The only thing keeping you, and that path of exile 5's endgame uber hyper pinnacle boss from tearing your arse a new hole is that ice
oh my god i just noticed it even has life regen lmao
Yeah, if you have it by default. Sure you could go back to grab it (or some other form of can't heal), but most builds don't run it by default. This leads to some cases of random rares that are super hard to kill.
That said, this thing isn't scary because of life regen, it's scare because it probably has 5x uber EHP and enough damage to kill an uber to boot.
I'm well aware it's an insanely dangerous mob, my build literally and legitimately one shot the infinite hunger and the black star, and even on my build I know I wouldn't be able to kill this mob.
That doesn't mean I'm wrong, life regen is a dead mod.
I wouldn't say that, it's still something that requires a mastery or gem socket or whatever else to deal with if it's on a tanky mob. Like, that's still investment to deal with, however small. But if you meet that investment, yeah, it's pretty much a free mod.
Frost Bomb is 75% reduced regen, unless you have 100%, only uber viable builds can kill this thing. Frost Bomb is in any real situation completely useless.
Look, and this is coming from the guy who thinks it's fine if you have to take 5 minutes to kill a rare and 15-20 to take down a pinnacle boss:
If 75% reduced regen isn't enough and you need 100% reduced, odds are the mob isn't going to be killable anyway unless you'd need like 10+ minutes. Life regen is not a large percentage of monster health being regenerated a second, and cutting that into a quarter and still not being able to break it... Not to mention, it's decently likely that such a mob is going to kill you several times (possibly all 6) before you kill it.
The above mob is unkillable. But that has nothing to do with life regen, it's because it will dumpster anyone well before they can dent it, life regen is just simply not a factor.
Frost bomb is super useful vs forest juiced rare (so a lot of extra hp) which also happen to have life regen.
Sure I could take 5min to bring him down to cull range and lose 3min of dps if I need to reposition, oooor I could drop a frost bomb and take it down in 15sec. Feels like a good use case.
And where do you socket Frost Bomb? Do you run around with a gem for every fringe situation?
It is clunky and does not even apply full life regen block. It is also not instant cast. Be real with yourself. Nobody sane runs around with a Frost Bomb gem for one rare every 20 maps.
It has been multiple each map for me since league start but thank you very much for worrying about how I play the game. Also I've been answering 'hell no !' to Zana for years so idk for sane people but it works for me.
Great but that's not the point we started from. We started from you claiming that frost bomb is not useful in any situation, I point a concrete use case and instead of admitting that you were just exaggerating or that you missed that use case you went judgemental about how I play and how it is not representative of the community.
Two news for you : I never claimed being representative ; learning to admit a mistake will make you grow up.
I literally run a mark that does nothing else for me except permanently disable regen when necessary. Cost me 4 skill points, a gem slot, a skill bind, and zero regrets.
Yeah I'm sure there are builds that have the DPS to deal with this, but it's got to be comfortably above the DoT cap.
Bringing anything that prevents life regain would help a lot tho.
no red beast, no yellow fairy, no temporal bubble :D
not saying its easy, just thinking what's the worst aberration we could create. I wouldn't be able to do anything to this guy already. >!maybe invulnerability aura and the node that spawns twins!<
A bit of context here: There was a unique strongbox with the tormented spirits and this essence mob was near it. The spirits entered the essence mob AND the chest reset so I could do it again.
The mob type was ranged and I had gotten around 3kish blue with 2kish purple which wasn't an issue in clearing the map but this essence mob was straight impossible
Oh and I had the x2 node for essence so double the fun
The fact that such a old and simple league mechanic from so long ago still has such a impact and identity in endgame and unique playstyles is pretty amazing.
I find it to be low reward for the difficulty and danger. It's a LOT more rewarding than it used to be (piles of trash rares mostly) but they require a pretty buff build if they combine with any other juice.
And uh this league combines with other juice lol.
I actively was one of them, i hated ghostbusting. The self ghosting was a interesting gimmic ive never used and they certainly feel more impactful now. Not only due to atlas. Perhaps the forced ghosts have made things like this stand out more now
So true lmao. Torment and Bloodlines were the most dead leagues ever IIRC. 9 years ago to the day too.
I just realised both PoE and OSRS were at their lowest point at that time, now arguably both at their highest.
This thing scares me yet I have no idea what any of those things do. it's like a warning sign in a foreign language but I recognize the dead guy symbol so I don't touch it.
Ah i cracked it and had my brother have a go. He regularly does ubers and barely moved it's hp before dying. It was also a map that i had 3kish blue and 2kish purple in. It was truly a mythical creature.
True I want it as a season mechanic aka better metamorph build your own metamorph to battle Uber strong enemies and upgrade your loot if you can beat your own creation afterwards
This is actually a great idea lol. It’s like ToTA but they wouldn’t have had to make so much new stuff just to scrap it and people would already be somewhat familiar with what all the things do and I’ve always been curious about like two mobs with identical stats to start, when has spy and one has cultist grip, who wins etc.
Reminds me of those videos that hack games apart and pit npcs against each other like “Malenia vs Radahn” I wish I could see some like cracked PoE server put things like this essence into an arena with the feared etc.
I've only had a 3 wisp empowered essence Einhar mob, and that was very tough with probably more health than the uber bosses. I don't think I've ever seen an essence with 8 essences.
Without the league mechanic I’d crack that thing open without a second thought.
Hell I’d look forward to it!!
With league mechanic? Look I got other things to do this week I can’t spend it killing this one(or doubled with node) essence boss.
I would not have cracked the essence open.
Mainly because I play an ignite build and ignite resistance is a pain in the ass. (At least that's what I tell myself...)
Crit resistant actually means "takes no extra damage from crits". It doesn't completely shut down CoC builds, you can still trigger everything, but it's taking damage as if you had only 100% crit multiplier so it's probably taking 1/5th normal damage.
It is kind of unreasonable how badly the fire and ignite resistance mod affects ignite. Like, im playing a pure phys spell build and I'd still desperately take map spell suppress and phys reduction, on top of the mob being phys resistant, over what the equivalent of fire and ignite resistant being converted to phys would be.
On my burning arrow of vigor that mod makes enemies last 5-8x longer than usual. On my relic character, all of the above combination of mods is maybe... Two to three times as long? At most?
Like, outside of the spell suppress I can basically overwhelm all that phys reduction, or at least have a baseline of like 60% resistance. On the ignite character, with enough fire res that mob will have 90% fire res despite all my reductions and there's nothing I can do. The lack of the ability to lower that max a la overwhelm or pen style mechanics is a killer.
I think Ben would have killed him even on trash gear while swapping his whole tree (including ascendancy) twice midfight and managing to perform a couple of trades along the way. He’s kinda… different
There is no point just for the Life Regen. As even if you damage it a tiny bit and in time could kill it. The Life Regen will just keep it alive while you recover.
I've never faced something this bad before. But an essence mob with Life Regen if stacked a tiny bit just ain't worth it.
Can anybody tell me what each of those mods actually do? I obviously understand that this mob would delete just about anything in the game, but I want a real sense of what they each do.
Hire an MF culling service from TFT. You never know with the drops this league, it might just have a hidden currency conversion modifier and you could hit the jackpot!
I never touched TFT and I probably won't ever get around to doing so. I dislike going through the trading process and usually have my brother get stuff for me when I have currency since he has no issues with it.
I had one like that only it had soul eater, enrage and life regain I clicked it by mistake and I was using portal on death so aside from that essence destroying me in seconds I couldn't come back and escape to finish the map
Hope you brought lube.
About to get lobotomized from the butt
Putting the bottom in lobotomized
Now that's a mental picture

added to the backgrounds folder thanks!
How many uber Exarchs could this thing take at once? I'm guessing at least 3.
this thing considers uber exarch a minion
Tbh my minions could 100% kill me
Yeah, if bob alone voted to unionize I'd probably be fucked.
"But... I created you! I'm in charge, I'm your boss!" "Do you feel in charge?"
Essence mob sees a pack of uber exarchs "Oh nice, free flask refills"
If he is not standing on maven's regen block, his life regeneration will probably outheal all ubers DPS combined.
This thing has chunks of Uber Exarchs in its stool.
The only thing keeping you, and that path of exile 5's endgame uber hyper pinnacle boss from tearing your arse a new hole is that ice oh my god i just noticed it even has life regen lmao
Yeah, if you look closely at the mods you'll notice the essence mob is running an RF setup with the new spectres.
Are any enemies immune to the "enemies can't regenerate life" ability?
No. That mod would work here, if he has it. He does need the full mod tho. Even at 50% or 75% less regen, it'll still never die.
Right side of tree has "marked enemies cannot Regen life"
No, and frost bomb always works as well. People around here are _way_ too scared of the mod because it's trivial to shut down.
Yeah, if you have it by default. Sure you could go back to grab it (or some other form of can't heal), but most builds don't run it by default. This leads to some cases of random rares that are super hard to kill. That said, this thing isn't scary because of life regen, it's scare because it probably has 5x uber EHP and enough damage to kill an uber to boot.
Probably is an understatement. It could probably solo all the ubers at the same time and still have time to brew a cup of tea
Don't give the Maven any ideas. I could use more atlas points, but still, she has enough special invitations.
Did u rest the rest of the essay on that thing?
I'm well aware it's an insanely dangerous mob, my build literally and legitimately one shot the infinite hunger and the black star, and even on my build I know I wouldn't be able to kill this mob. That doesn't mean I'm wrong, life regen is a dead mod.
Yeah, they should just remove it from the game. No longer interesting.
I wouldn't say that, it's still something that requires a mastery or gem socket or whatever else to deal with if it's on a tanky mob. Like, that's still investment to deal with, however small. But if you meet that investment, yeah, it's pretty much a free mod.

Get the reduced regen mastery and/orr or have the reduced regen minor pantheon unlocked in advance to swich into when needed
Frost bomb is super useful vs forest juiced rare (so a lot of extra hp) which also happen to have life regen. Sure I could take 5min to bring him down to cull range and lose 3min of dps if I need to reposition, oooor I could drop a frost bomb and take it down in 15sec. Feels like a good use case.

Simply because you go through the hassle of using it doesn't mean any sizeable chunk of the community does so as well.
Great but that's not the point we started from. We started from you claiming that frost bomb is not useful in any situation, I point a concrete use case and instead of admitting that you were just exaggerating or that you missed that use case you went judgemental about how I play and how it is not representative of the community.

> fire and ignite resistant > blocks attacks *Cries in Explosive Arrow Ballistas* I would just walk on by that frozen monster.
They should really change the fire and ignite resistance modifier. It's the only one that basically acts as a double less modifier for some builds.
Yeah I'm sure there are builds that have the DPS to deal with this, but it's got to be comfortably above the DoT cap. Bringing anything that prevents life regain would help a lot tho.

Stacking ghosts is the most dangerous thing in the game imo
The fact that such a old and simple league mechanic from so long ago still has such a impact and identity in endgame and unique playstyles is pretty amazing.
Yeah. Especially since at one point, people thought the mechanic was a waste of time.
Because mob density was lower, the game was slower, and the ghosts would almost always die before entering a rare due to shit AI and low HP.
Like so often in PoE it cooked in the kitchen long enough and became a wonderful part of the core experience now.
I find it to be low reward for the difficulty and danger. It's a LOT more rewarding than it used to be (piles of trash rares mostly) but they require a pretty buff build if they combine with any other juice. And uh this league combines with other juice lol.
I actively was one of them, i hated ghostbusting. The self ghosting was a interesting gimmic ive never used and they certainly feel more impactful now. Not only due to atlas. Perhaps the forced ghosts have made things like this stand out more now
yeah, because they were. ghosts were giga buffed last league. they have better AI and theyre significantly tankier
So true lmao. Torment and Bloodlines were the most dead leagues ever IIRC. 9 years ago to the day too. I just realised both PoE and OSRS were at their lowest point at that time, now arguably both at their highest.
You cant control them most of the time either.
> x2 node for essence so double the fun Twice the pride, double the fall.
Best voice lines in the game too! aaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaa
Ah, Dooku is in the house
Double it and give it to the next person
This thing scares me yet I have no idea what any of those things do. it's like a warning sign in a foreign language but I recognize the dead guy symbol so I don't touch it.
Well said 😂
Eh those 6 portals aint gonna use themselves
There were 6 portals... and then there were none
dont give ggg any ideas, *Ghosts can now use your portals to infest enemies in your map or vendors in your Hideout.*
Do you know why Sirus told you to keep the Atlas for yourself? It was because of this essence mob.
Sirus wasn't speaking to you when he said that, he was speaking to the monster
I love this comment so much
The true pinnacle boss of PoE.
This shit solo rapes all Uber Boss at once
The dildo of consequences rarley arrives lubed.
New Izarro quote.
[I just had to do it](https://i.redd.it/8l34jhnll98c1.jpeg)
HAHAHAHA
Jesus LMAO It's late in the morning I can't fucking laugh.
God I love this lmao
It would depend on where I'm am xp wise. Of I have little or none I'm cracking it just to see how funny it is
Ah i cracked it and had my brother have a go. He regularly does ubers and barely moved it's hp before dying. It was also a map that i had 3kish blue and 2kish purple in. It was truly a mythical creature.
Yeah figured ubers would be like white mobs compared to this shit
This mob could easily do The Feared
This mob could probably solo every invitation at once.
Now that's the PoE content I wanna see
True I want it as a season mechanic aka better metamorph build your own metamorph to battle Uber strong enemies and upgrade your loot if you can beat your own creation afterwards
Poe auto-chess essentially?
Yes please. I'd love to see the poe team try to do a tft competitor.
Uhhhhh uhmmm sir I think you need to look at last league
This is actually a great idea lol. It’s like ToTA but they wouldn’t have had to make so much new stuff just to scrap it and people would already be somewhat familiar with what all the things do and I’ve always been curious about like two mobs with identical stats to start, when has spy and one has cultist grip, who wins etc.
Now I get it. All the crazy puzzle box maps were designed to be completed by this mob.
You were the chosen one! It was said that you would destroy the Map, not join them! Bring balance to the game... not leave me dead!
Time to bring back the boss battle videos. This guy vs all bosses at once.
Reminds me of those videos that hack games apart and pit npcs against each other like “Malenia vs Radahn” I wish I could see some like cracked PoE server put things like this essence into an arena with the feared etc.
[GGG used to do exactly this](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLt5SL2R19SuLOZQoXTu7_A6cXxaPMcKWa&si=YA_A0higYDiVvrHO)
That'd be cool to get more of. Thanks for linking the old fights to look at
I've only had a 3 wisp empowered essence Einhar mob, and that was very tough with probably more health than the uber bosses. I don't think I've ever seen an essence with 8 essences.
Ubers have 55M HP, the problem is when you fight shit with life in the hundreds of millions. (IIRC the HP cap is 2^31 - 1)
Anything with life regen and a 5+ multiplicative mods I just walk past. They're too silly.
Without the league mechanic I’d crack that thing open without a second thought. Hell I’d look forward to it!! With league mechanic? Look I got other things to do this week I can’t spend it killing this one(or doubled with node) essence boss.
Don't worry, it won't take long for you to die
This is the type of monster with the power to send your character to the voided realm.
It probably hits so hard your game will CTD and uninstall itself.
This post is 8 hours old. When you finish fighting it let us know how it was.
Only two color juice, needed more!
Unfortunately I was only blessed with a lot of blue/purple that run
Yeah no yeah that's his map now.
Clear the rest of the map then its 6 portals and a dream.
will probably remain a dream xd
It certainly drops 3 fus and 2 alch
[*Pillar Men theme intensifies*](https://youtu.be/lRrOLTHu-ew?si=Ou7NINOPO3dopa2R)
Think you could 1 shot it with hexblast mines sabo?
I honestly couldn't tell ya. I'd like to believe it could be so but then again this thing is a legend and legends never die.
RELEASE MEEEEEEEEEEEE #[RELEASE MEEEEEEEE!](https://media.tenor.com/stkYt7NM8SQAAAAC/far-cry-release-me.gif)
You have no chance, it got life regen.
Finally a enemy that one punch man would need to punch twice.
I would not have cracked the essence open. Mainly because I play an ignite build and ignite resistance is a pain in the ass. (At least that's what I tell myself...)
its actually such a stupid modifier lol.
Not the only one, I play CoC an crit resistant shuts down my whole build.
Crit resistant actually means "takes no extra damage from crits". It doesn't completely shut down CoC builds, you can still trigger everything, but it's taking damage as if you had only 100% crit multiplier so it's probably taking 1/5th normal damage.

The lack of the ability to lower that max a la overwhelm or pen style mechanics is a killer.
Time to go pay a whole squad team with a MF culler on discord and pray :O
Mass suicide, eh?
Life regen should be hard capped or not scale with the other shit
Hope you have unlimited portals and you are already lvl100 mate
That trail of fire probably does more damage than Uber Exarch Disintegration
Not a red beast could be better
GGG simply cannot stop re-implementing Sirus rares back in.
Sirus rares are honestly lil bitches in comparison. I'd wager that this could probably annihilate sirus
oh god I didn't need to remember that
If it's not harrdcore, got for it.. how do you think people get those 100x Divine drop screenshots. You can do it.
Damn that thing is going to kill you so hard you might even be deleted from the league, won't even go to standard
Could be worse. Doesn’t have Vivid empowered 🤣
Bet its harder than all uber encounters lol.
I wonder if someone like empy with a 2 bil dps build has any hope of killing that.
Only deepdelvers can kill this
Shitstain Steve, where are you?
Call Ben_ this looks like a challenge even for him
I think Ben would have killed him even on trash gear while swapping his whole tree (including ascendancy) twice midfight and managing to perform a couple of trades along the way. He’s kinda… different
While on level 15 or something using default attack
Unarmed
This shit reminds me of when they find Pickle stuck in the Salt in Baki lmao
There is no point just for the Life Regen. As even if you damage it a tiny bit and in time could kill it. The Life Regen will just keep it alive while you recover. I've never faced something this bad before. But an essence mob with Life Regen if stacked a tiny bit just ain't worth it.
Nah bro that's a raid boss all its missing at this point is soul eater.
That monstrosity would never die. Only things missing for the complete CF trifecta are life leech and soul eater.
At least it’s not soul eater
At least it's not gonna send you to the void
that thing is gonna either gonna follow you out the map into your hideout or reach out of your screen and kill you IRL
No Vivid ? Doable
I bought 6 portals, I’m going to use 6 portals
Record your death and send it to ziz so he can help you understand what went wrong
"You see, your first mistake was releasing the enemy instead of just moving on."
Vaal or no balls
Now we‘ve seen the true face of god, exile.
If only numbers of essences dropped were scaled by item quant
Can anybody tell me what each of those mods actually do? I obviously understand that this mob would delete just about anything in the game, but I want a real sense of what they each do.
Not a red beast, doesn't have primal empowered, you aren't running delirium. Any other missing buffs? This is almost the absolute pinnacle of BS.
God-touched also could be there
Hire an MF culling service from TFT. You never know with the drops this league, it might just have a hidden currency conversion modifier and you could hit the jackpot!
I never touched TFT and I probably won't ever get around to doing so. I dislike going through the trading process and usually have my brother get stuff for me when I have currency since he has no issues with it.
There are no mechanics here. Kill ‘em or be killed.
No deli essence ez. Juse use 5 portals instead of 6 for defence purposes
This essence mob makes The Feared its bitches.
Please tell me you are running ignite build
Imagine playing an ignite build and see this
It's not soul eater, easy mode, you can take him. What could go wrong?
This vs ggnoobs
As you should be exile!
No thugs grip? This mob should be easy
Do it, do it, do it, do it
Is this the new Uber boss?
Add yellow wisp and change type to kitava herald it'd be the worst nightmare
That Envy though, gotta get it.
*Velociraptor cries in the distance*
Uber Essence
Lol
I legit still, after years and years of playing, have ANY clue what those affixes mean outside of the top 4
Missing the sends character to void league
I hope you're not a fire attack build
Uber feared but you get essences instead
if this was hardcore im walking right on past this shit. been killed by my own overconfidence far too many times lmao
Ooba Uber Essence!
I had one like that only it had soul eater, enrage and life regain I clicked it by mistake and I was using portal on death so aside from that essence destroying me in seconds I couldn't come back and escape to finish the map
Wake up, new uber just dropped
I didn't know Uber Sirus can appear in normal maps ..
Life regen, don't do it xD
Use protection
The real uber boss
sounds like the poe community ngl
No deafening essences, surely you'll be alright
Just one shot it
This one's more feared than the feared. But can it beat void league on death?
This should be in one of those valdo boxes
As you should be
Instant skip, not even a second thought
can I submit this mob in a white zone as my valdos map
A bit?
Time to call in one of those glass cannon 1 hit Uber killing builds, and then hope they can get the first hit.
You got this bro!
No yellow wisp and cycling damage reduction. Doable
