Fortress pulse-explosion
" If your baseline for how much survivability is necessary for 8-mod rippy T16 maps is a character with 7k physical max hit with guard skill up I can see why you would come to that illogical conclusion. If you play a pure glasscannon build and complain about one-shots, what can I even tell you.... this whole debate is more proof why not ever opinion needs to be heard. So far your only arguments have been "I cant see it so why can it hit me" and "why can my 3k life character die in these encounters" The opposite of knowledge is not illiteracy, but the illusion of knowledge.

" The content is easy, it's your build. " Your build is not even close to being min-maxed. Here's the list of things that you could improve. Piousqd already did a good job to help you with the min-maxing. It's not going to make you a whole lot tankier tho, cause you're playing a boss focused build in maps, so deaths are the expected outcome with the massive lack of defense. " Flames and madness. I'm so glad I didn't miss the fun.

"Easy if you use the exit spot and got Minions (or sth) to deal with monsters. Only the Pulses will hit then. Not sure if there are even monster spawning if you lurk at the exit point. Dont go too far south though as the Pulse wont hit anymore then, at least that happened to me. No wonder it's lost, it's in the middle of the jungle!

This ain't the "Builds" section of the forum.
Anyway, the pulse damage should just be a static number, unaffected by anything except what tier of map you're in. Then it would be balanced and fair. Random sudden unexpected oneshots are not fair. |

" Well they only happen if you run around with 0 defense. You're basically allow them to happen so it's your choice to fix it, and not the games job to accommodate to your builds needs. You're complaining about something as simple and easy as the explosion, and also claim to have a perfect min-maxed build, so it's only worthwhile to dive into the real issues of your deaths, in this case your not fully min-maxed or optimized build. Flames and madness. I'm so glad I didn't miss the fun.

" Do you really not understand this? Lets for a moment ignore the comments the one guy made about verifying that the damage can ignite/shock based on mods and assume the below: 1. You open a scoured map Pulse does 1000 damage (static, as requested by you) Bad build#1 (you) with no debuffs or mods in effect takes 300 damage. 2. You open a map with -12% max res mod Pulse does 1000 damage still (static, as requested by you) Bad build#1 (you) now takes 500 damage due to lower resistances. “Freedom is what we do with what is done to us.”

" Your feedback directly ties in with build choices. No one with an even less than half-well optimized build is remotely strugggling with this content and even you, despite your character's shortcomings, claim to only have died once to it and only because the map was a T16 with 8 mods. You can repeat that statement as much as you want but a) it's not going to get changed either way and b) you can fix it yourself by making your character better Don't expect to not get scrutinized when you claim your character is perfect with BiS gear and absolutely optimized. Those are your words The opposite of knowledge is not illiteracy, but the illusion of knowledge.

" Yeah, that's my Phrecia character. That Ascendant used to be a Scavenger in that event. I played a KB HH char(deleted it later) and then leveled both builds to 100 because Idols were such a fun progression system, and farming Harbinger with them was fun af and easy exp. I also got a 200 div forbidden flame randomly from exarch in that event(I think the jewel had a trickster node), that is what allowed me to copy-paste that splitting steel mageblood build(which is dead now since they made splitting steel not able to return projectiles). You're right, I am too lazy to farm hundreds of divines/multiple mirrors to copy meta builds every league. Its too expensive, and crafting is way too complicated in this game aswell. Like the only way I'm ever copying some kinda mageblood forbidden flame/flesh set giga-expensive build is if I win a big harvest gamba with House of Mirrors or something lmao Last edited by Toforto#2372 on Dec 19, 2025, 6:40:52 PM

Claims to play 16 hours a day and make 120d in two days,
Yet somehow we are “too lazy” to gather hundreds of divines for a proper build. Something feels… off. The irony is quietly undeniable. That being said, if the new Breach goes Core, the waves’ damage should be buffed. If it doesn’t, the wave mechanic should be retained as a survival and character check in future leagues.
