Boss on every map = SUX

Thanks for catering to max level, max gear, rich speed runners and 💩 on the rest of us.


My broke-ass ~12d build with my random-ass build seems to be doing okay... like yeah I got hit but my "useless" armor/deflection kept me alive.

Are you absolutely sure there's nothing you might be able to do to improve your situation here?

I think he just needs more experience.

You don't have to kill 'em. Just leave boss be and go to next map.


Won't the next map just have a boss as well?


I have a surprise for you... You can skip that too!

Pretty sure the Map won't be completed if you don't kill the boss, so if you actually want to progress through your Atlas, you will have to kill it.

Honestly, this whole update seems extremely tone-deaf from GGG. The quant per tablet is too low, tying it to max mods and keeping the 1 portal system sucks for Solo players (and Groups already had a massive advantage compared to Solo players in PoE 1 to begin with due to how busted party scaling is in terms of drops) and now you're also forced to kill Bosses on every single map you do, not to mention that they can also be buffed up to Deadly Bosses.

The game just keeps adding more and more punishing stuff to something that should just be your regular mapping experience and updates like this make me think I'm not welcome as a Solo player.
+1 I'm now done with a game i loved yesterday. Fuck em
Bosses are the fun part of maps :s No one liked killing endless rares, who spawn off in the middle of no where and in every direction. Kill the boss and move on, while node travel now isn't so important, prior it became a slog to clear maps.


If you can't kill a boss then your build/gear has issues, there are rares which are far more deadly.

you're out of touch.
I'm a skeptical user and borderline hater.
You have a video of probably the easiest boss in the game - Davy Jones? LOL.

Yea, Now try a T16 50% delirious map and fight the damn bird that pukes out it's puppy.

I am fighting T3 Xesht all day, but some of these bosses are trash to fight.

Agree on some being trash but thats another issue xD The bird is easy, most bosses are countered by just moving...
