Please nerf the 180 attack spin of Minotaur

Ok so I don’t think this is an issue with the minotaur , but with the game in general? It’s just that it becomes even more apparent on the minotaur because he has some very fast, high damaging attacks, but anyway, here goes.

I think the issue here is that enemies are beginning their attack animations while turning .

The animations while turning is one of the things, which is as you said a game thing. The Minotaur isn’t actually faster than other bosses (like Chaos Spawn or Rat Ogre). It is still bugged though with the headbutt standing attack hitting twice if a player is too close. Then you also have the fact that the second attack of its lunging combo does 50/50, for a massive 100 if it manages to hit you. The 50/50 attack doesn’t actually break your block any faster, but it does hurt a lot more if it hits you (E.G. If you have 30% BCR, the first hit in his lunge combo does 1 stamina shield, the 50/50 will also do 1 stamina shield but as half/half for a total of 1).

Minotaur's Problems

Minotaurs are no more resistant to damage than other bosses. They have “Berserker-like attacks” but are not actually berserkers. You kite it similarly to a rat ogre/spawn. The bosses in general seem to use similar profiles. Their timing for their “standard” attacks seems to be identical. Their “special moves” are a little different(E.G. Chaos Spawn grab or Minotaur charge). I think the Minotaur comes off as more aggressive because it hits with a single attack, then a double, then a single fo…

Minotaur was actually given some adjustments back in patch 2.0.13:

@Fatshark_Hedge

Added more voice and SFX variations for the Minotaur:

• Added more charge grunts and voice variations.
• Added special attack and pre attack voice varations
• Added short attack voice variations
• Tweaked axe swing volume.
• Made spawn sound more directional.

The changes didn’t affect the overall timing or behavior (because they were in line with other bosses, which is good) but it did help to telegraph its attacks better to players.
