16 hours in - utterly brickwalled

Currently down bad. I made the horrible mistake of going warrior. Bossing is absolutely awful. Slogged my way to the latter part of act 2 at the end of day 2.

Honest question:
Are we supposed to repeat act 1 three times to be 15 levels higher than what we are fighting?

I desperately hope they tune down the bosses a little. Fighting for 5+ minutes and running out of life flask charges and getting whittled away and dying....over and over....

Can't get the resistances I need
Can't get a decent life pool (one-shot regularly by an off-screen charge)
Can't get the currency to get affixes my gear ( RNG trash usually)
Can't respec because it is ungodly expensive

If people think spending 2 hours smashing their face against one boss and getting brickwalled out of playing the game is fun...I can say that this is definitely not for me.

You are right. The expectation is to min/max farm gear right off the bat. Almost seems like this is Act 11, extending over from POE1.

Same here. Stuck in bone double boss, can't beat it to continue and i can't do the ascendace also dying in last boss with 1 toucn (already 5 times there can't push more the same thing) I guess it's time for 40K again lol.
