Swamp Spores?

[harmar]

I am on Endless Path level 11 and I just dont know how to handle these swamp spores. They just spam dominate my team. I tried buffing up will and still doesnt help.As soon as they convert my barbarian it is GG cause he kills my entire team except for my tank. I cant seem to find any preist spells that get them out of it either. Any suggestions?

Have you tried casting a charm or dominate spell on the affected party member? That usually works for party members that are charmed or dominated. Also, you may want to mostly attack them from ranged and essentially kite them if you don't mind using cheesy tactics.

Grieving Mother can cast Whisper of Treason on any dominated party member and they are nuetralised at least.

I assume you have already killed all the mobile sporelings?

In some ways you have already answered your own question - don't send your barb in first!

Try to take them one at a time out of range of the others and send a less lethal party member in first to bait the charm then rush them with everyonel else. Interupts are your friend. Watch the traps!

i have noticed that when my party members get dominated, as long as i dont attack them, then they just stand there completely non aggressive until the spell is done

I use ranged weapons on them after there minions are dead(usually drawn out of range of those guys to begin with) and then pause from time to time and backspace and concentrate my fire or just click on them when they go green and direct them.



edit:it is unfortunate that dominated only seem to get close combat attacks of opertunity and thus they might as well be stuned or something I have a feeling this will be fixed in the future.

Pallegina has an ability she can take which will allow her to do a reduced damage attack on any dominated or charmed ally and dispel the charm or dominate.

It's awesome against those enemies that can charm.

Whoever designed these creatures is a freaking idiot.

They aren't hard, they are just irritating and waste your time. Why the ♥♥♥♥ is it impossible to resist the effect? It never fails unless the projectile misses! I also had to go unequip melee people's ranged weapons because the moment they get dominated they whip our their bow or whatever and shoot someone standing literally right next to them. The domination wears off, I switch them back to melee, they get dominated, they switch back to ranged, etc over and over. Needless irritation.


And of course, there is virtually no pre combat buffing to try and prepare because you "have to be in combat" which is imo a big misstep for an otherwise pretty good game. If you hit and run, since they are immobile, they magically heal back to full the instant you're out of combat with them, which is also lame.

Then they put them in an uncommonly narrow hallway so the already downright braindead combat pathfinding just spazzes out back and forth and they just block each other in place constantly.

So damned annoying.

There is the Priest spell Prayer Against Treachery, which makes all allies in its range immune to Charm and Domination. It is a 6th Level Spell though, so you may not be a high enough level to have access to it.

Prior to getting that spell. What I would do is have one party member with high Will defense, usually a Paladin, attack them solo, since they aren't especially hard hitting on their own and the real threat is your dominated party members.

If you have a paladin in your party - take Aegis of Loyalty and hit charmed companions with a ranged weapon if they are out of melee reach from you.

When your level is high enough take Sacred Immolation. Aegis of Loyalty + Sacred Immolation = never having to worry about Charmed/Cofused/Dominated again (granted your SI aoe is large enough).



But having (and forgetting) to switch your dominated companions back to melee weapons every time is a PITA, I agree.
