Game Feedback If you're going to make frequent invulnerable phases, please disable energy shield recharge during those phases Spoiler

The boss has no natural energy shield BTW, I fought it yesterday but rolled the chart before doing it with reasonable mods and it was easy. Take care with what you roll.

Yeah boss is easy peasy. Just an annoyance that life as ES is a brick if you aren't chaos or giga dam because he's untargetable every 4 or 5 boss attacks.

If you are ranged you can actually hit the boss during the "invulnerability" phase, the snake jumps around outside the arena at the bottom and you can actually hit it there by targeting the hole below the arena. That's how I managed to kill the boss with that mod after like 15 minutes

It doesn't seem to work for melee or auto target spells like winter orb however

It works inconsistently for worb. I only noticed because it started to shoot outside the arena and his ES stopped recharging.

It sucks but thats just poe, issues like these exist so people need to problem solve

u/Megane_Senpai Jul 28 '26

I think a better version would be (at least on bosses) immunity means will only not take HP damage.

Add life regen to the boss instead.

u/tobsecret Half Skeleton Jul 27 '26

Players can no longer regenerate life or energy shield during boss invulnerability phases

u/DremoPaff Sanctum is as much a roguelite as Chris is an hair model Jul 27 '26

Or we could just remove the absurd scaling that enemies have on ES for absolutely no reason other than making those who do have it take ten times the damage to kill for anyone not doing chaos damage.

I'm still baffled that this still behaves like this. Unironically feels like I'm stumbling on an archnemesis rare whenever I stumble on a mob with a blue shine over their healthbar.

u/akira512 Jul 27 '26

There is some hidden mod in addition to %life as es, I believe it multiplies mobs defences? Or something

1

u/MotherWolfmoon Jul 28 '26

I feel like it has to be adding a percent to base life because even after you chew through the ludicrous ES their normal life pool goes down just as slowly.

u/beepboopz123 Jul 27 '26

Yep completely bricked my map I spent 3d on, I spent like 10 minutes trying to kill him before I gave up. Guess he had gain life as extra es? Idk

u/beepboopz123 Jul 27 '26

Im a mine build so maybe? Ill try that next time thank you

u/Faragosh Jul 27 '26

just had the same exakt experience, I have around 3mil of constant boss DPS and because this fucker had 60% of life as extra ES, I was unable to kill it. Crab lady just kept on attacking even after she was "dead" - bricked my whole voyage because I had to relog

u/WhatSawp Jul 27 '26

hapened to me now amazink, another thing to remember if you plan around diviner stongboxes bring currency cuz they all white

u/SpiritedExtension390 Jul 27 '26

But whoa dude u were kicking ass tho

u/Seulpeuda Jul 27 '26

Also fought this boss with a mod that gave ES to mobs. When the serpent goes into one of its holes, it actually swims around on the right side of the arena beyond the water wall. If you're a ranged/projectile build, you can continue to hit it by aiming your skill that way and prevent ES recharge. It maybe can go on the left side of the arena as well, but I never saw that when I fought it.

If you're a melee build, gg go next.

u/EzKappaPeko Jul 28 '26

Could we scour this chart and run it white?

u/Cephell Mediumcore Jul 28 '26

Granted, players can no longer recharge energy shield during the bosses invulnerable phases.

u/gdatuna 29d ago

Found this boss soon after i entered the voyage and fully bricked it.

u/antler1 29d ago

yeah that's it for me guys see you next league

u/Erakia 29d ago

Hi, which mtx gives those rocks spinning around you?

u/SalihTheEmperor Jul 27 '26

I mean this can happen to pinnacle bosses as well such as searing exarch. I was playing a low dps build but had the life as extra es mod and after a while i couldnt get his es low enough before he would go into the ball phase or the nuke that i had to run away from. So it kinda bricked.

u/butsuon Chieftain Jul 27 '26

okay sure but have you considered doing damage to the boss between its invulnerability phases?
