priest of the sun in maps are rediculouts

[ChynaVirus]

They lock on and laser you from off screen, no way to avoid the laser, its locks on you and stays on you. I have lost so many teir 5+ maps to these mobs. You should be able to roll out of the laser but its locks on you 100% until you die.

[Bad_Lieutenant]

Like Homelander, they'll laser every ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ one of you! xD

no matter what anyone says they are the worst enemy in the game by far, their aimbot needs adjusting because it not only tracks you perfectly while you roll.

If you have stuff like lightning warp they will immediately aim lock to you still and with a super tanky build I have rn it still kills me in 1 sec (for reference i can tank multiple hits from any boss and any mob in the game, except forsaken miners, and still be over half health) and the beam is basically half a screen long so you cant escape it. Also on some maps their beam can go through objects so you might not be able to cast things at them but they can hit you with the aimbot beam that last 10 seconds or w/e

I remember getting hit by their damn Kamehameha crap out of nowhere. I couldn't dodge away from it to save my life.

Stand behind a wall. There are many in the Kopec Temple.
Don't try to roll out of it, instead roll, run, hide behind a wall.

okay so what do i do when he shows up on the tree map in a t16 map and the beam goes through the trees

Get closer and do circles. They turn slower than you run.

This.

It goes for many other similar ranged beam and channel attacks etc. We all learned this the hard way in PoE1 with various boss fights and by the point of Sun Priests, you should know in PoE2. :)

Windmill physics essentially.

The outer tip of the rotation moves a lot faster than the centre of the rotation. The closer you are to the outer tip the faster you need to move to keep ahead of it. The closer you are to the centre the easier is is to keep ahead of the rotation because it's slower.

Keep that in mind for any game mechanic in any genre that uses rotating damage . Or when you find yourself in real life trying to keep ahead of a dreaded water sprinkler. Understanding physics saves lives.


Or get 90% max fire resistance. :D

Or slow your enemies down with slows/chill so their rotation speed is so slow it doesn't matter. :p

Edit:

Or stand behind a wall/pillar as mentioned too. :) :)

Or "Raise Shield" ability which is great vs. beam attacks.

rediculouts - another excellent toon name

[Incision]

Just throwing in here to say that 2 of these disgusting stupid mobs spawned on 2 separate maps for me tonight and burned like 8 hours of xp along with two well boosted nodes and good stones. Really peak gaming experience there.

[Kapyst]

Resist solve the problem

[caballero1321]

I have capped resist, they appear on some maps every now and then, sometimes I can't even get close enough to them as there are other mobs blocking my way, so I need to kill them first, and as I'm trying to kill them, I'm being brought down to 0 hp. So much xp gone.

[PrettyNeatGuy]

the beam duration need to be cut in half. dealing with that and the million enemies around them is dumb, ESPECIALLY when they're rare mobs, EVEN WORSE when theres 2 of them both rare. my new most hated enemy lol.

[MinkSauce]

I just came here to say that this enemy is trash.

[EvilHare]

Power Rangers taught you not to be near a mob when they die.

Dori taught you to keep on moving.

Characters from many player's childhood that taught you what you need to know about action gaming.

[arjensmit79]

Never even noticed them on my warrior.

But hey, now im doing an SSF ranger, who knows maybe ill notice them.

PS: how are your resistances ?
