Make a proper build with defense

I don’t get one shot by boss slams because I know how to build defense


Life armour or ES

You probably couldn't do any better without following someone else build you find online.

No I actually can.


And currently am.


Thank you though for the weird comment


Maybe you have to follow guides I guess.

Let me know what kind of guides you can find! Maybe you know a bit more on how to find them then me with your expertise on them.

and +4 bosses have a good amount of hp but just 1 shot me back

FWIW OP, I consider this a positive, not a negative. I don't want to be the Godslayer. I want to be a scrappy outsider who backed into saving the world even though I didn't particularly want to. Think Morrowind, not Skyrim.

I think it's a good thing if there are map nodes that you have to avoid because they are too difficult, if there are bosses you never fight unless you're completely focused as a player. This is the #1 reason I prefer PoE2 over PoE. It's harder to build your way out of problems, and the ability to dodge roll matters as much as what gear you are wearing.

ok first off. the problem i have is because outgoing damage is just as stupidly high as incoming.

and like ive already said..
+4 bosses have decent hp but have the stupid 1 shots

+3 bosses melt too fast because outgoing damage is too high.

i cant have fun boss fight in EITHER situation.

they aren't "too difficult"

they aren't "fun"

getting 1 shot randomly is not "fun"
and im not fucking talking about the "telegraphed monkey slams u have an entire second to dodge" anyone can fucking dodge those.

im taking about stuff like the feridun king who 1 shots you form offscreen
where u LITERALLY CANT DODGE IT, granted as my melee character he isnt offscreen.. but its the same issue.
some other bosses have 1 shots with very little animation time or with animation that looks extremely similar to non 1 shots.. or have aoe sizes of half the boss arena.. all those the boss is at 99% freeze for 5 whole freaking second and therefore my defensive option to buy more time doesnt work

the worst offenders imo are the bone tyrant (spires of delshar, and the beast you find in interlude 2 valley (galaini gates)

allthough those act bosses with phases are annoying too, they are generally decently telegraphed.. although i have to fucking admit that geonor ice falling from the sky.. ( while not a 1 shot) is stupidly hard to dodge allof them, and given thier damage at +4 is generally death by the 3rd hit

The boss tree is kinda lame to be honest all those nodes giving zero diffirence other than bosses getting a bit thicker. So if it bothers you just unspec it at all. You losing basically nothing (I got bored so I run +7 difficulty for no reason)

i don't agree with it being lame... the "guaranteed essence" on a boss fight is very nice when paired with overseer tablets

and because +4 gives all overseer tablets +1 to level you don't need to run precursor

so if +4 1 shots wasn't so stupid it would actually be enjoyable
