So I've been playing PoE on Path of the Damned on my channel, and I recently completed Raederic's Hold on Path of the Damned. Holy. God. Was it rough. I have to say, I'm really, really enjoying the combat and the necessity to prepare for every fight. That being said, the boss fight was omg difficult. There were something between 3-4 Champions (2 handed fighters with crazy DR and deflection), 2 Bodyguards (rogues), 1-2 Archers, 2 Priests, 2 Archmages, and Raedric himself (2 handed fighter again). It. was. brutal.
The strategy that eventually worked was backing into a room and spamming traps at the choke point. I think I need more magic in my party and less temporal DPS. The DR/deflection for mobs on PoD is extremely high, but magic protection seems to be a lot lower? Is that about right?
Anyways, I've been having this feeling of accomplishment for a bit now, and I wanted to share that feeling with you! A great, tough fight, and I'm glad I was able to pull it off! (note, I'll be uploading the episodes one at a time for my channel, so the boss fight will be up probably towards Friday)
