Is there a way to mitigate damage from Abyss's DoT puddle?
|
I play a Warrior and I can't consistently deal damage to them unless I'm standing on their puddle

GGG has stated many times they don't want melee or any class to be able to tank physical DoT.
Sauce? It's been over a week and they didn't tone it down. This will likely not be touched because GGG can be tone deaf about these kinds of things and always state they know what's best for the game. ConnerConverse has one of the tankiest builds in the game atm and he can't even stand in it. All the DoT pools on the ground in Abyss are physical DoT. Also some of the pools stop regen/healing while on top of it. Basically designed to not be tankable or mitigated. Armour doesn't protect against physical DoT damage because they aren't hits. Elemental doesn't help with it because it's physical. You either need physical damage reduction (PDR), physical convert or tons of ES/Life full stop. Good luck out there! |

Thank you very much for the information!
If the DoT puddles are really designed to not be tankable/mitigated and so hard to mitigated, I should try to come up with a way to deal damage from afar instead. But if those guys spawn with Proximity bubble then I guess I will have to run away. |

I use Heart Stopper with my Amazon. It seems to be working. I don't think I die anymore on those puddles by accident. If I do die on those puddles is either because I was stunned at the puddle and stayed for too long or I wasn't looking and standing on it for too long.
I also have 36% Chaos Res and Molt armor (cannot be poisoned). Last edited by BigBoom9240#8803 on Sep 7, 2025, 6:57:34 AM

No one can stand it wait till you get one with prox tang on it and healing.... this league has great stuff in it but then we have to deal with garbage like this.
And if they dont fix garbage like this ASAP people will just dump their game. |

" Yea not when they have prox tang on them and healing dead eye just ends up dead like everyone else lol |

Super high regen, like 1000hp/s will mitigate most things, or play deadeye.

Play minion build and do whole abyss off-screen.

I actually just turned level 90 with my Huntress / Amazon. Usually when I level up, that's when I play CARELESS, meaning I don't care if I die since there's no XP to lose anyway.
I popped up a T15 map with +1 Irradiation, Chilled Ground, Elemental Weakness. For some reason, my ping went from 40ms to 100ms. I was slow as snail once the Chilled Ground started stacking the debuff. But surprisingly I wasn't in trouble at all. I went head on in the middle of Abyss and started throwing Light Spears and went melee mode with my Primal Strikes. I had no issues surviving the onslaught or the DoT damage. BUT IT FELT LIKE PLAYING MATRIX because everything was slow on my part. I was dodging, parrying, attacking, dashing all around but I wasn't running away off screen. I CAN'T because I'm too slow to run. Basically to survive I had to play the piano with all my fingers on a controller. The only part I died was when I sprinted towards the final boss and didn't realize there was mob there and I got stunned. It felt eternity getting up from the stun. When I got up, the Hyena boss hacked me to death. Next time I came back, he was easy peasy. I parried most of his attacks and did Primal Strike while being slowed. Stats: Level: 90 Armor: 0 Evade %: 52% Deflection: 72% Res: 75% Chaos: 36% with charm it becomes 50%? |
