Minotaur map.

Second time doing the t16 maze map and because all I did was get instantly killed by the boss the first attempt I made sure that there was no mod that boosted the bosses damage yet first try and I get killed while the boss wasnt even on screen.
It honestly pisses me off because I dont even know what is killing me, I did the rest of the map just fine, and after the first 5 seconds of the boss fight I cant even get close to it without getting instantly killed.
I have never played a game where I have 70+ days worth of time played and still felt like I dont know what the f I'm doing. It took ggg reworking the melee side of the tree just to be able to get to this point and yet that's apparently still not enough.
Before this league I'd be lucky to be able to do yellow maps.
And to top it all off I dont get any good drops. I'm lucky if I even get a single chaos to drop every other map.
Dont know why this game has to be so hard yet unrewarding at the same time. God forbid people can play most content on builds they make themselves without relying on premade ones or a third party tooltip or looking online for help about every single part of the game.

I guess it´s his burrow attack. It´s better to keep him on screen to know what he´s doing.
He does physical damage mostly so any physical mitigation is recommended.

EE has explained all his mechanics very well.

Like I said he was killing me without even being on screen so I don't know what you expect me to do to get close to him. I only need to use one flask to get to capped physical damage reduction so I mean unless I try to get more Health then I don't know what else to do but the thing is my first character that I did this map with had little over 6K health and he was instantly killing me the second character had a lot more damage I believe but has a little less health so I really dont know why I bother playing this game.

Maybe I should just wait a few years until they finally updated the game enough to where it doesn't require a Ph.D and god tier characters to do the content.

What happened the last time he killed me was I was fighting him the first few seconds of the match went pretty decent and then I saw him winding up for what looked like a ground slam sort of attack and so remembering that he instantly killed me on my last character I leap slammed away from him I heard him do his attack and so I started making my way back to him and before I even got back to the spot where he was at I instantly died for what seemed no reason at all with full health and flasks active and yet I still instantly ripped.

Have you watched a good video on the fight? Try Engineering Eternity on all the guardians.

End game content is totally about understanding the fights and avoiding everything that's meant to be avoided.

Well we can only guess what happened. Lag, Desynch, Not seeing his underground attack or whatever.

I see it might be frustrating but you play one of the hardest content and the game is designed the way to kill you.
Btw game used to be harder in the past …

Btw are we talking about Quazymotto lvl 86 Berserker?

You could improve your gear and tree if you want.
You can drop Eagle Eye passive (it will not effect your chance to hit)
Steadfast seems a good choice (armour and fortify effect)

Impale gem and tree cluster would buff your damage by a lot (you have pure physical build). Getting more levels and six linked body would help too...

Get Vaal molten shell and cast it before fight.
Add basalt flask or EC eventually and you should be able to tank him now.

Btw I am 99% sure you have no capped physical resistance not even close.
Tooltip just shows physical resistance vs average monster. It means nothing in boss fight (armour is getting less effective with bigger hits)

You have a choice adapt your build and/or playstyle or don´t bother killing the hardest content. That´s nothing bad though. You can do different things according to your tastes.

Unless I started getting better drops besides 1c every other map then there isnt really any hope of getting a 6L.

I play on xbox and a 6L is 4 or 5ex minimum if im lucky.

If I could get a 6L then I would invest some points into impale but I'd rather try and get more defense.

And as far as better gear I doubt I can find much better without spending way too much on it. And my luck is absolutely trash when it comes to crafting.

And I love that the game never explained that your defense gets weaker vs bosses. (I just checked)

Its obvious that bosses do more damage but how the hell am I supposed to know that my armor gets nerfed against them?

Well I don´t know XBOX market but there are different divination card sets that offers 6-linked body (I don´t mean tabula).
There are different crafting methods from basics to advanced you can apply then.

I do not have the currency to waste on a divination card that's probably going to give me something stupid like some six linked robe and like I said my luck on this game is trash so getting the armor that I need plus good mods on it will probably be next to impossible.
I would be better of with the chest piece I have now or trying to save for one that's better.
