Phrecia: Frustratingly Difficult and Extremely Annoying

I'm a regular POE player, not very talented, just average. Sometimes I get to Level 93 and most of the time I copy builds from others.

That said: I tried Phrecia, managed allright, died a few times until I reached The Eternal Nightmare in Act 4. Resistences were ok, F:75%, Co:57% L: 55% Ch:30%. I died at least 64 times and lost count. I died immediately when I entered the room. I fought 4 bosses at one time, it took me half an hour to kill them all. Was it fun: NOOOO! And this is only Act 4....

So I quit Phrecia, I mean, come on, I play for fun. Maybe Phrecia is not meant for me, the average player.

Sure, I keep on playing POE 1 and POE 2. But Phrecia is a bit too much for me.

The first Phrecia event was just the normal game with alternate ascendancies and idols replacing atlas tree. I had lots of fun in that one farming Harbinger up to lvl100 and even played 2 builds.

This one just had gauntlet stuff put into it randomly, when this event was just meant to be fun. I'm sorry that you had such a bad experience with it, hopefully if they host it again it will be normal and all the extra difficulty can just be optional for the people who want it.

Not really randomly as it was requested by the community.
But yea, many players had fun and are still having a blast, so the event is working out fine Toforto.

I'm currently playing through the Phrecia campaign on a build which uses Frost Wall as its primary damage skill.

I don't think there's really an argument to be made for "game too hard" anymore, guys...
