"Recieves over 100 points of damage while face tanking Skele Prime and nearly dies" hmmmm.
Look up what "cherrypicking" means because it's exactly what it means. But to entertain your argument,
the fact that it takes getting hit repetitively by by far the second most damaging mech boss attack before nearly dying is actually strengthening my point if anything.
Not to mention that earlier in the post you're quoting
I have specifically said most mech boss attacks:
[...]in seconds, including taking 1-5 damage from most Master mode mech bosses attack[...]
I watched this entire video and you just proved my point how bad and unsafe "true melee" "face tanking" strat is compared to literally every other ranged DPS strat.
Even though I take 1 or single digit damage from most boss attacks that I facetank, and proceed to kill them faster than almost if not all other builds in the respective tier? Answer me this, what is stronger? A build with far more survivability and almost always higher DPS, or a build with regular survivability and lower DPS when not facetanking?
Including your fails against Empress. Your usage ranged attacks and keeping distance to flatout not die. You not using "True Melee" at all against Moon Lord you used a RANGED melee (which i said before are superior compared to "true melee")
I don't remember saying that you could reasonably facetank every boss in the game, did I? Again, you're cherrypicking. My build in that video, mainly past Plantera, wasn't even particularly optimized at that point.
Since you want to argue about wording and semantics so much, answer me this too:
If I wanted to imply that the facetank strategy works on all bosses, then why did I start mentioning specific boss names instead of just saying "all" or "every"?
Also your edits especially in Lunar event fights are very suspicious. Oh my it's almost as if you used ranged attacks for majority of the event and just used your some of your "OP true melee" against stationary pillars
For someone who claimed to have watched the
entire video as you said, how did you miss the part where I said I was getting tired of editing the video and that there was not much left to show off, and that I was going to skim through the rest of the playthrough until the end? I would have pointed out that I focused on taking out crowds of enemies with Terra Blade close-range primarily and used Vampire Knives to heal damage when needed, but it doesn't seem you are remotely interested in facts at this point.
Everything you shown in the video can be done better with Ranged or Ranged Melee DPS and with less risk than "true meleeing"
X Doubt
You were called a liar for claiming that the mech bosses do single-digit damage. Your video shows the mech bosses doing significantly more damage than that; so it does not support what you said.
I did not say
all mech boss attacks (only said "most" even). My build wasn't even fully optimized for pure raw defense, I could have neglected dodge chance for example. Please pay more attention, that red vertical line you see for example? That's the number one:
Here's another part of the fight where I took 4 damage, albeit you need to look closely:
Just a few examples, and as the one who was playing the game and recording in the first place, I know it kept happening off-camera especially as Prime & Retinazer attempted to chip damage me with lasers.
The average Mech boss attack ranges from around 100 to 140 damage on Master Mode. Considering Defense in Master mode is 100% effective (meaning 1 defense = 1 less damage taken) combined with the fact you can get well over 100 defense with pre-mech equipment, the numbers themselves agree with me.
