New Ravager is too much

[BB Mouse]

Has anyone taken on the new Ravager? I think its buff removal attacks are way too frequent. It's gonna take forever to kite and slowly deal damage to it... It can cast totem that cast blue buff removal balls, while itself can cast red balls. All you do is shoot it 2-3 times then you got to run. With that huge hp pool, it's taking forever.... Anyone has bested it?

*not my vid, i prefer to do Ravager of Flesh since i find it easier

Yes, this Ravy u speak of is arcane superboss which I really like cuz some of us really asked for it.

The superboss is totally doable, u need to basically go all in once u step out from totems and if u can somehow avoid sunder in meantime too, it's the highest end content so it's definitely not for everyone or faint of heart as they call it.

on ultimate, yes its the considered final challange. if you want achievement go in normal, if you want his headpiece go in elite.

In that video, that Ravager hardly cast buff removing balls. In my case, it's chasing me and cast buff remove balls 247. I guess it's all luck? The Ravager is moving fast. Our attack window is small without buff on. I have studied its attack pattern, but I just don't have the patience to continue for that much hp.

I just did Callagadra too. I died at its 20% hp because I grow tired again to repeat the same motions. Any boss that takes 10+ mins are not doable to me. I mean it's killing my eyes XD. So I don't think I will be doing these bosses any more. Too bad I won't be able to get that last piece of Ravager purple helm. I am not looking for challenge, just need their items to play different builds.

A decent min-maxed build can do it within 3 min max, some even manage around 1 min and as @Faust said to you u can get his helmet in elite where he is less "strong".

what, no, it's the totems that casts the nulli balls, which is exactly why you see him move the way he does carefully placing objects between him and the totems, so the purple balls break on impact everytime totems fire
anyway, if you're char is taking 10mins to kill the, i'd run out of patience too, and then i consider my char not optimized enough/too low dmg and tweak it accordingly (assuming is interested in doing so/i cba to get the dmg to kill celestials in decent time)

May I ask how much dps is it to do it in 3 min? I am using a primal strike that has around 170k I think and it's taking forever to do damage.

You need tons of RR for it too, damage numbers is only partial thing, and while u at it get some defensive procs like ghoul, giant, chariot.

Share your build here honestly, cuz it's hard to tell why u struggle although it's quite normal since we are talking bout big foes here...

3 minutes is rather optimized. You can just do it in 5 with far less effort. That is only like 125k consistent dps. Everything else can be pushed into defenses.

Consistent dps means you need to shred 95-100% resistance and be able to have nearly 100% uptime on it. And the OA to actually hit/crit. And every time you need to move is also a cut in dps (unless DoT build )

Basically, I'd worry less about sheet dps and just meet the benchmarks on RR, OA, and defenses.

[phenir]

For the future, you should choose the sacrifice that becomes ravager based on what stat you want on the helmet and which ravager you can handle fighting.
Ravager of flesh = +bleed damage, energy leech, and aura that shoots projectiles with big OA debuff, helmet has +% health and vitality resist
Ravager of soul = +aether damage and some cold damage, big damage reduction and accuracy debuff pools, and invincible wraith spawns that can sunder and shred your resists, helmet has adcth and aether resist
Ravager of mind = +elemental damage and some poison, spawns totems that remove your buffs, and heavy slow and DA debuff, helmet has +% defensive ability and chaos resist

remember sheet dmg/sheet dps isn't all that matters, because that's just a basic addition of your raw dmg+speed and doesn't convey real or "effective" dmg, such as applied to enemies factoring in their defences or specially resists.
That's why Flaming is mention RR, resist reduction, you could have 170k sheet dps but half or 1/3rd or less *effective* dps if you ex don't have RR to debuff enemy with. And that can then drag out a fight like Celestial/Superboss that has 95% resist

You could always switch from 1.2 to 1.98 to get that mob that 1.2 wont let you get. Cheesypoof tactic just to get that superboss item!! Then switch back when you are ready.

Bludbonez here would not be that cheesy would he? Guess what? It WORKS!

not just useful for rabagur cheesing btw

Alright, so @BB Mouse, I don't fully know or understood what class u play however u mentioned Primal Strike. So I made something around it with Veilkeeper set and few green items which could be ofc different but affixes since u can't be 100% certain u will get same items, however build is super easy to play and almost no danger. It takes a bit (not 10min, a bit less) but gets it's job done.

I fought Ravager of Minds (purple version just for your sake and got the helmet). You can improvise, but as you see I gathered around just enough RR (small skeletons, Arcane bomb, Haunt ring, Spectral wrath).

Hope some of the insight helps.
