Remove Brood Mother Surge

[Tearwerk]

Heart of the Wild expedition, 3 brood mothers casting Surge simultaneously and stunning inside the Surge. What the hell is this design?

[Twisty]

Which part? I only remember there ever being a single broodmother at a time in that expedition.

I dont think there are 3 brood mthfkrs encounters on any map

I think there are two. If you die to surge you need more resistance. Dying to their jump and swipe on the other hand...yeah that ♥♥♥♥ is cheap as hell

OP just probably doesn't zerg the bosses/elites in time. I've had a few maps where I'm fighting 3-4 crawlers or 2 brood mothers at one time because I was just trying to stay alive and kill the trash that kept annoying me.

You're supposed to zerg one down ASAP as soon as it pops out of its cave or whatever they come out of. So that way you are only fighting 1-2 at most. Same with Alphas. If you get say 6 Alphas you can learn the map and actually kill 1-2 as soon as they spawn so you only have to fight 3/4 at a time

thats one way. I would advise more dps instead.

i laugh that people are saying there cant be multiple brood mothers when its just them killing the first ones before the others appear

therefore, there can and will be multiple of them in a fight

They die so fast on CT15 I never noticed that there was more than one.

Try other classes than technomancer. Much more fun.

Sure. Sometimes that DPS depends on finding that one legendary that may or may not drop for the next 200 hours though. In that case, specifically against brood mothers and crawlers, having some resistance really does help. That surge will kill in 2 seconds without resistance, that's like 10 seconds with resistance.

Except Surge is also a long cast time with a big red circle that is super easy to avoid and not even be hit by.

If its not bugged and you can't see it.. and its not that long to cast.

Its at least a 2 second cast. Thats quite long. And even if you can't see it, if youre playing solo it will always be on you can the AoE is 2 rolls wide. Not hard to avoid at all.

Aww yeah 2 secs is super long.. If you can't see it you don't what is killing you.

It really is though.
Plus they have an animation for it.
Plus they only have 3 moves.
Plus 2 seconds is forever in a fast paced game where reaction time is needed.

But I understand it can be frustrating. Not everyone has the reaction time which is totally fine!
One tip I can give is look for the animation queue and remember their attack range.
