3 stunners at 75 are why it's important to add a bit of vitality. Yes, I've experienced this, last night in fact. It was a slight challenge, nothing more. Once again, the cast immune mobs are still broken. Either that, or if multiple gearsets are now REQUIRED to kill regular white mobs, then a gear swap on hotkey system to support this should be a relatively important addition to the game.

And just because I'm fully aware some people are too lazy to read back... You cannot compare any of these white mobs to sneaky. Sneaky is a special objective, that you plan carefully for if you intend to complete. He's not a random weak white mob that turns unkillable for a specific build type.

3 EP stunners or 3 normal stunners? You can blast away white stunners with an ability or w/e, but 3 EP stunners had me stunlocked for 6000 HP in solo mode last week :lol: I couldn't get a single attack or heal off during that time. In the past you usually had some openings, but with the increased ability rate, it is definitely a much bigger challenge these days ;) Even HC people aren't asking Paul to nerf monster abilities just because they're doing more now.

Anyway, you do have another option no one here mentioned because we all like the first few options better:

You can just use a stack of life fish and wear an attack charm of element 1 in main slot, and alternate element attack charm in R. Put your heal back in vault and eat the life fish... consider yourself a damage caster and don't worry about shrining your goodies if that's the problem :P

2 EP stunners is the most I've had at 70 since coming back to the game, 3 white stunners. As a softcore player, I don't worry about it. Were I on hardcore, the solution has been built into the game to prevent this eventuality:



And that's the point. Every point along the line where changes were made, balances were done to make sure it wouldn't cause undue hardship. Except for these cast immune things that you not only can't damage, but you end up actively healing.

As I said earlier on, my solution is simple, and does not involve gear switches: I will simply melee when I solo. With the exception of Alchemist, every class is a fully functional melee class, with Warlock being an absolutely beast melee/healer hybrid. I tried casting for fun. Doesn't matter if it was on monk or any other class, due to stupid unkillable white mobs, it wasn't fun. :D

Edit: For those messaging me to sell my caster gear, please stop. In group, especially with mixed elements, casters are still the ultimate. No, you may not have my gear. Leave me alone.

Nope Im on Bob's side for this. I think the way individual element immune monsters are broken as fuck for several reasons.

1. As Bob has said, there are literally times they cannot be killed. I have actually spent 2 full mana bars on a single one because there was either no break to the immunity which also means its basically getting fully healed every time I attempt to cast on it.

2. Unlike the general caster/melee immunes, the elemental immunes have no indication of when the skill is active or not. So essentially its just guessing and hoping its not active.

3. Why the fuck does fire have 2x monsters with immunity to it while EVERY OTHER ELEMENT HAS ONLY 1!



Something needs to be done because those abilities are beyond broken.

I remember the time I was laughed for saying monsters dont need cool down in their skills, game is easy. Well, look at this, yall are slowly coming around. With cooldowns, this wouldn't be that big of a deal. But hey what do I know.

Oh really? I was under the impression that fire had 3 immunes :P
