Hall of GrandMasters 2.4.2

Hi,
has any1 run HoGM after 2.4.2 patch?

I did 80+ runs in Essence last month, and since 2.4.2 cant kill Mull Guben... I was killing it in 2-3sec before.

Any idea what happend in 2.4.2 ("Continued to improve and fix issues with the Hall of Grandmasters")???
- was Mull Guben updated/changed?
- or all block builds are nightmare again?
- or is my phys bow poison/bleed ripped in HoGM/pvp now?

BcR and FrostBomb onboard ofc.

yeah we did tests with that guy a lot. he is very hard to kill even with 150k x 10 arrow + point blank barrage. i was be able to kill him mostly with my blast mines. sometimes he was surviving too. im glad he is as tough as he was in sarn/pvp arenas.

nice.

Did he submit a spider queen build? (dyness + aegis)? It would be nice if the map wouldn't be an easy faceroll. Builds submitted there still can't be as strong as real characters because lack of flasks opens up lots of options for cheesing, they cant remove curses, ignite, bleed etc, and can't get movement speed and armour from there either.

So only MullG is changed? Dyness and other block builds are still ok?

I killed him without trouble with Vortex/ignite.

I'll give'r a run tonight and let you know

Ho I know why you guys are struggling with him suddenly, it's because they fixed the armor vs projectile bug.

Before 2.4.2, armor wasn't calculated against projectiles (wich explain why my brass dome juggernaut tank was getting one shot from time to time by izaro windslash with 35k armor...) but now it's effective again wich mean any physical builds will have a lot more trouble against aegis blockers than before.

I wish sonne had a grandmaster

mull is way better

Thx IceDeal,
I think armour fix explains my troubles with that build now (I am bow build).
Cleared all halls/weaves as usauall, stuck only with that one.
