0.3.0 Hotfix 7

As many have pointed out, melee is very unfun on this fight. I don't think its reasonable to expect every archetype to have a good time on every boss, but they need to be inherently possible.

The one mechanic that turned this from an annoyance into a seemingly impossible task is the unavoidable TP hit sequence that is essentially a 1 shot. 1600 Life and 68% Phys DR. For the investment and overall luck I've had with my gear this early, this boss feels more pinnacle and less interlude.

Poison pathfinder here, this boss need to either get a damage reduction again or make it so he doesn't phase till like 33% health or something. Went into the fight with like 10 deaths. Came out victorious at 65 deaths. After defeating him I don't have the feeling of overwhelming joy after finally beating him. I have regret that I will need to beat him on all characters going forward. I trust GGG to fix things, but what concerns me is that it was shipped in a worse state to begin with.

Adding to this thread, Azmadi is still woefully overtuned. Skill/gear check is one thing, bosses completing 1-shot move sets off screen and then forcing the player to slow-walk back through an intro sequence is infuriating. 0.3 has it's issues, but so far it's been a blast compared to 0.2, until Azmadi.

I'm playing LA/LR Deadeye and Azmadi

I wish the other bosses were as difficult as azmadi

Azmadi is still quite bullshit. I'm done with everything else, Vaal interlude done with 0 deaths. 100 tries here and he one shots me every time cause he runs around the humongous arena and it takes forever to kill him because he is invulnerable half of the time and rest of the time far away.

managed to beat this boss after about 10 wipes as a level 64 falling thunder invoker, i have 1178 life 730 energy shield 41% evasion with 3 wind dancer stacks, not getting one shot but failing to move out of subsequent attacks can cause a quick death. took ~3 minutes from start of encounter. i was convinced i'd be here for a while but locked in, shit's brutal.

I had to kill him twice, because I didn't see the Djinn at the top-left corner after I beat it the first time (and stupidly moved on). This boss is doable, but the timing on some of his moves is incredibly tight (particularly the triple swipe, similar to 0.1 Blackjaw's 1-2-3 hit combo). I don't like the idea of doing this fight again on alts, it's just such a pain in the ass and obviously overtuned. Needs revision.

So.. fuck Azmadi and goodnight for now. Offscreen charges, rapid skills, high damage, fuck off.
