Act one boss too much HP

Can we please lower the act 1 bosses health, my build really isn't online yet. Kinda a bummer to have to respec to only damage to kill the boss. It kinda kills the rogue-like feel, getting survive-ability passive points feels really punishing.

It's also extremely obvious when playing with friend. It's just too much HP.

I hope for your sake and for my mental health that you are talking about PoE 2 now but you mistakenly chose the wrong subreddit?

I have never seen anyone mention that A1 boss in PoE 1 has too much health.
Hillock is just fine.

How about we not call a subforum a 'subreddit' here

Good god
In Harvest league they posted most dangerous areas. Looks like Merveil is #3, and the most dangerous thing until you fought Sirus or went delving (too deep, too greedily).

Top 10 most dangerous areas.

Azurite Mine
Eye of the Storm
The Cavern of Anger
The Harvest
The Rotting Core
The Chamber of Innocence
The Feeding Trough
The Belly of the Beast Level 2
The Upper Sceptre of God
The Karui Fortress

To the original poster, sometimes it helps to use leveling skills instead of limping along with a bad version of your future build. Like any random 2hander and slam +bleed +maim support is gonna take out merveil pretty easy and you dont have to stand there still to do damage.

Merveil is the Act 1 boss, not Hillock. He is a boss in Act 1, but Merveil's arena transitions you into Act 2.

What game are you playing? You invest in something else then damage in act 1?
