Ytzara, Blood Oracle - Lifesteal vs Minions Problem
|
This boss has very strong lifestyl. If it's possible to pull minions out of her circle, but when she hits with her hands it's impossible to pull all minions aside, she still hits someone anyway.

Yep.
Stumbled upon this boss duo in tier 7 map "Sealed vault" with my minion build. Just horrible encounter. Wasted almost two hours testing different combinations with spectres and other minions and eventually just "surrendering" every time because that bitch just heals constantly. Tried taking the passive that reduces enemy life regen by 75% in my presence but ofc that didn't work (she's leeching not regenerating). It would be ok(ish) if she had only ONE special attack that leeches but no, every non-basic attack heals her and she uses them constantly. And the leech amount... jesus. I rate this fight "uninstall / 10". |

So just running into this nonsense again, I'm not even playing a minion build for damage in itself (minions serve some utility), I'm doing werewolf infernalist.
I can't deactivate my hellhound because it's made like that for some reason. Sure. I deactivated all of my skeletons (I partly scale damage with the %increase/minion) so only the hellhound and my brutus' brain wolves were left. The life leech WORKS AGAINST UNDAMAGABLE MINIONS. She just immortally scaled against my wolves that she couldn't hurt. WHY. How does she leech without dealing damage? In the end after fighting for like 5 minutes, running out of flasks and dying (even with skeletons down) I unspecced pounce altogether and now she was a little bit managable. I'm actually OK with certain builds not being able to do certain content, as long as that content is side content with specialized rewards like this. It's fine. But the reasons why I can't do side content has to be clear. It's absolute nonsense that she leeches from targets that can't be hurt. I do not understand why and I am not going to PoEDB to read up why when the game does something esoteric that doesn't compute. I presume it's coded with the leech not depending on the damage (deal damage + gain life by target hit) but it does not make sense. This is design being cute, and makes no sense as expressed; it's just obtuse and frustrating. I don't need to be able to fight everything, but I want to have clarity as to why I can't beat the things I can't. This is a hard enough fight if you have to turn minions off to fight her. Fix Brutus' Brain interaction with this. |

same issue, no way to kill her. did several times nearly ~60 mil damage to her, but she always reheals. have undamagable minions as well.
no fun, should be fixed. |

Same issue right now :( I've done 90million damage to her so far.

Either the "undamageable" minions are implemented through the ass (like they do take damage but health doesn't decrease), or this boss isn't actually leeching, but having some unique skill healing passively with leech visuals. Latter is more likely.

I can confirm this boss made Minion build winnable. I am playing Varashta, burst her down to 40%, and then 1 hit from her. A single AOE hit with my minions, shes back to 100
