Am I the only one who likes the double life bosses?

We're actually engaging with boss mechanics now! I like that! I just wish I could engage more with the regular mobs too besides just the ones with on-death mechanics.

The rest of the mobs need double hp as well so its not just instantly and mindlessly explode screen, move to next screen, repeat.

I always scratch my head when I see a post like this. You do realize you can adjust your own DPS to go at the speed you prefer, yes? This is like driving in real life. Some people want to drive as fast as possible to get the trill out of it. Some prefer slower speeds to enjoying the scenery. But in real life, it would be ridiculous for slow drivers to demand car manufacturers only produce cars with very slow top speeds. But this is what happens in PoE. It's like demanding everyone plays at the speed you enjoy the most. This is just self-centered and stupid.

I do like it. I had a great experience unlocking core this league with my first char. Most fun I've had in a boss fight in a long time.

Find ANY game EVER that does what GGG has done.........I'll wait.

Wow, VERY well put response, wow. :) If the game was RL...ok, its not. Get these "scary monsters" in my RL face, they don't have ANY options. Why make "games" like life? Only play this game to escape my life. I want to die for one wrong move, I'll go outside. You know what I mean? Just a thought.


Edit.....Btw, first part is absolutely sincere. Kinda comes off as not, lol.

edit: specifically my issue is the gulf in difficulty between bosses and ALL other content in the game.

Reluctantly agree with you.


Edit.....The "gulf" is just that, nice choice of words.

I like it, too.

Obviously I enjoyed steamrolling them before, most bosses were just lootbags.
But now, they feel a bit more like encounters... like boss fights.

No. It's a cheap way to induce artificial difficulty without adding anything relevant to the fight.

Pretty much this.
Now, considering a risk/reward ratio if you do not one-shot boss, it often will be better to skip him (especially on maps like Excavation).
