Solved Temple Vipers too strong?

Hello,

I was wondering whether Temple Vipers are bugged or not.

They hit so much dmg? They kill my merc with 85 res and 28k def in 1 hit... And their poison drains my hp like im lvl 1 in act 2

 

Its working as intended, as blizz said. If you want to be invincible, just get about 50 pdr and you will be fine

8. post of this link gives a pretty good explanation.... https://www.diabloii.net/forums/threads/nihlathak-viper-problem.799564/

 

Are u talkin' about Hell difficulty Vipers or another ?
28k def kinda useless vs their Frost Spears and other Spells (cause casts goes through da defence)

 

Wasn't this the mob that Blizzard was confronted about before on being OP.

And to cover it up they just said that they meant to have it that way?

I agree tho... way OP.

 

I was wondering what's the logic behind making the vipers the most powerful mobs in the whole game ?

I'm very interested so see other players opinions on this matter and also we can do a little forum vote(in this topic or new?) to see what the majority (especially the HC players) will choose - "normalize" or stay as it was "meant to be"

 

There is nothing to "normalise", it is well known bug in more than decade old game

On hc, we usually tend to play carefuly, but you know, sometimes you just die to them (like my lvl 95 necro) )
