Act 2 difficulty

[Cerveyio]

Don't know but.. is anyone able to beat act 2???

Laser damage from normal enemies completely overpowered.
Boss in act 2 "The cursed": I am not able to beat him.

In my opinion the transition vom act 1 to act 2 doesn't work at all.

Ideas for improvements:
---------------------------------
Increase drop rates that we are able to get better items!
Lower act 2 dmg entirely.
Nerf the act 2 boss.
Last but not least: Make it easier to get skill points for the new talent trees!!!

Having an epic tier 2 weapon and a few rare or epic tier 2 equipment items makes all the difference.

The enemy which blink is to OP. I mean.. for melee characters deal with his omega burst shot spam which is not indicated is really hard ;; im dying more on him in a moment when 3 of them spawn more than on any bosses.
also the throwing bomb witches ARE INSANELY bad designed... player is not able to predict bombs and avoid them. it's more like defense fight to survive than avoiding ;; to many bombs, to many to see.

BUT I GUESS act 2 need good skill tree and we are going to it barely "naked"

I was able to beat it as Lorien, but it was not easy. I had an amazing build full of master skills, without any talents tho. I assume it's probably easier to do with a ranged character.

Beat it with summoner sorceress but I lucked in to vampirism which was a huge deal

[PeamBrainRotting]

I'm able to beat it with almost no skill tree unlock (4) on Skadi, Kront & Lorien. Right now I'm consistent. Stuff is important but not so much, what matter the most really is god's skill rarity and HP pool. Don't fear lowering your %dmg boost on your stuff to get some sweet +70hp or xp per second. If you have epic/master % chance as well, go for it.

Area of attack and move speed is often nice for close combat (I like going earth/war with both skadi and kronk, or at least one of both). For Lorien I go thunder or fire to get a lot of strike and attack speed

Blinking withes need a massive nerf to their damage output and/or added cast time and visual effect to their attacks (like cats have). It is just not fun to be hit from off-screen for 1/4 of your HP. Also, bombing dudes need a slight nerf to their moving and attack speed, as fighting them as a melee character is not fun.

I think, act 2 is fine, a bit unfair towards melee, but overall is fine. I managed to beat it on Skadi once I rearranged her equipment to maximum hp regen and got a bit of talents.

Also, it would've been nice if their added some sort of additional visual indicator for bosses models, 'cause at a time it was very hard to see where the 1st boss was.

To me this path is perfect! I also tried (just one time) act II, died on first boss, not far from killing it but I saw next mobs was really really tough.
I thought "Okay, this is todly another level!!", and I instantly choose to go grind act I for skill points, which feel really really enjoyable since yesterday :p like 6h in a row xD
Take a look at it and you will see how powerfull some skill points are!

(I also loot one epic tier 2 piece while doing act II, and she is already really more powerfull than my legendary t1. So there is a lot of grind here too!)

BIG thanks and congrats to the devs, so far I LOVE this update! (Mobs from act II are so cool and fun xD <3)

i think its perfect as is.. remember you are starting with lvl 0 constelarium... as with any of those game you will need to grind a bit to get strong enough to beat it

Should we even state the obvious... game is in a worse place now imo. (in terms of balance)
- A lot of things got nerfed down
- Campfire paths removed
- Act 2 imbalanced af

I should have a breeze in act 2 at least till 2-3 boss , this is a total joke - playing as Avaron with full mythic gear and 10+ alterations - picking only master blessing bonuses - i can't kill the second boss?? (the one with curses) - lazers that are way faster then we can evade (im talking about the blue ones).....

Summoner Sorceress worked fine. Had about 24 points in Constellations.

Time Warp is really handy against both the bomb throwing and laser guys since it does a lot of damage over time and slows them down so you can DPS them effectively.

Ran Time/Mort/Fire. Once you get the blessing that extends summons duration both the Fire Elementals and Skeletons get super powerful.

After some dumb luck in getting the buffed (but sadly legendary Gem high) I figured Avaron should aim for speed. So I usually aim for Lightning god to get a clear using his movement speed passive

After about 3-4 levels you can dash and circle around the lasers while wailing on them. Doesn't hurt that the lightning god also has a ton of random lightning everything to help hit any fast moving enemy.

I also use void dash (Time God) to catch those hovering Cloud djinns???. It also helps displacing the lasers away from you.

I am got rekt by blue laser multiple run

Hello !
In my opinion, the act 2 is to easy (i am not trying to show off).
I won 5/6 run, the last run was in difficulty 20 and it was WAY to easy with lorien (max talent and found a powerfull attack + strike combo). Every mob, including last boss dont last more than 2 second.
I think some skills need to be nerf, other need to be up, but i hope i will have the choice to increase the diffuculté past 30.
You should take some time to look at your stuff and choice the right piece of gear to be specialisted in one field (i tried only strike for now).
My bigest crit was 140 000.... the game is not to hard !

Again, it is my personal opinion and i really dont think that the difficulty is to hard..

I used smite + AOe insta kill to counter that - but still it's a total RNG - and not skill bound - it doesn't matter how good you are - you will not kill them unless you get the right blessing.

Also the Djin boss is op af - leaving no room to move around to even fight him...

full red build both summoner and attack, but fricking 11 minutes enemies just have undodgeable waves of light and blasts that perfectly track my location. literally can't get past them if i don't get any legendaries, and even with my loot i got in only once to get through and die at the next laser boss
