stuck with a warrior

[Ryker]

I'm having a terrible time. I'm stuck with a warrior at the wolf boss in Act 1.

Maybe the warrior isn't for me? I've read that it's very gear-dependent (but maybe that's the case for all the classes).

Are there any classes that are easier to play?

Melee is hard. Try any of the other classes with a ranged weapon/spells.

Or

Respec all your warrior skill points into totems, look for +3 to melee skills weapons. Get giants blood passive so you can dual wield them. And play a heavy armored earth shaman. Mine is level 41 and the totems hit for 2.1k

He's in A1 and won't have access to more than 1 totem yet not to mention +3 melee skills weapons lol.

OP - it's not hard, farm up a bit (maybe look for +rarity items at the vendors) and learn boss moves to not get hit.

2 h mace
roll ice witch and the witch in the hut in the first few opening areas, they drop yellows like cray cray. Scrap em for upgrades, grind etc later in act till get gear in a better place.

Playing split screen war with my friend, spent a lot of time just fing around shooting the ♥♥♥♥ and rerolling same first few areas till we got through rest of act 1. Like og diablo games, elden rang etc right man, if put some upfront investment in your char early on, pays dividends as move past first act(major boss in FROM game case, but get the point)

Like guess main point being here, and I dunno how playstyle is, but um...wouldnt be rushing campaign to get to maps right. Take your time, work each zone like thats all the game has before move on etc.

Oh, and focus on gear gets res's up. Again, like older arpgs, and why next diff always feels like a joke versus first run on normal: Have a build with resistances.

I've started all 6 classes available now, and warrior is by far the slowest and most tedious to start. monk was a bit rough, but really took off once I got frost strike and now is my favorite class I think

imo - any other class is easier to start than warrior

+3 melee skills 2 hander is like level 8 required u can get them super early. I had 2 of them before leaving act 1. You can also use support gem to get 2nd totem early on and replace it as soon as you unlock your first +1 totem node.

Find a good weapon, and do some craft on it.
Personaly with my monk I did couple of improvement from the craft and did some little leveling.
I was level 17 when i finished act 1 boss ( If we speak of the same one).
I was stuck like 4 or 5 time, and i improve my gems, use some craft to put a gems on my weapon and put a stone inside it; I upgrade the quality of couple of my armor and weapons, and use some craft material to upgrade my rings and belt into magic gear with two lines.
After that I learned the patern on the second phase of the boss and I beat him at the second try without to much of difficulty.
Hope it will help you.

I find the early game warrior to be very strong, unlike the monk. But yeah melee is harder then range...

You need to make sure you have as much flat damage on your weapon, and also on your rings or gloves - check the vendor in town for better gear.
Also some cold resistance is very welcome on this fight.

When I started on my Warrior I started to use 2handed maces right away and focused on damage nodes, dodge the bosses attacks and it went well, act1 boss only killed me 2 times

I'm in Act3 Cruel now and I'm having a blast as Warrior/Titan!

Follow the Build Guide for Warrior - Titan on Maxroll.com in the POE 2 section.

Once you get Perfect Strike you can do a lot more Damage to Bosses. I killed the Act 1 Boss on my 2nd try. Once you Stun him you can do the Strike and it drains his Health.

Always make sure you have Gear. Armour, Life. Resistances.

As an old gamer (in my 50's) i tried to get two classes past that wolf boss. I gave up after 100+ times. My reaction time is just not what it used to be, and to require me to avoid getting hit for as long as these boss battles last is just beyond my capabilities at my age. The fact that I can't grind my way to success means I have just given up on the game. I like a challenge, but this is just too hard and frustrating.

[Not Sure]

this boss is VERY hard with any build ive noticed so far. i accomplished it with 2 other friends. still a gnarly challenge lol

[GetUrAssToMars]

As mentioned... Perfect strike is... Perfect for those single targets.

At this stage of the game you gotta focus on either out-damaging the boss or lean on shield and defense to be able to tank those hits reasonably well.

And resistances are important no matter what.

[ILikeBirds]

Just use the default basic attack. People might look down on it, but it has no attack or animation speed penalties and thus has the highest DPS at your stage of the game.

I killed him first try after I bought a golden item from market with cold resistance.
Try to check vendors or market for this.

I have the same problem in act 2 with warriror, but only for fire now

That´s not true.
There is a skill which gives you two totems.
I unlocked it in act 1.
I gave them more damage but smaller range.
Spam this on bosses all the time.
