Watching Playlife attempt the FIRST Ruthless Uber Exarch kill in HCSSF PoE Crucible 

A lot of us do

nah he is very tanky so its pretty easy

​@@winston7055 ok random guy, ok ....😂

@@hanannyg While I agree that Winston is being silly, what is "random guy" even supposed to mean? You are also a random guy. Steelmage is also a random guy. Playlife is also a random guy.

@@ImTheWinningest while i agree, why do you care about random guys

@@bendover04 Because people should evaluate statements purely based on the value of the statements, rather than the perceived authority (popularity) of the person who made the statements, and using "ok random guy..." in that manner is just a weird way to dismiss a statement based on who made the statement (in this case because they aren't a popular Mr. Streamer).

playlifee* is the legend, steel only chicken in chatsteelselffound

The og PoE experience, either you are immune or you die, no middle ground 8-)

its uber boss, its supposed to push ur char to that

Divine Flesh !!!

dw hes fire immune because of that fire glove mtx tech 🤣

Uber has fire pen so its not as easy to cheese

Without totem explode it would never happen you mean. Ruthless had already been out for the entirety of Sanctum(4 months) and nobody got the kills.

GGG made totems mod on purpose to allow someone to win the race :tinfoilhat:

@Hooga true but there was no incentive

Not really, Alkaizer tried both Ubers on a 1-link Boneshatter Jugg in SC to simulate Ruthless and it took him 10 minutes per kill, roughly. Died once on Eater, 0 on Exarch. He would've probably killed them if he didn't die to that reflect map and quit. You don't need broken builds to kill them, just good defense.

​@@PhOeNiXCrEw93you cant simulate the parts of ruthless that make it hard... the lack of links clearly isnt an issue here... its the lack of movement for one that makes it extremely hard

got 2 drops from exarch, only 1 scroll xxd

Those are equivalent to Chaos Orbs in Ruthless /s

@@eldoctoroso no way has to be way more rare if he only got one after 30 days of farming

​@15XGG Well hes used the ones he got, you have to identify things a lot in this game

​@@Kronos74339especially in ruthless since you cant craft or buy the gear you need, kinda shocking he got gear that good just by id'ing rare drops

Yes. As long as you can get a character tanky enough to consistently survive the meteorphase, then dmg is pretty irrelevant in this fight.

​@@asdadfafafafffallslsldd8068dmg is never irrelivant... theres a big difference between a 5 minute fight and a 10 minute fight, the longer the fight goes the more opportunities you have to screw up and tank something your character cant survive

@@surr3ald3sign Obviously. Just replying to confirm that it's possible without the crucible tree. And that fight in particular is much more of a tank test than a dps test. If you can't tank 2 balls you can't do the fight basically. I personally find it almost impossible to not get hit by any meteors.

I think as a way to compensate lack of regular drops, some normally rare things are easier to find in R. Prime example being catalysts, metamorphs drop basically nothing else but shit ton of catalysts. Which also means you can actually use them on whites to influence weights, which you don't do in normal game as other methods are better and cheaper

this is the first uber exarch kill. you need to kill all uber bosses to win the event. ?

@@realcluelessme5804 ohhhhh okay, thank you i think it was uber exarch and uber eater.

@@TheDaddi9 only exarch and eater in uber version

As was stated in the video thats a month of farming just for that gear

The track is The Painful Way from Hades. That specific section happens around 3:30. Didn't remember exactly what song from the Hades OST it was, so I had to check

@@Dittio971 Dude you are such a legend!!!

@@mohammeddhiaa6466 peep the whole soundtrack. the whole game, honestly...

Steel didn't watch it on stream, so that would just be uploading someone else's VOD. It's publicly available on Playlife's twitch in the description -toad

I beat her twice on level 20 with a crap gear druid. They just don't take the time to learn the fight. Whiners.

Is it a race if it goes on for so long because of how BS it it?

​@@Arthrexx Having to deal with both permadeath, SSF and gutted droprates is like running ultramarathon where all contestants were shot in the knee by jury. Honestly, big props for the absolute masochists who participated in this, and even bigger to this guy who managed to overcome Chris's Vision.

@@pocket_sand6645 At this point it has to be a 1-person race and if that is really what Chris' envisions for the game, then he will kill it in the long run. That much is sure.

why do you care its not like you would even have a .5 % chance of winning the race no matter how they did it so why get mad over something that has 0 effect on you

God, this post smells like a redditor from a mile away. Keep crying, guy. I enjoyed the hell out of a race that wasn't just "Will Ben win in more than 24 hours this time?". Hope this format is here to stay.

Thats how POE works are you new here?

Yes? Thats the single best defence for a HC character, a logout macro. This has been the case for years and is the sole reason that most streamers and youtubers dont play HC, bc its the only way to reasonably play HC at end game level bc of the sheer amount of dumb bs that you cannot avoid that will kill you

All the noobs wanna talk shit, lets see you do it then...

I call that cheating is all. Do it without logging out that is skill and how the Devs meant it to be done.

@@johnengels8017 I call that a joke :D I wasn't expecting the guy to do this when i started watching the video...

@@johnengels8017 Do it then Johnny. Stream it so I can see you never ever get there.

​@John Engels 😂 you realize many mechanics are designed with the intentions of logouts? Why do u think you have so many portals back to the fight plus invulnerability when coming back in. Youve probably never made lvl 30 on ruthless 🤡

@@Odyssey636 sure sure...

Its ruthless, the droprates were gutted to like 1/10th or less

and they still gonna cry about how HC people use logout script lmao, which they consider unfair in HC league, the league they have never even played...

⁠​⁠@@DuK-2102 xdd, nobody is “crying” about logout script, it is just extra turbo lame. Either take time and progress slower by taking extra precautions, or stop acting like playing hardcore is some sort of service to the community and a godlike achievement

​@@DuK-2102logout script is bullshit tho you cant deny that... but to give the HC players who do it some credit the game isnt balanced to allow HC play without abusing it bc of the sheer number of unavoidable oneshot mechanics in the game that you can encounter

Thats exactly the point of this mod , every goals being almost impossible to reach

​@@Seracs well yes, ruthless itself isnt really the problem. The problem was that the RACE was set in SSF HC Ruthless

​@@maxcimander188 That's not a problem. This was far more enjoyable to watch than Ben smashing the race in 24 hours. We got to see that like 10 times, no thanks on any more of that.

Boneshatter almost did it as well but I completely agree with you. The fact that if you want to participate in the race you're kinda locked into 1-3 builds. I'm not saying there's a ton of variety in the ssf hc race but there's more than 2 builds.

​@@johnnyc2975thats how EVERY race ever has been... 1-3 top builds that dominate the leaderboard top 100 that has ALWAYS been how races perform, in fact thats how the regular game performs too 1-3 meta builds that top the charts and then 5-10 secondary builds that dont do quite as a well but can still handle endgame

its not, becouse to know how to use it, u need a lot of practice.

People have been doing this in literally every arpg hardcore for like 25 years lol

Path of exile was never developed properly to be balanced for hardcore play, so there are lots of actually unavoidable things that can kill you, and in softcore that isnt an issue bc you can just run back. Unfortunately though this is the case in EVERY rpg with a hardcore option, its just flat out the strongest defence possible. So i will say it is fully playable without doing it, its just not fun bc you always have to worry about being oneshot by an offscreen enemy that could ruin days or weeks of progression to something that you couldnt have avoided

Well my friend, thats bc ruthless removes almost all movement skills AND all movement speed modifiers. For instance there is no quicksilver flask, and onslaught no longer gives movement speed being 2 very common examples

@@surr3ald3sign I honestly didn't even know that lol

still gigachad tho

You do realise that in those cases where he has to log out, that happens in less than 1/4 of a second, you have less than 1/4 of a second to press that button or your character is gone (nah edit *1/5 of a second tops)

Yeah, just like LITERALLY every single HC player in poe... you cannot get to uber bosses without it, the game isnt balanced for HC so there are unavoidable oneshots that you can only survive by abusing log outs

he's bulgarian, not russian

​@@Alkyenclose enough (joking obv) the two get mixed up alot, there are several countries around there that all have a very similar accent

@@surr3ald3sign ye it's all cool

It does... the challenge was to kill the uber versions at all which was clearly hard enough to do

i mean,you can kill everything with explode totems

@@RondouDeoki not if you are shit at dodges Lack of minimal sufficient damage is rarely an issue in this game

@@keepdoingyourjob4404 well as you saw at the beginning of the video, normal one falls over in like 10s, you'd be able to do it, I believe in you ;) But the uber one is tough, he played balls very well

@@keepdoingyourjob4404 or just dont dodge and tank enough like me lol

​@@RondouDeokiyou cant tank that ball phase like that, this is the single tankiest build currently in the game and if he took more than one of those at a time while molten was on cd he would have died

You have never played hardcore with logout yourself, yet you find yourself knowledgeable enough to write this garbage of a wall

There isnt a point... this has been the issue with poe hc since day one, the real problem is that poe was never developed properly for hc play so there are LOTS of things that can outright oneshot you that are actually, literally unavoidable. Such as oldschool exploding enemies (cant remember what the modifier was called but it was changed to the fire orbs that follow you before exploding) they used to explode in a really big aoe the milisecond they died so if you got, for example, a quad dmg rare mob and you killed it the explosion would instantly go off and oneshot your character and there was literally nothing you could do to avoid it bc it was an instantanious effect. And while they have fixed some of those kinds of issues there are still way too many to allow you to play a legit hc character without log out abuse

And yet without it this fight is literally not possible at all

@@surr3ald3sign I think you need to look up the definition of literally because others have beaten him with out explode totems on ssf ruthless without dying so they could have done it on hardcore. So yes it is possible.

on softcore?? who cares lmao

​@@amazingsil Agree, who cares about rhcssf kill with exp totems)

@@Evil_Arthas So do it?

softcore? nobody cares

on SSFHC ruthless? sure buddy, that's why it's only been done recently...

No, it's more like semi-hardcore, you can still lose your character but you are able to log out of the game when you fuck up instead of facing the consequences of that.

if it's so easy, lets see you do it. chop chop bud.

@@petrsobotka5528 you can logout without a macro too

and here you are, a SC crybaby and will still gonna cry about how HC people use logout script lmao, which you consider unfair in HC league, the league you have never even played... just stfu already

@@petrsobotka5528 cry cry cry cry cry cry cry cry cry cry XD
