I give up

[Raziel]

Call me a noob, idc, I give up. Bosses have way too much health and one shot you if you don't build complete tank. I don't want to sacrifice my damage for more tankyness cause bosses ALREADY take so long with the damage I have. I don't feel like spending hours to kill one stupid boss. I'd rather just spend my time somewhere else.

Sadly it's a gear problem. Either you get lucky and have a smooth experience or it became a tedious slog with HP sponge mobs. Surely it'll be balanced at some point but now is not the time.

Its sad because when I fight normal enemies, elites and uniques, I don't struggle at all. but once I meet a boss, I just get stomped on, constantly one shot no matter what I do, and their healthbar just doesn't go down... I didn't go full squishy either, I felt somewhat tanky, but mostly focusing on damage, and it just doesn't matter. I don't want to sacrifice all my damage for a little bit of survivalbility when bosses already take so damn long.

Whats your class, whats the boss and whats your build? Maybe we can help

A lot of boss attacks one shot or two shot you because they are designed to do that. you cant build your stats around it. You need to dodge those attacks. Also, do you use WASD movement? Because playing this game with just mouse is pure torture. WASD or controller is the only way to play

It's almost as if you have to...grind higher levels and better gear. I know this is a crazy thought process....

Bloodmage, Blackjaw and I honestly don't know how to tell what kind of build I have. I specced into Energy, Physical and cast speed.

I keep dying to his three hit combo attack because I dodge both hits, but then the third one kills me cause I cannot dodge it fast enough cause I'm already mid roll.

That or learn the mechanics of the game, you cant expect to know how to play a game like this with 6 hours of game time.

that's complete garbage... i'm 4k hours die hard arpg fan and i faceroll through the game.
if someone starts this game, he can't understand you cannot play every single skill, that doesn't even work in poe 1. if you pick a bad skill in poe 1, your leveling takes ages and bosses become a nightmare. in poe 2 there are less choices for building up your skill, you even more forced into the current meta skills.

some people said they need 1.5 hours for an act boss, i never needed more than 1.5 minutes. i feel very sorry for people who actually even have to try it that long. the game is not very hard, you just have to build right. but people who never played the game, how should they even know it?
