What is the point of the instant death waterbubbles in drowned city?

Lol, these complaints about water hags...

I don't know if it is the "new generation" of gamers, but these guys seem to want monsters that just use basic attack and deal 1 point of damage.

They just want to run and chew monsters while they pretend they are playing something

Try fighting a Rare hag combined with 3 minion hags that revives. That was fun. The hags are extremely tanky btw., way overtuned for what they are doing.

get gud
dodging a 5 sec 1hit-mech. is so easy
never died

This mechanic is totally BS. Ok if you are OS by a boss with a huge slam but this ??? No way that s really a poor realized mechanic without any interest. How can GGG keep this kind of mechanics and thinking "no It s ok we like this idea especially for HC players , they will die and learn".

Oh no a monster requires you to look at the screen and think before you press that attack button? The horror! River hags stop being a problem once you just learn to play against them. They have two whirlpools and one bubble on the screen at maximum. So you can bait out the 2 whirlpools and then rush and kill her easily.

Hardcore players almost hope that a map would have River witches because map damage mods don't make river witches more difficult. Only map modifiers that benefit River witch are mods that make monsters tankier.

I will try to be more clear , i have no problem with high dmg mechanics but no with instant kill mechanics which are counter productive and not relevant especially in this kind of game with this kind of insignificant spells. Ofc i will not get caught one more time by it but it doesn t change the fact that the mechanic is an heresy and a pain for people with high MS or spike lag who can die without understanding what happenned.

Its not instant kill. It kills you in 3 seconds. Thats not instant kill. And in endgame maps when you get instakilled by a squad of crossbow mercenaries you will reverse your statement about not having a problem with high damage mechanics.

I dont think people understand games, gggs job is to kill us players. They are the evil people setting the rules for the game too. For us its about surviving their devious plans and getting all the fat loot. If you die from the waterbubbles, that is intented gameplay.

I've only died to this once, and that was on purpose just to see what happens, and I've ran through Drowned City dozens of times in both Normal and Cruel on various characters (its probably my favorite area in the game).

I almost died on purpose too cause i didn t know what effect it was after plenty of chars passing by this area. Now i know and i will not die anymore but the matter was more about the mechanic .. well i agree with some of your statements about GGG bad guys and fat loot.

About high dmg mechanic no problem i already died a lot in POE1 with rare or champ with insane range dps that s the game when you hate playing with pets or tanks.

In the endgame, every single map will have at least one mob with a ridiculous one shot mechanic. That is how they built the game. It makes no sense at all but that is what they did.
