So this boss fight in excavation site in act 4, on arastas was just silly. Big ass boss that has ground things to avoid, giant swings, a spinning whirl that bounces around the little arena, oh and to top it off, later a giant column of fire that also moves around. The bonus, the giant column of fire can fill your entire vision and block everything else in the game if it gets between your character and the PoV. Which it will eventually as you dodge all the other crap, while dpsing the boss.

Edit: So found a thing I find super annoying. If you are say half way through a zone or even 3/4, you have to afk for whatever reason. You TP out and sit in town. Come back but if its been too long and you take your portal back, it sends you to the start of the zone and all your progress is wiped. Basically starting over. How can you not just allow people to portal back after however long they need. If so worried about people afking in town for hours or something, then add an afk kick. Especially some of these larger act4 maps.

I went back to Vaal Guards to try them with my new Spirit limit and Reservation reduction. They are not even close to the Ants.

If they nerf them to hell I'm done for this patch. God forbit minion people can enjoy something broken but let lightning spear and arrow screen clear shit for the entire patch.

Anyways, got an Abyss invite and cleared the boss, got a timeless jewel and put it in merchant... Oops.

Also they need to fix the Abyss shit performance. My 5900x with a 3080 get 10fps on medium to low settings with dynamic resoution when they appear.

I knew that haste spectre was getting nerfed so I never even tamed him. Leave the ants though I can’t go back to the grenade spam. Shit is painful on my eyes
what was the haste spectre? did it start with a haste aura or something?

yea i hope they kjeep the speed and melee factors on the ant. t he ice plopping is fucking obnoxious, but it's vicious AI gives it a lot of dope usage. hell they need more aggressive melee boys. I suspect it'll keep the AI but have some sort of numerical tweak once specred and i pray to lord alvis that they fucking remove the ice plop.

also, i haven't mapped in FOREVER. what determines the tier of maps dropping now? what determines the tier that dory sells? do the tiers on drops go up when you complete towers? do i need to combine 3 maps to push up a tier?

Are you still able to 3 - 1 maps to a higher tier? Tried it with the recombinator and it didnt let me place them. Been a while so maybe I just need to vendor em?

yes you can 3 to 1 in the forge thing. but they have to be the same rarity.

haha okay so first off this is my companion now:

1756942434743.png

no longer a frozen mandible. it's reserve cost went from like 48.8 percent to 24.9. the HP fell from a few thousand to 770. i can't even see it. i think it's burrowed by default?...so i get no haste aura from its normal haste beast mod. i had to engage in 3 fights (in the mountain vault) before it deigned to run in and help. got my haste aura, then it died about 10 seconds later. i'm not a minion master, so i'm used to flakey minions, but that was real sad. hopefully the ai unfucks itself and i can still use it as a haste bot.

i went and tamed the frozen mandible again and it made another nettle ant. so i think frozen mandible is just a named, nettle ant who had special named stats, womp womp.

yea just..the way the ant behaved was how...something should fight right? like some minion ai should be an agressive asshole.

"Hey, Ghazzy is saying spectres are pretty good right now. Maybe I'll hop back in for them."

"Oh."

He said on stream just now that some of what was done to them is getting reverted.

folks are saying that the devs are going to make a post about the ants. not sure if its "oops" or "fuck you"
