Vma poison round - FIX PLEASE

Ihatenightblades

Vma is a piece of cake for me the only time i die more than 3-4 times a round is when im on poison round and the spider round rigbt before it i believe.

Spider round dont care I usually die by not having those light things up when needed ( My Fault )

But this stupid poison round you fight on last boss is the dumbest designed mechanic.
When boss does his lil scream thing you have to get in one of those ads light so u dont die.

The thing is those stupid things have like 15k health!!! How am I supposed to not kill it by accident??

Cant use ANY aoe's or they die in seconds. Cant even use my spam abilty force shock or whatever because it does splash damage .

Cant heavt attack since im using lightening staff and that also does splash damage.

Now i complete this no matter what in under 15 tries but can we fix this stupid mechanic? Like why do these ads that you NEED only have 15k health ?

Get good @ZoS

If you kill one, the boss starts its scream. Kill one, but not the other. stay in the shield, and then kill it when the boss is done screaming.

Sounds like you have the finesse of a bull in a China shop

Don't use any AoEs (and take off that Grothdarr too) and try to attack the boss at range with single target skills

I don't have a problem with not not killing them. My nain problem with that fight is when the f****** Mushrooms go off inside the damn shield...

Have to be inside shield to not get 1 shot but then a shroom goes off and you can't avoid it so you get 1 shot anyway.

Avran_Sylt

use stuns/disorients/immobilizes to control where those adds go as well, if they get near a shroom. And if the shroom pops up because of a venom caller, well that's just bad luck.

I know the mechanics.. read my problem

Those mushrooms are the worst mechanic in the game.. the poison ticks WAY too fast and hard. Most of the time there is zero counter to getting caught in one, unless you are directly beside the green pool. And when they *** spawn right beside you, in the shield. So annoying.
Without them this round would be a cake walk tho. I think they just need to slow the poison down a bit

I heard nothing but horror stories about stage 7 before I did vMA. Honestly, I think it's one of the easier rounds. I have more trouble with round 4 with the triple archer spawn than I do the boss. I use Grothdarr as well and still don't kill the mender.

Just be more careful? I don't know.

shield and run to the closest pool, dodge roll is a nice way to cover some ground. I play magicka, so if stam I'm sure someone else would know.

My grothdarr killed them accidentally already too many times...

Kill the Lightning Caller closest to the Behemoth then build ultimate/resources while under the shield of the furthest one. Also if you're a mag class always swap to Valkyn before that round.

wolfxspice

you can interrupt the behemoth if you accidentally kill both, just dont let him hit you afterwards.

This suggests you are staying together with add close enough to boss - otherwise your splash damage from lightning heavy attack and Force Pulse wouldn't hit add. This also means you stand close enough to boss and can interrupt his scream Add definitely has more than 15k health total Be sure to kill her fast right after scream is interrupted, or you have very high chance to die from boss' Wrecking Bite or Staggering Stomp cause he will do one of those immediately and they are "one shots" if add is alive. Also if add is alive after scream, she enrages together with boss - I saw everything which Enraged Minder is capable of till I was killed by one of her attacks while I was suffering through this madness on magdk She gets very high damage resistance, plus activates lightning form and can use overload as final part of enrage - respect that little add

edit: found perfect screenshot of this round health of Minder, Volatile Poison tick per second - in this case I was just making screenshot before death cause stamina characters pretty much can't survive poison if not standing on top of cleansing pool
