Please Nerf Achates!

[Bonebreaker]

I know what some you might think now, but to me this boss feels way to hard for its Itemlevel in compare to all other guardians so far. The combination of his large hp pool, constantly moving around, his aoe spamming and 2 wipe mechs (the one with the bubbles if you are to close and the debuff at the end that drains your hp from 100% to zero in seconds) are way to much.

I had 20 tries on this boss so far with all kinds of different combinations (solo, team, match, heal, no heal, tank and heal etc.) all between 920 - 1080 and my best try was the solo but than the time run out and the debuff killed me. There is no way you can do this boss with the suggested item level unless a T3 char helps you are or you and your mates are realy good at this game. The best try with a matched team got this boss to 60% but only 10 mins where left.

This boss feels like a content blocker and should be adjusted, the way it is now its very likeable a fun killer of a lot of casual and a reason to turn way away from this game because they cant progress.

git gud, They already nerfed him once, there is no need for a second time

[Bonebreaker]

sorry but i think otherwise, from the 20 tries (most of them with full teams) not a single one was able to beat him. Maybe if you a pro in this game or have a high char he is easy. But thats surly not the case with the min. item level.

Dont nerf anything. Everything is alrdy too easy

[Bonebreaker]

Maybe for eliteplayers like you. If its so easy why couldnt any setting in over 20 trys beat this boss at least one time?

Let me guess because we are all stupid causals who dont know how to play the game, right?

No other guardian so far was such a terrible experience like this one and even players who are allready T3 say he is way harder than any of the T3 Guardians they have fought. Even Asmogold points out in his clip that T3 is way easier than some bosses from T1 or T2. Shouldnt it be the other way around?

OMEGALUL nerfing again ?! XDD

[Vexillarius]

Everyone in the party need to kill statues and throw the correct colour chunk at the shield. You need to throw four chunks at the shield to drop it then you need to use weak point attacks right after the shield comes down.
If you do this he will not go berserk and completely trash your team. This fight is actually quite easy when everyone pulls there weight and understands the fight. You can use a destruction bomb and any weak point attack to easily break him since nerf so that part of the fight can actually be done solo and you dont need to rely on your team mates now.

make it harder and increase the drop

[Project Danny]

Git gud

[P.Diddy's Baby Oil]

achates is a joke after the nerf (he was a joke before the nerf to be fair)

[HighLanderPony]

Terrible boss. A mishmash of gimmicks.
"He was nerfed, gitgud." That was Tytalos. And even if Achates was nerfed, too, it's still terrible, lol.

[Luxaly]

get good... if u guys fail on achates think about how raids gonna be! they dont just have 1 easy mechanic but multiple for different ppl etc.. abrelshuld has a mechanic where 1 player has to recognize a pattern in a own realm he gets ported to and lead the group then etc. with mechanics every 20 bars and the boss has 400+ bars...

If you fail at archates and not try to get better at his mechanics you certainly won't be ready to face the abyss dungeons

Maybe do him right... I'm certain there are videos and guides to successfully doing this.

There is nothing to nerf.

all you have to do is learn the mechanics.

PLEASE DO NOT NERF ANYTHING. Im so tired of these nerfs. Game is already way to easy.
