I passed the forever eater, but the fight is so much overly complexed than the cabal and hive boss. The difficult difference shows a huge asymmetry. The suppression field and jail breaker buff thing is not necessary. And why on earth the buff only apply to one persons? And that eye is constantly playing hide and seek and this is no fun at all. 33lv players get crushed by detainment shield and no way to attack. A tons of snipers keep shooting, and they are even more than at templar fight! A gate lord can cast a containment shield far worst than templar and Atheon, this is utter bullshit and make this fight tedious. I enjoyed my first week in PoE, but this and dismantling mines in Skolas fight is just pure unnecessary and bad design. I don't oppose any boss fight mechanism, but the asymmetric difference in PoE boss fight is just revealing another bad design and testing problems.
Edit: this week Skolas is purely torture, I wonder did bungie tested the setting before releasing. I finished and got an arc PoE handcannon though, I spent 1 hour and 15 minutes last week, and 2 hours and 30 minutes this week. This is nonsense.
Edit: all these unnecessary stuff to make the game more difficult is driving me away from this game. Sure, people can beat whatever you throw at us as long as you let us in. But what is the point? You can make Crota summon his oversoul regardless of situation, people can find a way to beat him, but it is not fun at all. Right now, this gate lord is just like that. I bet Deej or even the devs themselves cannot beat this boss.

Edited by Guardian8711: 5/28/2015 9:56:30 PMmaxxed out 4th horseman can annihilate the detainment field with or without the buff. Step 1: head to the right side of the map. Step 2: hide behind the two covers, alternating between the two depending if you need some respite from enemy fire. Kill as many adds as you can, they will continually assault your hiding spot. Step 3: Once the detainment field is cast, use 4th Horseman to bust yourself out of it. Help your team mate and use the shotgun to clear out any yellow barred goblins that got too brave. Step 4: make sure your 4th Horseman is fully reloaded and ammoed up. *occassionally run out to grab some ammos the dead enemies drop. Step 5: Use heavies to dps the boss. Step 6: profit Tips for 4th Horseman use: hold down the fire button until you're out of the detainment field. Have the max reload perk for fast reloads. Edit: this method isn't as fast as the three 365 Gjally method, expect a long fight depending on how good your heavy weapons is.
