It might seem borderline condescending to say that a topic requires more nuance than most people are willing to accept, but the fact is I’m the only idiot still trying regularly and the general reception is consistent and obvious.

1. Absorbing man will not throw a special attack for the life of him if unstoppable isnt up, and typically will turtle up until bane timer gets you or until unstoppable timer runs up. This makes light intercepts difficult to achieve, and causes bane to chip at your health. To counter this, you need a champion that is able to shut down the unstoppable
2. Absorbing man has ridiculous regeneration of course but this is easily dealt with if you counter his special attacks with a heavy. The issue as i already stated is his lack of cooperation in throwing the special attacks, leading to bane chipping you out, forcing you to into an attack that sets absorbing man up to light intercept you.
3. Absorbing man instantly kills you if he catches you with a combo. Ideally you will want a sustainable champion, or someone who can avoid the need to parry, as his damage through block has an additional burst that is devastating.
So with that conclusion, i have come to an analysis as to how to defeat WoW Absorbing Man without fail. Here are the steps:
Step 1. Have 2 hands
Step 2: Keep in mind whichever deity, divine being or faith you hold nearest to you
Step 3: Put your hands together
Step 4: Pray that you get a good AI
It took me hours to develop a solution that was both practical and effective so i could share with my fellow summoners, but it seems your fate lies in the hands of the AIs cooperation, your energy refills, and if all else fails, Sir Unit Man.

5 reasons I chose Void:
1. Class Advantage (Hits harder and Degen works slower)
2. Petrify to stop regeneration (Spam Sp 1)
3. Incinerate immune. AbsMan can be pushed to Sp 2 if needed and it won't affect Void.
4. One hell of an intercepter.
5. Sp 2 inflicts Power Sting which will give a weakness or degen.
This fight is nuts, I've burned through so much energy with nothing to show for it other than stress, PTSD, and a cracked phone case from phone rage quit syndrome
I'm stumped, I've NEVER had this much trouble making progress in a fight. And I want to highlight that I'm not expecting to solo the fight, just make positive PROGRESS. I'd say I've spent 10 revives worth of energy trying the Gamma objective and the best I've done is 15%. One run I decided to just revive a couple times and after 6 revives Abs Man was at 100% health, and I was at the end of my patience.
I was able to get the fight done with 7* Sandman, but it was the one time where the AI actually cooperated and acted aggressive the whole fight. Every other time since then Abs Man holds block and waits for me to do something (usually dash in) to light intercept me, or just waits me out until brute force and unstoppable kicks in... BRUTAL!!! I can't even imagine how I'd be doing if I was trying the robots objective (I don't think I will )
It isn’t fun. It’s poorly designed. The game doesn’t seem to be able to handle all the interactions going on. Things like lag, AI behavior, striker misfires and janky inputs seem even more prevalent given the high stakes and punishment built into the fight.
Will I hit the #robot objective? Maybe. I flirted with Viv and WL a few times and just put the game down and watched football.
Weirdly, energy is less of an issue right now—but only because I’ve found myself not turning to the game much at all. When I do, it’s to auto-fight one of the silly-easy energy suck quests that popped up alongside WoW this week. I even forgot BGs existed for the last 5 days.
All of this can be summed up thusly: if the intent was to nudge me to put MCoC way on the back burner, then mission accomplished!

Last EOP was challenging but I was still having fun constantly trying to take on that rotation's boss and doing a little better every time until finally committing to a decent run, throwing revies and pots and knocking it out. This boss is no fun, no learning, infinite loop of pots in my case... Necropolis was hard and satisfying, this is hard and kinda garbage.
I'd rather fight Necro Air Walker with every Necro global node one at a time to knock off this one objective as opposed to fighting this Abs Man once...
