New Player Questions

Hello,

I am enjoying PoE2 albeit am massively behind and currently only on Act II :-) I am playing an Ice Strike Monk I got from Zizaren's channel.

But I have some questions:

-- In combat am I meant to edge along and make sure I only pull a few mobs? And then it should take 5 or 6 attacks to kill even normal white mobs?

-- Rares I need to fight like mini-bosses and kite them off somewhere and run in circles around them, dodge attacks, etc? Sort of like Archnemesis mobs?

-- What is the reason why my flasks do not re-fill and I have to go back to town to use the well? Does this mean I am taking too much damage and should be using my flasks less?

-- The bosses are fine and reminds me of playing WoW back in the day where I had to learn the mechanics. It's the normal mobs that seem to take ages and the campaign feels like wading through treacle.

-- I fully admit to being a terrible gamer as I both nearly 60 and have a neurological disability that makes me *slooooow* :-)

So basically is it just meant to be like this or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks.
