Cant get past first tutorial boss!!!

[WolfOne]

I started a monk and I cant take down the first boss, I am rolling around like crazy and getting hits in and I run out of flask charges before I can take him down. I have been farming random beginner guys trying to get some gear and its no use! I cant believe I paid money for this frustration!

Don't use falling thunder on him, just use the Quarterstaff Strike. It's free and more single target DPS at the start.

Rolling is good for moving a short distance fast but getting up after it is slow. You cover longer distances faster by just running.. so for aoes try to run as much as you can before rolling at the last second. Trying to roll twice out of aoe is slower than just running out of it. Don't roll early for direct hits either, many enemies will just change the direction of their attack. Learn to do it at the last second.

The Miller? Maybe less rolling? You just need to roll out of the big slam he does, everything else just tickles you. Should have plenty of charges on flask for it.

I finally just got through it by leveling up to Level 3 after dying 20 or so times and farming the various low-level mobs before him. I hated it so much!

Somebody is inevitably gonna say "skill issue" or "git gud," or something mean, that is the nature of the forums, so instead I'll say grats for clearing the boss.

Maybe controller or wasd style controls will be better?

first - you do NOT need to roll for everything, just his charge. Second, use basic attack, it does more damage. Kill his adds to recharge your flasks. Bait his charge out, he has a brief window to punish him after he stops.

Only roll when you have to, use normal strike, when the adds spawn use falling thunder on them when they bunch up.

Its a super easy fight. Just need to be methodical about it. Spamming flask is no good, only use it when you REALLY need it. There are clear audio cues when he slams hard, roll sideways to avoid the hits, or roll behind him.

Don't roll around like crazy. Moving is faster. You roll to dodge an attack. But spamming rolling eventually puts you into attacks.
