1.7 mindslayer bosses

#1 Post by ZyZ »

I belive mindslayer is a bit overtuned now. Basically every melee class with mindslayer is huge threat

rogue / marauder + mindslayer = no offhand penalty, flurry with 3 full attacks, each weapon with 1xx stat multiplier (10lv in resonant focus = around 130%), great mobility, high crit, high crit multi
cursed + mindslayer = same story but with less crit and more raw power and attack speed
wyrmic + mindslayer = huge weapon hits from afar, perfect

The only thing that makes mindslayer below avg in 1.6 is 60% stat multi and AI, when you replace it with 1xx % stat multi even basic tier 2 mobs can reach 150 dmg on each weapon. Imho no other class combinations is close in raw power. Add good monster type ie forge giants, champions of urh'rok and out of sudden you got something on completely different difficulty level.

I got hit for 3k damage through 160 armor (and the usual Solipsist defenses) by a single Kinetic Strike from a Mindslayer Cursed boss in high peak, and it wasn't even a crit. He had 380 char sheet weapon damage so of course I tried to run, but between Pride of the Orcs to remove any debuffs and Rampage, didn't succeed and got oneshot. Had I not died, he probably would have gotten several more attacks on me before it was my turn anyway. Most enemies in HP spawn with 250 or on the higher end 300 weapon damage, but then occasionally you get something like this that has almost 400, probably in part due to TL 17 Resonant Focus. Against 160 armor, 380 vs 250 weapon damage more than doubles the damage before multipliers are applied, so in this case it did something like 10x more damage with the 400% multiplier from TL 23 Kinetic Strike than the same enemy would have with 250 weapon damage.
