Please Nerf The Chosen

[HispanicTitanic]

This enemy has ruined so many runs for me. I honestly don't mind Hex. It's a bit of an interesting obstacle to overcome as you have to balance the risk of putting dazeds in your deck with how often you actually want to block, but the REALLY issue is he can do that, in addition to having the highest health of any non-boss, on top of being able to weaken you AND GAIN STRENGTH and then make you vulnerable. This is what happens when The Chosen Weakens you the first 2 rounds, hexes you makes you vulnerable, and then takes a big ass swing at you. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1325418103
I don't mind the weakness and the vulnerability honestly but the fact that ALONE with a large health pool the chosen as a non-elite enemy even has the ability to deal this must damage while also debuff you is absurd.

Champion's execute is pretty ridiculous at the moment as well, especially on ascension.

This type of discussion has already been made, and sadly, I don't think the Devs will do anything about it. All I know right now is that they're adding more content to level 3 (make it harder than level 2, due to the weird difficulty gaps).

The general deadliness of non-elites is silly. This guy is harder than the elite fights on his floor. I've often thought to myself "I should go through the elites so I don't risk hitting the Chosen."

Well, that unless you run into the book-of-stabbing.

Hopefully then discussions like this can get more attention because the chosen is pretty cancerous to the balance and flow of floor 2. Your only hope is that you have a SUPER aggressive deck for taking care of the chosen.

You must have just had a run of bad luck. Every time I meet this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ I just spam-attack him. He takes so long to get warmed up, he rarely presents any challenge.

It's not just ONE run. It's multiple. As I mentioned earlier aggressive decks have a pretty easy time with him but if you don't consistently get large damaging attacks and combos this enemy poses a huge issue. I mean he's just terrible. As I showed in my screenshot that one run he dealth 60+ damage in one encounter. Yeah it was unlucky to not have the block and damage to deal with him but part of the reason I didn't have the damage was he hit me with 6 weakness. Being able to deal so much damage is just ridiculous for such a high health NON ELITE enemy

'Takes so long to warm up' if you get lucky. Chances are, he *can* take several turns till he casts Hex. (Longest I've seen is about 3 turns before casting Hex.) But thats if you're lucky, otherwise, he casts Hex on the first turn and it completely ruins your ability to buff up without flooding your deck with Dazed cards.

I'm not talking about Hex, I'm talking about how he usually takes his sweet time dealing damage. Hex doesn't bother me (against him at least, 3 sentries can lay down serious Daze). Weaknesses don't stack, in the sense of making you extra weak.

I don't think he's any more challenging that Gremlin Nob or the other bosses. They each can be a royal ass-pain if you meet them at the wrong time, but Chosen isn't some weird outlier.

I think what freaks people out is the fact that he's a normal enemy and not an elite, though I'm also of the mind that he's not particularly bad.

What a game, right? The dev published every profile thumbnail from the game for free use. I've got a few of my faves on the desktop at home.

You say you don't mind the Vulnerable, but that is precisely why he is doing so much DMG in your screenshot. That attack he is about to do would normally inflict about 23 DMG, but because of Vulnerable, its going to do 36 DMG.

I think of the Chosen as the 'If your deck sucks he's gonna take a lot of your health enemy', but if my deck is good, I'm usually ok, depends how my opening hand and following hand are.

Hey, where did they say that their working on ACT 3 content?, I'd like to read it. (Oh I just had a thought, why not bump the Chosen to Act 3 instead, lol)

Why am I picturing a bunch of deeply cowled wizards calling a meeting in a dark stone room and "promoting" the Chosen to ACT 3, and Gremlin Nob getting seriously pissed?

I kinda like that idea of moving the Chosen to Act 3 instead of keep him in 2.
