Early Access Feedback - I'll come back when Jamanra is nerfed. - Forum

" DalekDelights#5651 wrote: For all the "helpful" suggestions, yes, why would I want to leave FEEDBACK in the FEEDBACK forum? Silly of me to have an opinion. Yes. So helpful. And I love all the assumptions about when I started playing, what I expect, etc. I guess no one should leave any feedback and GGG will just inherently...know what they might need to change in early access. Yes. So wise. In POE1 you could have a shit build that was fun and get to endgame. In POE2 you have a lot less options. I don't find that as much fun. See, that's feedback. But bro your feedback would be valid if it was an actual problem to people and not just a YOU problem, the boss has probably been killed several million times but you cant kill him once as a minion build, the easiest of them to play... Then its a one man SKILL problem and not a game problem. Last edited by Klenis#2408 on Jan 22, 2025, 11:57:06 AM	Posted by Klenis#2408 on Jan 22, 2025, 11:56:11 AM Quote this Post
Except that if you look in the forums, I'm not the only person with this issue. Same with the Steam Forums. So it IS valid feedback. It's the first thing I looked up when I was struggling. Sorry you don't like my feedback, but it's still feedback, and adding to the many others with this issue.	Posted by DalekDelights#5651 on Jan 22, 2025, 5:26:22 PM Quote this Post
A whole generation of gamers have been corrupted by the hand holding of modern triple a games. Back in my day bosses were hard and we loved it and adapted to it. Holy smokes	Posted by hboi#6131 on Jan 22, 2025, 5:47:06 PM Quote this Post
Wait, are you serious? Campaign Jamanra? I was about to reply that you only need to not stand close to him when you kill to avoid explosion (which is supposedly fixed now), but you're having trouble with campaign Jamanra? Sure he's hardest boss in campaign currently but he's barely a hard boss unless you have a really shit gear.	Posted by DemonikPath#1311 on Jan 22, 2025, 6:25:32 PM Quote this Post
Get lightning resistance. It's worth noting that +2 maps are a dangerous thing. They can cause players to get out of their depth - playing maps that are too hard for the items they currently have. Herp Derp.	Posted by RickyDMMontoya#7961 on Jan 22, 2025, 6:29:21 PM Quote this Post
" Just don't nerf anything in a campaign please. Act bosses in PoE always served as build check. If you can't kill them your build is weak. great logic buff all the shit builds then... oh wait you would complain about that to over half of the skill gems are not even being used not to mention.. pre "end game" loot absolutely blows and its much MUCH harder to "fix" a build when u barely get materials and the rares/magics that do drop are total ass Last edited by BrainVs#6980 on Jan 22, 2025, 6:34:26 PM	Posted by BrainVs#6980 on Jan 22, 2025, 6:32:33 PM Quote this Post
I never played this genre before POE2 and that bozo hasn't dropped me below like 60% HP the 3 times I've killed him	Posted by Altimor#5749 on Jan 22, 2025, 8:54:24 PM Quote this Post

Love the supportive community here, lol. I'm sure I'll find you all making the same comments to the other people who had the same issue, no? "We don't need a feedback forum, because I didn't have any issues." Brilliant! See you all lovely people after the nerf.	Posted by DalekDelights#5651 on Jan 23, 2025, 12:01:37 AM Quote this Post
" DalekDelights#5651 wrote: I loved POE. Wasn't the greatest but I was decent. Played through a bunch of builds, knew I'd hit a wall at endgame, sucked at clearing higher level maps but knew what I was getting into. One really fun aspect of POE was that you could basically create any build and get through the opening acts, but you had to plan carefully for endgame. But that's not the case with POE2. POE2 took some getting used to, still getting to grips with it all, some tough but fun bosses, and then BAM. Jamanra. It's not a bad boss, it's just a HUGE difficulty spike that all of a sudden has me searching forums on how to kill it, Spoiler running around grinding looking for Lightning Resistance gear , wondering how the hell I'm going to kill it as a Witch focused on Minions, and after the 40th time through, I think I'm done. Spoiler I've only made it to the 2nd stage of the 2nd stage, and there's so much crap to deal with, minions barely last, and whoops I missed a roll, I'm dead again. That's if I survive the stupid minions during the sandstorm, which is hit-or-miss. Yes, I know, git gud. Yes I know, I should respec and use totally different equipment (that I still can't find by grinding) and change my build completely, and learn his patterns and he's not really hard and yeah I've seen the comments. The boss isn't poorly designed, but the placement for this level of difficulty SUCKS. So I'm going to go play something else until GGG nerfs/fixes it. I'm really bummed; I was looking forward to playing Early Access for a while! But if a basic build isn't viable through the early acts (like it was in POE), it makes me wonder what other basic builds I have to avoid. FWIW. I also struggled mightily with the Jamanra fight at the end of the Dreadnaught. (Which I assume is the one you're referring to) What worked for me was: Running the Dreadnaught and Vanguard over and over for more XP and gear. This eventually dropped a Jewellers Orb I could use to upgrade my main attack skill and I added COLD BITE. Jamanra is weak against cold damage and if you can get enough cold, you can Freeze him and THAT makes a big difference. I'd say more difference than getting lightning resist	Posted by EffKayZA#1861 on Jan 23, 2025, 12:16:19 AM Quote this Post
