much only do this as CI because its quite literally impossible to get 15k HP without a Legacy Kaom and have enough damage to kill the boss.

I rolled a Hybird Life/ES, multilayered defense Trickster this league, now i know that my character cant do the fight, which is very disappointing (its also more soo disappointing though for me because im tired of the temporary league process).

Hard content is fine, thats why i love Izaro, Uber, Pale Council, but this fight seems to be more on the artificial difficulty side where the damage is scaled soo high that if you get hit by anything you instantly die.
