Obvious fixes for tainted jacob, like really... are devs seriously that bad at balancing?

[COMPANION❤CUBE]

1. Make esau take less dmg from everything and double dmg from jacob when chained (it's more easier to control when you want esau dead)

2. Make anima sola recharge faster (he gets chained only for 5 SECONDS)

3. Make t.esau stay chained even if you go to other room (so a explosion from him can hit you in other room but chains can't stay?)

4. Invincibility items DO protect from esau (why is this a thing?)

5. Remove dmg to esau from red poop and etc (bruh)

6. Remove his feature of being faster to catch up on jacob (you could now just chain and bait him to opposite way to buy some time)

7. Esau now blocks enemy's tears too (isn't fair how he can block your tears but enemy's tears go thru)

8. Blue flies and blue spiders do not die to esau (imagine ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ losing like 30 flies when you need esau alive)

9. Esau now breaks poop and puts out fire (make him somewhat usefull)

Also i swear to god if someone says tainted jacob doesn't needs some rework and balancing. Are you masochistic and have a thing for being mentally disabled?

Also i would appreciate if someone just modded this instead of waiting for patch note which will come prorably in december or october

It's fine

I agree with most of this, I feel like esau should take on more of a ghost quality rather than an enemy being able to phase through spike rocks and ♥♥♥♥ without taking damage but i feel that anima sola is fine just the way it is, esau blocking your tears is a lil too overpowered and the double damage thing is WAYY too much, he does enough damage as it is.

Make it so the health you collect as The Lost is actually taken into account (just like the Knife Piece I part). Not that it's going to matter anyway since you'll be The Lost.

And I strongly, S T R O N G L Y agree with number 4. Why would you be able to withstand colossal brimstones, your mother stomping you with a foot that is ten times your size, spikes, explosions, poison, but not some fking random ghost?

I'm currently doing the same, after knocking out most of T.Lost's unlocks and some of T.Jacob's. He really was the tipping point.
I just was glad it was over, when i've unlocked something new, instead of feeling any kind of satisfaction. Mainly because it was just an RNG grind. Never since pre-AB Lost have i violated the "R"-key so much and pre-AB Lost wasn't even anywhere close as hard as T.Lost is in Rep (i just sucked more).

Something on top of my wishlist is, that certain rooms should be blocked from generating for certain characters as well as certain rooms being excluded from spawning champions (especially rooms with enemies close to doors). The perfect example for both cases is the quad-Boomfly room with the narrow path at The Caves. If you're T.Jacob and Esau is alive, you're screwed and if any Boomfly is a champion with different size, it will mess up the intended pattern, often making avoiding the Boomflys impossible.

I once finally got to boss rush but then flying larry champion versions spawned while i was standing in center of a room and instantly shoot 3 tears at me, bosses shouldn't instantly shoot as they spawn :(

He ended one of my T.Lost run in The Caves. Random tear flew right into my face as soon as i entered the room. I hesitate to call that situation 100% unavoidable damage.
If you know in advance, that the next room is the one with the 2 lines of mushrooms and Larry Jr in it and that he's gonna be the green champion and that a random tear just happens to fly at the entrance from up close, then i guess you can maybe avoid it.

Bloat or Monstro II spawning off-screen at Boss Rush is always fun.
