Combo Attacks and Boss Mechanics don't go well together

Cause they cant figure out how to kill you unless.
You cant move
You cant avoid the hit because you have no mobility.
Make the room tiny, and chain spam 80% coverage AOE.

It's one death over and over .

You are alive boom dead.
There is no strategy, they work against themselves.
Ohh look you cant move, The mobs are all faster than you .
They have teleport skills.
They insta appear behind you in a cloud of darkness mid attack.

There is only one solution to the game they keep producing.
MORE DPS.

Its all you need ....
MORE DPS ...
Then the bullshit boss attack doesn't matter.
Then the bullshit mob speed doesn't matter.
Then being bodied into corners by mobs doesn't happen .
The trials of ass don't matter.

All you need to do is stop listening to a single word they say.
It's a troll. Do you see any viable combo build's .... NO
Surprise !!!!! you are being Trolled.

One Button, One build blowing up the whole screen.
This is the way.

Every time i died was because instead of focusing on what the boss is doing i'm focusing to combo the boss to death before he is doing anything.

And every time i just wished i was "not attacking" to actually see what the boss was doing at that particular moment.

This is not "meaningful combat".


In Poe1 we had 1 button builds where all the rest of our buttons were just mobility skills and we could clearly see at all times what the boss was doing and we weren't stuck in deep combos to avoid one shots.

What happened to the combat they promised for Poe2? I clearly remember Jonnathan saying before Poe2 release how they want this game to be focused on player reaction and combat to not have cooldowns and stuff.

But the combat itself is nothing but a mix of combo skills that is always bottlenecked by cooldowns, detonation times, skills with +1-3 seconds added to their attack time, everything to make the combat as clunky as possible to not let you focus on the boss mechanics or anything else.

There are actually a lot of combos that people are using in this game.

If I am not wrong, I think Fubgun and all his followers deadeye build is using lightning arrow and lightning rod. I am not playing deadeye and I am not familiar with the build. But isn't using these two skills considered as doing combos?

Warrior skills also have a lot of combos, example is leap slam and bone shatter.

The most important thing is that your combo needs to kill the boss in one hit before the boss kills you. Even if you cannot kill in hit, you have to kill the boss within a few seconds.

Hence, I think the main issue that that your combo build just isn't good enough and not strong enough to kill the boss.
