OFFENSE is the best defense and the most fun as well!
I shake my head in disbelieve whenever I see players in softcore with 9K Life or 12K ES. Why the fuck do you need all that for? Are you trying to bore the bosses or yourself to death?
My witch is standing tall at a glorious 3.5K life and 1K ES, yes you read that correctly 3.5K life and 1K ES and have cleared everything in the game including the most feared The Feared Maven encounter (Shaper with elder + cortex and the rest). Now you are shaking your head in disbelieve asking how the fuck is that possible? because if the boss or anything for that matter dies, instantly or with two hits you wont have to deal with nasty attacks/spells, the fights ends faster and you are having the most fun time. Defense/shield/high hp/es is great early league when gear is not available but to take this stance over a month later is silly. I have three phones, Blizzard. Three f***ing phones.

its sensible to play this way but its also a design failure on GGGs part, there is pretty much no point in creating interesting and dynamic boss fights if the predominant method to engage with it is to destroy it instantly.
They may as well just put a cube in with a certain life value :p, note this isn't a dig at the players for playing this way its the path of least resistance so to speak. |

" Wou, did you install some epic items to skip invul phases which now pretty much every endgame boss has? It is nice that you can get shaper from 100% to 75% hp in instant, he will play another 50000attacks anyway just because bosses do what bosses do. biggest offender is itzaro in uber lab, i take all his hp away in single attack and he will play another 10 to 30 attacks. The only reasonable phase is the last one, where smashing him hard actually ends the fight. I would be curious if this changes depending on server, maybe for example if you play cali or texas server it might actually end the phase. do report me your findings please. For example fastest uber elder kills are around 1minute 40second, even with all perfect rolls mirrored items and even with items from exploits that do 10x more damage than items you can currently make in league. So i'd claim ehp is not as useless as one would like to claim, even in rituals some nasty stuff can hit you in the knee and those are time-limited not damage limited too. What i liked to do is: Hit 100level with great ehp->drop little bit of ehp to double my damage because deaths do not matter anymore-> profit I feel pretty, Oh, so pretty,
I feel pretty, and witty and gay, And I pity Any girl who isn’t me today! | |
I had 9k ES on my build. The point was to never die so I could level past 91. Didn't work and I die regardless so lost 5k ES and just clear t16 maps full speed before i can even see things die.
Jokes on me as I don't find any loot worth anything and I am playing for nothing. No loot or levels. |

" "Be more like me, you see. I am faster, stronger and better, and my way is THE way". "Fun" is subjective. I know that's hard to grasp for some people. Don't worry, empathy and a greater understanding of other human beings are usually developed around puberty. Can't be that many years, right? ;) Bring me some coffee and I'll bring you a smile.
