Stacking Hyperion rings...

[Rhadamante]

Thought I would be smart stacking 3 Hyperion's rings on my Barbarian before attempting the Boss since luck decided to put 3 of them on my path.

1) If you wondered, when you get a new life, you're not at 100% hp (it looks to be around 30-35%). Don't know why I thought I would but I based this build on that wrong fact.
I thought 2 lives at 200hp is better than one at 250.
2) Despite that, I still think it was a good decision because each ring cost me 46 max hp, but gave me I think 76 hp on respawn, and since I was specifically going for the Boss (which I had yet to beat) this was worth it...
3) or would have if I didn't suddenly learned to play. It's when I come prepared that I magically managed to beat the Boss that eluded me all this time. Yes I died once, but didn't lose any hp on that new life which mean the ring were useless.

Stacking 3 of them might be a bit too much, but what are your thought on getting this relic. Most, I skip but this one, I might take again in the future.

Hyperion's ring is good against enemies that are going to kill you in one hit anyway. If you don't have armor, Namaah hits really hard and each ring basically gives you another try. It's also slightly better than the 'ignore three hits' relic because if you are still exploring and you mess up, you might not lose the ring (but you WOULD lose the shell).

Honestly, don't bother using Barbarian for bosses. Barbarian is good for exploring in that it is a class that can one or two shoot almost every enemy, but its attack recovery and talent cooldown are awful for bosses.

I don't favor classes but choose heirs based on which of the three seems the most interesting/useful. This time it was barbarian. I also hadn't unlocked Echo kicks yet and had explored all of the Citadel. So going for the boss was all I had left. That's when I decided to backtrack and grab all 3 rings thinking "why not ?".

Funnily enough, I managed to beat Echo's challenge with this same barbarian. Must have been a lucky streak. He's also still alive with 2 rings left since I stopped playing midway through.

I think its talent is pretty good against the third boss.

Actually I think that barbarian is good especially against bosses. Because most healing is not percentage based. So most health in the long run will come from food and life steal instead from your initial health pool, you only need enough health to not die from getting hit a few times in succession, other than that it is just about health reg.

For bosses though you usually have no health reg, your initial health pool (and armor) is everything you have. Barbarian can survive longer while having a shorter fight than most classes as he also deals a lot of damage.

For the first boss I used Ranger or Warrior (can't remember which)
The second one I used Valkyrie
The third was burnt into a crisp by the Chef

Funnily enough, it's now official, I've beat all 3 estuaries using a Barbarian. It's mostly thanks to his spinning attack and high damage. He might be a bit OP (or more likely, I'm just bad with other classes).
