Callagadra, Scion of the Sands

[SudKreuz]

Seriously... the level of retardation is insane. You are forcing us to pick a cheese build in order to complete part of the game. Kitting an enemy for 25 minutes is boring and lame as hell. Who was the genius who thought this was a good idea? Ugh... the game is awesome but this kind of stupid decisions makes me want to uninstall it. If you want to put some content for elitists do it, but in the main game? ♥♥♥♥ it

</rant>

Nope, it's just your build. There are some serious flaws in it if you have to kite half that long.

Calla is a superboss so shouldn't be a pushover. That said several builds have tackled her and succeeded.

And she's totally optional so if you choose to trigger the altar then expect consequences.

I have Spring Maiden in my cabalist, therefore my minions taunt the stupid thing and they all die in one second.

I can do the rest of the game content with no issues at all.

A cheese build will do for sure, but having to remove Spring Maiden and running in circles half hour to kill a boss is stupid.

Some builds will obviously do better than others, for example your cabalist with skeletons (I highly doubt they stay alive no matter how much armor they have) VS some high retaliation tank.

You really shouldn't feel bad or disappointed with your build if it can't beat Callagadra. Only like 2% of playerbase really bothers with it and we also really asked for something insanely strong in the past so devs delivered.

Also... it's 2nd hardest foe in the game. 1st, if you are wondering, is Crate of Ent.

I don't feel bad for my build... Its actually fairly good, as I said nemesis and rogue-like dungeon feels like a walk in the park.

But this is... ugh whatever maybe you are right.

Can I introduce you to Our Lord and Savior Ravager?

Superbosses are superbosses. I'm still convinced that stuff like Crate of Entertainment exists only for devs to nerf builds able to kill it -_-

I'm quite sure I've quit trying to handle it on Ultimate with my spellbinder, though the last time I've challenged the celestials on ultimate I was able to push over The Avatar of Mogdrogen and one of the Versions of Ravager that beast others Callagadra rips my Spellbinder to shreds.

But well Many things shouldn't be able to withstand that much raw power the Aether does deliver!

[SchnitzelTruck]

Why should the hardest content in the game be easy enough for any build to walk over? You can't kill it? Good

[MedeaFleecestealer]

Pretty sure Maya's done several pet builds that can do Calla.

if you love your build so much, try improve it to be perfect. like i love necromancer, i want it to be survive anything but can kill anything so i improve it to be balance and really good for hardcore, well it cost my love for pet.

Removing Spring Maiden and running in circles 20 minutes would do... but it's not my idea of fun.

try minimize your expectation, or push your brain to a limit. well it just a game, you spend more time in it you will be good at it eventually.

Cabalist is way more squishy than a Conjurer..
STILL beating such endgame-monsters even after 15-20min is quite respectable
Don´t understand the fuss^^

the mechanic is boring, and I feel pity for those melee characters

my brain with this quarantine is borderline insane hahaha

Look, the boss is optional, it is supposed to be strong for even toughest builds, whats wrong with that? Its just like Mogdrogen or Ravager, most builds can't deal with them on ultimate, and its fine.
None of my builds are even close to being able withstand Callagadra, but i dont see it as a problem, same as i dont complain if i cant beat hardest difficulty in game, it really is the same, so why complain here?

[RodHull]

To be clear proper superbosses (of which there are now 5 I believe) are completely optional, not designed to be killed by all builds, they are inherently unfair and stupid in design (just check their grimtools pages for the stupid abilities they get) most normal builds will never beat them, indeed the people who do it genuinely legit (And by legit i mean no GDstash created items, no macros, solo etc) can probably be counted in the 10s if that.

Even the people on the main forum who create builds that can do it often use GDstash to create uber green items that are rarer than hens teeth in order to make their builds work against them. And even then it will take them upwards of 10 to 20 minutes to kill them even allowing for all that. They are unlike the bosses or mobs in other games in that they are truly designed to not be killable by most builds, so if you cant kill them they are functioning as intended. Also the rewards for killing them are OK at best, some decent useful purples but nothing earth shattering or worth the effort imo
