Rekt Byprotoss

[LotusBlade]

This enemy is stupid, compared to any other elite, hero or special monster. I started Elite difficuly for the first time and in act 2 haven't found any other creature as strong as this one. My character had 6600 HP, 80% resists, good lifesteal at lvl 69. Still Rekt immediately attacks you with shield slam at 300% speed and deals 5k dmg followed by internal trauma for extra 2500, so it is one-shot. If he misses that ability, he recasts it, even tho game says it has cooldown of 3 secs. After it lands or misses he also manages to do shield attack with 10m radius to briefly stun and cause another bleed for good 2-3k, followed by speedy slam one-shot. And he has mehnir healing at low hp which gives him around 70% healing immediately.

A bit too much? I can stand in any monster abilities tanking all the shots excecpt maybe Darius AoE, cus it slowly starts to kill you over time, but still gives chance to retaliate or move away. Rekt just dashes into you immediately before you even see him.

Killed him after 10m of cheap attacks out of his battle range and getting my HP to 9600.

I've honestly never paid attention to any of the champion of the pits names, it's cool to find out they're based off some hardcore Grim Dawn players and their builds they made to share.

Some bosses will essentially "counter" certain builds. Rekt Byprotoss, no problems, my ranged fire build melts him.
Now, you lock my character build in a pit with Gutworm, the Maneater and I'll be screaming to be let out, that MoFo, stuns, roots, stuns, slows, stuns some more and chunks. All while stacking resistant reduction and bleeds on you.

I asked my brother and he said he had problems with Rekt Byprotoss with his retaliation build and that he was able to beat him pretty easily once he started spamming his tinctures, oils and poisons from the quartermasters during the fight.

10 minutes to kill an elite your build needs fixing dude.. dont waste time if it doesnt die in 2/3 min skip... I suggest you post your build on forums and ask people to fix it for you or its a playstyle issue maybe you are not use to this kind of game sorry to say

Again, it's not my build problem, he instantly comes to you and one-shots, so the only options is to fall back, do few shots, fall back again. But he recasts his ability when i dodge, with no cooldown at all, so i end up leaving his battle zone. And since he outheals incredible ammount of hp there is nothing you can do but repeat it over and over slowly. 1 mistake and you dead, then by the time you return his healing already cooled down.

I have no problem with any other elites. Maybe 6600 hp was too low for act 2 Elite difficulty, so i did bumped it to 9600, But so far, the highest dmg any other creature could do to me is 3k and their skill had limitations (high cooldown and/or predictable pattern allowing you to react).

It's totally a build issue, haven't had an issue with him with any of my own builds while levelling or testing end-game builds. Sure, I've had to hit and run, but it's never taken me 10 minutes to kill him.

your build has issues... since when is 6k hp good for lvl 50+?

6k hp is what you should have on a good build at lvl 35!

Skill issue mate, like i said earlier this game is not for you

What are good numbers for Elite and Legendary difficulty in terms of DPS and HP in different acts? Cus before Elite Rekt i never felt any need to increase HP and 6k was enough to beat all content, the only exception was some crazy monster in last act in the desert who one-shots you and has like 90lvl, protecting some seal.

It seems your character is not set up right. If you only have 6600 Hit Points at level 69. A example, this is my level 67 Primal Strike Warder unbuffed @ level 67. https://www.grimtools.com/calc/YNnvxydN

Notice the difference. Now to compare, this is my level 40 Warder(That is right, level 40). Notice he is close to the stats you are mentioning with a level 69 character https://www.grimtools.com/calc/vNQ5E6YN

That being said. You need to make some adjustments for your character. I am not sure what you are doing to your character. As you do not have a link to what he is wearing, skills or devotions. But I would research the build you are trying to make and adjust accordingly. Grim Tools is a great place to start!

As to the Arena Boss. That fight can be tricky. Especially on a two spawn. But you can kite him away from the things he casts. Much easier fight that way.

That is not entirely true. You are going to make noobs think that is something to aim for with every build.

Aside from resistances there is no standard one-size-fits-all regarding any stats. Be it OA/DA, heath, energy, armor rating, DPS, life/energy leach, armor absorption, etc.

Every build is different and has different requirements. The only stat requirement for all builds are over capping resistances. All other stats are entirely build dependent.

Yeah I'm not digging this HP thing people are telling you. Different builds have different strengths and weaknesses. Someone tried comparing a warder HP to your HP. Warder has like 3 different passive skills to boost HP... the highest health through skills alone out of any class, it's not fair to compare. Not saying your build doesn't have any problems, but your HP is "okay" (not good, not bad) for your level, imo. Rekt is very strong and many builds struggle against him. You could post your build for more specific help, but yeah, maybe you need more phys res or armor/armor absorb if it's the physical damage that's murdering you. Armor blocks phys damage. Phys res will greatly reduce the internal trauma damage.

That would apply if the two compared were closer levels. That said, a 29 level difference is a big deal regardless. While I understand some class/builds are squishy. Even at mid to high level. Not being able to defeat a boss that can be beat before level 35 is a problem.

Do not think I am not familiar wih really squishy builds. Skaters and TSS Spellbreakers just to name a couple. But even they at level 69 would not have a issue with Pit Arena bosses regardless of difficulty.

Like I said, we do not know his skills, devotions or gear. So we can only guess. Until that point, for all of us it is mute to address his issue. Why I recommended Grim Tools. So he could compare builds similar to the build he is working on.

Ya but at level 35 you're fighting a level ~40 rekt on normal difficulty. At level 69 you're fighting a level ~73 rekt on elite difficulty. Know what I mean? Sorry wasn't meant to question your knowledge or anything but it's just not a fair comparison, that's all I'm saying. I'm no expert when it comes to leveling phase, as I usually just rush through leveling with twinked gear and not paying much attention to my stats throughout, other than res of course. Maybe it is low. Definitely need more detail on his build to help, as you said.

When weak and still levelling, I just skip bosses that my build doesn't work on, and come back when stronger.
If they are necessary to progress, you need to change your skills or items. I never had that issue, though.
Now at lvl 100, I can beat almost everything with ease on Ultimate (except some ridiculous super bosses).
