Oh, I am a non-survivor as far as I am concerned. I was all dead before 6AM morning. So that is still in-game from my understanding. So just mark me down as that. hehehe As I said to @ratticus in my reply to him here, I think EVERY boss I encounter on my journey through the acts, they will ALL be a struggle to me.
Smashing Dominus was definitely a highlight, but I'd like to be able to do this consistently like I do the others before him. :)
Thanks for being a champion of PoE on steem. <3
I find beating one in hardcore actually takes the panic out of the encounter, and makes it easier on subsequent attempts. My trapper died in the mine just before Kaom/D'aresso, but he then went on to take them both, Avarius and Kitava without dying again.
Just the pressure making me play jittery I guess.
Yeah, I moved at a snail's pace in the mine beforehand and through Kaom's stronghold. I just did not remember that zone at all, so it was completely new to me. I had this crazy fear that it would be like that delve azurite mines where I walked in and it got dark and I died! I kept expecting to die just moving through the zone! That's the thing with Hardcore, it's so pressurized. I need to play a few weeks of SC just to decompress!
Isn't it just delicious though? Nothing like it. I even play hardcore on minecraft.
My boys play creative; but I love the rush of knowing everything is gone after one fatal error.
You are truly the masochist the Softcore players talk about! The thrill is in avoiding the fatal error...
:P
I kid you not, Matt, I am still all winded up from the last death. I haven't played all day or even started my Softcore journey!
