Maelstrom Ice Stage: way too annoying?

    What I hate the most is that every mob has snare/slow. That is so annoying. Looks like game developers can't think of anything else than snare-attacks.

    Second place. The ice stage boss knockback that can be CC-break but doesn't give CC invulnerability.

    Third place. Reverse knockback attacks. Yes, those attacks that hit from the back but instead of pushing the character to the front they get pulled to the back. Or attacks from the front that 'pulls' the character to the enemy.

    Stage 5 is easy, stage 8 round 4 is my bane.

    BTW, the mama giant is not a DPS race.

    Unless you paid for it or something silly like that.

    It's simply l2p, I can do the levels in my sleep.

    The only bad mechanic in VMA is the RNG drops.

    am I missing something? what do you mean by "paid for it"?

    If you don't dps her she will destroy all plataform and you eventually die because most of the effective builds won't handle the damage.

    "If you don't dps fast enough, you will die" this is the conception of dps race friend.

    Paid a friend to do it for you, quite a common thing to have done back in the day.

    Just in case anyone reading this doesn't know, this is account sharing and it is against the TOS.
    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    9 is crazy easy now. 5 is the bane of my existence. Once I am done with 5 and 7, it becomes super fun. 6 sometimes kills me once or twice too.

    I actually just hate the flame knight...chain lag into its standard and ground flame dot = dead every single time. Nothing you can do. Sometimes it one shots for fun. 90% snare. It's crap.

    @DRXHarbinger Lol that combo doe. The Standard into the chain pull almost immediately.

    Stage 5 is where most get stuck . But then i'd say the worst is:
    1) Takes too long for what it usually rewards, after many runs is boring af.
    2) Stage 7 is pure luck, had 6 poison spores ( in a row ) exploding inside blue bubble.

    My understanding is she only breaks platforms in 33% intervals, thus not a dps race. Clear adds and then work on her. I always want to be on the platform with 2 sigil last.

    EDIT
    Poison shrooms suck.

    Ice stage is pretty rough, don't be afraid to use those sigils on the boss. Especially the defense one.

    I always used sigils on Stage 5. Always. I do it right on the last platform, so I can burn her down with defensive sigil and power sigil active without worrying if being gimped or being overwhelmed by ads.

    No you are wrong. She destroys a platform at 75% and 50% then its a dps race on the final platform. The first 2 platforms you can wander around if you like

    vma would be alot more enjoyable if it wasn't wasn't riddled with performance issues.
    Everyonce in a while for some reason it runs properly and then it's actually almost kinda fun although round 9 is impossible for me as i said in other threads. I've accepted that (till next time). I'm not to fussed about maelstrom weapons lol.

    Can we please have bar swapping to work as intended by now. If i press the button i need it to swap right away. Not two times in a row after a 5 second delay.

    Just swallow your pride and use the shield buff when the mobs are too much

    You're not on a live stream trying to entertain an audience. Youre there to get a job done so use those buffs whenever you can.

    People then say "but you get less points" but you get even less points for dying lol
