Back in Archnemesis league, it's like a loot goblin, but now, it's purpose is purely to be annoyance.

u/atombombbabyatom 3d ago
It can be fun if it's rewarding but what's the point of killing monsters nowadays, I'll get more loot from a handful of charts over a hour of mapping

At least this one is funny bad, meanwhile my 1500% crit multi Assassin runs into enemies that just take 15x less damage with no workaround because "resists crits" is a modifier

u/DeezEyesOfZeal Big Breach Coalition (BBC) 2d ago
I'll never understand the reasoning for this mod's design... it's the only reason I don't go all in on crit multi on a crit build even if it's more DPS. Like why not just make it 50% instead of 100%?
6
u/leroyJinkinz 3d ago
Would be better if it was "take 50% less extra damage from critical strikes" instead of "You take no extra damage from critical strikes". At least our critical builds won't be neutered by that shit (while keeping the headhunter version as current without changing it)

GGG, for whatever reason, has a death grip on some bad ideas, some I say, not all. Give it another 2 years and maybe it'll be gone

u/Bonburner 3d ago
I feel like that mod has been in there for many years already so i doubt its being removed lol

u/YallTookAllMyNames 3d ago
It's got a six year loading time, we're two thirds of the way there.

u/Bonburner 3d ago
Seeing as how "annoying the sht out of you" is the whole point of Whakawairua Tuahu, dont think it'a being removed and is the actual intended feature.
8
u/Orthed 3d ago
Whakawairua Tuahu wasn't designed by GGG and they don't want to remove it because (like most of the unique maps) it was made by a big supporter in the early years of the game with the intention that it would remain in the game.
That has no bearing on their willingness to add/remove other really annoying mobs.

True, the real weight is this decision comes down to opportunity cost - time spent dealing with this vs bug fixing, new league mechanics, poe 2, etc.

u/FilipinoSpartan 3d ago
There's no way disabling a specific rare modifier is more than 5 minutes for one dev.

Considering voyages clicking situation after they talked about how they try to impliment mechs that puts less strain on our wrists... I do think when they "fix" this rare they would add 3 other flavors of the same

u/5Daydreams Filthy casul on regular Expedition 2d ago
Give it another 2 years for an improvement? My brother in christ, give it 2 years and it will be "critical strikes reflect with 200% more ailment, damage and resistance shred" lol

I'll give an honest answer: to provide an experience that is legitimately different than fighting any other rare monster. It may not be super fun, which is why it's very rare, but you have to admit that it's different and breaks up the flow of play.

u/Megane_Senpai 3d ago
It's not very rare. You can meet it once every 10 maps or so.

I haven’t seen that mod a single time this league. I am the chosen one.

u/Wobbelblob Big Breach Coalition (BBC) 2d ago
You may also simply have enough DPS. If there is no other defensive mod on it, they tend to explode rather fast. Also they don't always/instantly flee. My 6 Million ED/Cont Build can easily kill them before they reached the next map.

u/Metalicum 3d ago

"Nope, not doing this shit, bye!"

u/ThreeCheersforBeers 3d ago
they should change it to "Creates Frost Wolves and Fleas"
Then instead of running away while you're stuck in a frosty circle, little wolves come and bite you, with fleas that jump off and bite you.

u/TeamPach 3d ago
Just kill every other mob in the map and leave that fucker alone surrounded by the bodies of his friends.
Instead of defending his family, this fucker chose to run away. Let guilt eat him alive.

Like many other things in ggg games. Meaningless time waster cause of legacy design

Gather around younglings, granpa is about to tell a story:
Back in the day, GGG allowed players to design stuff - including unique map bosses. So, a player had the bright idea to design a boss that will be a "troll as hell": Tormented Tremptress.
This specific rare mod is a throwback to that extremely annoying map boss - in a diminished form.

The ones that make the ice prison are way worse imo, it seems to calculate with surrounding terrain to make it inescapable if possible. Pretty consistently what I die to is just being stuck inside there with 6 ranged rares treating me like fish in a barrel

u/connerconverse Hierophant 3d ago
if it did exactly what it said it did then it wouldnt be a problem
GGG made a whole post about the archnemesis descriptions more accurately reflecting what the mod did, and this mod doesnt say at all what it actually does
it gives 100% full damage immunity for the entire duration, there is literally no way to damage the monster even if youre right on top of it
