The Boss Fights in PoE2 Feel Exhausting

Every boss fight is easily destroyed with basic attack on a melee character with a bad build. They are too easy across the board during the campaign, but I think it's okay that the campaign is available for the average gamer too.

it's deffinitely not game for you and they will bost maping bosses for sure. Game loses identity at end-game and people loving those "souls like" bosses and it's "Theme" - design/idea of the game which will stay and be different than poe 1. So better for you to move on than hoping to casualization

Hi,

I like the game to be hard. It's actually what I enjoy. It will sound weird, but I both like and hate the game at this time. At the moment, I'll complain about what I don't like. Or simply HATE.

HATE

I see GGG continue to HATE MELEE builds. They just don't want them in the game. It's impossible to kill about 50% of the rare monsters, not to mention bosses, because every single one of them has ice explosions, chaos explosions, lightning explosions, chaos spores, chaos bubbles following you, bleed explosions, chaos pods, poison clouds, lightning remnants, magma barrier, slow bubble, burning ground, mana drain bubble, and the list can go on and on and on and on. Not to mention that the stupid Archnemessis tradition has been ported over from PoE1. Fighting rare monsters with 12 mods as MELEE (from which 8 are AOE effects around him) is just STUPID. I have a 60 div MELEE build, and every time I die to something as STUPID as mentioned above, I feel like deleting the game.

Oh, and I haven't even mentioned the trials. Brilliant move there! Round of applause for both Sanctum and Trialmaster, or whatever the heck his name is. I'm stuck on the 4th trial of ascendancy, and I don't think I'll complete it any time soon, unless I nolife a week of my life, fail 58 times and succeed on the 59th. Once again, I have to congratulate whoever had this wonderful idea for the Ascendancy trials. It's really skill based when you are getting RANDOM NEGATIVE EFFECTS thrown at you.

I actually took the time to come here on the forum and vent, because I just died ingame. Once again, I feel like deleting the game. If someone asks me to rate PoE2 from 1 to 10 right now, I'd give it a solid -1.

DEVS - read above. Fix this game please.

Regards, Dobi.

I understand the draw of Souls-type difficulty, but for me personally I bought early access without research. I loved POE1, it fit my playstyle nicely, and even though I was initially overwhelmed by the skill tree, levelled a couple of toons and enjoyed it. I am regretting my purchase of POE2 at this time.

I agree with the OP. The bosses are entirely too difficult. I am not a fan of instant death respawn repeat rinse. I have tried 5 different classes in POE2, both casters and melee. Melee I cannot get past the first boss worm. The only one I see success with are Sorc and Merc. Those two are still a respawn generator.

I'm sure it's a great game for some, but without some taming, I cannot see myself investing any time in this beyond the few hours I have invested already.

Boss fighting is a nightmare. If the game is only for experienced player, I am really regret to buy it. So many mechanism and you have to dodge the whole fighting, even can't stand for 1sec to cast your spells. The moving keys are so inconvenient and the character are so slow to avoid the one slot and most attacks. I tried mouse and keep moving and moving, still got one shot. So frustrated and I really couldn't get any enjoy. If not change, POE2 is my nightmare and I will quite.

No your not alone. This game is soooo slow and I would not play a souls game if you paid me to. All the people that love pain this is for you. Level 29 archer just rolls runs and repeat. No drops. I get a yellow I'm like finally. Yep for an Intel char. nothing to craft. Nothing to find. Nothing to make me want to keep playing. A year of this crap you all will go crazy. Wait till you wake up and go ya know what this sucks.

After having fought a boss for 10 minutes, multiple deaths, strategizing... I get an orange gear drop... for not my class.

Not a single item the boss dropped was usable by me. I mean, come on.

Just beat another boss. Another Orange item, once again for a different class. No boss yet has dropped loot for my sorc. Not a single one.

Weird cause all classes can use any type of gear, it isn't "class bound" there's hardly classes in this game. Just like PoE1. But you knew that right?

The success of the souls game has shifted the culture of gaming to an insufferable circlejerk about how cool you are for playing unnecessarily difficult games with unnecessarily difficult guidelines/restrictions. All of this is intended and exactly what the devs want. The vocal majority who just hates PoE1 and wants to be smarmy about it are going to tell you to shut up. Essentially you are screaming into the void.

+1, souls like games have their time and place but the shift and drive to make everything "souls like" is not innovative at all and just is turning out garbage copies of each other. Also not all genres benefit from becoming more "souls like".

I hate them boss fightings, one shots and frustrations,I dunno how many times I rage f.. quit this garbage, I understand campaign should be engaging but it's just a chore and no fun, while some challenge is ok they definitely overdid it with bosses!

+1

All the campaign bosses are too easy and should have about 50% more hp
