Priests of the Sun Are Frustrating

I’m tired of being shot by these things off screen. Their beam goes through walls/obstacles, stays activated too long, and the length of the beam is too far. If my minions aggro this thing off screen and I don’t know because it’s off screen they almost always kill me. Please tweak this bs enemy.

You really asking dude how much res he have? There is could be 2 types of questions:
Did you cap the res?
& Did you overcap the res?

Due to the fact that you don't know how the game works, I would assume you mean "did you cap the res?".

Well, if you check his profile - you'll se not only challenges but achievements. One of the achievement he has is "Elemental Aegis" : Have at least 75% resistance to Fire, Cold, and Lightning.

So, he know how resistance works and blaming the game not because of resistances but because the specific design for following mobs he mention in the post.
Don't be that type of person who think that only him know how to play this game, please.

Where are poe2 stats on the profile again?
this is just one of MANY mobs that shoot from from off screen. personally i think its a horrible design choice.

but this is also a small window in the psychology of the people designing this game.

they want to kill you.

the problem is the player often looks at many of the ways the devs have dreamed up to kill as BS.

take for example the chaos plants. players screamed about this and they changed it after they hired a statistics position and saw the raw numbers. why did it require such a measure before they changed?

they want to kill you.

Just because people are complaining, doesn't mean it's legit.

It does because it's EA and people are providing feedback with complaining. If you satisfied with game - stop sitting 24/7 on forum and whining about whining
It is pretty annoying, yes, but the best counterplay to stuff like that is to get right up to them.

The further away you are from them, the faster the beam can sweep across the map to get you due to "angular velocity." If you're within melee distance to them, provided they aren't cracked out with speed mods, they can be run around quite easily because of said angular velocity and the base of the beam being able to cover less distance per second.

I don't mean to sound pretentious. It's just my strat to get rid of them.
It was working the same in POE1 before but not too long ago GGG stopped adding mobs that could kill you offscreen and changed AI for existing ones, if I’m not mistaken. It was bad for HC players especially not only because you could be onshoted because mistake you’ve made but even if you didn’t see mobs and have no chance to avoid it
I guess, it existing in POE2 because they started working on POE2 mobs and AI before they’ve change it in POE1.

Hopefully, they fixed it
