Water Hag is ANTI-FUN in hardcore. My only gameplay complaint after 500+ hours of PoE 2

Skill Issue. I think River Hag is good for the game and makes you think in otherwise mindless AoE farm.

It shouldn't be effected by haste would be my only adjustment - 3s to get out of a bubble is fine.

I'm waiting for the usual white knight posts here:

"Maybe don't play tired?"

"Skill issue. You can still see the River Hag, so if she's close, don't stop moving until she's dead"

"Skill issue. The screen gets liquified if you're too close. Just dodge away if it happens, 5head"

"The bubble is so slow, how bad are you?"

"We have a league for that, it's called softcore"

And lastly but not the least:

"Maybe graphics bugged out. It's EA and you know it. No complaining"



But yeah, your post only proves one thing: either this game has serious design flaws and it's just a matter of where you draw the line on which flaw is acceptable and which one is not, or your complaint is completely invalid.

Personally, I strongly believe the former.

P.S.: River Had is ABSOLUTELY NOT an issue barring the case of visual glitches that prevent you from seeing the bubble or the admittance that there are many more issues in this game besides that.

Just a honest question - why people play HC if a game is filled with "unfair oneshot mechanics" and while it's still unbalanced af?

Drowning orbs ....


Dont stand in them.


They are bright blue...

The mob that makes them has bright blue hands....

The mob that makes them often casts the maelstroms BEFORE the drowning orb.



Melee here, dont have an issue with them. Died to it in the campaign on my first playthrough, but thats it.

Yeah OK. But shoudn't be HC considered only after the player knows every mechanic of the game and all boss tactics? Because before that there is a huge risk of losing character to something unknown.

ur in standard league man. This is a hardcore issue, not a standard issue. And you clearly didnt read my points on this issue. In softcore its easy to just 1 shot everything so these orbs dont even exist. In hardcore it's a whole different world since you have to prioritize tank stats so your dps is cut and you can't just trade 1 div to fully gear you to kill t15s like u can in softcore. Why are you posting in feedback for a different game mode than you play. That's just weirrdd and wrong man.. it really is two different games not trying to be mean. Also, what is your post even??? You didnt address one key point I made, you just posted saying "dont stand in them they are bright blue" I'm a lv 90+ hardcore gamer, you think I dont know that??

in softcore you build different, it's a totally different experience.
