Then again, ever since I started playing windbreaker I can't *stop* using DB on my bowmaster. I think the best tactic would be to DB them into a mob, then stun with bomb, because otherwise you're being accosted by a constant barrage of unavoidable magic attacks with huge range. At your level, though, you may not need to mob them like this. If your hurricane is powerful enough, you can just step-shoot your way across the platform, as one almost always appears where the last one was. It might be good to split the map, and let one person take the bottom while the other takes the top. But yeah, I don't see anything in Time Temple requiring hamstring.Honestly, I think Storm Breath is better than Dragon Pulse, at least for BMs. All the times I would actually want to use DP, I'm too close to the monsters so I just MB repeatedly until I can finally start Hurricane, or I realize there's too many monsters to do this and just start spamming jump-AR.
BTW, how huge of an unavoidable range are we talking? Is it even possible to attack them and not be in their range, or am I just doomed to spend lots of money on pots there? Also, how immediately do they attack? For example, if a skelegon doesn't need to buff up, he attacks almost instantly. But if he does, it takes a while. I guess I should also ask if they have any self-buffs.
IsaacGS Wrote:I have to wonder why all our abilities never work on bosses. No hamstring, but slow works. No DB, but rush works. No stun, but many can be disabled in other ways. It makes these skills a lot less useful when they do this. >_>If Blind and Hamstring worked at half-effect on bosses, I would be so happy. Imagine a slow Anego, or imagine a Zakum that misses everyone 15% of the time. These skills would actually be really really good then.
As it stands now, though, I'm thinking Blind is far better than Hamstring. At least Blind has a chance to save you some pots. Hamstring works no such magic.
