Massok... murdered yet another excellent character.
Posted: Tue May 10, 2016 9:07 pm
As is a ritual for me, Massok has destroyed another outstanding character with zero deaths. This time, a Cursed at level 33 that had no problems. Great armor, fantastic weapon, optimized curses and skills. It was al likely game-winner. God damn.
EDIT: This is the back-up guardian, not the optional boss in the Orc Campaign.
I always save him for last and either, I kill him easily or he murders me until permadeath.
Here's the thing though, it's not as though I was outclassed. I usually come awfully close to killing him and he almost always one-shots me.
That's BS.
1100 damage?!?!?? From a single-strike melee character? On normal? After Cursed Ground? I didn't do all of the math on reductions, etc., but this always happens with him. It's ridiculous.
Either, he crits me for some obscene damage or he hits with some undefined skill (does it not always show up in the log? Doesn't seem like it, or else he is just hitting that hard sans critical damage, which is even more insane) or shattering blow, which I understand and largely accept as risk, or he trades regular (still threatening though) blows for a while until he decides to end my existence with extreme prejudice.
What the hell?
We can trade blows for an eternity, doing reasonable damage and then he just randomly lashes out for an obscene amount of damage way out of proportion to anything else in the game up until that point.
I don't know if it's good or bad or whatever but screw that guy. Right to hell and whomever thought of him, and designed him. Screw you too.
