I am sorry GGG

[Meister]

But Count in Act 1 needs to either be gutted or you need to give us damn spells, its insane to do 5-15 minute fight with this idiot only for him to one shot you out of nowhere.
Also no more 2+ healthbars. 1 bar. make it big if you want them to last but no more of this bs with multiple healthbars, it sucks in souls games it sucks in this game. sure once or twice is fine, and cool but when every boss mechanic is "oh there is a second or even a third phase" i start to wonder why am i even playing? the phases just add more spammy attacks that are asinine to dodge with adds other attacks and a damn slow on the ground all the while he tanks like a souls boss... just no...

multiple phases are fine. Count is ez, if you are having 5-15 minute fights, your build/gear are hot garbage. Ive gone through him on 4 characters now, 3 of those on normal and cruel. Even on my first character he was dead in sub 3 mins when I was just winging it. You really need to look into a guide, re-vamp your build, or go get some better gear

skill issue

bro.. Try to enjoy and learn from the boss moviments, by a personal experience we can have a challenge in the beginning of the game, when we don't have the minimum to build an overpowered build yet and, for this short period of time, you'll have to count with your own skills (dodgning and moviment learning), after that you'll only be defeated by the tons of ground explosions and 1shot hits from nowhere

Actual case of skill issue.

And we are sorry for your skill issues...

I mean... if every boss has 2nd phase you just expect this.
Also, the only thing i would like changed with count are his attacks from the smoke. They are really hard to time your dodge, i would love if it was more in line with his poem.

1. He doesn't "one shot you out of nowhere" - all attacks are well telegraphed.
2. If he does one shot you, that is the game telling you that your defenses are not good enough.
3. If it is taking 5+ minutes, that is the game telling you your DPS is not good enough.

@Calculus - timing is easy for the attacks from the smoke. Just dodge roll a second after he finishes each line of his speech.

Almost 5s between each attack, but you don't need to stay centered on the map, the smoke actually don't hurts you and, if you go to any edge, gives you more time to dodge

I really hope GGG doesn't listen to people like the OP. A bit of challenge is what makes the game enjoyable.

Just learn to play the game.

5-15 minutes is 100% a skill issue.

All you need is a good DPS weapon and skill!

Huh, first time on launch took me like 5 minutes, my 2nd character I blinked and he was dead, didn't get to use his moves lol

The boss isn't even challenging, though. Sounds like the OP is wearing paper, or nothing at all, and wondering why they get oneshot.

Yeah, it is possible when you get this rhythm, but it would still be much cooler if he did it in matching to the poem

It does match the poem... he reads a line, then there's a short pause, and he leaps.
