one thing i'm constantly in awe of is ben's tech swaps, it's so cool to watch him round out the edges of his char depending on the situation. well done again ben. how many times can one person re establish themselves as the goat? sheesh.
Bro people are talking about the feared fight but that uber uber elder fight was INSANE to watch man like there's so many things that can just 1shot him and Ben is perfectly positioning to dodge shit and place things or face shaper in a certain way, and some shit is so close lol. Yeah spell block helped but goddamn that was a treat to watch
Tbh only shaper/elder slam and huge flameblast can 1shot him. He can tank a single flameblast, stormcall, or elder nova. Most of the dmg Ben took came from elder tentacles and phys degen puddle. Still, sick moves from Ben
@@aryabloodborn8160 Yeah the issue is in this fight is that as it goes on (especially for his build) there is so much degen everywhere. So if he takes a hit that barely doesn't kill him (eg ~90% of his hp) he needs to make sure he actually has the hp to tank it (not be in/near degen) + make sure he doesn't die instantly to degen afterwards. This is quite difficult :D
Congratz Ben! Lot of fun watching you this gauntlet. I can't imagine how you manage the nerves on these fights. I'm jumping out of my seat basically just as a spectator.
Dude you’re a god. I can’t even begin to fathom beating the regular bosses ssf and you’re crushing ubers and feared in hcssf with all those mods. That feared and elder fight had me on the edge of my seat especially when I saw a row of empty flasks. Respect!!!
A moment back, before this gauntlet. Zizarans twitch-chat was having a debate that Ben is just THIS good because he practise and is very dedicated to what his doing. Basically most of us could challenge Ben, if we just put in the same time and dedication that he does. To a point, yeah I agree, its true, but its more to it... My saying however was that regardless of how much time and effort you put in, 99.99% of the people will never be even CLOSE as good as Ben is. Zizaran highly disagreed with me, and ofc alot of yes-sayers in Zizarans chat took his side. Im still comfortable that im right, this gauntlet shows you that beeing born with "gaming genetics". (And yes ofc there is such a thing in all sports and activities, anyone cannot be a Wayne Gretzy, or a Ronaldo, computer games are no different). This in combinatio of putting in time and effort and beeing dedicated to what youre doing, creates the ultimate combination. Seeing how few misstakes this guy makes over a full week of playing and then just execute everything to basically perfection is just crazy to a life-time-slightly-above-medioker gamer as myself... Well done and well deserved.
Yeah I agree with you. It does take a lot of mental and emotional talent to be this good. Genetics are very important in development. I mean a lot of can probably get very good at these fights, but Ben level good? Not likely.
There is definitely a level of innate skill there too. It's not just knowledge. Not really that surprising out of someone affiliated with Limit/Liquid.
only way to stop him is to increase portal consumption, to the point of no log out maybe? but no way ppl gonna redo it again it's stupid. it's already taking him more than a week to finish the thing. This is the limit! That is the limit! It's alright! Rest to see someone surpass him, no need to push the limit anymore, ppl gonna hate Ziz and ggg forever if they want every single soul to die in the gauntlet it's not gonna even be playable
@@sythanh14 only way iy to make it easier and to get more people to get the chance to be fast . racing. jung is very good at it while listening to strange music
That is absolutely insane. I struggle to beat regular Uber bosses on softcore, meanwhile this man doing it on the hardest gauntled like it's nothing. Absolute Legend.
I actually started playing hc ssf cause of the gauntlet and it's amazing how many things there are to learned after 2k h in sc. And there are many hc ssf guilds willing to help out. The community is amazing. So maybe give it a try.
@@zixter4756 I’m in the exact same boat. I’ve played SC, started in breach league and have only really played trade since then and followed guides without actually learning much. The gauntlet was brutal to me for the campaign because I’m so used to dying and being like ok I barely learned let’s go again or not fixing the problem and just adding more dps. I started an hcssf character yesterday and the game feels night and day easier post gauntlet. Using this as the time to actually learn and progress. It’s weird in this game that when you start going slow, your ability seems to speed up.
@@lootlord That's awesome! Yeah going from gauntlet to regular hc ssf is like a different game, don't need to be paranoid of random rare mobs chunking you 😅. Hope you find a good guild so you can avoid mistakes. I joined one with really experienced players today and look forward in progressing my build and interacting with people. Also looking forward on getting revenge on act9 shavronne that killed my gauntlet char yesterday haha.
Out of all the ubers I still think the ubershaper was the sketchiest for me to watch. Still you're a gigachad with balls big enough to make exarch blush.
@@jedrusnowak3317 Oh that's for sure but his ubershaper had few moments where I thought he would log out and he didn't so it was a bit more stressful to watch.
@@GRIMHOOD99 true he was a little to cocky in Those fight. Shaper is the easiest one do probably he was too chilled out. Fun fact i did every Uber in ssf hundreds of times but never uber Uber elder. This fight is just a DPS check. Every Uber can be done with moderate damage and skill but Uber Uber arena is deadly too fast so u just need to phase them
@@MyNameIsSalo true. Its pointless for me. Why do a Uber of an Uber PLUS something. What if they now made Uber Uber Uber Sirus. U have to fight uber Uber elder plus sirus so Uber Uber Uber elder and Uber sirus in Uber mode... Huh
Uber elder has to be one of the best arpg fights of all time. Like 5 years later and GGG has yet to make a better fight. The pacing of the fight is insane and it always comes down to the entire arena flooded with shit and 1 portal left, every time. I love the desperate attempt to kill shaper ASAP after his last immune phase, ignoring all ground degens and tanking stuff that probably shouldn't be tanked
While not their personalities, but ben gives me Reckful vibes when I watch him play. Reckful always played top tier in whatever game he went hard at, whether it be wow, typeracer, hearthstone etc, he was amazing. I like so many others, I'm in awe watching Ben play PoE, especially during gauntlet week. I've got a few thousand hours into the game and I'll never be able to wrap my brain around half the tech he figures out, let alone transitions that into the fights. Congrats, amazing play as usual.
At this point Gauntlets are just a game mode for Ben to have fun in while others work their asses off tryinf to surpass him and fail, repeatedly, indefinitely.
Dude your a MONSTER. people don't realize how big of a gaming achievement this is. Seriously. This is up their for me for best gaming achievements of all time.
@@ReallyNotAGoose I also heard ziz say they wanted more AoE but some bosses' abilities would fill the entire arena hahaha so that wasn't also an option
Jung's run was more exciting, unfortunate how the transfig gems hit him. Had they been both free to play dd and bt they would have probably competed evenly and earlier. Same with exile...
Dropping damage and hp to account for the more damage taken and less damage taken by monsters. His test char was generally running with 3 to 4k hp and 400k poison dps his gauntlet char had 6k+ hp and 1.1m poison dps. This was to account for the upwards of 80% inc dmg and 50% less damage taken by mobs.
"So one change I made last night when I was asleep".
Bro.
That got me. It probably says everything about him. 😅
that feared was so exhausting to watch, let alone play, great performance
Yet, that was the lesser scary fight. Insane.
one thing i'm constantly in awe of is ben's tech swaps, it's so cool to watch him round out the edges of his char depending on the situation.
well done again ben. how many times can one person re establish themselves as the goat? sheesh.

The dodges on the elder slam are next level.

Usually it's hard to notice mechanical skill when you watch someone play this game, but when I watch Ben it's obvious. Insane performance.
There is a conspiracy that Ben is the prototype for AI
Congratz Ben! Lot of fun watching you this gauntlet. I can't imagine how you manage the nerves on these fights. I'm jumping out of my seat basically just as a spectator.
Congratz on your quartely paycheck!
Great performance Ben. You are one of a kind bro! I really enjoy watching you play.

The dude has incredible awareness in poe and wow, and that cant be totally learned, not in the way it is for people who rise to the top.
nobody can stop him
Next gauntlet can. 100% reduced damage taken for ubers haha

Great to watch over the past week, epic gameplay
Well done, its awesome watching these kills. Great edits as well, thanks for sharing! :)

You are just built different. One of a kind ! GG
Never doubted for a second, was just a question of when. Well done sir!
God gamer, congratz !
Absolute god. You deserve every view, like, and subscribe that comes your way.
Ben progs faster than me on HCSSF Misery than I do on SC Trade 😂
The best part is, done on a witch while the rest of the homies rocking the beefy boys.
GG. Sir, you're the best at this game. This was very entertaining.
A neat way to do gem bans would be to only ban the skill that won last gauntlet, that's it.
GGWP!
Absolutely insane gameplay. Goat 👑
lol that feared was insanely well played , i wonder how would be a gauntlet not clearable for ben, imagine next gauntlet mods
Ridiculous. That entire Feared fight was complete stimulation overload.
omen's are really hard to farm, they are almost invisible until you are ontop of them.
Out of all the ubers I still think the ubershaper was the sketchiest for me to watch. Still you're a gigachad with balls big enough to make exarch blush.
Uber Uber elder is objectively hardest one. Too much can kill you. No other u we fight Has so many deadly shit around

congrats!
casually rolling a new life flask for feared lmao goat

What I learned watching this Gauntlet is Ben's untouchable and having a large life pool with defiance of destiny is gg.
I think i developed anxiety by just watching that feared fight
dudes beyond god tier gamer
GJ!
What is key combo to unsocket all gems at once and to put them back? Thanks in advance.
Gz ben 🎉
Gz mate ;) gj
He does it again!
just insane
Literal god!
Ziz should make another much harder gauntlet just for Ben solo show
next gauntlet should be that everyone gets ben character with the same setup and most uber kills get the win
to be fair, that was this gauntlet. Its only going to get harder from here, they cant dial it back, itll be boring
this man is crazy
Just incredible.
God amongst all gamers, why roll the all at once mod on the Feared though?
You are god gamer bro ggs
quin will be furious but nevertheless... you are the mvp. respect and i gave you my prime on day 2 knowing what will happen. what a god gamer
Will prob remember this gaming god forever but GGG did not pay for him to go to exilecon strange move
just insane.
uber uber elder may be scary... But Uber Uber Ben is scarier
GGs the poe GOAT
All hail Ben.
the guy litterally playing tohou right now

Next gauntlet we will have +8 proj😂
Bosses will get returing proj

surely, next gauntlet will be no flask mode, so ben will have to sweat a little more than this time
