Biohazard node in elder difficulty

I know there is 90% bleed reduction node, but with the crazy attack values, health is lost so quickly if you dont bring in a bleed immune champ with more than one stack of bleed. That drastically limits my choices. Is that intentional?

Of course it's intentional. Limiting viable counters is what they do.

They got rid of gates but do this as the same thing. Anything to increase the items that we need to use (or BUY)……

u doing mutant quest for first time ?? The nodes give additional fury … to make it quick

They’ve massively overtuned the attack and health values, they did it last they big changes to eq a couple of years ago, hopefully they did what they did then and reduce them down and compensated us with revives and potions

ezpz. Especially if you got bleed reduction or immune champs. Mutants are full of them.

I had to literally use 25 level revives and several health potions just to get through chapter 1&2. Haven’t start chapter 3 because I know I’ll get smacked. I have dragon man as my only 7-star mystic champ and a maxed dr doom maxed out 6 star champ. I maybe paragon, but I spent money on revives and potions to get it, not through deep roster and pure skill.

Have you tried elder? Lol the 10% damage will damage you a lot even if you fight perfectly and don't get hit ..

I mean unless you got 16 bleed immune mutants...

Of course I have done this node many times. But when the attack values are not so high, you could take any mutant champ and you will do fine because of the 90% bleed damage reduction.

Seatin just posted a video mentioning the same thing for him.

.. you used 2 champs for the 16 fights that you have to swap champions between fights?...

Man I need your skills...

See the part where it says ELDER difficulty in the title and not training wheels difficulty?

Man you are working extra hard to look dumb today....

That’s Classic, not Elder. Step into Elder and watch yourself come running back to complain…lol

Wait until the genius accidentally gets 1 poison stack from biohazard in elder difficulty and thinks "Oh its ok its just 1 poison..."

If you unlock Coagulate mastery, you won’t take anymore damage from bleed since the quest gives already 90% reduction to bleed. So with this mastery, you have 100% reduction to bleed. Hope it helps.

Nice, see this is a smart answer.

On the other hand I am not changing masteries to do 1 path or chapter of a monthly quest…

Ercarret

Yep, I was just about to make a post about this very subject. The bleeds are insane, even with a 90% damage reduction. I struggled a lot with all kinds of champions that normally can deal with bleed but aren't fully immune/resistant.

In the clip above, I will say that I haven't used Kitty in years by this point so I am quite rusty playing her. Still, she would never have struggled like this in the old EQ even with the same node.
