Pirates of my ass

not being able to kill this boss is a pure skill or maybe build issue.
And looking at yours I find quite a lot of problems with it. You have zero budget but try to build crit and bleed?. I'm quite sure pure bleed will perform better. Go resolute technique and maybe take rage or something else not so heavily focused on investment. This will free up a lot of points to get better dmg... And please cap your resistances with gear. you 94 but this is all the gear you got? You don't even have MS on boots. invest 20c and you will get better items for multiple slots... If you're SSF do more shipments with crimson bars. The gear depending on the ports is quite good. Current Build: Penance Brand

" I‘d venmo some dollarinos to see some actual gameplay of some of those people Genuinely, I think it would be worth every penny The opposite of knowledge is not illiteracy, but the illusion of knowledge.

" just checked his gem setup and passive tree, we don't need a vod bro is playing with a 5 link bladestorm in the weapon, 4 link lacerate in the chest, 4 link double strike in the helmet and 4 link cleave in the gloves. I've never seen anything like this and still using le heup at level 94... perseverance without grace OR determination, not a SINGLE aura, kiara's determination for some reason? probably a new player that lacks common sense Last edited by auspexa on Aug 13, 2024, 8:03:12 AM

" I noticed this very early on in the league as well, was literally sat laughing my ass off as the enrage phase from this "boss" literally just nudged me around gently on my jank AF half built Zenith jugg with no defences on day 2. Whenever my ship gets captured it's a great day, we do love free gold + runes. Souls along a conduit of blood, from one vessel to the next.

The fight just isn't fun. At all. The dude is a giant bullet sponge beyond any of the map bosses I have been facing as of yet. Add in the stupid "Oh look he goes invulnerable" mechanic and it is just tedious. Yes, I'm a filthy casual and I don't spend 12+ hours on the game min/maxing my build. I play builds I haven't played before and don't give 2 shits about meta. I assume I'm not the only one but I do enjoy seeing the snide comments here about how the issue is definitely the players' fault and has asbsolutely nothing to do with the encounter mechanic aspect being dumb and boring.
Spending 10+ minutes to kill the boss and just jogging back and forth dodging crap is really not something I want to do. These encounters are scripted on some level and isn't pure RNG, that much is proven by how often the encounters occur until you either pay them off or beat the captain. I had it happen 4 times in a row on zero risk shipments. I kept abandoning it as the encounter is very boring and I really don't like the fight and don't want to do it. But until you either pay or fight, it'll just keep happening it seems. This fight isn't fun, the boss is waaaaay too tanky, the mechanics of the fight just get very boring. Maybe its fun for masochists? That isn't me and I don't like the Elden Ring games so maybe it just reminds me of things I find very boring in games. Seems like the boss should scale with the town or something as opposed to just being spongier than all of the mapping bosses from the get-go. | |

" Did I say something about his damage outright? I said the fight isn't fun. Maybe your build handles the encounter without issue. I tested early on and found that the anchor one shots Evasion builds at a certain point and I assume that is by design. So at least evasion builds without high (or any in my case) passive regen and little to no armor/phys reduction probably shouldn't just stand the anchor circle. I blame MMOs for training me on not standing in the bad circles though so its likely I would still dash out even if I didn't have to. But thank you for pointing out another flaw in the design and confirming part of what I am saying. " Tell me you're boasting without telling me you're boasting. Again, this is part of the problem. Maybe he's extremely resistant to elemental damage and crits, which is my build, and not so much against whatever build you have. But thanks for the confirmation on another flaw in the fight. I'm not saying the fight is impossible, I'm saying its not fun. I can and have done the fight, I just find it very boring and not fun to do. It feels like the game is forcing me to do this fight instead of giving me a real choice on it. Even as I type this response, my next 2 shipments have been seized by pirates, once again confirming that they are forcing the encounter. Its a very stupid mechanic in my view. I don't want to engage, but if I am going to be forced to, the fight could be altered to be less dumb. | |

The anchor should remind you of how you should approach almost any boss fight in poe. There is a clear and loud voice line and all you have to do is use your movement skill at the end of it. That goes for eater blast, that goes for sirus(ok that one is much more difficult) and so on... If you cannot dodge the anchor get better at the game. Mechanics like that are supposed to oneshot you...(not that the anchor really oneshots that hard^^)
And i can only guess that being immun to chill and freeze also comes in handy, even though i don't know that for sure because i was already ailment immun at the point i encountert him. Get syndicate boots craft, pantheon or whatnot... Last edited by Strickl3r on Aug 13, 2024, 12:35:32 PM

I love the pirate boss for easy loot and gold and his arena is a nice one.
