Salutations, and a good day to you, sir!

It's your old buddy, Siggy. Of course, you may not have recognized me earlier, seeing as how I was playing as the lovable villain Heretyk; a Corruptor.
I would you to bring some of my feelings to your attention; I respect your position as the head of the 'Shaper Cult', your devotion to the Leviathan, and your duties as an Elite Boss. I understand that such duties are pivotal in your role of the cult, however, I've found that there have been several observations that have haunted me.
Firstly, I would like to know where you acquired the Slag Piles from. I'm aware that you've summoned these of your own will, but I, too, would like a summonable pet that is immune to both my Darkest Night, and Tar Patch, without suffering as much as one debuff.
Secondly, I would like to join you in the assumption that I, too, will be given an infinite number of Freakshow recruits to assist me when my HP drops by 1. They seem like agreeable folk who wouldn't mind following me around Sharkhead while I go grocery shopping, or for general villainry.
Finally, I'd like to inquire about your own body modifications. Upon joining, would I be given such modifications? Because the ability to drain roughly 350HP with a single slice seems like something both interesting and useful to me. It would perhaps interest me in melee combat, despite my position as a Corruptor.
Once again, I respect your position as an Elite Boss, and realize that you should have little problem taking down a single Villain by yourself; however, Barracuda was kind enough to give me a differing second opinion, even at differing levels, and the noticeable advantage of my endurance running out several times, preventing me from keeping my debuffs active.

I hope you consider me a candidate for your Shaper Cult, and all of these tricks that can decimate Villains within one hit or less. Write back to me soon!

Your's truly,

Heretyk

Oh god yes. I loled. I hate this guy. My Mastermind could barely solo him the second time around, and that allows for multiple target protection. o.o;

Dude, like Freakshow needed to be any more annoying, what with the flying juicer freaks, the meat doctors, the ability to come back to life after you killed them already, and every single one having Dull Pain.

But hey, at least they're not Circle of Thorns. Circle of Thorns makes me want to cry. Every time.

Dear Heretyk,

It is because you do not flow.

Heh, I had to stock up on oranges and purples with my brute to take him down the first time I fought him. Lots of fun though.

Oddly enough my Necro/Dark chewed right through him without much trouble.

Ambushes got you down? Do your EB's have more followers than a religious prophet? Then allow me to introduce you to the solution! Just give a call to......The School of Domination!

Yes, for the low low price of a team invite, you too can have a Dominator follow you around turning huge teeming spawns into blubbering idiots while you flay them alive! Act now and receive our Issue 15 special. That's right Villains, your very own Lord Recluse T-Shirt autographed by a certified Lord Recluse impersonator!

Don't delay, The School of Domination is just a /tell away!

I think I fought this guy on my Merc/FF and didn't do too badly.

Force Bolt, how I love thee.

I actually did this mission like, 15 minutes ago.

Freak Tanks already do obscene damage, he took me from 3/4 health to zero in one swipe... git.

I played a Thugs/FF and had literally no issue with him. Died once versus Barracuda due to a badly timed aggro. However, Calystix was a complete and utter disaster! I tried a ton of times to decimate his silly face off, to no avail. I simply hate that he is a Coralax/Psychic Mastermind (or some ridiculous combination thereof).

Perhaps having [Detention Field] could have isolated one of the pets... or maybe if I had tossed up PFF? I dunno, but I was frustrated to no end.

I'm befuddled... he's never given me any issues at all. D:

I am most sympathetic to your plight, however, as some other EBs have given me a run for my money.. and when it seems just plain unfair, you tend to get discouraged.

EDIT: On that note...

Dear Diabolique,

Don't run from me so often, baby. It's straining our relationship. I just want to talk! Aggressively. It's just how I am! Please, darling... let's just talk it out. For the wights.

Luvz,

I know! He's ridiculously overpowered. While my Mastermind was eventually able to kill the sucker after what seemed like an hour of melee, my Corruptor had to team to take him down.

Of course there'll be those elitists who say "eat more purples," but as I can tell you I was gobbling down five purples at a time... that didn't work.

The OP is very much correct to make this post.
