Psijic Ultimate “Undo” and Vateshran Hollows: Debunked.

Skullstachio

I got to the champions circle and regarding the “Ring Mechanic,” thought the Psijic ultimate “undo” would work similarly to sorcerers streak and Nightblades teleport strike to allow bypassing the ring mechanic.

Unfortunately, it “did not work.” undo literally cannot be used to pass through the ring for two reasons.

1. The speed at which the shades travel which is pretty slow guarantees that you cannot pass through as it is difficult to pinpoint exactly where you are going to be 4 seconds ago beforehand.
2. Ultimate upkeep while fine depending on the situation (Necromancers have a better ultimate upkeep with Necrotic potency/Deaden Pain.) Between rings will potentially result in a slightly significant drop in DPS, especially on veteran.

Tl:dr: No universal ring bypass, Sorcerers and Nightblades both are the only ones by far to my knowledge, with at least one ability catered to bypassing the ring mechanic.

All the instant death dps race mechanics are seriously annoying. Would be much better as just a very high damage attack that can be shielded block tanked no?

It would be an tolerable mechanic if targeting actually worked worth a damn and adds weren't coded to block the one you're trying to focus.

I've tried it with DK leap, too, but the game usually picks something 6 inches in front of me instead of the tab targeted, clear line of site add 20 meters away.

I tried the nightblade trick to; that seems to have been fixed too. Instadeath.

I mean, why not just follow the mechs?

Have to choose a different angle and get your tab target quickly than it doesn’t matter if adds get in the way. The worst part is flame spinner spawning outside the tether when you don’t have a ranged interrupt. RIP 🤣

He doesn't fire that many projectiles, dodge 2 skills dodge and it usually ends with hitting you only once.

Lol, that wording killed me

I don’t see any issue with that mechanic. The only mechanic that is poorly done (imo) is that there is no cap for how much Health the boss can regen while you’re in portal.... I do very fast runs so I tend to 250k-300k Health regenerated each time. People doing normally-paces runs will see boss health regen to 500k-1mil+ Health.

There should be a cap of 500k Health because it extends the fight for low-medium DPS players by a huge amount rn.
