Do people still not know how demon hosts work

This is me venting but I swear to god every random just wants to walk up and tickle the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing

Literally didn't know how they worked the second time I encountered one, so I tickled it and then it killed me. So I ragequit and asked google and now I know they are avoidable.

Pro-tip: while its not optimal, even if someone triggers it you still don't have to fight it. It'll only kill a maximum of 2 players so if dingus #1 triggers it and you don't have any faith of your ability to kill it then just keep your distance as they (and someone else) gets their souls succ'd out.

This may not sound helpful but rescuing them afterwards will be way easier if you don't take a massive ammount of curse damage.

Also I found out that the vet's shout to res teammates can still res players in the middle of getting their soul ripped from their body. This'll buy you just a little bit more time that could very well save the second guy's life.

I'm guessing you have to use it while the teammate is laying on the floor (aka before the succ) and not after he gets helped up and gets the succ?

Also, Malice and below is pretty much "expect people to trigger it". If you dont wanna die just stay further away than your team from it, and someone else will take the L, and dont damage it as it apparently goes after who damaged it the most next

Nope, completely cancelled the animation mid succ and teammate was res'd. They went down again and got succ'd seconds later, probably had their hands off the keyboard.

'kill a maximum of 2 players'

yeah, have fun surviving with 2 players in a high intensity shock troop gauntled with the risk of a regular monster spawn

I have seen it happen. Hell, I saw an Ogryn solo clutch on auric 5. Barely, but still.

I have nearly done it myself but the game doesn't have many reliable knock back abilities.

Oh I don't doubt that happening
but its rather stressfull and one bad spawn or one moment of focusing on the wrong thing can ruin everything then
I like tension but I would still like to avoid the unneccessary stres of some grox-brain reducing the team to half size

It isn't that people still don't know, it is that we got like 10-15k new players.

idk what else I'm meant to feel when I type in allchat HOST when I hear the lines and then tag it only to watch two of my teamates crouch up walk to the thing as I easely walk around it

[TheTownWitchDoctor]

Levelling my Ogryn I've been dealing with this a lot. Someone triggered one just as a chaos spawn appeared. Kills 2 players, the other dies to the wave and I'm left trying to solo a spawn with no coherency and 200ish rated gear.

It's basically every mission in T3 someone triggers it.

Worst was babysitting 3 xboxers through Hi-STG on the throneside aegis station. Got right to the end having rescued them countless times only for them to all muck about at the bottom of the stairs and get wiped despite the marker and medkit I put up top. They did avoid the Demonhost though, so I thought they might be learning.

T4 or higher I'll fight it because team usually has enough DPS to kill it.

Hopefully it'll get easier once the Xbox babies graduate gamer kindergarden and get some sense.

[Buff Engineer]

Does demon host still target you if you go invisible? Haven't aggro a dh in forever and don't wanna be a A-hole and test it

[Vance]

Really shows that this generation didn't encounter the witches in L4D/2.
