Bosses have way to much health

There is no fun in kiting 10 minutes around a boss and maybe do it again if you die.
You are just wasting time here for the player and do not respect their time.
Please adjust the bosses health down to around 2/3 of their health, this is insane...

The problem is 100% on "you"

You should work on your character and try to get stronger instead of just give up and asking for a nerf.

I dunno man, I think POE2 could move in a new direction, to make builds less about keeping up with the joneses with regards to dps. It's a little excessive at endgame.

All these "git gud" comments make a assumption that we cannot defeat a boss.
I can defeat the boss, I currently have so much ES and ES regen I can tank out most bosses till the end of time if I wanted to.

The problem is that ploughing your way through 50.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000 health for 30 minutes straight by holding a single button, is simply not fun. It's not difficult, it's not challenging. It's just not fun.

And if the only way how you can have fun is to grind for hours to follow a meta min/max build you find online, sorry to say this, but that's just horrible game design.

It's not the only way, but many players are unable to look outside meta bubble and that's their and only their problem.

I'm underleveled for the Tier maps I'm doing and I'm nuking bosses easily. Check your build.

Respect your own time and don't play games if it's such a "waste of time"...

This game is far too unbalanced yet. There are currently some not-that-expensive builds that can kill endgame bosses in a couple of seconds, so it is not an option to decrease bosses HP.

Hopefully they will improve balancing, the nerf hammer will fall and other builds will be buffed, so it might change. But for now it is impossible to say that they have too much life yet.

Had a level 85 merc and a level 96 monk.

No single boss ever took me more than 3 minutes tops.

And that was Geonor (sp?) on my very first play through.

Even pinnacle bosses died within 90 seconds tops.

That is the tweek they wanted, too many 1 shot boss killing builds, so they upped the boss health and wanted a 3 to 5 minute battle per boss. That was stated in the DEV stream.

Your at 10 minutes cause you dont have better gear which good luck in getting that to drop.

See my loot simulator post. LOL. Welcome to poe 1 i meant poe 2 where the traders R us folk are ready to take your hard earned currency for an upgrade you just need to go from 10 to 6 minutes lol

Boss is taking 10 minutes = your build is to blame.


Simple as that

That's the major problem here. If you can google a build that makes you do 1000x more damage, and the bosses are balanced to that, the design is horrible.

If there are just few outlier builds like that and everything else is totally worthless, there's no skill needed in game. And that's how the current game is, build + trade site gear and 0 skill.
