Curse mages and aimed shot rogues are overpowered.

[Kiritobozz]

Hi there, I would like to point out the fact that these two mob types in the current twilight expansion are simply too strong. I have tried several builds and strategies to counter the curse and aimed shot attacks, but it simply came down to keeping your distance from these mobs and hoping that u won't get one-hit killed over and over again. I myself am a rogue with 5700+ hp and 3500+ armor, so I think the developers should really take a look at this since this issue still has not been solved.

I would like to read your opinions and ideas on this matter.

10k Hp and 6k armor and still gets one shot from curse.
Hope there is 2-3sec pre-warning before it comes.

[Irg]

Well i usually dont even see the worning
caus the notification of me picking stuff up is pushing back the curse worning...
Or should it be "died mysteriously"

[extrapayah]

cursed captain's electric minions also OP... too contrast compared with other minibosses' attacks

Wow, so even warriors get one-shotted?

[Zaizor]

I noticed it's more two-shotted. I see I get cursed. I see a giant tick in health, and then another. Then I yell angrily, and try to decide if I should burn an ankh, restart, or leave...

I have avoided the curse by using the Horn of Renew INSTANTLY, as soon as I see I'm cursed... and even then, I walk the line of death closely.

Just like dysentery in Oregon Trail... I wish I could leave an epitaph... Here lies Zaizor, my curse was loving Arcane Legends so much...

Yeah, I noticed that too. But the fact that mobs can do way more damage than boss attacks just doesn't make any sense.

We went back to the old times when 1 combo kills, I think it's time for a new swing with the new items that arrived, which difference is huge.

I think it is fine as it is. After all, these are only two things that can get you killed (not literarly).
Aimed shot counter for mages that work for me:
- Arcane shield
- Necro shield
- Run out of reach
- Attack: fireball and ice will interupt attack (if you hit the right guy)
This usually saves your skin.
Regarding curse, I don't really have the counter. Especially when DOT attack is in place.

use gale force with 10/10 mastery it will remove curse

[Terminhater]

Wouldn't a DOT immunity pet work well against the curse ?

[Avaree]

Also try pets that provide immunity to DoT damage. Nilbog is a great pet, (easy on the budget too,) and glowstik.

I do appreciate a mage in my party that uses gale w 10/10.

I dont like gale force is a suicide galling through mobs and stuck for 2 seconds, i do have glowstix yes .... it is still not 100%.. Arcane shield shouldn't it be able to block curse?

As a rogue i prefer to use my old drag hunter dagger, it save a lot ur pt when u can stun lock those skelly mage & rogue

Mastery gale force work even not charged. You will hit the wall or stuck and got killed (maybe) if you charge it. Blank point save us even got a curse.

you dont need to charge the gale force galling through mobs..gale force mastery still works on uncharged skill..and do u know the uncharged gale also stun mobs in graveyard too?it is not a suicide if u know how to use that skill very well especially against Krax or Ferrix

Thanks for the many tips and tricks that may help to counter these mob attacks. However, I myself may be able to afford the dragon hunter blades or a DOT immunity pet, but many others can't. As for gale force, I don't want to keep leaving graveyard or mausoleum until I'm in a party with a mage using this skill. And above all else, it still doesn't make any sense for a mob to have a much higher damage output than a boss. If even a tank can get one-hit killed by a curse, then there is definitely something wrong with these mob skills.

I will say it again, best pet to use for players on a budget is nilbog. Atm he is very affordable 45k in cs. Save his aa for those curse mages, use aa just before you attack, you got 5 seconds of immunity from curse. Nilbog also removes cocoons (thanks for the tip Ravagerx). If you want a baby glowstik, use vlad as host pet, nilbog's aa and nightshades HB.

Without a pet who's aa that provides immunity to DoT damage, easiest way to avoid curse is to stay out of range and use bow and aimed shot on mages (if you can see them, they hide in maus maps).

I dont mind the difficulties of these maps, but, I do mind getting one hitted without any notice, one hits happening way out of red zones, getting notice that you have been cursed as you die.
