Stuns and One Shots are Stupid

[OmgItsPeaches]

I love this game -- believe me I've put like 60 or something hours into it already. But the one thing that I can't stop myself from griping about is the one shots and the stun locks. They are so unfathomably boring. I'm trying to get my third set of ascendancy points for my monk, and in the trial I am BLAZING through it because it's so easy. What kills me? The twin bosses that barely clip my left pinkie toe with an attack that instantly stuns me, which is immediately followed up with another instant attack that also stuns me, which itself unsurprisingly is followed up with one more instant attack that kills me. Dawg. I didn't even get skill issued bruh I got three tapped by an undodgable stun lock. Why is this a thing? I know they are looking into changing a lot about the enemy damage numbers, which is awesome because I'm tired of getting stun locked and cross map one shot by a spear flying at mach jesus to offscreen blow my head off in one go. Should've dodged I guess. Same thing with some of the bosses and mini bosses. Some of them do what I'd consider is fair damage. Some of them, like the stupid monkey with a concrete slab in act 3 that one shots you with quite literally every single attack--some with no warning. I just want my ascendancy points, man, but when I run through it and literally only lose any honor one time because of a random gib hitting me in the entire run, just to die to a stun lock that I can't avoid, it's just so stupid bruh

Don't get hit.. This is the reason why they added dodge roll into the game.

Expect people are not aware that its not a i-frame.

Agreed, and the same people defending it in POE2 would probably be the first ones to criticise it, were it another game. It's just that when you criticise something about POE, there is a rabid response from the boot lickers.

One shot mechanics overall are not good game design, and especially not when it's everywhere in a game and at times even random, some white mob hitting you 1-shot off screen. It takes away the skill from the game and makes it RNG.

don't play a glass canon, noone one shots you with high enough defence, besides the one or other boss mechanic which demands you to get out of the zone

There are many examples of mobs killing you in seconds with no time to react, even when having capped resistance and NOT being glass cannon.

Like I said, rabid boot lickers.

So, you took 3 hits back to back and you're dead?

Show me to the mob who kills my monk with 1.2klife all res / chaos at 90 and ~12k ES ? with ES regen every 1 sec?

I assume your solution to the problem is that everyone should run your build? Apply logic to your reasoning next time, because that one has none.

"If you can't do enough damage just go and abuse double herald monk bro" is the same kind of reasoning.

Come on, is this really going in circles here? Seriously, if I want to dmg I play my deadeye glass canon, not even able to survive one hit.

Just play with yourself, your kind of arguments are the reason why the world is black and white for some. Pure cancer

it happen when you play in SSF or hardcore. Less likely when you just buy your gear to win.
