Arbiter of Ash NEEDS MASSIVE NERF
His moves are too fast to react to even with traversal skills. everything also 1 shots. Literally unplayable. Just a game of chance. Wow, this could've been done so much better lol. Guess it's still early access.

I think you should not have your hopes up this gets changed. The PoE1 boss also had these 1-shots that were hard to dodge.

I don't like all the complaining. But i too have not yet beaten arbiter. I don't know if its because my class is slow (titan), because i am slow, or maybe latency also matters. I would like it to be different. But i don't think it will be. Other people can do it. I cannot. I'll just accept that i am too old and slow for this.

You either need a lot of dps and CC or enough movement speed to interact effectively with the mechanics (min 35% mv on boots I believe). Otherwise, not easy for sure.

You need the DPS to bust his ass down in a matter of seconds, and/or temporalis, so good luck. Arbiter is merely there as a baseline for broken builds, he's not really designed to be beaten using just anything.

Even though i myself fail to beat him, imo, what you say is the cheap way out.
It is designed to be beaten by having skill, lightning reflexes and making no mistakes.
Of course the faster you beat him, the less time there is to make mistakes.
Beating him in seconds just means you don't need any skill at all.

Its one of the reasons i played a non-broken build. I wanted to practice the bosses during this EA instead of one-shot them. All the other pinacle bosses i spend 5 minutes dodging attacks before i beat them. They are easy now regardless of how little damage i do. Just need patience. Im sure the same is true for arbitter if you get enough practice. But 4 divs per try is a bit expensive to get practice.

idk why but bosses seem to spam skills faster than before. Does anyone has notice something similar? Died 2 times to the Breach boss couse of fast skill spamming non stop.

Nope,he is quite very fast,if you don't really know his pattern through the core it's not strange.

Even I had watched the video before,I am still unable to dodge his fire storm in time ,I play witch hunter btw,I may not fast as deadeye or pathfinder but I am pretty sure my character is not slow at all.

At best I can manage through 50% of his health by avoiding the fire storm phase.

For what? He already dies in seconds, he's already too easy and needs some serious buffs!

NO, arbiter had more tries months ago.
The other bosses had more tries added.

And yes, arbiter "mechanics" are cheap and boring. It's like a bad minigame.
Sure, you can make a build where you nuke him. But if the solution to the mechanics is to avoid the mechanics, then it's bad design.

He's an endgame boss. And this is not button mashing game. You need to learn to dodge his "ball drop" atk, I heard the damage is 10k. So if you want to mash button:
1. Get very high dps
2. Gear up to 10k hp/ES
