Arbiter Mechanics in 0.4

I think the Arbiter is bugged.

I am on my 50th try, and pretty much always it becomes impossible, when the orbs come in and Arbiter does the huge wide beam into the orb. There is no time to do anything else than go into the orb and you will then die into the beam. Or you will die when your toes are on the edge of the orb circle.


You can dodge this with 100% chance if you learn the timing. You stay out of the circle and go in when it's about to hit you might get burned by a beam a bit but you won't die

I have just defeated the first arbiter for 0.4 and I had significant more trouble defeating it than previous and it has brought some queries that I would love to hear other peoples experiences with. Just to clarify, I usually only fight Arbiter a couple of times per league at most, but I have never experienced difficulty with Arbiter even the first time I fought him because I looked at his mechanics in advanced.

However, in 0.4 I lost count of how many deaths I had before I beat him despite being able to absolutely destroy him with my DPS, well at least after the DPS reduction stage at the very start. What kept killing me though was he would phase into the circle dots that you have to stand in and then use his beam attack on the circle pretty much right on when you had to be on the circle. I have never had issues with this previously and I swear he usually doesn't attack during this phase? I could be wrong, but I don't ever remember it.

But basically this just felt like if I didn't go in the circle I get one shot, but if I do I will also get one shot. I don't know if I was approaching it wrong but are you supposed to try and frame perfect dodge roll the beam? The only reason I did defeat arbiter was by being able to blast him down in the second phase before he went to the circles. I was never able to survive that combo beam over the circle you had to stand in.

Hence I want to hear from others about their experience. Has this been a change or has it always been there? How do you survive that combo?


circle+beam combo exists from the beginning. this combo is so annoying but it's not a 0.4 patch thing. you have to wait out of circle until the last moment, watch video clips about that combo and learn timing.

If I remember correctly, you start dodgerolling (from outside, into the circle) as soon as you see the beam fire, even if it seems like you're gonna get hit by it (you won't).
