Malachite heal blocking

[ImmortalSausages]

The Malachite elite enemy heal blocking is INSANELY broken. Its not just limiting your healing like removing natural regen or something. Its ALL healing, and in late game where you NEED to constantly be healing, hearing a malachite enemy when you are currently tank healing everything around you is just an instant run end.

Well, yes. What part of "anti-healing" didn't you understand ?

Also, why would you be tank-healing everything, except if you really want to die ?

I understand that its Anti-healing, what did I saw to make you think I didnt understand that. For all I know, the debuff doesnt have an official name so I just dubbed it heal blocking. It couldve been limiting but you cant know that until you get hit by it. In most games ive seen with a heal block, it just limits it. Im saying that it should just limit it instead of completely block it. Once you get to really late game, you are probably going to take damage, a lot. So you want to have enough healing to just make it not matter. When a malachite spawns, all you can do is run and hope something doesnt clip you on the way

I don't mind the heal block. But the damage they deal is insane! I just got oneshot by a malachite lesser wisp with full health :/

I havent actually been hit my a malachite before. For the wisps, I just focus on them so they cant shoot

I don't see any problem with anti-heal. Lategame, I'm not taking any damage because everything dies way before being able to even attack me. And if it doesn't and I hear a malachite elite spawning, I just keep my distance and destroy him from a far. Sure, they deal a lot of damage but it's not a problem if they can't attack you.

Lategame you need to have Transcendence or else you get one-shot. Anti-heal doesn't affect shields, including overshields from topaz broach.

The only time I find malachite to be a problem is around stage 6 when they first start appearing. It's simply too early in the game and there's a high chance I'm not strong enough to handle them. By stage 9 if I get that far they aren't really a threat. But of course, Transcendence. I've never managed to get to stage 9 with Rex, and I think rex's reliance on healing really cripples him after stage 4.
