Mighty Silverfist?

[Grimmx]

Lvl 36, 871 HP on a 2h Melee
Insta killed 10x

His animations are just so fast.
Its like he is on speed.
If i am close he is turning on a dime and just insta kills me.
I knocked him down and thought that was an opportunity to get some dmg off, but boy was i wrong.
He goes from lying on the ground, into a 1hit instakill swipe animation.

Btw, i killed him on my Minon Witch. So i reckon ranged are the key.
But please, get some balance here. Its just so stupid, and no fun at all.

I really don't understand how they have made this game. A hybrid ARPG Souls Like?

Killed him in about 14 deaths. Just use standard 2h move, Buff Shout and roll, hit, roll, hit, roll, hit until he died.
But 1 mistake and i get insta killed.
Its just not any fun mechanic.
Ill see on Brutal if i can take 2 hits or not. I hope so.

Fix this boss please.
For reference, i have 35 deaths total. About half of those on this boss alone. Its just stupid.

I tell everyone of every class the same thing vs Silverfist: camp in melee range and only worry about dodging "the big hit" (it's the vertical overhead slam). Everything else he does is survivable and he rarely charges so repositioning is barely necessary.

Once you get the timing of the roll down it's an easy fight.

killed him with melee warrior he is so easy all his moves are telegraph , IDK how you made it in this part of the game after killing Jamanra.

Maybe im low on HP, because i got killed by the swipe as well.
And its a busy area, so i keep getting adds, its annoying.
When i killed him i just more or less stand still on the same place rolling back and forth until i won.
Still, i don't like this boss at all, and i don't see how this makes the game more fun.
Its just annoying, and yes i have killed Melenia. I just don't know what Soul like mechanics are doing in this game.

That said, will be interesting to see how i do on Brutal.

Edit: Im playing on SSF so i may be under geared as well.

The moves are very fast. Even if telegraphed.
Are we measuring ♥♥♥♥♥ now?

Stay close and dodge behind him when he winds up his attacks.

i killed him on my witch at point blank range without getting hit..... He's really not that hard, circle - dodge - attack

You will not be able to survive him in Cruel either. A player on forums reported getting oneshot as a melee at 6.5k armor. I can tank Silverfist because I specifically gear for him. Normal defences on melee will get you killed. Badly designed boss with dumb damage.

I killed him on my witch as well, but that was not really my point.
What are they doing by making bosses like this in this game?
Trying to make people quit the game in frustration?
I just don't get it.

They don't read steam forums. I made a thread in official forums you can too.

Silverfist and Colossus have bugged/badly coded damage.

Thanks for info.

I literally just ran up, dropped monk bell on him and bing bonged him to death in normal.
I ran up to him on my warrior and bonked him with leap slam in norm/cruel.

He has super telegraphed slams that you dodge, everything else is just strafing.

Appreciate the Bing Bong reference here.

Just lost a HC character to this bs lol. I don't normally have issues with dodge, until I get ambushed by this bs, and forced to fight him with trees blocking a lot of the roll angles. One shot mechanics are all well and good, and im perfectly fine with them being in the fights, but at least have room for the fight. It's a pretty piss poor design for a mini boss which up until this point haven't come remotely close to the damage of this guy. Not to mention the fact that a lot of them even have their own mini arenas for their fight. Or there just so easy there isn't even a comparison between them and Silverfist.
