This is a feedback post (yes I know crazy)

Can whatever causes the mana drain be a little bit more obvious please
I've fought Fool Eater a couple of times from both beta and live server combined and I still haven't figured it out. I mean, the rest of the boss' attacks are relatively well-telegraphed but the mana drain from 100% to 0% in seconds honestly seem really random

I'm a Warp Arcanist so this becomes more of an annoyance than a direct gamechanger on the fate of the battle (1 tp cost) but it still just pans out the fight time by quite a bit

I'm a ranged class, I never get hit by the boss nor do I take damage during any of the periods of time where the drain occurs, I still have no idea if this is even avoidable

I mean, it has to be, right? I highly doubt the boss is specifically designed to make any class that relies on spells to be unusable

(Don't tell me what causes the drain btw, I still want to try and figure it out from fighting it alone to prove that this is obscure as hell)

Anyways if I can't pinpoint the actual mana drain attack or move myself then I really doubt most other people can without outside info

TLDR;
If the mana drain is intentionally unavoidable, ok cool that's all I guess but I would still be a little curious of the design decisions that went into this
If the mana drain does come from a specific attack, please make it clear that said attack is actually the one draining the player's mana thx

Every time I fight the boss I feel like I'm just like
Blind or smth lol

#

Not in the literal sense I mean just like "I feel like I'm really stupid and am missing something very very obvious right now"

speaking of fool eater, i think i fucked up its spawning by exiting its range on the third appearence. anyone know how to fix that?

if it doesnt, it has decided you arent worth the effort

hasn't shown up since that third appearance, where it definitely should have started the fight. im still 50/50 on it being a bug or not but i'll give it another 2-4 hours of checking spawn nodes before i make a bug report

It's the way you prevent the encounter just in case youre aware of it & are in a lootrun and need to abort the hunt

claw attacks and bite attacks (the two melees) and the weird projectiles drain mana

Ok cool that’s very nice

#

There goes that testing phase

#

(I don’t get hit by any of the melees, nor do I take any damage from whatever the projectiles are)
