Champion of the pit

[lalala]

The pit boss at arkovia... LVL 73, elite difficulty. Actually, nothing before and after this boss makes any problems. This one is rly funny:

650k HP, which is normal for that type of boss, lvl and difficulty. He is a literal one punch man.

- He regenerates around 20k per second
- When he gets down to under 80% he gets bored and heals himself to 100% all the time (no healer mobs nearby)
- You can't kite him with 127% run speed, he gets you, he kills you, he skins you.
- He stuns you forever. You can't cast or move forever, even with high ressist on this on my current build/equip.
- He does not care about your armor and res, he downs you by 12k in 2 seconds.

This guy is not champion of the pit, he can literally go and conquer the world on the difficulty, because on same difficulty none of the final endbosses and literally no boss on the way the final bosses, are capable of doing this ♥♥♥♥....

Have all ress overcapped by 40-80% and also limits on most increased by 3-5%, plus 15% absorb and 20% additional phys res on top of heavy armor. 12k hp, which is not tons but decent and as said enough to handle anything on the diff.

I am seriously not sure WTF.

Kra'vall is a joke compared to this one. He could grab him by his balls and throw at malmouth just like that....

Yeah I hope they can keep him close to as is but maybe make a section a bit further back in the pit so you have to go quite far in to trigger his aggro.

Sorry, but this destroys the immersion. And there are at least several others that earned it more than this guy. So where is MadLee-boss.. Nery-boss.. our russian friends Valinov, etc ..or a Maya-Pet-master encounter?!?
If CRATE is that bored, they should finally work on a Loyalist pack 3 and cover missing items..
Seems it was just important to get PR runnning.. sad :cozycastondeath:

Nobody "earned" this.

It was our tongue-in-cheek acknowledgement and commemoration of the community driven PVP tournaments that ran over the summer. Both of the winners had their exact builds and equipment added as mini-bosses along with a medal that should make any future PVP endeavors more interesting.

We enjoyed the tournaments and seems the community did too, so this was our way of saying "keep it up!"

Actually what would be really good fun is if he is hostile to everybody so you can run him around Cronley's gang/beasts causing utter mayhem :)
Downside is he will be able to chase you a long way over the map, but if they had a small area further back in the pit then it is a player's decision whether to aggro him and the hurt it may cause to you and everyone else lol.

I do wish we had more tactical options/flexibility on using kiting/luring to cause mayhem between opposing factions, it is not something that is done heavily in any arpg.

You need to be at the gate unless you use a taunt skill I was standing here for a about a minute and didn't trigger the boss.... well I triggered him from a far way using war cry but that's the exception.

I am thinking for when Boris also spawns, assuming he still does?

edit:
Also having a bit further back with say more blood and bodies around him may help players realise he is a lot stronger than Boris.

20% of the time both will spawn

You can stand at the same spot but it's random how their aggro is triggered sometimes they are closer than the picture and don't trigger. I had 4 runs where they both ran across the back pit while I was at the gate and no taunt skills were used.

If you are walking past the area normally you won't trigger the boss.

Really? I've found them to be much more aggressive and need to keep further away from the pit than I previously did. I can barely get close enough to see if one or both have spawned before they start rushing me.

I agree, seems CRATE rushed this.. I expect adjustments with next patches

Aye, but kreeg is always like that, don´t expect a smart being.. better ignore :brawler:

We have one of developers as a nemesis. Also, Gogo the Chaotic Melon.

[MedeaFleecestealer]

We have several of the people who worked on GD as Nemesis in the game.

So far the few times that I have engaged him and Boris Rekt often spawns and lingers more towards the Eastern side of the pit while Boris is to the opposing side. To aggro them separately I just walk to the edge of the arena, double checking they are not snuggling, then get close enough to draw the attention of Rekt then move back before he engages.

I've only done it a handful of times so not sure if it is consistent or if they mill about like what Boris did prior to gaining a brawl buddy.

The point I want to make that you have to going towards the pit to aggro them if you go the normal route from the rift to the hideout entrance you won't trigger their aggro.

My post was for those who may wish to try and take the new champions on but do not want to engage them both at the same time if they spawn together.

Also, there is a third champion that can spawn: Acedian Aldric a mage of sorts that seems to primarily deal electrical damage.

How is it an exaggeration if one can face Iron Maiden with less of the hearbeat near-death warnings than him?
With 2970DA Conj and 17.5K health (fine for Iron Maiden) he was able to take me down to around 6K in 2 seconds and the DoT taken it down even more, without kiting would be dead next hit.
I have faced Iron Maiden 4 times now in SR and not experienced same constant near death heatbeat for the Conj.
The weakness for my char was 40% stun resist but still surprising how quickly it was cutting the Health down relative to Iron Maiden (and to be able to handle her your res/defence needs to be pretty reasonable).

I got a feeling you are possibly using good but not BiS so same as the rest of us, but can you clarify what items were on your char?
Thanks

iron maiden is somewhat easy because of her low dmg output, her 2 potential issues for build is the cosntant stun - which is more significant in gangbangs ofc, and the regen that tests a build minimum dmg output. Her dmg itself is rather minimal compared to others

and by the looks of it, i'd guess Faust is using his spellbinder build from this post
