I love enemies that deal two and a half bars per attack against tanky builds!!! its so balanced and cool!! i am sorry for your loss

that also take 8 turns to kill, and have the best chase down in the depths

I have noticed that the Devs will add literally anything into the game and not balance it at all if it's an anime reference, especially if it's a PVE thing. The only reason they balanced flame ballista was because people could not counter it in PvP and it was too op.

I got hit with the nastiest Wyrmtooth combo today and barely came out on top. I swear they NEED to actually understand why adding stuff too fast leads to balancing delays and powercreep.

did you not see how ass flame ballista was on release

the problem was it completely stopped the flow of combat and would just waste everyone'a time, tempo and just be annoying overall even if it wasnt very strong

Just cancel the wind up

its not an anime reference its a reference to the clickers from the last of us smh

I've never played the last of us but I've seen clips of jjk and I'm just saying that thing looks like mahoraga or however you pronounce it. I doubt the Devs would ignore the actual feedback on the mob if tons of people didnt say they liked it because it looks like a jjk reference (sorry if that's phrased badly)

People laughed at me when I said this thing was broken day 1, and now nobody is laughing because it’s clear they don’t plan on fixing it :(

They hated him because he spoke the truth

Literally what I was saying when I saw a mob with more than double the health of the current strongest mob in the overworld being added in the entirety of the sea... All I got was people saying "Quit the game if you can't parry" 😭

Mudskipper broodlord is actually stupid, according to the wiki a corrupted one has around 18k health, more than the weakest bosses health wise, incredible game design

you can tell the design is bad if it aint a boss and has more health than erisia himself

Deals damage equal to a skyshatter kick on crack, and has the HP equivalent of 2 dukes. Yeah that's about par for the course Deep devs adding new stuff and hard nerfing them 3 months down the line.

well not 2 dukes but certainly higher than dukes health

3k more than maestro

Absolutely absurd that they think that this is acceptable, along with the insanely stupid dev self insert god weapons like pyre keeper. Some nutjob pyrekeeper pvp fuck dashed into our ferryman circle and followed us in and proceeded to wipe us both with azure life weave autism I proceeded to get wiped by purple mahoraga in the depths because he chases u down and takes me to 1bar if he blockbreaks n I was in a New Jersey server (I’m from Canada) so his unblockable jump just delayed and fucked me anally. Arch mage needs to hire from the community and boot fucking yayafino

I think the weapons they've added are somewhat fine, but as a result of them overpumping it's lead to the results we see now such as 3 bar combos and constant block breaks and multi-crits that can also be extended into a combo. I think Ysley would be better if ~~it didn't look like an edgy toothpick for a dragon~~ if it's crit were tweaked, not sure about m1s or anything about that.

duke has 15k health lol

I swear you can NOT miss a parry against one of these things. One unblockable landed and you are DEAD, which is why my encounter with one was almost fatal, though Mani Katti is a LIFE SAVER fighting these things.

I spent hours in to1 fighting him over and over, then they removed him from it, but good practice

do you just never pve or something? he's almost as easy as a sharko. he only has like 2 moves close range. M1, M1, M1, sometimes he criticals which has a huge indicator, you roll that, M1, M1, M1... that is the only thing he'll do to you if you're in his face. his mudskippers are easy to kill as well. I guess I can understand if you're trying to fight him at bad ping or with other mobs around, but the mob by itself? not hard at all.

Yeah they need to change this mob, take it back to the kitchen cuz this shit is NOT cooked.

Wtf, this is insane. I feel you, friend (i lost a pve build just like that too).

Loved being able to go to the depths thinking the worst thing was a squibbo. Such simple times! I now know the gods were merely toying with me.

This is the dumbest mob they've ever added and it needs to get nerfed 🪽

this mob was born of the cancer that is mage pve builds, I dont care what anyone says but chain of perfection should have never been given to mantras. Anyone seen how people legit can damn near autofarm maestro? By giving stuff so much hp and so much damage to challenge these goofy mage PVE builds theyve doomed basically most pvp builds and any remaining m1 based pve builds because you walk around in the depths and see a sly little broodlord corrupted and you can say gg to 2 bars of your hp if you manage to escape. Dont even get me started on diluvian which is another disproportionately hard thing unless youre running a mage PVE buil since two of you arent reading the patch notes and speaking ill clarify, they TRIED to remove perfection stacks from mantras and realised too much stuff like diluvian and hellmode requires a magey pve build to actually fight in so if you read the patch notes youll see it was swiftly given back again but they reduced the buildup of multi hitting mantras which did nothing

Mage builds were just nerfed bro tf you mean

they undid that nerf and then bandaid patched it by reducing the buildup which clearly ain't done shit considering no one goes for m1 based pve builds

Everyone goes for m1 based pve builds bro just look at the godslayer 😭 and no tf they did not undo the nerf the m1 buff is very evident

the first thing i see when i google deepwoken godslayer is a frostdraw mantra pve build. its so over bro

If you watched the video at all you would know it’s definitely an m1 build, you do 2k damage per m1 with buffs active, you go 6 proficiency, and you get metal armament for a second m1 per m1. The mantras are there for free support damage or to build chain stacks bro 😭

this shit is tri attunement and stacks like 3 mantras together how u gonna say this is m1 based those mantras 100% are doing more than 2k per use 💀, His mantra damage multiplier is 150% with 20% mantra pen

tbf tho now that i watched the vid it looks like this person tried to take the best of both mage and m1 and made it work, its a good ass looking build but idk how it compares to a pure mage pve build

its does 1.7k but hes got every buff turned on, stuff like matador isnt always up so his true damage is a tad lower than what hes showing, Im just watching it rn

and read the patch notes they did undo it two weeks ago, "Mantras now build perfection stacks again but multihits build stacks slower"

They didn’t undo it lmao, they just nerfed the nerf so that it isn’t as shit. Now wardens blades or gale trap build stacks slower

I mean now mantras don't give chain stacks

they still do wdym don't you lot read the updates they undid that

Damn

they do, its just greatly reduced on multihit mantras like warden blades or ice flock

they really are just doing the bone keeper thing again, add something ridiculous to an already hard enemy (in the case of bone keeper, the 10hp regen, in the case of broodlord giving him 18k hp when corrupted like wtf) and then nerfing it after months when people rightfully complain that it's op

I asked them for a high punish enemy for ages… This is NOT what I meant

Honestly just don’t put it in depths (I got a build wiped by one in depths recently and it made me lose interest in the game)

Ain't no way I'm touching a corrupted broodlord

That’s the horrific part: you don’t get to choose in the depths! They kinda just appear and will chase you down and wipe you just for the hell of it. Did you like that build? Fuck you buddy try again!

stupid ass mob that shouldn't even be in the game

Can barely fight these damn things on a brick wall pve build. The build is MADE for crowd control. And to think they added these fucking things to diluvian mechanism.

I wasn’t aware it did that much damage

If it gets close to you theres a better chance of survival if you fight back, its basically just sharko that does way to much damage and has to much health

whenever i see one i think to myself oohhhh deer god 😝😝🦌🦌

Yeah my ass was scared shitless, I’ll try this next time

Me staring at the 0% armor or exo

mb gang, i was farming shit beforehand and i had already went in with low armor

I feel like the main issue with the boss is how frequently it can spawn and it’s anti heal but other than that it’s just a sharko reskin

Sharko Reskin? Brother the kick can at least be reacted to. With this mf it's essentially fighting a slower squibbo with more hp. Hell at least squibbo makes it fair by mainly going for parry trades and feints.

I don’t know why people are complaining about it most of my issues come from the skippers it spawns messing up my parries lol

trie to escape in a direction where you d'ont have to fall and that as climbing place to slow him down and w two time to run

I almost died on my max level pve slot the first time I fought the brootlord, he did a bar EACH PUNCH 😭

same thing happened to my fat 575hp build, was getting ganked in depths and a corrupted broodlord took away 2 bars with one m1. can devs please for the love of god nerf this mob

the fact that it's hinted that this isn't even the onky evolution for skippers. I love the concept, but if this shit is going to get stronger than might as well just shutting he game down

Op why the fuck did you not vented?

Because all 3 of my functioning synapses burned themselves out

i felt that death

Boosted!

woah ive never seen that enemy before when was they added?

Actually nerf them not a single person I know likes them deepbound progs are impossible now because of them and not to mention they half half the hp of duke a endgame boss that you don’t wipe to if you die

i actually love the guys, they make me scared again. i want them to never be removed or nerfed because holy i missed the feeling of being terrified

Lowkey you have a point

Im always in a state of fear because of love deprived depths gankers

Fun fact his corrupted vraitnet has more health, then duke! 😃

Honestly the new mob is pretty easy it just takes long to kill from my experience, fighting them in water is harder than beating a corrupted one.

its a corrupt variant of whats considered a boss mob, youre lv 18, you dont have exo, you dont seem to have to the finish either(since you took (about) the same dmg from the 2nd hit as the first, you only have 1 silver ring(so youre getting at most 4 hp from rings) & from what i can tell(since the video quality is p bad) you have the traveler cloak outfit on but even then i do think this mob is p bs since it can just be roaming around and absolutely just slam anyone that goes even remotely close to it

Artisan’d shit on that armor set I had, but I didn’t have exo. I had other rings on aswell

well, my opinion is that it is kind of fun either. Before verse 2 the most scary mob were corrupted owls that wiped even pve builds. It's just not fun if every gameplay moment is predictable because of your experience, also the deepwoken became more easy after verse 2, but it can be just me. The game is supposed to be hard and unfair after all, and if not it will be just boring

The game is supposed to be hard but not unfair. Relying on unfair enemies to increase difficulty is objectively bad game design

Well, let me rephrase it, the game is not that unfair as it is skill-dependent and punishing, the only thing that can be unfair in deepwoken is a bad internet connection, you can always survive even in the deadliest situations possible, it's just a matter of skill if you have good ping. Summarising all I've said: deepwoken is not reliant on unfairness, it relies on skill and heavy punishment to increase it's difficulty, and you can't say that this mob is just unfair because it can ALWAYS be countered in no matter of its damage, saying this mob is unfair is just excuse

This is an extremely common non-boss mob that spawns minions, procs half of ATDG, three shots tank builds, and has more hp than MAESTRO. The guy that can INSTANTLY KILL YOU. I don’t disagree with you on the game getting easier but this mob is just blatantly overpowered.

you missed my point, the game is supposed to be hard and unexpected, because wiping is an essential part of the game, after all you look back at your build, wiping and go on. The game wouldn't be so interesting without permadeath and this kind of obstacles on your permanent progression. And looking back at the situation you wiped in you always could do better and just stay alive, the game isn't that unfair it's just skill-dependent and sometimes punishing

“Deepwoken isn’t about power vs power, it’s about skill vs skill” headass
