everybody who voted no would be crying “please buff her” after playing a paladin build;)
so sad to see MQ. Poor Queen looks like no glory for you for today maybe tomorrow then:cry:
Voted “no”. I’d put her around the same level as rogue-like Bosses or even a few of the Nemeses and she’s at the right strength to be where she is.
Imo, she’s way weaker than rogue-like bosses. I mean, yeah, she can kill you, but only withe her red buff, she doesn’t have as much damage as rogue-like bosses at all. I mean, she just shreds % of your HP and barrages you with that (red buff), 5 projectiles dealing average damage, resulting in high damage if you facetank it, that’s all she has. That’s my opinion.
Hell no, it’s a silly idea. So really great and well thought out builds can facetank her and end her in under 10 seconds. But that’s just a tiny % of the player base.
She is an absolute nightmare if you are playing self-found or play suboptimal build.
Maybe it’s just the builds/characters I play but I have a harder time with Mad Queen than the likes of Shar’Zul, Sentinel or Alkamos. I have casters who can facetank these to death but either get shredded by Mad Queen or force me to back off when she sets up her red aura.
If you want to buff her, make a mod that buffs her. Stop trying to force everyone into your gross masochism fetish, we’d actually like to have a game that is playable instead of “every mob above white does 17k dps”.
Mad Queen being weaker than Alkamos? Now i have heard everything. Alkamos is an utter joke compared to the Mad Queen, regardless of build. I’d argue Shar’Zul is way weaker because i have casters who can facetank him. Non-Arcanist casters, which means no Null or Mirror.
Mad Queen also shreds your resists by a flat fucking 38, try to tank her melee attacks with this. Have fun either being near death or dead. So no, her red aura is not all she has.
Well you are right. The purpose of this thread is to see how the community feels. I am not forcing my way here. If majority decides a no then so be it;)
Anything that can be beaten under 10 seconds should be reworked 100%.
I voted no even though I beat her initially an average character when I first started playing. She was certainly a challenge at this point.
I have come to realize that balance in GD is pretty messed up due to design decisions of item boosts, OA/DA/etc cap vs diminishing returns approach, and so on.
Some enjoy facetanking with little risk and some like more risk.
Thus, might as well leave it as is for more flex in general game play. Fight her with a less tuned character if you want challenge.
Some monsters shred your resists by flat 40, some trash monsters have stackable RR, not a big deal. Also, her RR is on a 5 seconds cool down. The RR doesn’t play any role here, at this point. Comparing to Alkamos’ RR, where he shreds you by flat 33 and has effectively only 1 second cool down, reducing your HP by 30% and being AoE with 45% weapon damage. I don’t think Alkamos is any weaker than Mad bitch, I’d rather say Mad bitch compared to Alkamos is like a bug compared to a titan.
Point one strong hit that Mad Queen can do, it’d be her red buff, while Alkamos basically shreds your HP by a percentage, with high base damage and WD ratio. When Mad Queen is off her buff, she doesn’t deal damage at all, she can’t even damage my trashy casters at this point, while most of my builds with trashy defense can’t handle facetanking Alkamos.
I will basically never say Mad Queen is any stronger, or even as strong as Alkamos, neither believe that. Give Mad Queen the same WD ratios Alkamos has, then maybe she’ll be as strong as Alkamos.
Only Lokarr and Reaper (and it’s on a wps, which might never trigger) have flat 40 RR, don’t know where you get some enemies have flat 40 RR. Shar’Zul has 50% RR but that’s the multiplicative RR which is not very strong. Alkamos uses the RR very sporadically, so the cooldown doesn’t matter. I’m sorry but you’ll never convince anyone that the Mad Queen is weaker than Alkamos when threads complaining about the Mad Queen are in abundance in this forum, while Alkamos is constantly criticized as the weakest rogue dungeon boss and needs a buff. Alkamos tickles compared to the Mad Queen and i want proof on how Alkamos even compares to the Mad Queen in terms of damage.
Not to mention the Mad Queen was literally used for years as an endgame test of your build’s strength. No one used Alkamos as test of a build’s strength because he’s pretty damn weak.
The only thing dangerous about Aleks is his meteor and that doesn’t stop him from being one of the most dangerous enemies in the game. Only thing dangerous with Grava is his null projectile. Only thing dangerous of Gargabol is his volcano. Enemies having one extremely dangerous skill and thus making it one of the most dangerous enemies in the game is pretty much the only requirement.
Then again, you claimed Aura of Censure kills trash mobs in two or three hits. I’m starting to notice your perception of damage is completely warped and not all an accurate representation of their actual damage.
I do agree that mad queen is easyer that Alamos. Freese, RR and crit can oneshot unprepared character. MQ is harmless w/o her cheating aura.
Have you ever actually fought Alkamos?
Seriously, guy is a pushover. Mad Queen I’d place slightly harder than Shar’zul, and Alkamos is sure as hell no Shar’zul.
Alkamos is not strong imo, so is Mad Queen. Alkamos can freeze you, making him harder, you get the freeze resist potion, he’s easy, but Mad Queen deals damage with her red buff, only, while Alkamos has DPS.
Give it a break.
You use a specifically worded poll to put people off voting no and your only reason is becuase some hyper niche build or overtweaked modded char shown on youtube can beat her in x amount of time. Forget about bloody videos of hyper chars, how quick can YOU kill her with a normal char, if you even can? Also the game is made to be enjoyable, not a machosistic boring grind.
Crate should nerf this guy’s ability of creating dumb threads, one after another.
Mad Queen can heal 20% or so of her health each 12 secs or so, while still beign able to debuff you and use other nasty attacks, meanwhile Alkamos can only freeze you and that’s that, so syaing Alkamos is harder or even put him on par with Mad Queen is an excellent way to make people not take you seriously at all.
I would not call this thread dumb. I would call it a realization for me. Call it whatever you want but now we know Mad Queen stays the same! Crate’s call! 
that sounds so weak after all. Will you make a thread for that? 
It always was. :rolleyes:
She does not require a buff. I have no idea how to kill her
