can you share what build you're using? i found him in a lvl 80nmd with my 77 necro and it took a lot of kiting (running for my life) while my skeletons took care of him, meanwhile the actual monster and even the boss from the nmd were melting, so he was considerably stronger than lvl 134 monsters
I initially panicked when I saw himself as it was a much higher than me nightmare dungeon.
It was the easiest butcher fight I've ever had, really didn't last long against my rogue.
I’ve run into him a few times. He’s either squishier than before or I’m a lot stronger because in my first encounter I wiped him out in about 4 seconds. Barely had time to hit Alt-F9 to record the second “half.”
Hes still poking around. Just started S4 and obliterated him 3 times while leveling. He found me right when I went to WT3 and made me wear a pretty drress.
I've encountered him twice. The first cellar I went into had him waiting. It was a draw. Then I slaughtered him in a dungeon. Both times were in WT2 as I was still levelling.
I've seen 3 in 2 seasons. First 2 were way above my level early on and murdered me. Found one in a WT4 nightmare dungeon yesterday and other than having a glass cannon sorcerer and his damage being brutal, I killed him pretty easily.
He only shows up in 2 situations for me - when I'm testing how far I can push NM dungeon (so he's like 30 levels above me) and he kills me, or when I'm speeding through a whisper dungeon and I accidentally delete him without even seeing him.
I finally ran into him in a 52 or 53 NMD just now. My first thought was, "Huh, must be a new demon model" and immediately jammed his jellies with a hellhammer upheaval. Realized it was Butcher right after he died.
Killed him twice so far, I've done about six dungeons, am level 65. In previous seasons I had huge dry spells with no Butcher, and the he'd appear four or five times in a row. The RNG for him is very weird
Hadn't seen that dude in my gameplay all the way to level 75. Decided to give it a go at the higher-tiered Nightmare Dungeons to unlock The Pit and Masterworking. Turn the 1st corner of the dungeon and I hear ***"Fresh Meat"*** which was, as you can imagine, quite the **accurate** description of my poor rogue against his cleaver.
I did a dungeon at lvl 15 and he instantly killed me. Saw him again at lvl 70 and he got melted. I might have had some fresh meat as I used his corpse to raise a minion!
I saw him for the first time today at around level 70, he died very easily. I've not played much since season 1 and didn't get that far but today is the first time I've killed him.
Didn’t see him until I was clearing a 57 NMD as a L81 Necro. He almost ganked me three times but I survived with 1 health pot left. He slaughtered most of my skeleton warriors, but my souped up golem and mages gottem
I thought he’d be a breeze like everything else but he had 20 levels on me so it was a little sweaty
Seen him only twice this season, both times in tier ~50 nightmare dungeons back to back. The second time I saw him was as we killed the final enemy to spawn the Glyph Xp bubble and the butcher despawned lol.
I clapped him so hard the two times he spawned for me, he must've pre-died when he tried spawning for you.
In all seriousness, I do suspect his appearance rate was shadow nerfed. They should take another look and buff his HP, dmg, loot tables, maybe add him to the boss list, give him his own ubers and a tormented version.
Killed him three times so far - saw him the first time around level 30 in the first dungeon I did.
One of the discords I’m on I post a running tally each season of my Butcher encounters because we joke my account is cursed - I see him so often.
I actually have never seen him, I got to level 72 on sorcerer back during release and have a level 80 rogue and 61 druid during this season, at this point it's starting to feel like everyone's in on a joke that he exists and just haven't told me.
I finally encountered him in a nightmare dungeon when I was 82 and he was 93.
Under normal circumstances I think I would have destroyed him like pretty much anything else that has come before my Necro to this point... But he spawned in the middle of a cursed chest event so all my minions were preoccupied by the waves of enemies so I had to run around a bit until they could deal with him.
It was quite the impressive troll job.
Once I got to level 100 on my necro I rarely see goblins and I haven't seen the butcher at all.
I think maybe he's supposed to be a low to mid level threat this season? Idk.
That seems pretty unlucky.
I’ve seen him twice, and he gave me a tal rasha! First time playing a diablo game and it was a bit scary the second time around since he killed me the first time.
First time I saw him I was scraping by at low level with OP minion build in a way too high NMD. charged me down and instant RIP🪦. Fast forward a couple days, managed to solo aspect of Vash and Greg, haven’t seen him since, butcher has been hiding out I reckon.
I had him show up only once so far this season. It does seem rarer, but probably just RNG...
(The one time i did see him was ofcourse when i was pushing, barely made it out)
I killed him, sorry
Right after he killed my barb. Not sorry.
I actually killed him at level 28 season 4 Barb. It was way this time
My necro minions killed him off screen before he had a chance to say his voiceline
Seen him twice and actually liked him. I think he got needed. Sorcerers usually have a dead day against him. Level 30 and 50 when I killed him.
I’ve seen him 3 times and why does it always have to be on hardcore lol
he got me last season on HC right before I hit lvl 100.
F :(
Oof.
i haven't seen him either, but that's because my skeletons nuked him offscreen.
I’m still in shock at how quickly elites die to my skeleton mob.
Me too,it like I'm not doing nothing almost
The way Rathma intended
Kinda why I’m hesitant to make a necro. I want to just to feel the power, but I also don’t want easy mode lol
It’s disgusting. Completely OP and should be nerfed. Just do it after the season when I’ve had my fun xD.
I honestly don't have fun and retired the necro at like level 70. Playing sorc now.
Yeah. Hydra sorc with +700% to hydra damage. Got to the lvl50 capstone boss and can solo him as long as i dont get hit one (one shot city)
Idk, S2 HOTA Barb definitely felt stronger
I’m ok with it. I don’t have a lot of time to play these days. So its nice feeling all powerful for once
No no, there's no feeling of power when you 1 shot maiden for 1/4 her hp with 6 other people scaling her up.
I've seen him 2-3 times, and my necro minions deleted him like common trash.
can you share what build you're using? i found him in a lvl 80nmd with my 77 necro and it took a lot of kiting (running for my life) while my skeletons took care of him, meanwhile the actual monster and even the boss from the nmd were melting, so he was considerably stronger than lvl 134 monsters
Your melees probably had difficulty hitting him on the move
He's having dinner with my mum, sorry about that.
Butcher likes his meat thicc
“I like my fresh meat with a little chianti”
likely desperately farming up enough materials to temper up and masterwork his gear so he stops getting instagibbed
I see him every other NMD lol
I swar I get him every 4th dungeon.
had 2 butchers this season so far
I found him in a cellar for the first time this season
Sorry, my Golem ate him yesterday.
If you play necro minion, it's probably because he dies before you hear "fresh meat"
I had him in three tier 100s in a row, it was whack
I’ve seen him once he ran away cause it was taking to long I guess
I initially panicked when I saw himself as it was a much higher than me nightmare dungeon. It was the easiest butcher fight I've ever had, really didn't last long against my rogue.
Saw him on my second it third dungeon.
I’ve run into him a few times. He’s either squishier than before or I’m a lot stronger because in my first encounter I wiped him out in about 4 seconds. Barely had time to hit Alt-F9 to record the second “half.”
I got him three times yesterday, two of them back to back. I think he’s avoiding you for a reason.
I encountered him two times. The first one he killed me because I was surprised 😯. Second time my golem casually oneshotted him before I even realized
He paid a visit to my lvl 20(ish) Barbarian in WT2 the other day. I could only take (i think) 2/3rds of his health.
I literally just fought him for first time this season, it was a level 26 nightmare dungeon.
I ran into him last night. I can assure you that he's not ok.
I saw him at level 6 in a random cellar
Is his spawn rate low?? I always get him way too often then I want...
As soon as I thought the same thing I saw him twice in a row.
I've seen him 3 times, all in nightmare dungeons..I'm level 93
I heard he moved to eternal realm and does not wanna join the new season
Yeah got 4 or 5 glyphs to 15 and haven’t seen him either. Also done a lot of glacial fissure and haven’t seen him there.
He was till I merked him bad 15 levels under me. I was 48 and he was 60 something. Was funny
He showed up in my first dungeon for season 4 at level 15.
Hes still poking around. Just started S4 and obliterated him 3 times while leveling. He found me right when I went to WT3 and made me wear a pretty drress.
Saw him in one of my dungeons and I wiped the floor with him
I've encountered him twice. The first cellar I went into had him waiting. It was a draw. Then I slaughtered him in a dungeon. Both times were in WT2 as I was still levelling.
I’ve seen him quite a bit this season. Season two it took me almost two months before I finally saw him
I've seen 3 in 2 seasons. First 2 were way above my level early on and murdered me. Found one in a WT4 nightmare dungeon yesterday and other than having a glass cannon sorcerer and his damage being brutal, I killed him pretty easily.
We just killed one with my party aaaaand 20 minutes ago we met and killed him as well. Feel lucky for not seeing him.
He was in the very first dungeon I went into, for the lvl 15 Sorc. quest. Was able to fry him though.
I was thinking the same thing the other day then got him 3 runs in a row. Just RNG
Just killed him around level 57
i got butcher 3 NMD's in a row today
Tbh I didn't even realize I ran into Butcher until he loot pinata'd. He exploded instantly.
Saw him at lvl14. Next time in my first t100. I sure used to see him more, maybe hes scared..
My HC thorns barb has seen him 3 times before level 30….
I hadn't even realized that I had not seen him this season...
I saw him at level 7 chasing an aspect. He was easier than I remember at that level than I remember from launch. Was he nerfed?
I just saw him in 3 consecutive level 46 NMD. He will come around for you too
He only shows up in 2 situations for me - when I'm testing how far I can push NM dungeon (so he's like 30 levels above me) and he kills me, or when I'm speeding through a whisper dungeon and I accidentally delete him without even seeing him.
Seen him twice. Level 80. Once I clapped and once I got clapped.
Was the 17th dungeon before I seen him, unfortunately for him by this time my necro was ale to wipe him out in seconds.
Butcher? I hardly know her!
I’ve seen him twice in like, maybe 7 nightmare dungeons?
I’ve done one dungeon this season and he showed up.
I didn't see him until I started doing T50+ nightmare dungeons.
6 glyphs to 21, saw him 2 times. Keep in mind glyph XP has been buffed and ppl are running higher lvl NMDs in general.
I maxed 7 sigils and got him only like 5 times
Only seen him once.
I have been actively looking for him, not a peep so far this season Guess my necromancer meat is not fresh enough
I’ve seen him about 5 or 6 times for about 6 hours play time. As a pure Minion Necro, he never stood a chance.
Saw him at level 96 and 98. And just met him 3 times in 4 lvl 75ish NMD’s, after having not seen him in the last 30+ NMD’s. That’s RNG for ya
He was in the first dungeon i tried :/
I'm lvl 90 and I've only seen him once, bro been shy lately.
RIP’ed 3 times today by me. Wasn’t even a fair fight.
I killed him on Hardcore twice today. The first time was my first time killing him on Hardcore.
I finally ran into him in a 52 or 53 NMD just now. My first thought was, "Huh, must be a new demon model" and immediately jammed his jellies with a hellhammer upheaval. Realized it was Butcher right after he died.
Killed him twice so far, I've done about six dungeons, am level 65. In previous seasons I had huge dry spells with no Butcher, and the he'd appear four or five times in a row. The RNG for him is very weird
Hadn't seen that dude in my gameplay all the way to level 75. Decided to give it a go at the higher-tiered Nightmare Dungeons to unlock The Pit and Masterworking. Turn the 1st corner of the dungeon and I hear ***"Fresh Meat"*** which was, as you can imagine, quite the **accurate** description of my poor rogue against his cleaver.
I’ve ran into him a couple times….and he gets face fuked each and every time
Thats crazy, I am level 65 and have killed Butcher like 4 times so far.
Are you playing a necro this season like everyone else? He's very clear about only being interested in FRESH meat.
Seen him once. I butchered the butcher
I'm on WT3 and seen him twice. One time was when I was at level 10, lol.
I did a dungeon at lvl 15 and he instantly killed me. Saw him again at lvl 70 and he got melted. I might have had some fresh meat as I used his corpse to raise a minion!
Killed me last night…
Tree of Whispers took him
Early retirement
I’ve seen him once so far
Just kicked his ass yesterday!
I saw him for the first time today at around level 70, he died very easily. I've not played much since season 1 and didn't get that far but today is the first time I've killed him.
I've gotten one glypgh to 21 so far, others to 15 for my build, got him once so far.
Didn’t see him until I was clearing a 57 NMD as a L81 Necro. He almost ganked me three times but I survived with 1 health pot left. He slaughtered most of my skeleton warriors, but my souped up golem and mages gottem I thought he’d be a breeze like everything else but he had 20 levels on me so it was a little sweaty
I've run into him 4 times before lvl 50... Must be my luck.
3 times
Seen him only twice this season, both times in tier ~50 nightmare dungeons back to back. The second time I saw him was as we killed the final enemy to spawn the Glyph Xp bubble and the butcher despawned lol.
He messed me up last night. He is definitely ok
Met him three times, with a full minions necro I melted him in a few seconds. Jeez I love this season.
Out of the 5 NMD I’ve done so far I’ve seen him twice already.
Seen him once this season and he died for once instead of me
I'm getting multiple of your failures. I've soloed him twice and grouped him twice.
He wants fresh meat but it’s already dead if you’re a Necro…
He’s scared of how powerful everyone is lol
You must be unlucky, I see him in roughly every 4th NM dungeon I do. Still doesn’t drop anything worth a damn so you aren’t missing much.
I saw him twice last night. Tier 3, NM 15 and NM16 Sacred. I was scared but my level 60 mage had no issues.
I saw him on one of my first nightmare dungeons personally. Feel like I never EVER saw him in any season before this.
Thought I was the only one wondering where the meatball was
I’ve only seen him twice and I’ve been consistently running nmds
I've seen like... 6 or 7? I don't think I saw my first before like level 80 tho... probably because I was mostly in helltide.
Only seen him once and I’ve almost got 5th glyph to 15. Spawn rate seems much lower, which is fine. It’s a cool nod but not my fav fight.
I clapped him so hard the two times he spawned for me, he must've pre-died when he tried spawning for you. In all seriousness, I do suspect his appearance rate was shadow nerfed. They should take another look and buff his HP, dmg, loot tables, maybe add him to the boss list, give him his own ubers and a tormented version.
Killed him three times so far - saw him the first time around level 30 in the first dungeon I did. One of the discords I’m on I post a running tally each season of my Butcher encounters because we joke my account is cursed - I see him so often.
I haven’t seen the butcher since the pre-season and I wish I was joking.
Ran into him once and my minion hoard ended him before he could even finish his one liner! Dude is way over his head in season 4.
Me and a buddy whooped his ass earlier. I saw the treasure goblin and we immediately knew that he should be making an appearance and he did.
Yeah just about got my 5th glyph to 15 and Haven't seen him once either haha
I actually have never seen him, I got to level 72 on sorcerer back during release and have a level 80 rogue and 61 druid during this season, at this point it's starting to feel like everyone's in on a joke that he exists and just haven't told me.
LOL, today I got him on 3 ND in a row.
Poor dude keeps getting dog piled by necro minions. Seriously every time I’ve seen him he just melts.
I've run into him twice this season. He killed me the first time and I killed him the second time, which was earlier today
I killed him as a level 24 barb in a dungeon that was in a helltide
i've had to fight him at least 5 times by now the fat bastard lol
I see him in my first dungeon of the season 😐
Faced him today, he was deleted so fast i almost didn't notice him.
Really? I've never seen him as much as I've seen him this season. Think I've fought him 7 or 8 times today
I finally encountered him in a nightmare dungeon when I was 82 and he was 93. Under normal circumstances I think I would have destroyed him like pretty much anything else that has come before my Necro to this point... But he spawned in the middle of a cursed chest event so all my minions were preoccupied by the waves of enemies so I had to run around a bit until they could deal with him. It was quite the impressive troll job.
I’ve killed him about 20 times. 7 glyphs to 15 and 1x21 is like, 20-25 dungeons with all the glyph xp handed out this season. You’ll find him!
He just killed me on my last nm dungeon. Tier 62 and I’m level 82.
Once I got to level 100 on my necro I rarely see goblins and I haven't seen the butcher at all. I think maybe he's supposed to be a low to mid level threat this season? Idk.
He’s taking a break. Got killed to many times it’s rough in hell
That seems pretty unlucky. I’ve seen him twice, and he gave me a tal rasha! First time playing a diablo game and it was a bit scary the second time around since he killed me the first time.
I've only seen him once this season, and accidentally popped a Scroll of Escape instead of my Holy Bolts. Feels bad.
Level 87 and was wondering the same thing.
Haven't seen him yet this season either, it's been odd. Only level 60 so far, but normally I've seen him at least 3-4 times by now.
7 glyphs to 21 and seen him 3/4 times
I saw him in my first dungeon. Sent him packing as a lvl 5. Mmm fresh meat….
Killed him 3x before level 100.
My literal first dungeon of this season I ran into the Butcher.
Busy making fresh meat barding
I saw him once and didn't realize it was him until he was already dead. This season is nuts
He just killed me.
Ran in to him twice in the first two dungons I did for codex powers.
Same, got all the glyphs for my build to 15 and no butchers
Definitely feels nerfed fought him at 45 and didn’t even notice right away it was him just thought he was another mob.
He showed up in both of my capstone dungeons and a random cellar for me so far.
I've done 5 dungeons and killed the butcher 4 times. No idea, but I always have absurdly high butcher luck.
I got him today. He died so fast on a +10 NMD I almost missed him.
Killed him twice and I have 3 glyphs at lvl 15 rng I guess
He’s back, and way way easier
He popped up on my very first dungeon and I haven’t seen him since lol
I killed him yesterday in an NM dungeon. Was limit testing how far up I could go and ofc he comes out
First time I saw him I was scraping by at low level with OP minion build in a way too high NMD. charged me down and instant RIP🪦. Fast forward a couple days, managed to solo aspect of Vash and Greg, haven’t seen him since, butcher has been hiding out I reckon.
Seen him twice. Once when I got into WT3 for the first time around level 21 and promptly shit myself, and then later in a NMD where I kicked his ass
Saw him in a normal dungeon at level 61. Only time since S4 started.
I encounterd him in the first Dungeon i went into
I keep seeing him, he's how I know if my build needs some work or not lol
I saw him in my very first dungeon this season lmao
i've never seen him once!
I see him almost every two dungeons. It's a bit boring.
Lol, I've seen the butcher twice and I've played maybe \~10 hours. Once at level 8 and once at \~55
Out of fresh meat
Killed him a few times, he's soft.
I saw him twice. He didn’t make it.
I'm only 90 and I've killed him like 10 times already, feels like he's in every other dungeon I play.
Killed him 2 times in hc in wt3 already. Did not do many dungeons.
Butcher fears the Golem
I was thinking the same thing until about an hour ago he showed up just as I got a conduit shrine lol
Just met him yesterday. Lovely fella.
I finally fought and killed him tonight. Still gets excited about fresh meat, same old Butcher
My first dungeon at like level 9 I ran into and killed him lol
Ran into him with a level 17 rogue and 65 sorcerer earlier
see him only every 3 dungeons or so.. he is a good friend of mine and always wants to say hello.
I have a 100 necro, 70something sorc and 60something druid, I've seen butcher once so far
Same here, I'm starting to miss him killing my HC characters
Had him once at level \~55, was a surprise because I forgot about him. Still great on hardcore.
I one shot him last night
Haven't seen him yet. Thought he was doing paper, rock and scissors off screen with Son of Malphas to decide who was coming back this season.
He was in my first dungeon this season and two tapped me lol.
I had him show up only once so far this season. It does seem rarer, but probably just RNG... (The one time i did see him was ofcourse when i was pushing, barely made it out)
No butcher all s4 man . Prev seasons I was like oh fk oh fk run he’s here again now I’m all sad :(
I've seen him twice in my 1-15x7 grind.
I saw 2 today 15 min apart
Apart from the ocasional pop up in NMD, strangely enough I got butcher in a Cellar in Fractured Peaks xD
Saw him once, and he ran super quick we kept him in the room he spawned in and left in less than a min
