Melee Build vs Ornithopter = Death

[Xyion]

Anyone know how to survive them? I've spent a huge amount of gold trying to fight these things. They are just instant death.

I'd like to add the Marshlights too. I insta die going through an ink gate.

well, u need ♥♥♥♥ load of hp and good ress...i didnt have problem with pure body melee. had like 2,6k hp, 450+ res and 900 def and good dps in order to kill em fast. i think 750+dps is enough

edit: and make katarina tanky...full body, third fighting stance (ghost) and max that skill which shares dmg.

I have no idea how you got your stats that high. I have put the majority of my points into body but then I could not support the mana cost of my spells.

HAHAHA! Just got to Rooftop Mayhem! Insta-death on spawning into the zone. I was thinking of going ranged in my next playthrough I have no idea how to survive this area with less HP than I already have.

I managed to find a tiny exploit for Rooftop Mayhem, run to any of the set of stairs and they don't seem to chase you up there. Stand on the stairs and wack away!

you talking about those small hovering chopper thingies?
What Difficulty you running? im full Body as well had no issues with em. 900-1k dps 2.2k hp with alot of hp/mana regen. using Bash fully upgraded with only crush upgrade on it on main hand and earthquake offhand ( or well <-> you know what i mean) Earthquake i got all 3 upgrades. Katarina is full Hp / Mana regen with atk speed. and i dont use ghost mode on her. but melee. Maybe take a look at your build and check to see if you can move skillpoints around to beef up your hp / hp regen and mana regen?

Yeah I had this problem on heroic difficulty. I had to switch to a ranged build and kite them with a ranged aoe skill. Heroic difficulty isn't very balanced on some enemies.

I have no idea how you guys are getting that stas you have. Un-buffed 135 Body. My Flowing Combo is at 440 DPS.

[M(a)trix]

The only way to easily kill them - is to have good dps and to use cleave + heal or bash + heal.

Flowing Combo is actually the worse skill to use.

All your numbers seem so high compared to mine. I just beat the game on normal, had about 1.6k HP, at around 230 body, 900 def, approx 250 resistances each, with around 300 dps on Cleave and heal. I also had a lot of trouble fighting them, and marsh lights. And pretty much almost anything in a swarm. Still managed to slay everything in the end.

hello there?

I only tried normal so far, but even large stacks haven't been a problem with melee, but I ran with hybrid spec. Obviously I forgot the name of the skill now, but the melee with the chain lightning does very well against them. Mix it with fire ring skill and hp per hit, and you leech hp back pretty easily.

@Pagan, I never used Gear Enchating, I don't understand it at all. I couldn't take Essence off. I just don't get it lol. Nice gear though xD

For enchanting, you just had the girl enchant your equipment. If you didn't like the stat just disenchant and try again. As for essences, you could remove the essences from the same forge guy that does the inserting.

Sorry, yes that's what I mean. Essences, I could never put a weapon to take the Essence of an existing weapon. Can anyone explain or link me some info?

[Suen]

@Xyon
A purple vertical bar on the icon of the object indicates if can hold essences.
To know the Essence Capacity of a item look at the value in the description.
Also check the Essence Cost in the description of the essence.
The Essence Cost cannot be higher than the object Essence Capacity.
You can add or increase the Essence Capacity using a Capacitive Essence.

Thanks for the response. I have got all the Essences that I picked up through my first playthrough, (Completed the game today) all of them seemed really lackluster a +1 here and there. It didn't even seem worth it at all.
