1 shotting endgame bosses does nothing for my want to play POE 2

I'm talking about one shotting the BOSSES* not getting 1 shot


I really wish the "git gud" and toxic positivity crowd would understand this about me and others that think POE 2 BAD...

The game just is not fun to spend time in, even while 1 shotting stuff. That's not all we play poe 1 for. FFS I LOVE playing gauntlet, at least the early ones that had good mods and weren't just adding more projectiles.

What's funny is these bosses are getting 1 shot and ggg's there crying because they spent 6.5 of the 7 years of development designing the boss fight mechanics. and what's even more funny they balanced them around dodge rolling, lol.

the game isn't fun to watch or play.

well, git gud?
What is funny is the game was SSF for 2 days and people lost their minds and thought it as dark souls. Market is flooded now. Just buy some fucking gear for a couple ex and now every thing easy.

I do not get 1 shot anymore at endgame running 6+ mod corrupted t15 maps. And Im missing like 4k ES from better gear and a bugged node (arcane aegis), which is like 30% more EHP for me.

I meant one shotting the boss... the power fantasy in this game is not good enough to make up for the bad game design.

And idc about the trade of the game. You shouldnt' need trade to do well. and idc if you do or not in this game. the items are lame af

This isn't the right answer. Getting 1-shot isn't a skill issue. It's bad game design.

Getting 1 shot is not bad game design.

It could be that you built, on purpose, a glass cannon with no health/defenses.

Is getting 1 shot in that case bad design?

The first character I made was able to take a hit from just about anything and survive. I kept hearing about "Oh that's BS that boss one shot me". Meanwhile I tanked all hits from that boss.

So, when does it go from 'You need more defenses' to 'Bad Design'?
There's obviously going to be some balancing, the devs didn't spend this much time just for us to drop 1-shotting nuclear bombs on pinnacle bosses. It also splits the crowd, some people are doing bad damage and wondering why the game is so hard while the other half has already solved the whole game thinking how someone can be bad at the game while deleting mobs away with just one skill. There's going to be a middle ground that brings back the proper pace for everyone but it will take some time.

Acts 1-3 normal are the hardest part of the game. Cruel and low tier maps are much easier, it's strange, but you will see.

agree, players damage output should be nerfed. Oneshotting bosses is kinda fun once (as a joke), but it really hurts the game (both gameplay and immersion)
