The player must dash away or run away from the beam area to avoid taking damage
The beam can kill most builds in 1-2 seconds if they stand within the beam constantly
The beam lasts for 3 seconds

Without being affected by The Shaper's Beam

If players touch it, the beam does ALL of the following:

Deals 5384 Fire Damage per second
Deals 4405 Cold Damage per second
Deals 6057 Lightning Damage per second

Here's how to tackle The Shaper encounter in Path of Exile without getting hit by its devastating Shaper's Beam:

Understanding Shaper's Beam:

Cast Time: The Shaper's Beam has a noticeable windup animation where The Shaper raises its arm and charges energy.
Mechanics: After the windup, The Shaper fires a beam that deals heavy damage over time if the player is hit. The beam does not rotate to follow the player.
Indicators: Look for a red beam targeting indicator on the ground showing the beam's path.

Strategies to Avoid Shaper's Beam:

Movement Skills: Having a reliable movement skill like Flicker Strike, Leap Slam, or Shield Charge is crucial. The moment you see the windup animation, activate your movement skill to dodge out of the beam's path.
Positioning: While The Shaper teleports around the arena frequently, try to position yourself strategically to predict where the beam might fire based on its previous locations. Favor areas with obstacles or gaps that can potentially block the beam.
Phase Retreats: The Shaper occasionally retreats to the center of the arena and becomes temporarily invulnerable. Use this moment to reposition yourself for the next phase and anticipate the potential beam direction.

Additional Tips:

Damage Output: Focus on maximizing your damage output to defeat The Shaper quickly, reducing the number of times it casts the beam.
High DPS vs High Mobility: Consider your character build. If your build focuses on high damage output, prioritize quickly eliminating The Shaper before it casts the beam too often. If your build prioritizes mobility, focus on dodging effectively.
Pantheon Power: Use Pantheon powers that enhance survivability or dodging. "Soul of Arakaali" offers a chance to dodge spell attacks, while "Soul of Shakari" grants increased recovery rate for life and energy shield after being hit.

Challenge Considerations:

While The Shaper is a permanent endgame boss, some leagues might have special variations or mechanics related to The Shaper's Beam. Be aware of any such modifiers in the current league you're playing.

Community Resources:

Consult Path of Exile forums or online resources for the current league to see if there are any special mechanics related to The Shaper's Beam.

By using a combination of these strategies, adapting your approach based on your character build, and considering the current league mechanics, you can overcome The Shaper encounter without getting hit by the Shaper's Beam. Remember, staying mobile, reacting quickly to The Shaper's tells, and having proper defenses are key to success. Good luck!
