I'm poe old player and even on poe i didn't see that kind of hard difficulty, also i'm playing on gamepad and looks like the aim lock is kinda stupid cuz don't lock correctly on enemy.. works well only with melee. Anyway i think devs inpired poe 2 in soulslike games and sponge bob.

Sounds like you are dodging too soon. Its abit like souls game, you have to know enemy attack, some attacks has long telegraph phase and will trace you after dodge if you dodge too early/before actual attack.

Yeah, i already notice that.. sometimes i really dodge early, but in this boss does not matter even if i dodge in time he can hit me cuz the aoe hit the ground and the dodge won't roll outside of his attack

good they should be stong

Bosses are fine, but the characters are weak. I've seen the same gameplay in the vanilla WH40k Inquisitor Martyr but the game hadn't a fanboi club echo chamber so it got 50% "mostly negative" reviews in the beginning.

Meanwhile on Reddit: +1000 upvotes post how the game is slow and isn't fun:

Apparently the devs done goofed bringing Souls-like gameplay into aRPG fight.

it means game is not ballanced if only one build works. 2 if im getting as sorc only corss bow drops its impossible to do any build. 3. if all of my spels deal close to none damage with diffrent setups of pasives it means game is not ballanced. 4. if with rtx 4080 and ryzen 7 7700X im getting slide show and cant even mvoe while boss is able to 1 shot me is devs issue, while my graphics are set to low and 60 fps target. 5. If you need to spam space bar and cant even cast spell its balancing issue.

I agree with you I mean bosses being too hard doesn't equal good gameplay for me. I want to relax and have fun, not sweat and stress. I don't know how your performance is so bad though. I have a 4090 and never go below 120fps at 4k

Hmm I on other hand stopped playing D4 fast becasue there was no challenge, it was to boring. I havent played poe2 yet (i bought it but no time), so maybe its to hard, i dont know, but i really hope they dont make it to easy , becasue the moment there is no challenge im out. I really hope if they want to change it they add difficulty levels, so everybody got a choice.

Poe 1 difficulty is better, i hope they tweak the difficulty in poe 2, cuz the game already start in hard difficulty and apparently you fight agains soulslike bosses here even on low level... for who are familiarized with souls game ok, but for who that won't play soulslike games like me the game will be 2x harder, you can get killed by a simple ranged enemy with 2 shots, the hag you encounter in the very start game she insta kill you.

Someone being one shot because they didnt watch the boss mechanics before the fight does not make them bad, and does not make the boss hard. It's stupid dark souls mechanics that are not fun or hard just cheesy. Everything is easy after you fight the boss and know everything it does. Until then you will die because the damage indication is nearly non existent, and the constant invul phase full health regen on boss is stupid. i wouldnt have wasted my pots and forced out that last combo if i knew the boss was just going to go invul and be full health with instant teleportation.

It is simply bad game design, just like the change to the skill system. Dumbing it down to make it more accessible and digestible for dark soul fans is not a good move.

if the mob level is 9 i expect to have a medium chance with lvl 10 against that bosses

I think it's a skill issue. But not with a persons skills, but with the characters skills.

For some reason none of my skills feel any better to use than my default attack as far as damage goes.
Sure, the animations are nice but by the time the animation has finished you are half dead.

Combine that with only 1 health flask instead of the typical 3, and you have an issue.

just get more xp first

I did, and it does help, but the issue stays the same: none of my skills do any more damage than my default attack skill.
It's a problem because it makes that whole bar of skills useless and the whole skill system weak and equally useless.

They need to tune the skills so it actually feels you are getting stronger from skills, not from XP.

Have you been leveling up your skills along the way? You can use skill gems to increase the level of your current skills.

Sorc feels unplayable, i´ve been bashing my head against King in the Mist for two hours now, even respecd full defense, there´s just no way. The spells i have access to are more or less useless, i have bad gear because the drop is abysmal, i have yet to see a yellow item.
I guess this is fun for some people, but i wanted to have ARPG fun, not play Dark Souls.
