Common Monster Drowning Orbs

Need to get rid of the River Hag's drowning orb. It can be cast on your location from off screen at times, gives no cues for the most part. This would all be fine if it was not for the 1 death and map is over design but it is too punishing when it can end your whole map ignoring any defenses you have in place.

you got several seconds of time to just not stand in the orb though

I would not say several like maybe 3 seconds with no cues..

if you don't take that giant blob of water as a cue, then yeah no cues - also 3 seconds are several seconds

This means nothing if you're frozen, surrounded, stunned, or any of the other 50 ways for you to get cc'd in this game. The drowning orbs on normal mobs is straight up cancer.

If you are surrounded, frozen and stunned - you deserve the death.

How is that even an argument you thought would be valid lol. It happens. To every single person playing this game. Breach? Ritual? Deli? Either you skip those encounters, or you're full of it. The latter is more likely.

You have several seconds and there are several cues

Big blue ball moving around
Mob with blue hands
Whirlpool around as well



Don’t stand in bad = succeed



Not everythi that kills you needs to be removed. Pay attention to these things and you won’t die to it next time.


You did t17s so im guessing you took drowning orbs as it’s a free braidead mod. And the ones in PoE 2 are about 50x more noticeable

just backing up my claims, forgot to set the recording to 60 fps, 30 seems like it was the default setting

I think it’s fine but needs an instance cap on both abilities. Sometimes you get a lot of packs on one screen where there’s 10 vortexes and 5 orbs on the screen and as melee you’re just getting zoned to high heaven and can’t actually kill any, but there’s a rare with life regen and one with invul aura so you need to kill them to finish the map.
