lol, Necropolis boss.

This isn't even a hard map mod set. It's just a fucking Magic map with extra enemy life.

Why is this game so BAD???

This boss literally just frame-1 bone prisons me and I die. I don't use any abilities that have a Z axis, so I cannot escape. And not escaping that means I die.

I die before my Karui can expire and full heal me.

I got to him one time through luck, and couldn't kill him in... I guess the 2 seconds I had.

RIP all my portals, all my exp.

You guys call this a "hardcore gaming experience"???? This is just a retarded gaming experience. You have NO IDEA what difficulty actually is.

Dying =/= difficult.

throwing a bunch of horse shit at players is not making a difficult game. It's just making a bad game.

Jesus F. Christ.

All I do is rant about this game. I have almost no enjoyment. I just cannot FATHOM how you guys LIKE this shit. "Oooh yay, another 1-shot! Oh boy, SO FUN!"

The only people who don't have shitty experiences are those who actively avoid a large portion of the game's shitty content, or those who are too rich to give a shit.

Why is this Ok??? Why does nobody seem to want to fix this game???

AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just another one of those necessities, like "of Staunching" has turned into: If you want to run Necropolis and kill the boss, you have to bring Phasing or a movement skill that traverses barriers. You got some options, like Flame Dash, Whirling Blades, Quartz Flask, Leap Slam, Lightning Warp, etc.

An alternative, if you think real fast, is to portal out and back in... but this is less than optimal, especially if you aren't, as you say, "too rich to give a shit" (and therefore could probably one-shot the boss).

You found the Problem, aka no Z axis movement skill, now deal with the problem.
Socket leapslam or any other movement skill and voila you dont die anymore....
Dont know why this is so hard?

This game is all about knowing your encounters to avoid death. Either you read up or watch youtube video before or you take the chance to die to something you didnt know about.

Now i don't understand the rage, see it as a learning experiece. Your lvl 90, the xp loss isnt that big of a deal. But if you can't stand these sort of things, then maybe this game aint for you, no one is forcing you to play it.

The problem is that 1 of 2 things must be happening in this scenario.

1) Pigeonholing into specific abilities.

-or-

2) Having to carry around gem swaps, which is super clunky and really annoying.

None of these are good.

And speaking of clunky, I find Leap Slam to be really clunky to use... Shield Charge has its problems with edges, but the reason I use it is because its explosion at the end ALWAYS hits regardless of my accuracy (which I do not have, since I am a spellcaster).

PoEs No1 rule is to have 1 “doge” skill, u just have to find 1 socket for it man, as for necropolis boss he’s a bastard;) If u don’t need t map for atlas, u can skip t boss a loads of ppl skip bosses since 3.0 cos t health boost and no loot drops of them. I don’t skip bosses unless i have some bad rolls on map but must say bosses loot is totally shite! GGG should do something about it but that’s a different topic...

You should play something else fam. Seriously.

It's a shame - ripping to that unsophisticated skeleton.

You definitely should run some double beyond maps.

Lore has it that if you defeat 5 of those maps consecutively a mirror drops.

Shield Charge is generally a faster and smoother movement skill than leap slam, and now you know what shield charge lacks when compared to leap slam.

Congratulations on a lesson learned.
