A PvE player is supposed to avoid a 1-2 second 1 shotting aoe.
A WWW player is considered uncapable of avoiding a 5,75 second aoe for half his health.
Many bosses in dungeon have Attacks that oneshot most classes.
Now most of them can beeasily evaded….(kohler to say one)
There are a pair that i can t seems to evade on reaction (i have other strategies that works), but i read many players can so i’d like some suggestions.
worst 3 for me are:
1) infamous legendary shaman fireball (fotm final boss lava stage) despite i can evade this just strafing often, i can t roll it on reaction…if i try i get hit even if i started evasion.
2) malrona (TA), its really hard to evade it 100%
3) cliffside legendary archdiviner 1st battle (its easier later) hammer jump.
It seems again to hit me despite i m rolling.
Now i have a decent gaming connetion…..do i miss something?
Some players affirm they can evade it 100% on reaction maybe i miss some sort of animation/clue.
thank you…
P.S. not saying those are hard or not….i m asking about evading them “on reaction” not on prediction.
Lots of bosses have attacks that you must be a cyborg to dodge. It’s bad game design, nothing more nothing less.
Take malrona off the list though. She has a buff called predatory instinct or something (Blue icon with white boot in it) when that wears off is when she uses the attack. Youve got plenty of time to predict when you’ve got to get moving.
I run a fairly glass-y gear/trait setup as an Ele, leaving me with low HP and armor, and don’t get 1-shotted by any of these.
The big trick when it comes to dodging is working out the “tell” and watching the animations carefully. Trying to dodge on reaction won’t work – by then it’s usually too late.
Malrona’s shouldn’t be that hard – she has two attacks, and will alternate between the two. For the cone-AoE, just run through to behind her just before she uses it (melee) or far enough away (ranged) – you don’t even need to use a dodge. The circle AoEs are much simpler and actually can be reaction-dodged as you see the venom clouds fly out.
On top of that, if you’re dodging with double-tap, change it to be on a key.
