Nerfing Defensive Archnemesis Modifiers

Those essence mobs stuck inside of ice, they're using the archnemesis modifiers, right? The ones with 1-2 essence things are fine, but once it gets to 3 it gets really hard and 4 is usually one shot territory. Is this really how it's supposed to be on a tier 1-5 map? If you can't kite them it's basically just run away and ignore the pack or just don't interact with them. I've had many fights that last around 5 minutes because I can't get into melee with them without dying within seconds.

It just feels like such a wonky mechanic that seems out of place at low level maps.

Guess I'll see today or tomorrow if it actually makes the mapping more "fun". Yes, I'm a terrible player and only play SSF. Just trying to enjoy the game for what it is but the insane difficulty spikes makes it very hard to do.

Go back and watch league video you can see the hidden lizard people

I'm disappointed that "hasted" was not considered for nerfs. It is most frustrating mod in game, even if its only on magic pack in early game it is immposible to disengage from combat.

Nerfing their defenses would be fine if that were the primary problem.

The primary problem is that everything now moves at five screens a microsecond and hits for ten shaper slams worth of damage, or has a large radius degen aura with DoT damage comparable to a Sirus storm.

The secondary problem is that much of this garbage is also nearly immortal.

The tertiary problem is that most of the AN mechanics (i.e. the stuff that isn't just massive buffs to numbers) don't make the game fun or interesting or even challenging, they just make it tedious and annoying and unfun. The old bloodlines and nemesis modifiers were much better designed.

Good, these are needed changes because those modifiers stacking together make monsters near unkillable even with penetration support gem and corresponding -resist curse.

This is especially visible when fighthing stuff like Essence monsters or Expedition monsters. I think those encounters should limit modifier number to 1 (if they need to have any modifiers at all) because this league content has its own difficulty scaling mechanisms.

I can set up my expedition with 'monsters have +50% all elemental resistances' and 'monsters avoid 30% hits' because I have good resist pierce and cast speed so I can counter these difficulty pillars. But then some stupid archnemesis rare spawns and puts 3 strong modifiers on top of pillar mods and I'm screwed. I cannot kill this bastard no matter what, I just got my logbook ruined by a random chance. Skip it you say? They usually have at least 200% player movement speed. Such a monster will dominate a map.

Can you PLEASE for the love of god use the WE term like it affects everyone. State your own opinion as you see fit but stop using a misguiding term to represent YOUR interests. Even if 5% of people agree with you, WE is a very powerful word.

Misusing such a word just makes you implausible and completely negates your point.

TL;DR stop saying WE

"This is a community of mostly high educated adults" + "start to understand that you are talking with "nerds", not with kids"

I think I explained very well what I mean by "we". I get it, you're not one of the "nerds" or the vast majority of the players, but this isn't an excuse to reply to a post that you aren't even reading correctly.

You are free to post your point of view, without acting childish and trying to deny mine for a misinterpretation. Have a nice day.

Why did you steal my status? ;(

No wonder why it suck. You percentage of damage reduction is so high. lol

It would be fine if rare monster have only 1-2 mods but when they come with 3 or 4 and multiple of them... are you kidding !?

good to know that you need to nerf it. there would be no problem at all if you not implement it in the first place. hahaha
