WTF is with Utzaal (Mobs TO STRONG!)

These mobs are complete out of control.

As Monk im dying with 3-4 Hits all the time, but these mobs are nearly one shotting me.

To many Mobs, to fast, to high defenses.
What the fuck is wrong with this.. I had not many problems in the areas before this..

Well that is how POE is , i dont like it also , if you are not lucky to get your build going .
then you re-farm other zones get stronger go back in .
that how you gonna be playing the whole game , that is the poe cycle .

This are is near the end of act3.
So my build is going so far.
its fucked scaling..

That would make sense in PoE but not here atm. For this the drops are way to bad most of the times. And it is ridiculous we have to start farm in ACTS rather than in endgame.

Thank god you have player trading.

With these awesful drops (I guess the upgraded the loot drops)

Would you have to farm 200 years to get better loot by yourself.

End of Story.. I changed the weapon and other things to be able to clear this area (as I said the area before.. was no problem - diffcult but no problem)

the whole area is a pain depending of the build and class, it's have tons of ranged with a lot of different effect...
the situation with the drop rate don't help either, i did finish the act 3 and when i did arrive in act 4 it was like a big change, monster was tough but don't have this much number of different type of enemy with different effect like in Utzaal.

the scaling of utzaal is horrible and what it's scary it's to think that it's only act 3....

This seems to be consistent with GGG's design for "difficulty" for PoE 2.

- Massive HP sponges so that every white mob needs 3-4 hits from your most powerful attack.
- Fights with rares should take at least 5 minutes. Not that they are particularly difficult. Some I can just stand in place and hold the trigger on my controller until it dies.
- Fast mobs that can overwhelm you, without giving the player enough CC tools.
- Unfair movement rules - mobs can push you around and bodyblock all day but the player has no "oops button" to get out of a bad situation and dodge roll has zero pushing power.
- I hope you like backtracking and kiting way more than progressing forward.
- I hope you like breaking your flow often and portalling to town to refill flasks.

My problem with Utzaal so far:
I'm running a warrior titan, Act III hasn't been so hard for me this far.
I have 990HP with around 70% res, except (and that's the catch) chaos.

I'm on 0 chaos res. Why? Because there's no drop with chaos defense so far. I got 2 garbage rings with 13% and 8% chaos res, so removing my rare rings would cost me a lot of status just to get that chaos res. (Even if I did, there's also Ice mobs in the map!!! yay)

The problem with Warrior in general gets even more exacerbated here: The wind-up for any good AoE is so high that I got killed by infinite chaos projectiles during the animation for Sunder.

There's an argument to be made about skill issue. Ok, let's say it is.

I'm not running shield in my build, but the way I found to mitigate this was taking Stone Wall. That way I use it to protect me while my character "casts" sunder. Works sometimes, but a lot of times it doesn't. The enemies run around the wall either way, or their attacks straight up pass through it.

In short, I shouldn't have to change my build just to go through a campaign map because the game didn't start to drop items with the mods required to face these enemies. If I was struggling to face fire attacks for example, that would be fair: I had plenty of chances to build up that resistance until now. But not chaos.

PS: The npc is a complete joke. Sometimes she doesn't even agro the mobs, completely useless. She could use some buff on her skills.

I'm currently in the same boat, a level 46 Titan warrior with 1127 health and 73% armour. 60% in fire resist, 20% in all other resist except for chaos. Getting killed in Utzaal before I can even use any good abilities.

I have spent the last 4 hours today farming the next highest level zone looking for better gear and trying to level.

I have maybe gotten 7 bars of xp and not a single drop I can use, and yes I have tried crafting into whites to get what I can but have had no luck. I also currently have 56% increased to rarity on items found hoping I can get more blues and get lucky on chaos resist.

This is my first time experiencing any Path of Exile game and it is super rough. Melee does not feel like it is even supposed to be in the game. My brother is playing a mage type build and is BLASTING through zones with no trouble at all.

I wont stop playing because of this but jesus it feels bad. I have enjoyed all of the game up until this point.

you play a character (a monk, of all godly classes lol) and you're struggling?
newsflash: it's not the game...

- build issue
- skill issue
- farming issue
- your way to approach the game issue
- straight up you issue.

learn, think, adapt, overcome.
