Missile Dampening mob + DH

[nerfmeplease]

Im not sure if this was intended by blizzard when they made the missile dampening. If you are a DH (probably more classes have a spell like this) you can use your nether tentacles elemental arrow on missile dampening mobs and it will constantly tick on them, because it is slowed instead of just passing through them. just took an inferno extra hp/vortex/missile damp/mortar mob out in less than 5 seconds with 3 minion mobs with him. the tentacles just sat on top of him and racked up huge damage all at once.

limited use but good to know i guess.

This is common sense, not an exploit.

To the guy above me, mobs types don't usually spawns anywhere. Their affixes are completely at random.

Thanks for the tip, yeah it is common sense but it is sort of a way to be exploited, but anyways, props for the advice, cheers!

I have had this happen today on Pony level. Pretty neat, but elites with shields like that are super rare.

I've seen 3 missile dampeners in 150 hours. More rare than legendaries drops..

this happened to me yesterday in ACT2, damp pack with mortar IK me but tentacles took them down from 100-0 while I was dead epic bug

How is a missile impacting 30+ times on the same mob not an exploit or bug? By the way, you have an awesome rep for being a plethora of knowledge, most of your posts are just bashing other people. shut up and continue lurking.

not much its same like if you say if mob is runing from you it can be hit by nether tentacle more than 6x some time even lot more if he runs same speed as flys nether tantacle

Creative use of game mechanics
not an exploit
