Maven is just an unfun mess

She really just feels like you guys had no idea how to design the fight so you just made it a mess... which seems like the theme for POE1 Bosses.
Maybe start by trying to make the fight fun and from there tune the numbers to design the challenge.. not just layer degen puddles projectiles... Last bumped on Jun 22, 2025, 10:16:36 AM

The problem is that the entry costs for the endgame bosses are too high, its ridiculous.
You want to train Maven? Too bad, run hundreds of maps to get the keys. Either you grind a lot of keys and then doing them in one run, or you sell every key you get and forget the bosses. Most of them are for the no-lifers anyway. |

Maven is pretty bad yeah, I always just buy my voidstone carries for her and uber elder because I can't be bothered to spend hours farming their invitations, with the chance of dying 6 times and losing it all. Why do that when I can just pay someone 80c to carry the boss for me?

The Problem with maven is: Your brain can either do Simon says or it does not.
In all of my PoE Career I never managed to do the third memory game but still, no problem since you no longer lose EXP. Just eat the death " 8, or worst case scenario 12 maps is not much Last edited by MaxW81#9965 on Jun 21, 2025, 1:36:48 AM

Most bosses in PoE arent designed to be fair or even fun. The intent is you make a build that excels at killing them by doing so much dps that they skip mechanics.

it would be a much easier boss fight if we had no turnrates just like in poe2
the character in poe1 just needs half a second to turn in another direction which is really bad for a arpg "There are Penalties in the Game, no one's complaining about them"

To me Maven is by far one of the best bosses in this game along with U.Elder.
Compared to them these new bosses they added this expansion are kalandra level letdown. I honestly couldn't wait to rush through all of them and probably will never touch them again unless its absolutely necessary. Last edited by gabpla111#1381 on Jun 22, 2025, 9:54:49 AM

Not a good boss fight, yeah. You can remove second Maven and second brain phase completely and lose nothing. Last memory game lacks visual clarity because of the beams.
