RNG monsters.

[Nilus]

I play as a sorceress. Can anyone tell me how to fight an enemy that drains mana at close range and at the same time is invulnerable to ranged attacks? Why did GGG add RNG to monsters? It forces me to reset the map. Has no one tested this?

[vodan]

this thing have no other way to understand, other than being melee character or reading it from somewhere, but mana drain do not work inside the circle

Guess what the Early Access phase is for.

Give the monster a hug.
There are 2 types of drains.

One is a circle, when you hit the edge of the circle you lose mana.
The other is slow drain inside the circle.

You have a flask. You have hands. Beat the monster.

Didn't I mention at some point that I play as a sorceress? I'm not talking about T1 maps, but the type where “hugging” a monster means 1-shot death for my character.

Except that going in above T7 means death. On the other hand, staying outside within attack range means 0 mana. Enemies with this aura are mostly elites.

[donut32]

just leave the map and move on. that mob is a bricked map at T16, especially if it doublespawns them and they move fast as hell like the dogs/chimeras or also has shadowwalker etc. manageable if its a slow skeleton

the real winning move is to just uninstall this trash and play something 10x better, like solitaire or mowing the lawn

lol

scamming people. thats what it is for.

imagine having 10 years of arguable success on a predecessor game that competes with the king of ARPGs (diablo) and still needing to release a goofy, paid, early access public test

LMFAO

if you are playing as sorc is even easier...abuse your ES, i dont understand sorc players complaining about dmg, if its mana drain you can outrange or try melee range the monster, its that easy

[lemstryz]

yeah its the most dumbest elite modifiers in the game. I used to struggle with those elites all the time. It took me til my build getting insanely broken that I can finally deal with them. Now I just insta-freeze enemies and kill them before they get un-frozen

If you can get 1 shot, your build sucks.
You need to have proper defenses where you can literally fully absorb one big hit, which will give you time to recover until the next one.

[DaciValt]

Do what everyone else does - die or kill them super fast.

Those are the only two options really lol.

Sorceress is far from the only class that suffers with this affix, it's rough for everyone.

i believe new players are just going for those "%dmg" nodes and are forgetting the "+40% defense" nodes, thats why we are seeing so many people crying about this

Brother. I have level 77, all immunities at 75%, 2k HP, 2k ES, and 1.5k mana, and on top of that mana absorbs some of the damage before HP. Still, one-shots are a daily routine. I don't know what else I can do at this point.

2k ES

this is low, your ES as sorc should be double your HP for your defense to make any sense, there are people achieving 41k ES and 1k hp so you can understand it, expect ES nerf btw

There it is.
Problem found.

What about armor or evasion? Your low ES means you should at least have a decent 70% armor or evasion rating.
