So what do people think of Dominus?
|
i also think they need to change it so he cannot cast his blood thing until you're up on the platform, or something.
lvl 83 i almost died helping a guy kill 2nd form on cruel. we entered map and i didn't realize we were not starting fight from start and i nearly died just walking to the boss since you can't leap slam up the ledge or anything. |

If GGG intends to use bleed damage on bosses and monsters from now on, they should introduce bleeding resistance on gear.

I think its a clusterfuck. Too much crap on the screen, too much going on. I agree with some of the others, vaal and piety are really well designed fights, but Dom just throws so much shit at you, there's really nothing you can do but hope you can facetank him and leech enough life to overcome the damage. Yeah, you can TRY to avoid his attacks, but between the sheer amount of stuff being thrown at you and the amount of lag, its kinda pointless. I'm not even going to bother fighting him in merciless, what's the point? Why is there no reward for beating the final boss??? Dom should have been the act4 boss, he feels like he was just tacked on to the end to kick us in the balls. I miss Piety being the final boss. It feels like it should have ended there.

" Did cruel Dominus twice on Nemesis (once solo, once with a friend), did many dry runs and tested out his damage with SC toons before i attempted him on nemesis. The key point is to keep Dominus enfeebled at all times,without enfeeble, 75% lightning res would still get you one shotted as his fist can hit up to 2.5k dmg. Quicksilver flasks + topaz flasks works wonders to gap close and hit him when his soul sparks are almost ending. Use the obstacles to dodge souls sparks. Try to keep dominus at the bot side of the map as the miscreations are less likely to hit you there. Also keep TPs up for refreshing. The fight becomes very trival with 2 guys though, 1 guy takes aggro from souls sparks while the other hits him from the back. Use viper strike for maximum effectiveness.

Level 63 1h phy Crit dagger - dead 7 toons to Desync - Starhub best ISP Singapore |

Best fight by far in the game. It's such an epic long battle just as it should be. Lots of stages, form changes, crazy mechanics you have to learn QUICK... I love it!

Like the hard fight, but feels like there is a huge memory leak in that fight. From entering the area, changes in phase, then once you finally down the boss seems to be a very high chance of game crashing. Also with all the extra effects and rain it's a FPS nightmare.

What kind of damage do the suicide explosions do? I've determined that they cant be blocked, I'm not sure about anything else. It seems to be a run of the mill "run until it expires" type move, which isnt a particularly satisfying boss strategy, though GGG certainly seems to like it.
