Bog Soldiers in Genesis need work
Character name: SystemFader
Server/World: Castle of Steel
Issue: Bog soldiers cleaving at INSANE distance, and dealing damage before animation is complete
Is this a bug? I believe so
How did this bug affect your gameplay: Unnecessary deaths in M10s
Were you able to recover from this bug: Yes, It is not game breaking, but gamers rely on things that make sense to avoid damage especially that this level of gameplay.
Video Clips
In the clip above, the Bog Soldier is seen in slow motion taking out 2 DPS halfway through his slamming animation. Not all of them behave like this. I do not have significant ping to the server and am playing through a wired connection on a desktop.
*note: I say in the video: “I 100% swept him before he got grit” after further review this is innacurate.
In this clip, I didn’t realize I was half health, and I rolled towards the soldier, but this ground slam they do does too much damage too far away.
The next attack I want to look at is the frontal mace slam. This is a very telegraphed forward facing attack, that even disturbs the ground. Yet it is hitting DPS behind them for THOUSANDS of damage. Literally half my health. The animation does not match where damage is being dealt. Either the animation should be changed, or damaged behind removed.
Final Thoughts
The Bog Soldiers, are insane, they basically just spam attacks over and over and all of them can one hit you in any direction at any range. I’m being hyperbolic a bit but something feels really off about them. Bosses in this dungeon have less one hit attacks and these mobs are EVERYWHERE griefing, the team. Gold is not impossible, in fact I would say its pretty easy. But nothing that these mobs do makes sense. Their damage doesn’t match their animations and it needs to be fixed.
If You’re wondering what gear I’m running in this m10 its linked below:

I am far from best in slot, but this is more than enough to be getting gold in mutations, which I regularly do. These mobs just feel over tuned even with full ward and full gem slots.
I do not make many post on the froums, but when I do, it’s about things that I think are broken and need to be fixed. Thank you for taking the time to read my post and I look forward to discussing it further in the comments.
