Media Elderitch Outlook Boss Fight 3 Mins Solo

Similar process, I'd recommend using spell build like fatal or crafted water, having decent healing and mobility certainly make the run much easier.
I could do a vid with fatal mage if you want

 

Focus more on defense or dodging the attacks.
The Eye barely has any HP-Regen, so you can outlive it quite easily if you just focus on surviving.

The problem lies with any class besides Mage. (I mean no-pot.)

 

try eye solo with a flameshot melee build. it is pure HELL

 

For assassin I'd say go for spell build as well, much more efficient.

 

Just did it solo with my nirvana build and no pot. So yeah, it is possible with assassin.

 

The Eye from the perspective of a (not so) humble heavy melee archer.

So I soloed EO without stat/mana pots with a Stinger quake build (which is getting super buffed in the next item patch, which is nice) and what I've got to say is that it's imperative that you stick to a flowchart so to say. This might apply in a way to other types of builds too. If you keep a very formulaic playstyle The Eye is perfectly soloable. What I did was impose a set of rules on myself, so I would be ready if things weren't exactly going my way.

First position yourself on a moderate distance from The Eye. The ideal distance is some 7-ish blocks before the funnel shape right before the eye, so you can still access all three "lanes". During the first phase there isn't much to worry about. Spells like arrow storm and meteor can be easily ignored and so can the random explosions around the arena. There are two things you should watch out for. Firstly: Wave = Escape straight up at all costs. As an archer, it is my experience that once you get pushed back and there are minions in the room, your health will get melted instantly. Secondly: Minions spawn = Arrow Shield. Always keep at least 9 mana (for my build anyway) so you can arrow shield and escape at any time. Any type of crowd control will probably kill the minions, but the new arrow shield is perfect for the job because it stays up for a long time. Any minions remaining will undermine your attempts to get in a rhythm and can cost you a lot of time and health if you're running a heavy melee build like me. The two turrets that spawn after some time are not a threat and will be hit by AoE attacks directed at the eye.

The second phase is just more of the same except The Eye fires its laser from time to time. This shouldn't be much of a problem and only serves to reduce you DPS. Use the down-time to kill any remaining minions and make sure you have a fresh arrow shield or are at least capable of casting it. All the rule from the first phase should still apply.

The third phase is by far the hardest phase, but not for the reason you might think. The Wretches aren't the problem in my experience. They will be one-shot by a quake and can still be easily dealt with with an arrow storm and a melee hit. However, the Wretch is usually accompanied by a bunch of minions, so I've found it to be the most effective if you already have a quake charged when the Wretch spawns and, of course, arrow shield. The biggest problem during this phase is the fact that the minions spawn automatically in the back of the room. This often results in you getting backstabbed and they are very hard to get off of you with a heavy melee build. Therefore, you should always make sure that any minions are dead or at a safe distance before you even attempt to damage The Eye.

The fourth phase is, as you know, more like a normal boss and you can treat it as such. Again, sometimes the boss spawns another horde of minions so the 9 mana rule still applies. Arrow storm is also a great spell because it slows the boss down and deals a lot of damage, since it has a huge hurtbox.

This is my experience fighting The Eye. I actually think the difficulty is pretty much perfect, although with mythics and even my build getting buff I guess it could be a little on the easy side. Definitely still and intense boss fight to me though and by far my favourite in the game.

 

Stinger quake build is possibly one of the most powerful and unique playestyle in game, and I was once a stinger user, can confirm quake's dmg per hit is unparalleled compared to most other weapons.
Also I appreciate the detailed description of stinger vs. the Eye experience, really neat.

 

or just nepta works for some reason but a bit despacito e

 

They all work, while one is less efficient than the other.

 

Does concentration work for Nirvana

 

Concentration is weird in the first place. It immediatly overwrites when you cast a new spell that costs mana

I am not 100% certain, but I'd say yes, as long as the spell you cast costs mana.

Which is quite shit for Nirvana, considering you only get the bonus damage for one spell and rarely get any realy beneficial damage bonus at all.

You cast spells with nirvana that cost like 3 mana max. You literally never go above that (at least not with my spell circle).

 

If that's the case, the rate of change which concentration increases your water damage will hardly never reach the cap, which is 150% for conc.
I'm not saying don't use it, but it's certainly going to take longer since you can't really rely on powder passive as much.

 

Concentration is in general useless unless you either mono-skill or barely invest in intelligence.

 

Concentration is the second, if not the most useful power passive, with a consistent spell cycle, one could easily do 1.5x of their original DPS, possibly doubled for some build.

 

Tell me how you'd archieve that with a normal spellspam build.
It literally resets every time you switch spells because you reset mana-cost. Having each spell cost around 3 mana, which is normal in average for a mana build, you will get 15*4=60% more water damage, which translates to around 500 more water damage for my spins. That is barely 1/6 more damage.

So tell me for which scenario a 1.5x consistent dps increase would actually apply. And please don't tell me you spam spin 5 times. There are more efficient spell cycles.

 

First of all, that's not how concentration works.
Resetting the mana cost does not instantly clear out the effect from concentration.
As you consistently spam your spells, the dmg will stack up, the rate may be different depends on numbers of armor pieces with conc.
However, as the spell cycle completes, the user will reach the CAP, or the maximum dmg% from concentration. To be specific, 150% water dmg, calculated as ID boost.
Which easily gets you 1.5x of your original dmg.
And if I need to educate you on this in game by actually showing you, I'm fine to do so as well.

 

Then I'd like to ask you, why my spins go up to around 7k dmg when going full spin spam, and once I do multihit and spin again, I am back down to 6k dmg?

 

Because conc doesn't work fully on Nirvana, due to the special new ID.

________________________________

I'll show you in game how it is done.

 

Should barely matter. It should still "stack up", because it often enough triggers manacost.

Finally, release from Key Guardian Farming. This is so boring.

 

Just DM me on discord so I can demonstrate you how concentration works.
