Who are you fighting? Playful Darkness?
Nah, I cast it before the fight. He still just runs past them.
What are the buffs on Jinx?OK I see that you are fighting PD. Yes he will ignore summons to a certain point, but here are some strategies that I found worked on him. This was on Unfair but without the 2x crit multiplier.
1. SWAMP him with summons. Like, fill his entire local area with skeletons. He MAY ignore them at times but it will help to get his attention.
2. Deny his ability to charge - his charges are what really destroys targets. Use as many Selective Siroccos as you can on his position in order to exhaust him so that he can't charge anymore. Charging is what allows his AI to ignore local targets and pursue backliners, he really doesn't want to lose his full attack iteratives.
3. Try to get him to target a character with the mythic ability that gives them a couple of turns of immortality. They will eventually die but this will buy you a lot of time. Remember that the arcane spell 'Blink' isn't bypassed by any form of True Seeing or similar ability, so its very useful to deny his attacks.
4. Debuff him, this is extremely important. Use the glasses that give you a natural 20 on your dispel roll. You can have two of these per fight if you use the ability on the desired character, THEN rest - the ability will stick, and you have a use of the item left.
5. At the start of the fight, try to use line-of-sight to stop him from charging your squishy characters, I had limited success with this but eventually he charged my tank instead of my backline.
6. Use REACH to discourage him from attacking your main character and any other important damage dealers. By swamping him with skellies, he may frequently choose to attack them instead of your reach character. Lunge is absolutely clutch here, and obviously you can use reach weapons.
7. Use as many AC-lowering debuffs as you can, such as hexes. Works well together with Jinx.
He is very defeatable even on the higher difficulties, you just have to really bring your A-game.
You can of course choose to use swarm strategies on him such as Creeping Doom, this is basically cheating IMO because the swarms are immune to his damage, but whatever, fight cheese with cheese I guess.
This is a good summary and has been my experience as well - it's great for killing bosses, and in TB in general, but is just too much work for too little benefit otherwise - easier to let the pet carry you to full attacks.
You can come back whenever in Act 4 (before going for the mines). Maybe even at the start of Act 5, but not sure.
Heh, before the Mythic Charge damage entry was separate. Don't think the Devs intended it to be rolled multiple times per hit, when they rolled it into other damage instances.
Well, Choorging's been a bumpy ride for sure. There were a couple of months were it was quite reliable, but one of the recent patches seems to have broken stuff again.
From my Steam page:
If I were to guess: +2 is Bane, +5 is weapon Enchantment with the old bugged GMW and +4 is the old, bugged Shroud of Eternal Hunger shirt bonus.
Wat
Yes, doubly so:
I am pretty certain that's because of TTT. It is not fixed in the base game. Your wording implied that it was.
That's what I was thinking, but I wasn't sure if it would be redundant or complementary.
Because it is a puzzle. You have all the necessary information to solve the puzzle: the enemies' characteristics and abilities, your party's abilities and spells, and so on. Then, using the appendage to which you eat, you solve the puzzle, beat the boss, get some dopamine, some knowledge, and delay Alzheimer's by a day.
It does not, though. Dex has a little less damage - though in vanilla the difference isn't even big, as you can stack Dex bonus from Reduce Person with dice increase from Legendary Proportions/Frightful Aspect - but more Initiative, AC & Reflex. Dex characters also have an easier time mounting their pets and can Charge much more reliably with smaller size. So Dex characters can often kill enemies before they even get to act.
So is Arcane Accuracy. And Prescient doesn't do much if you use Shatter Defenses or are Invisible to the enemies. Still, Eldritch Archers need to make do with it.
Switching between modes IS a toggle. As Holding is.
