[PoE2] Rare mobs w/ Proximal Tangability + Lightning AoE And Mana Drain

Mobs should not be able to roll both modifiers. The counterplay to either modifier is anti synergy for the player. I want to outrange the mana drain aoe, but I cant because then the mob is intangible and takes no damage. So I need to stay close to the mob but Im taking constant damage and losing mana so I cant even use skills other than basic attacks to kill the mob.

You don't loose mana at close range.

Mana drain affix only drains on the edge (approximately 1 meter) of the circle. In this situation, be fast on the potions when closing the monster (try to dodge roll through the edge), avoid moving too much, and tank the lightning by using potions while you try to burst the rare.

A lot of people think Mana drain is the whole area but it's not. I think it is indeed kind of confusing and would need a better "onboarding" to help player understand that fact :)

I encountered one of these in my first tier 1 map in the form of a rampaging gorilla boss.

I ran around frantically for ten minutes trying not to die while mopping up other mobs to recharge my mana and trying to figure out how to take him out.

Eventually managed to kill him and I enjoyed a second or two of victory and excitement as he dropped a legendary item!

I run in to grab it...

and one hit by his random on-death explosion and exited from the map.
