The devs removed one-shots on waves, thank you for that, but now everything became very interesting. In 90% of cases Lilith doesn’t let you pass the first stage, if you have less than 3 dmg amplifier stacks. If you do big dmg and have less, she’s just never appearing in the fight ring, landing outside and also making blood bubbles outside the ring, that one-shot you and can’t be destroyed if you play a melee char.
In rare cases, approximately 10% that you pass the first stage with less than 3 dmg amplifiers next things happen: Lilith is landing in the center of the platform at the beginning of the second stage and curses the entire platform, destroying it after. You can’t beat that and can’t evade that - enhanced one-shot. Lilith is basically ending the fight at will just at the start of the second stage. In addition one-shoting, homing fire balls of course + some bugs. And, of course, in some cases, Lilith stopes taking damage when inflicted dmg is too high. At the same time I’ve seen a few videos where streamers are passing the second stage without fire balls at all. So it’s not you are beating the Lilith but she decides when to die, we are not playing the game, but the game is playing us?
Are the devs mucking us? Or this is just another stupid attempt for the higher online.
I am not sure if diablo IV team understand what diabio is for and what diablo is supposed to be. One shot mechanic has never been part of it and it ruins the game. Fun is GONE!
It happens other bosses too (ex. Andariel).
Being a long term diablo fan i have to admit, that this is just a bad game from a dying company. A year has passed nothing changes, i guess it will stay this way. “fun” is not a purpose of devs, money is - minimum work - maximum profit.
The lead developer(s) of this encounter should be demoted, as well as the supervisor who signed off on it to go into the production build. You should not need to rely on broken and bugged builds to complete content, even at the high end.
Actually, tormented beast in the ice is a copy of Lilith or vice versa, with other skin, with the same mechanics, same fighting ring, boss always off screen and mobs appearing. They don’t even bother to create new bosses, just add more oneshots.
Avoiding being “1-shot” is mostly doable on Barbarian class. Have large damage reduction and 100k+ Life and you can survive most the hits. The other classes don’t have that advantage.
I agree one shot mechanics should not be in this kind of game …
you should get hit and in combo so you need to play your movement for example
but just getting one random hit and you dead is cringe…
I prefer game where you get hit HARD but you can manage to outplay it
Yes, I have actually just killed the Lilith with my bash barb in eternal world. U’r not fighting the hardest boss in the game, but you are running around from homing one-shoting balls and hoping for Lilith not to get bugged in the end. This is definitely not how the BIG FIGHT should look like.
I stopped trying to kill lilith since its only possible if you play the big hitter classes with certain forced builds by guides. This is no way to play the game. If the game wont allow players to complete everything in the game by their own and without guides outside of the game… Its poorly constructed game and needs to change.
Lilith is just idiotic, everything else in the game goes super easily, world bosses are big fat fart in the wind, butcher dies in one to two hits of its own and yet I cant kill lilith because its attacks wont register thorns most of the time meaning I need to deal the dmg myself which isnt great when playing thorn builds.
Even my sorc couldnt complete lilith unless going for the most retarded build ever; perma flameshield. Its no way of playing.
SO much needs to be worked with and the only thing they have time to concetrate on is fixing old bugs in a rush only to create more bugs as they go. As long as money milking tools are functioning nothing else matters.
Just avoided Lilith, but now with resplendent spark drop I tried killing her, but this is some crap game, fighting Lilith is like super mario, have to dodge 1 shot kills, spend hours on it but they want you to spend weeks I think, No, came to a conclusion not to buy this game no more ! fuuuuu
I did at least 10 tries Uber Lilith since release day so I dont bother it. Just remove stupid one shot mechanic and it has never been part of diablo.
Lilith is not the boss, oneshoting balls and dmg multiplayer stacks are the boss, so you have to only use few meta build and special gear to avoid this. But noone cares about this, the new expansion have to be sold for idiotic price with 0 value.
Lilith is a boss made for some hard hitting classes if you are playing not one of those classes, why bother your not going to be able to kill her.
I suggested in another post to ADD some BALLISTAS as an intermediary stage, obviously out of the frame.
Who’s with me! Vote pls!
#oneshotmechanicsFTW
So thats why i cant kill her omfg… and just when i finally got my character up to dealing and tanking enough damge to kill this shit.
Thanks blizz for bugging the boss to hell so its not even possible to kill her without doing the “mechanics” part in the fight wtf is this shit? fix now or i wont ever buy a product from u guys ever again.
Edit to calrify what i meant: i can almost one shot the boss on the two phases but for some reason the boss bugs out and just jumps do the wave mechanic and repeats until well i die and when this happens i cant even get a single hit in to progress the boss.
I totally and whole hearted agree with this, the mechanic’s for this fite is so lame, when reaching her “Dodgeball phase”
I nuke her down in like 5 sec, both phases, and then I die die die die to stupid mofo dodgeball.
No matter how “Top end my gear is” the stacking debuff is ridiculous.
I am ok with having to notice when platform goes, and her flight over which don’t touch me anyway.
The whole dodgeball phase is the worst piece of shit crap mechanic
I’ve seen in any game, and is a simple fail.
SHAME ON which ever Dev was making this crap up.
