Dont wanna fight bosses I need level up.
|
I have a good character, but bosses are too hard for it by now.
I just want to have fun, and that is why I only kill mobs across the maps. I get experience, I dont die... I get level up, I get better gear and well... I get fun. This is how I do it: 1. Open a map, clean all but boss. 2. Open other map, clean all but boss. 3. Repeat loop. I lose tablets feature, I don't care. I need level up. Last bumped on Oct 15, 2025, 5:03:52 PM

I had the same problem and I took some advice from a poe vet and it was "minimum 5k hit points" i did this and it changed my game. I was scared of bosses too but if u implement this I promise you'll love the game more! You'll actually have a fight and eventually scrape them off your boots.
Obviously still watch out for giant monkey** |

bosses should be optional.

This is in line with the hard game they wanted.
During one of the MANY interviews leaing up to 0.1 launch they told us "we want the game to be a punch in the gut" -- They loved that you lose experience when you die. They kept it in the game for 13 years for a reason. And I like it too. It tells you your character sucks, it just does it indirectly and you've got to use your brain a little. The evasion nerf hit me too, now bosses one shot me, have to play better and build MORE defenses. It's simply a tool that reminds you in real time that your build isn't done. Want to level? Build defenses. Everybody thinks more damage, more damage, must have more damage... Have you realized with a little less damage and a TON more health you can sleepwalk through most bosses? In POE 1 we always say "you only need 1m dps" -- now to kill ANYTHING we do only need about 1m dps. SO how do the tanky survive? They stop focusing on DPS and put full effort into defenses. |

So, I focus on my defenses, well. I have tried that, I survive bosses, but I last too much time to kill a boss, even other monsters. So I level up slower.
Fighting against the same monster during 10 minutes is quite boring. I wont do that anymore :) " A lot of fun builds. |

" You are not ready for that content yet. They raised the difficulty ceiling in the patch to create more longevity for the players that were already 1 shotting all the bosses and not even level 95+. I was in a similar position until i upgraded some jewels and moved some passives around, now I one shot bosses again. In other words, its a skill issue. Don't just blindly follow some click bait build posted months ago.. Tweak what's there and make it work with the new changes, or wait until next league, but you will probably have the same complaints |

Are you completely unable to do even tier 1 map bosses? In that case you should probably do the interludes for a while.
Otherwise, do tier 1 map bosses, or whatever tier of bosses you can actually consistently beat. "But level?" Stop caring about level. It's more important to being able to consistently clear a map. The levels will come after that. Even if your tiers are so far behind of your character level that you don't get any XP whatsover, it doesn't matter. Just do the maps. Kill monsters and use items for upgrades. But most importantly, farm currencies. Even tier 1 maps will drop chaos orbs from time to time. You'll eventually have enough chaos orbs to trade them with a divine. By then you can start going to the marketplace to find gear upgrades. With the gear upgrades you'll be able to do higher tier bosses and that's when the levels will start coming. |

" But now you've conquered the biggest problem. The only way is up now! U can start to build into your damage with your points |

" its a step by step process, and many don't realize this, they want to get from point A to B instantly, not start and A and work towards B. Defenses are first. Damage is second. Always. |
