Re: Goliaths and their Tentacles
Actually, there is, strictly speaking.
It's an AoE attack that is centered on the player, but leaves one cardinal direction out. You dodge it by moving there.

Re: Goliaths and their Tentacles
HOLY FUCK.
If you were a miner and you couldn't figure out the attack pattern and how to DODGE the tentacles then you usually died and that was the punishment. Killing them with the KA or the resonator is easily some the easiest shit one can accomplish when you knew how to not get stunned.

Re: Goliaths and their Tentacles
I beat them without figuring out the pattern perfectly because I was a mining drone fighter and I just tag teamed it with my little robot buddy.
Thing is the original pattern was pretty fucking meaningless back when kinetic range was minuscule and you only real way to fight abusing it was was to plop resonator fields everywhere.

Re: Goliaths and their Tentacles
I don't think the health of the goliath has been touched. They still go down in, dunno, about 10 shots with the KA?
They have become a real joke and basically free upgrades. I avoid hivelords more than goliaths.
Things actually became interesting when you had to fight two goliaths at once - now it's just a matter of having to kite a little further. Very boring.
If you fight a goliath in melee, you are doing it wrong. Get a ranged weapon, mine for 5-10 minutes and then get your drone or scanner.
