Hello, I can't seem to copy paste it here in the forum chat? Or did you mean send it to you?

Does it target reflex? And whats the percentage of hitting Dorudugan with it?

Welp. Looks like tactician and blood mage will be nerfed to hell next patch. Goodjob on this solo build though! How long does this build take to kill Dorudugan?

some suggestion:Maybe human race is better because of +7acc. Clown hat -10def to enemy. Substantial Phantom with melee weapon could flank it. You can also casts Arkemyr's Brilliant Departure, and change shock bow before summon. Substantial Phantom has 113acc with myth hunter bow. True for the human suggestion. You need rekvu helmet for no interruptions though. 113acc is too low. You need 135 at least.

My console'd Dordu stats: 159 deflection 192 fortitude 157 reflex 179 will 19 armor (22 for slash, 15 for crush, 11 for shock) Armor pen values are: crush (shield - 17pen) 13 base, 2 from potd, 2 from level scaling pierce/crush (main weapon - 20 pen) 16 base, 2 from potd, 2 from level scaling I just want to fight a normal good ol Dorudugan, not a buffed one.

I want to know what his stats are. Because I think my game is screwed up and giving me a stronger Dorudugan than it should. What is your Dorudugan stats?

Yeah, I was sleepy when I wrote this. But regardless, I don't get hit by his slash attacks so I can't check on the combat log what the pen value is. Anyways, what I'm looking for is your Dorudugan's stats. What is your console'd Dorudugan's stats?

Just checking to see if there is something wrong in my game as my console'd in Dorudugan seems to be stronger for some reason. My console'd Dordu stats: 159 deflection 192 fortitude 157 reflex 179 will 19 armor (22 for slash, 15 for crush, 11 for shock) Armor pen values are: crush (shield - 17pen) 13 base, 2 from potd, 2 from level scaling pierce/crush (main weapon - 20 pen) 16 base, 2 from potd, 2 from level scaling Dordugan seems to miss me with his slash attacks due to large shield modal pretty much blocking reflex based attacks so I can't see what it's pen value is

192 fortitude, 179 will ^ this is a spawned in Dordu at POTD upscaled (I'm level 20) so it might be different to actual Dordu. Can someone confirm? I actually wanna find out. My console'd Dordu stats: 159 deflection 192 fortitude 157 reflex 179 will 19 armor (22 for slash, 15 for crush, 11 for shock) which is stronger than Kaylon's Dordu stats too? I don't get why my Dordu is way stronger than Kaylon's? Kaylon's Dordu pen values are: crush (shield - 15 pen), pierce/crush (main weapon - 18 pen), slash (AoE - 14 pen) While my Dordu has : crush (shield - 17pen) 13 base, 2 from potd, 2 from level scaling pierce/crush (main weapon - 20 pen) 16 base, 2 from potd, 2 from level scaling Dordugan seems to miss me with his slash attacks due to large shield modal pretty much blocking reflex based attacks so I can't see what it's pen value is.

I know a way, Dune! I should be able to make either a pally/monk wiz/monk solo dordu build. Ill need to upgrade my previous wiz/monk build or if i need more tankiness then ill make a new pally/monk build. Can't wait to test it later on and see if it lives up to what I had in mind.

Kaylon's build have shown ar stacking works against Dordugan. His build can facetank Dordugan forever too. Also my deflection stacking build facetanks Dordugan with ease too. I know, it's hard to believe but all we needed is a little push from each other. I'd say we've come far.

Alright, my deflection tank can't seem to do enough damage even with animancer's blade (raw damage so i pen dordu but my accuracy is too low) or kapana taga (did better but still no damage, can do 75% damage to dordu at -1 pen with piercing strikes potions but again my accuracy is too low) Alright so here is the pally/wizard deflection build for dordugan facetanking. Sadly can't kill dordu but will tank forever. (TESTED btw on POTD upscaled) Rekvu helmet (stop interruptions) Bonesetters Torc necklace (get that hp regen boi!) Casita Semelia armour (for deflection) Cape of Falling Star (for deflection) Greater Deflection gloves (gor deflection) Ahu Taka boots (get that hp regen boi!) Psychers belt (get that hp regen boi!) Ring of Greater Regen (get that hp regen boi!) Entonia Signet ring (for deflection) Giftwrapper pet (more healing! and that +1 armour) Weapon we use is Kapana Taga as it's got +5 accuracy, +1 armor, +4 deflection when no allies are around and +4 accuracy for each engaged target. Shield we use is Bronlar's Phalanx as it has +10 deflection at 50%hp as well as crazy buff with stand firm at 25%hp or lower (sadly, we don't go even go less than 30%hp on this build) Why no Rekvu cape for Dordu meteor? Because we have so much deflection we don't get hit by his meteor attack. Why no Cadhu Scath? Bronlar gives better deflection even with Cadhu being at 24 athletics. Also we want to hove around 50%hp to get use of Llengrath's safeguard Late game stat distribution should be (assuming no rest buffs) Mig 25 (more healing) Con 10 (we want to be chunked to 50%hp quicker to proc Llengrath's safeguard which is one of our main defense component) Dex 10 (don't need it) Per 25 (we want to be more accurate but sadly even at 25 accuracy, we only have a paltry 111 accuracy total which has 28% hit rate on Dordu) Int 20 (good for abilities to last) Res 20 (for deflection mainly) We only use 2 spells in this build. Every other spell it's up to you. We use Arcane Veil and Llengrath's safeguard. DO make sure to get the paladin passives to make you tanky. Don't forget to activate large shield modal as it is necessary against the meteor attacks. This is the ai parameters so you don't have to control your character and you can just watch: self: has concentration (tick not) arcane veil 0cd always true llengrath's safeguard 90cd self: health below 50 (tick not) blood sacrifice 5cd Make sure to eat for Hylea's bounty as it just works so well for this build! Also you need to self kill yourself with necrotic lance to gain acute rash wound (the best wound to have as it's penalty is so low -5 fortitude, -3 corrode armor) so your rekvu helmet can work You should have a base of 188 deflection + 50 from arcane veil, armor rating of 22 (slash and shock at 20, corrode at 19, fire and burn armor at 26 because im pale elf), exalted endurance heals for 7hp, bloodmage passive heals for 10hp, ring heals for 6hp, pet heals for 2hp. It's pretty insane how tanky this build is. Make sure to stay on this page as I have an idea to improve my existing nalpazca/bloodmage build. We might actually have a true solo of Dordu build then! Will test it tomorrow and relay my findings.

Rereading what I said, I did come off as aggressive didn't I. I did say this "Well done! I never thought to go the armour route but rather deflection stacking. Thank you for this! I was wrong and you were right." Also I believe we were around the same time, (he commented on my solo play build back in 1.1 days) but I haven't been active in the forums till lately. Just got back to POE again from 1.1 so I'm catching up with everything that is new since 1.1 . I got quite annoyed because he was acting like my build didn't work thinking I don't know how the game's mechanics work. Even in his build explanation, he was explaining all the game mechanics to me *Facepalm* (Kaylon, I know how the game mechanics work) But yeah, like I said he did open my eyes to other potential possibilities. I was so focused on the deflection route, I forgot to try the armor route. In the mean-time, I'm ironing out my deflection tank build. It should be able to facetank, solo and KILL Dorudugan. So watch out! Special thanks to Dune for inspiring me with his ideas.

You were in my highest deflection post when I recommended Nalpazca/Blood mage as the closest. The problem is his cleave. You will need at least 240 Deflection for that to reliably miss you. It's pretty easy to reach 230 deflection without 1.pet, 2. food, 3. rest bonus as screenshot below(also my character is a no MC so deep faith is not maxed), so I assume it's really easy to reach 240 Deflection. All u need to do is casting Arcane Veil -> Blood sacrifice -> Arcane Veil -> Blood sacrifice and so on. Animancer's Enegry Blade is the best weapon for the build because it ignores AR. im going to test if i can regen fast enough to keep using and spamming arcane veil as well as applying llengrath's safeguard and llengrath's displaced image. I've done it dune! Thank you!! I will share my build here. A deflection tank than can tank Dorudugan for forever. I totally forgot about Llengrath's safeguard and that's all I needed!

You still die *facepalm* My build can even tank better than yours. Well done! I never thought to go the armur route but rather deflection stacking. Thank you for this! I was wrong and you were right.

You are doing God's work, son. Bless you!

I killed Sigilmaster too, after finally deciding to do it the right way by taking out the sigils (though I didn't know the wall of draining thing when I did it, though obviously fewer mobs). I nearly killed her 2x before without destroying sigils, but I couldn't power thru the unreletting barrage when she's near death - it kept eating through my Arcane Reflection in like 5 secs. I don't want to spend 1 hr on Doru, so I'll wait for someone to explain how to do it in 10-15 mins haha .. Highly unlikely. The guy's defences are crazy while his damage is nuts too. He's also got something around 6khp or something stupid like that. 1 hour seems about right, actually fast if you think about it.

Yeah, Dorudugan is a mega megaboss for my bloodmage/nalpazca build. Every other megaboss was piss easy, even Huani. He was just a big lumbering piece of hp that posed no threat to me. Dorudugan otherwise, eff this guy.

I did kill it solo as tactitian/bloodmage. But prepare for 1 hour fight . can you post your build? what abilities do you use and also how will you gain flank on him to gain brilliant? (effigys? phantom mage skill?). Also do summons count as allies so you don't get the penalty from tactician?

This made me laugh more than it should have. Perfect timing. Well played. His unwarranted suggestions about monks and heralds as being the best finally came true for him. Haha

This is wrong for Dorudugan. Even a highly min maxed herald will die to Dordugan in a solo melee fight. You can cheese it by distracting him with skeleton summon chant while you poke him at range for 28 minutes straight. But no you can't go toe to toe meleeing Dorudugan. The herald can tank Dorudugan with the right build, however most of his fireballs will land near and heal him - that's why it's better to stay at range. Wait, have you tested this? I would love to know that build actually! Also, I just realized you are the guy on youtube I watched fight Dorudugan. Wow! haha Also will that tank herald build be able to kill Dorudugan or is it just a case of not dying but unable to kill Dorudugan either? The build is nearly the same as the one from the Sigilmaster video, but using Rekvu's Casque & Cloak instead. The only tricky part is to get all your melee resists high enough (without relying on potions) - maybe I will post a little video to show how it works. PS. In the FS expansion I think there's also a new pet giving +1 armor which would make things even easier. Nope, it won't work. Don't say stuff when you haven't even tried it yet. You could have said you know a build that MIGHT work. Not a build that works. Now you just look stupid. Because I can tell you now, I've done that and it's impossible to do it solo. The herald can't tank Dorudugan even with your "right" build. However with a duo healer, it's doable. I never make such statements without testing. When I'm not sure or I don't test I would say "I think" or 'it might work". If you were smart you would have found by yourself by now with the clues I have given and instead of posting crap you would have said "I wasn't able to find a way" instead "you can't do it". But after I will show how it's done it's you who will look even more stupid. Haha, goodluck. Been there done that, your so called build. You are so ignorant *facepalm* at least try to do a herald build first and facetank Dorudugan before saying that it can do it. Because I'm telling you now, it won't. I've got more experience than you, I mean you're clueless right now. You really think a herald can solo facetank Dorudugan -.-
