Shavronne's boss fight

[Poo]

I have about 20 hours on this game and around level 50. I just killed Shavronne but I died at least 15 times. Is it normal for people to die on this boss their first time?

[Paroe]

20 hours?
I dont suppose you understand resistances and their importance then?
edit; or the value of a good HP pool?

[Libertea's nuts]

I'd say it's somewhat "normal" for someone with 20 hours under their belt yeah. You need to consider defense and resistances. Avoiding hits helps a lot too.

If you go full glass canon you will die, a lot.

If you press the letter c in game it will show your character stats , if you go to defense you will see 4 resistance to elements : fire , cold , lightning and chaos. You need to try to get 75% on fire , cold and lightning and the chaos resistance try to keep at close as 0. You can get the resistances from the gear and the skill tree, i usually like to have the resistances on the rings and boots or gloves. Hope that helps

All Written above is true. but farm or make a potion with imuun to lightnig aswell.

yeah pretty normal for a first playthrough dont worry about it you will get better

[Grumpy]

I wouldnt say you died 15 times because you are a beginner*, its more likely that you neglected your defenses.

*sure its possible somehow but the shavronne fights are one of the easiest bosses in the game.

There's no such thing. There are flasks for reducing lightning damage taken and icreased resistances and there are possible crafts to avoid the "shock" modifier.

I am also playing it for the first time and a guide is highly recommended. I followed my chosen guide and really only died a handful of times during my entire playthrough.

Here is the link to the guides : https://www.poebuilds.cc/

Your resistances are the most important thing in the game - all need to be above 75%.
