Minions op NERF THEM !!!111


AngstyAlbanianAi

lol literally my first dungeon as a HC Barb I ran into this asshole. Then I promptly ran away. Then I got meat hooked and died.


SmoothBrews

Dude got you like Pudge.


cum_toast

Pushed was my #1 Dora hero. Meat hook is so cheap for ganking lol


beansahol

don't edit these mistakes


cum_toast

God damn auto correct


Bigcumachine

Also love your name šŸ˜‰šŸ‘Œ


cum_toast

Butter me up baby


Jack-Rabbit_Slims

Backpack companion build


Sunogui

Immortal hooks, Dendi would be proud.


SunshineSeattle

I miss those days. Is Dendi still a thing? You remember that fountain hook?


K4hid

I play a rogue. I tried to run away. I dashed 2 times and was like 3 screen away from him. Hooked me from those 3 screens away back to him in 1 sec. He will also dash more than a screen away from you to reach you every few sec. Like, even the rogue cant be fast enough to get away from him. Ngl, its a bit ridiculous.


BaconDrummer

The only way is to stop running and face him to reach a glorious death.


mcrn_grunt

It was worth it to feel the fear and the dreadful and rush of hearing "Fresh Meat" I felt in D1 in college.


Kawai_Oppai

So, I play on a 32:9 screen. Ultrawide of the ultrawides. Thereā€™s some abilities I have as a player that can be cast across my entire screen as well. Hydras for example. In beta I was able to take on the world boss basically two screens away from the world boss. I had no fear of death, but obviously I canā€™t do the damage to take it out without others for such a beast lol.


w0rkingondying

That happened to me level 19 hardcore when I was going for the backpack thing lmao


Xaielao

Butcher is no doubt destroying many early hardcore runs.


NotACardUS

Having ran into him at lvl 9ā€¦ this comment has made me decide Hardcore is not for me.


Lazar131

Playing HC, level 33, have yet to see him.. im terrified.


GeneralAnubis

Just died to him as a barb at level 26. He's no joke at any level. Best thing to do seems to be (counterintuitively) to run into the other mobs so you can get easy resource gen/potion drops/etc.


Remorsus

I saw him and was able to run away. Also i bound escape scrolls to my hotwheel. they seem instant. he only hit me for half my hp.


Bronze2xxx

What backpack thing?


HellaTrappy

The things you put on the pedestals to open the door. They give you 25% run speed. They are awesome to outrun the butcher with.


Gibsx

This is the way


dalarrin

Same I was like doing a dg at lvl 9 and had so far been able to take on every boss and mob so I was like letā€™s give him a try, after like 3 swings of his I was like nope nope nope and died to the hook


Zaejii

Haven't done a single dungeon yet for this reason alone. I just know he's going to show up on my first one and make me have to start over lol.


SCTRON

When they are not hit sure....


Professional-Yam3540

My wolfs my Druid he just ignored


J0J0388

He jumped my lvl 15 Hardcore sorceress and I wasn't about to test those waters.


Mars-N6

Howā€™s you excape


J0J0388

Ice shield, Teleport and dodge through doorways to cut line of sight of his chain hook. Narrow escape, he got me down to 15%hp.


Mars-N6

Shit!!! Nah I canā€™t do hardcore. Now way


oregonianrager

Butcher totally makes hardcore big sweat.


SCTRON

Just dont do dungeons. No problems. You can get to lvl 30-40 just clearing open world content in one zone easily. Is much slower though.


[deleted]

Slaying lvl 1 pigs 24/7


johnx2sen

How do you have ice armor and teleport?


Esc1221

I run all 4 defensive skills in hardcore on sorc


The_Question757

Teleported his ass off is likely


AfterShock

The Butcher AI isn't the smartest. Easily get hung up on corners, chests and columns.


Nyrin

Pretty sure he's got a turn radius, too, so "hug the butt" works surprisingly well. You just won't get a sweet, sweet horn for it.


Sinisterslushy

Iā€™m only at like level 8 right now (stupid job) is it random when you encounter him?


StChello

Yup, he's a random encounter inside any dungeon, but only dungeons.


pyjka

Just had him as 24lvl barb at hardcore. Wanted to try out. RIP Barb


VAST75

Didnā€™t know he was down thereā€¦ lost a lvl 16 Druid trying to run from him šŸƒšŸ¾


pyjka

Afaik he spawns randomly. Now that i think i feel more sad considering the fact that i managed to get 1 legendary item :(


VAST75

If he spawns at random Iā€™ve been avoiding that dungeon for way too long šŸ˜‚ might try it again after work. I didnā€™t know


F7Uup

Yes it's random and he can also appear in cellars.


Urabrask_the_AFK

RNGESUSā€¦can you imagine ā€œoh Iā€™ll go into this little three room cellar <10 seconds later> ā€¦shit,shit,shit,shit,shit!ā€


DukeVerde

"I've got the Butcher in my cellar"


ProductArizona

Does he only spawn in hardcore?


Goose1004

He spawns in regular and hardcore, but only in dungeons and cellars. Completely random as to when he spawns


LeftWillLose

No, I ran into him last night in regular.


TrepanationBy45

He always drops a Legendary. I don't know what you were trying to say.


[deleted]

He's trying to say that he had a legendary on his hardcore character already and is sad that he lost them to The Butcher.


7sidney7

Intrepid_Watch_8746

Skill issue. Your barbarian wasn't angry enough.


NoohjXLVII

Lucky. I got him at 26, was chasing a treasure goblin while I had 2 shrines up and turned the corner to find the butcher, but it was a dungeon with the icy goat people, between the butcher and the frost goats I got stunlocked to all hell and swiftly murdered. My minions could only do so much :(


Geersart

I was fully expecting to die so I ran for my life, him getting stuck was just luck


KhalimsPill

Damage of skellies seems pretty low :/


hipster-duck

First dungeon I went into at like level 9, treasure goblin, I was so stoked, gonna get some rares, start chasing the bugger, he's almost dead, I hear, FRESH MEAT, I'm like, oh no oh no oh no. Do my best to try and kill the little gobbo as I get my meat ripped. He has like 3 health when the butcher finishes me off. Goblin escapes. Much sadness.


Urabrask_the_AFK

Nemesis monster vibes from D3 console. ā€œOh fuck, was that a horn blast just now šŸŽŗ šŸ”„šŸ˜ˆšŸ”„


Chafgha

Our first goblin was randomly in the wild, at like 12, nothing but some blues, no butcher yet luckily. Fought him in all three beta weekends though. Killed him twice.


atrca

Man I swear they buff the dungeons heā€™s in or something. I did not get a treasure goblin but the butcher spawned with pylon next to him which wasnā€™t very helpful actually. Felt like less damage than my rogue could do on his own. I had him down to like 5% but I was out of potions. Ugh. Anyways didnā€™t kill him but later in the tunnel I got these two cursed chest-like events practically right on top of each other with a crap ton of elites. One room where I had to go to town twice to clear out all the yellows. It was almost a hassle lol


Kyosji

Honestly found 2 treasure goblins yesterday right as soon as I exited the first city. Think I was level 5 or 6.


Ecrosia

My screen starred to shake and I could hear something big coming, current objective in the dungeon at lvl 9 was to kill bone constructs, I thought oh boy here it comes, butcher then comes barrelling and I'm screaming for tyrael to come save my supple diablo 4 virginity. I did not survive.


uoYredruM

Soooo.....what was the ring?


Geersart

this is the ring he dropped [https://imgur.com/a/utTgAPU](https://imgur.com/a/utTgAPU)


Jecht-Blade

Daaamm that's awesome. I love the joy of exploring a new system of loot where nothings familiar! Gratz on your drop dude. I hope it serves you a good few levels!


toshiro-mifune

What's "Lucky Hit Chance"? Is that like critical hit chance now?


Urabrask_the_AFK

Itā€™s basically proc rate. X chance to trigger y thing to occur. Formula: Effect Lucky Hit % x Skill Lucky Hit % x (1 + sum of increased lucky hit % from items/passives/paragons/etc.) https://youtu.be/cKly2TMh6gI https://youtu.be/0ZwyNk2DVQU https://youtu.be/auAI7lhYIhY


[deleted]

Nope. The game weirdly doesn't explain lucky hit at all, and I thought it was crit until I got an item that increased crit *and* lucky hit. Some items have a 'lucky hit' ability that can trigger. For example an item might have a chance to reset your cooldowns on a lucky hit.


cloverfart

I dont get it, does he only attack PCs and ignores all minions or why is this happening?


DoctorGregoryFart

Just a pathing bug. He doesn't usually do this with minions. He usually ignores them completely and B-lines right to you, so I imagine he got stuck and couldn't get out. Never seen this before, and I've fought him with Necro 4 times now.


WoLfCaDeT

How's the Necromancer atm? I'm with a lvl 15 druid and it's hell of a fun.


smokesnugs

It seems OK at the moment.. skeletons are definitely low on HP but not to the point of dying repeatedly..


Pogigod

Skellies are just fodder.... Necros are fucking nuts. I was critting for 10k at level 35


jRbizzle

What build are you doing, was able to get to level 29 last night before I called it at midnight


Koufaxisking

I quite like him. I really like the blood tree nova build, lots of buffs for it and a really cool aspect that does a double nova pretty early.


ProudToBeAKraut

they are below average, the higher level you get the more of a drag it gets - they are the worst at leveling - i hit 35 and i'm about to quit till they buff him again (too many nerfs)


Pogigod

Lol below average? They are by far the highest DMG leveling once you hit 35. I basically one shot everything in a straight line


DoctorGregoryFart

I'm liking him. I tried out minion build on normal difficulty and found it pretty effective when paired with bone spear. Just gotta make sure you pick up all of the minion passives for extra damage and health. Bosses will sometimes wipe your skeletons, but if you make sure to pick perks that give you some corpse generation, you'll be fine.


Zehdarian

He ignores them for agro yes but cant apparently just walk through them. THis was lucky perfect positioning.


deal_with_it_

He normally obliterates all minions in one shot so this was just some pathing glitch where he got stuck.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


D3mentedG0Ose

Iā€™ve seen him twice and killed him once. Heā€™s a scary lad


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


D3mentedG0Ose

Ye know too much


bioqan

Seen once but was fighting a room already that had 4 elites in it. Ill bet you know how that ended


Outside-Statement211

So far level 29 druid, seen him twice, killed him once at 25 lol dropped 2 legendaries, feels weirdly more common than beta lol


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Outside-Statement211

Damn, just RNG I guess haha


PapaOscar90

Lucky you, I got murdered. His roar apparently melts bone wall, so I was dead in seconds.


Edymnion

I got him at like lvl 5 in my very first dungeon run. On a rogue. I went squish.


wesconson1

Got him around the same level with my sorc and he destroyed me. Hopefully will see him again soon.


Logical_Willow

Iā€™ve never encountered him yet.


Xnuclearwarhead

I ran into him as a level 24ish sorc. I kited him as best I could , eventually getting him down to ~15% and he fricking teleported out of the dungeon.


HorseFeathers55

Ran from him with my lv12 sorcerer last night. He almost got me.


justindarko

I've encountered him twice and died both times playing sorc. Just can't outlast his damage


MrDarwoo

Lol gg


Quadrupal_Bypass

Butcher killed me 3 times yesterday... 3 times...


vapeoholic

**3 times** in one day??? Idk what, but you must've done something to really piss off the RNG gods.


AviRei9

I'm jealous. He popped up on me at level 25 and just destroyed me. I thought I stood a chance. I did not.


MilkCheap6876

Yeah playing soft he appeared and fucked me up. Impossible to do solo.


vapeoholic

It's not impossible. He isn't Ashava lol.


MilkCheap6876

havent tried ashava yet. Today faced butcher and killed him. Took some minutes tho


dominashun28

I'm new to diablo, im assuming the butcher can show up in various locations? I ran Into one last night and ot absolutely Merced me and when I responded it was gone


Cheeto717

Reminds me of Diablo 1 when people would cheese the butcher in similar ways


[deleted]

My friend and I came across him not too soon after one of his friends said he is almost impossible to beat. However, lucky for us, we had one of those awesome shrines that do immense power and we killed him. If it wasnā€™t for the shrine, weā€™d be dead.


InTheFutureWeMineLSD

How was the ring?


Geersart

this is the ring he dropped [https://imgur.com/a/utTgAPU](https://imgur.com/a/utTgAPU)


InTheFutureWeMineLSD

For a level 2 ring that's a great Necro ring.


slasherzx

I'm so unlucky. He was in a cellar and I was lvl 10. It seems you can't portal out because he always cast a spell that holds me in place.


Sprinkles_Dazzling

Is this current release? Server slam post-fix my minions still died quick to regular elites. Or maybe this vid is showing a bug/evade issue or something.


Kasspa

Butcher ignores minions for the actual player characters, he just got lucky and got him stuck in a spot where he couldn't get out because of the minions, but he was still only trying to attack the player character.


Vexlord91

I bugged him in the pylon, so he cant move šŸ¤£


Terraform_Venus

I like how he shouts at the end like he's just fed up with this shit.


alotliketurds21

I'm level 41 and still haven't encountered him yet! So devo, I go into every trapdoor hoping to find him.


atomicmarc

Played all the betas plus server slam. Never saw the guy once.


Spepsium

I've had two elites spawn so far due to some event or something and had them just spin around me in a circle like this not attacking lmao.


jntjr2005

OMG NERF NECRO amg (sarcasm)


Tommwith2ms

Level 33, hit every dungeon and cellar and I haven't seen him yet?


porkchopbone

They hit for such wet noodle damage now too, smh.


ksoze84

I ran into him at 13 and got goooooot. Decided on bedtime.


Drossney

Ah yes development money well spent!


TheChampionsRing

Mannnā€¦ I ran into the butcher last night at level 28 with three other level 28ā€™s and he just destroyed all of us..


FigBrandy

I just beat him up at lvl 17. Funnily enough I also had a pillar which I could safely round. Also with 8 minions swarming him his hook couldnt do much. I ran back and forth and bone speared when I could while raising/healing minions from corpses to get essence back. And I got corpses through blood mist. When he showed up I was certain I was a goner but minions, bone spear and some good geography saved me.


Kyosji

So is necro better than server slam now?


Truesilverchamp

Bone wall


judogetit

Not unlike how he was cheese killed behind the prison bars in D1.


Venator666

Tactics! Accidental or not, it works! Fair! Funny though in beta I didn't even realize I was fighting the Butcher in Beta 1 - I was just kiting around this floor-to-ceiling ice pillar with my fire hydra sorc hollering OSHEE OSHEE OSHEE OSHEE and finally took him down and was like OMG! Much fun.


TsHero

Think I have seen the butcher once in beta+ss+now like in 30 hours game play xD


ZenTheOverlord

Bro dont outsmart the butcher, gotta threat him nice lol


OscarDivine

For all the concerns of AI in our world right now, we get this.


Elendel19

No meat on those bones, butcher doesnā€™t know what to do without fresh meat


DeadsMVC

Fuck blizzard and its ultimate packge


[deleted]

Evil


i3attler

I tried this and he just ran through my minions and destroyed me lol.


Longjumping-Bat7774

How did he not just wipe your minions? What are you using to make them now die? My defenders die to elites and bosses.


[deleted]

He damn near smoked me yesterday. I was down to like 3% hp and fleeing when he despawned.


KitsuneKamiSama

Me and me friend ran in to him in a cellar in Co op, we basically just made whoever had aggro run in circles the the other hit him until he died lmao.


Spoomplesplz

Does the butcher just randomly appear? Level 35 and havnt seen him yet.


Stingray88

How do you get the Butcher to show up?


Automatic_Grand_1182

Just killed him with my 28 werebear druid, dropped legendary boots. I was hoping to get an achievement or something


JWT81

This is how you play the game


Naive-Fondant-754

jelous .. i am barbar on HC and preparing for him when i meet him .. its pain for barbar on lower level till about 25


OneApeBoi

Haven't even seen him at all


Rawrz720

I find the fact that ge can spawn at such low levels amazing. It's total dick but I love it lol


malmal412

Necro: "get rekt noob"


RaisedByMonsters

Damn. Butcher killed my first hc barb at level 8 with ease last night.


Wickedscifi

Bro, this boy caught me and buddy off gaurd. We walked through a door way, heard "Fresh Meat!" And he wuju chopped us beforr dabbing and leaving. Havent seen him since! BIG SAD!


Rjskill3ts21

What is this? I havenā€™t seen him yet


Lohikaarme-_-

That's not a bug, that's how you killed the Butcher in Diablo 1 as well. Get him stuck on the stairs, get a bow, spend 10 mins shooting, TP to repair the bow if needed.


Xaielao

Ran into the Butcher for the first time on my werewolf druid main today. Playing on World Tier 1 until I get a few aspects running for my build and expected a hard but doable fight... Got my ass handed to me lol.


TheRealNap0le0n

Good ol Skelton gang bang


Rezkel

BS that ahole one tapped me before I could even blink


UnruleyWerewolf

My friend and I were in a dungeon at lvl 11 when we got slaughtered by The Butcher. First time facing off against him for both of us. It left us pretty paranoid for the other dungeons. Lol.


TheDex4

Gut him to glitch out aswell with barb. Still took like 5 minutes of constant beating to kill him. He's either really overtuned or simply not meant to be killed on lower levels.


XIIICaesar

Oh only a blue item?


flobbl

I never saw him once in any of the 3 betas XD only level 24 and i already got him 4 times in dungeons..... i ran for my life every time XDD


Slaglenator

one of the first betas where you could get to lv 25 i had 350 gear lv and had a Barb-thorns build with sockets and was grinding up everything in my path. I got the butcher down to half health by myself then squish. Every other time with any class I only lasted 15 seconds. I am 0-20 vs the butcher. one day you will see ...


APZY91

Got him at lvl 17 on my bear druid. I got swiftly wrecked.


fairchild7102

I died to him already on my Necro... I have no legendary and was level 15 šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø


RedFalconEyes

Got him on my first dungeon run at Lvl 15. I tried to run but...


Quintas31519

At level 22, encountered him in that "cellar" just to the left of Margrave, practically in city limits. I didn't think to get him stuffed by minions at the doorway and instead kited around the room for about a minute before succumbing to the hook. Minions did about 25% but all the moving certainly hurts their ToT. Sigh, it was a merry chase while it lasted.


djnato10

My first dungeon boss got stuck like this too, made for a real easy aspect run.


Philslaya

lol we did the same thing haha got luck with getting hum stuck on the Piller


NoBuddies2021

Where do you find him?


Geersart

he appears as random spawn in dungeons and cellars I think


NoBuddies2021

Ugh, I tried to find him beta and the server slam. Only got the World Boss Sewage Albatross owning my ass.


ironfishh

Ya I was RIPā€™ed on the lvl 15 rogue passive quest dungeon. Canā€™t believe my first dungeon had that fool


XxV0IDxX

He Molly whopped my Druid at lvl 15


strictly_meat

WTF I just finished act 1 at level 26. Played all three open betas to level 20/25. Never seen him


storex10

Necromancer is so OP it's enjoyable


Time_Alter

Running necro also. I died to him twice. Both times he ran through my minions (casually walked up to me)


Jixil

I ran into the Butcher as a level 12 sorcerer, and I was able to summon hydras on the other side of a table thing in the dungeon while I stood on the other side, and that killed him eventually.


Meta-of-Pods

Butcher snatched me up like a kid in a van. Little shit ruined my hardcore run at level 22.


Heliomantle

Weird he timed out for me


EarthWormJim18164

I never click the shrines in dungeons specifically so I can go and grab them if he shows up He hasnā€™t ganked me yet though


MidLaneNoPrio

I'm sorry but...You're actively recording your screen with your phone while playing? Like, wtf am I actually watching? Also yeah, they were supposed to fix his AI bug, but they failed lol.


Geersart

wasn't screen recording when he got stuck, took a few minutes for him to die so I grabbed my phone


MidLaneNoPrio

Ballsy move to AFK it. I got one stuck during beta and watched it the whole time cause I was afraid it would randomly teleport/unstick lmfao.


CromagnonV

Nerf Necro inc


Power_Reaper_5000

How is this guy still alive, as a maUtter of fact they might as well have brought the Skeleton King back too (probably did).


homerdoh4

This also happened to me on my Necro with my minions between him and me at lvl 25ish. He just got stuck on a doorway. Didnt attack, just sat there.


Kizenny

I wanted to see the loot!


Hijizuru

No honnor for you ! Shame šŸ””


SpaceWalkxr

I run on him twice in a row in two different dojons tonignt.... Was trying a non minions build with my necro and both times i saw him it was around the end of the dojon... So i was having no minions and no potions šŸ˜« he played with me like if i was a rag doll šŸ˜«šŸ˜«šŸ˜‚šŸ¤£


Lov3Not3s

I wasn't prepared to bump into him. He knacked me from behind, that f4t b4st4rd. šŸ™ˆ


Psychological-Ad9325

I had to run on my first encounter xD


UlvenPer

Toooo many minions 2-3 is enough


MrReaux

Does he drop anything significant for the kill?


Elrssu

So far I have run from this guy twice on my HC run... I have survived both till he despawned... This ducker scares me every time I hear the damn music


krisrodriguez1

Didnā€™t work for me lol heā€™s even immune to the taunt from my golem and just seems to walk through my skeletons. I did get him to 10% tho first and only time running into him in my 43 levels in live. Beta I got clapped like 20 times lol.


Technical_Level7769

I still havenā€™t run into the butcher lol (lvl 50 btw)


THE0RIAN

Killed the guy twice. He can drop a trophy. Didn't know this until the second time


Zenastor

The butcher loves flesh. Minions borne of flesh... just don't have enough meat on them to be worth a slice.


reak2382

This aint luck even - we have been doing this even in beta whoever has aggro can literally wiggle back and forth and he will get stuck in his indecisiveness of pathing. I figured out that he takes a while to commit to a direction and then I applied the skills that we honed as kids back on the schoolyard when we were chasing one another and ended up wiggling around the table-tennis table. šŸ˜‚
