This isnt an exaggeration, Ive been playing a Freezing/explosive arrow Bowzon since launch (now at lvl 86) and NO MATTER how many players we are in game, either doing CS or Baal runs (even before that when I used to kill bosses with other players for quests) Im 100% !!!!! of the time being targeted by bosses. Diablo will constantly fire his friggin lazer beams at me and follow my movements, if I try to run away he will start chasing after me, Baal will CONSTANTLY face in my direction and spam his spells toward me, if I run away he will instantly teleport towards me. Clearly theres some hidden mechanics behind their AI that follows some kind of logic. Right now my only guess is that since there are so many Sorcs,pallies and wtv else and that Amazons are nearly inexistant, the AI uses alphabetical order with classes name and focuses on the class that begins with an A.

I just cant find any other logic behind this as Im clearly not the main damage dealer since Im a friggin bowzon and constantly have to dodge spells, I could be standing far away or glued to the boss like everyone else and I will STILL be the main target. This is honestly pissing me off and feels like Im being cheated in some ways.


Edit: Im on console by the way, PS5 more precisely.

Honestly who cares about bosses, just clear chaos/cows/ worldstone

You should already know Bowzons arent good boss killers, ive been running a Bow since day 1 and ive yet to kill a single boss in any of my runs? Why? Its a waste of time. Id rather just make a new game and get back to killing monster packs, getting good bases for runewords and rune drops.

You mentioned explosive arrow......not to be mean or anything but youre build is most likely really bad

What are your resistances? How much life do you have?

Why are you playing freezing/explosive arrow? Instead of pure phys/magic arrow

Feel free to message me, i can give you an easy budget setup, you can clear chaos in less than 5 minutes
