His MI pants are not worth the time to kill him because he’s so tedious to kill in the first place. And those MI pants are not that good.
Literally the only builds that can kill him with ease are DoT builds and that’s because those builds don’t require to be on his blood pools. Melee builds have an extremely annoying time to kill him because it requires you to be on his blood pools to kill him, they heal him too fast and reduce your total damage by 30%. The constant need to get out of the blood pools is just lost dps and it just makes it tedious. Did i mentioned that each smaller form has their own separate blood pools? There can be around 7 or 8 blood pools are a time.
His breath attack doesn’t deal life leech, it deals physical, bleed and i think vitality. And atm it’s dealing way too much physical damage.

I beg to differ.
With the right Affixes they´re really good (perhaps only for me). The alternatives are Hidden Path-MI, which drop very sparely (and, except Dreeg-Sect, are worse) or legendaries, which are mediocre compared to the Kupa-MI.
Killing him is not a problem for me, but I play a Melee DoT Class. His damage is a problem for me, especially when there isn´t enough space to kite.
I see 300 life leech at Bloodbreath, with the resistance thats 375 HP per sec. Build with 11k HP will lost all it’s life in 30 sec. Distance - long.
Are you sure this is so dangerous??
I’m torn about Koopa… He’s certainly beatable if you know the routine, even running pets, but I do think his spawn locations are a bit aggravating considering how quickly he will begin making appearances for the average player.
Players that have extensive xfer stash library (veteran players) and farming alts probably don’t have the same issue with him as newer players who will be stuck dealing with him in less good gear.
As aggravating as he is when I am running summons, because whatever you were doing just got put on hold for a good 15 minutes minimum, he is honestly fun because of his BS. Even running endgame gear with a solid build, your going to have to pay attention when he pops up or you are going to die, which is refreshing.
Frankly if I want mythicals or blueprints I’m going crucible. Kuba farming is for kuba pants end of story. Just like SoT and BoC are really just for the legendary MIs dropped in each.
So is crucible when you are constantly dealing with near impossible combinations and randomly 100-0 because Zantarin give you the middle finger. :rolleyes:
Zantarin’s mechanics is totally predictable and telegraphed, if you die on him it’s your own fault only.
First, Zantarin is slow as snail and wont engage you in melee, if you dont make it yourself. In Crucible, you have enough time to kill all other enemies, before Zantarin even comes close to you.
Second, Zantarin’s only dangerous ability is his “vitality barrage”, and it’s dangerous only at close range (when all projectiles will hit you). However, this ability has a very long “cast time”, during which he waves his hand for 2+ seconds, without releasing any spells, etc. Even if you melee him, you have more that enough time to run away a bit. Since you should’ve killed all other enemies before, nothing will distract you from watching over Zantarin’s moves, and if you die from his barrage, it means you’re just playing bad - blame yourself.
I actually think that Zantarin is one of the best examples of design, that rewards for watching over enemy and repositoning yourself properly, and punished for blind rushing into the fray.
