Fun fact for getting the corrupted rare version of a hard map done: You can annul away all the mods, and just corrupt the map bare, it'll still be rare.

Probably not worth it, but kinda funny that it works.

When I do gauardians for the very first time in a new league it's always blue mods that don't buff the boss, then regal. Then you pray and Vaal it.

Tempting me to roll a Slayer here.

It wouldn't be so bad if he didn't have some nonsense knockback that causes an instant client desync and lands me dead center on a trap. I'm even wearing Kaom's Roots and he flings me randomly across the map.

Yah I didn't look too long for a picture. Still, this would give a decent run for money to quite a few builds doing first time guardian in the league.

It's not a knockback or a desync, the big green circle teleports you directly to the trap corners. Move out of it before it goes off.

Cripes, I feel like I would need to watch a youtube play-by-play to catch any of this stuff. In a game that has inherit weirdness from latency a forced player teleport seems like a bad idea. Especially one using a green circle in a fight where I have two green auras, blade flurry, green skeletons and green fireballs coming out of Izaro.

I've managed to not get murdered by it but it was always my least favorite trick in those fights.

Player auras used to be incredibly obnoxious. Think twice as complicated as most aura MTX. And every player ran like 8 auras before they changed them. Yeah.

I do not miss the days where every strong build required alpha howl so you could run even more auras at once.

izaro has a lot going on at once, but once you know what all of it is, he's surprisingly predictable and avoidable compared to a lot of bosses

The biggest weakness of Izaro is that he does not have a lot of health. Comparable to some of the later map bosses, really.

This is by far the most common cause of death on my wander. Last time I thought I had killed both already and went to kill teh zombie, only to find out that one of the alira's had slipped away behind the fire pit with like, 5% of her health left, just to snipe me with a DD at the right time.

Shaped spider forest is still fun though!

I did windripper farming last league, it was pretty good then. Started to do it this league too but then it turned into a wander :ssh:

Probably only if you're elementalist, minotaur can do enough damage to kill golems eventually in my experience (when you know, he stacks up 3 or 4 rockfalls on top of each other and your golems are too dumb to move away from your corpse. Dumbasses)

Awesome!

Ready for adventure!


this league is the first time i am doing guardians. did chimera mino and phoenix a few days ago and died like 3 times each and none felt great. found a nice ring upgrade and bought another slightly better one for my other slot and did chimera last night. only died once to his ring attack thing and everything felt a lot better. i think i am going to try to push to 92 for my last jewel and then try shaper for the first time :sweatdrop:

Your life is kind of low, but not too bad. You really shouldn't be getting oneshot a lot unless you roll completely ridiculous map mods. I would suggest trying to get a bit of chaos res though.

I'm having trouble with Minotaur's AI. I'm fighting him as golemancer and can't come close to a deathless run. I need to stay far enough away from the fight that I can't see him to avoid AOE so I can't see when he dives. And sometimes he dives to the golems so it's really difficult to determine where safe ground is especially with rocks falling and the shock gates active.

I remember when I used to solo him as HOWA I could just get in his grill and face tank and he never dove. Is there a way to get this to happen with golems?
