just fought a boss in titan quest who can kill me in one hit, and read online that you need an unrealistic amount of stun resistance for this difficulty to be able to survive him. [italian chef kissing fingers] epic.

which boss is it?

Always funny when the unassuming sidequest boss is almost final boss tier in loving your poo poo up

yeah tq was built around the idea that it's a ~real 3d game~ so the combat should be all dynamic with you moving around to avoid stuff instead of just clicking on everything. sounds cool on paper but in practice it's insanely annoying and fucks over melee characters hard

modern 3d diablolikes make it very clear when you're about to get hosed, like the damage rings around explosions in d3. in titanquest you just get killed lol

I still play diablo 2 but for some reason on both my poo poo laptops the game takes 20 minutes to start. Sometimes I start it up even if I dont want to play because hell by the time it starts i might

Typhoon was already painful as a melee/caster hybrid.
For all the annoying things like over reliance on potions, melee being hardest and my storage being over half full in enhancers I can't stop playing it.

She gets weaker versions of every other ascendancy though so you can do some cool hybrid stuff, which is what Scion is for anyway

Spark was my fave spell before the Great Shotgunning Nerf so I'm glad they buffed it again. It's replaced Fire Trap and Fire Totem as my main leveling skill.

theorycraft:

scion can go assassin for a permanent increased base critchance, and deadeye for more and better projectiles = owns with ball lightning

you can do two ball lightnings, one with lmp for packs and one with slower projectiles for bosses

ive been using ball lightning to generate power charges since it hits so many times, then my spark is super lethal. its cool how you can be creative like that

the lab is way more fun when you take it slow and find all the secret giant loot chests instead of going in overleveled and making a beeline for the boss, ive died a few times but i've found some major upgrades
