Uber bosses and bossing builds

Uber bosses just aren't tankable... at all.

GGG might as well just put up a sign saying "Go glass cannon or go home".

The memory game in the end phases of maven is also a joke.

The only viable "bosskiller" builds for end game is something that ressembles a cast on death build, where you have multiple hundreds of millions DPS and just hope to kill something before you get hit.

GGG, please make tanking a viable solution to end game big hits, instead of making it automatically make your character lick the floor.

And this is coming from a guy with more than 6k hours played, not your average idiot who's never even seen shaper.

wrong

yes they arent "face"tankable but with the exception the the 1 shot abilitys that you should have to dodge you can take a few hits here and there

i.e.

uber uber elder channel skill where you have to stay in the safe area should kill you outside of it (its tankable in uber elder and elder fight)

or

uber sirus "die" skill i still tankable with the right setup however getting hit by it and a "slow blob" on the ground will kill you

or

uber exarch fight 1 rolling magmaball wont kill you,but hitting more than 2 will

Did UMaven, USirus, UEater, UShaper, UUElder

On toxic rain champ.

Sounds like a you issue.

This.

Path of Exile is not FF14, where you can be mechanically bad and still expect to beat content. As a general rule, any attack which is slow enough to dodge is an attack which the players are expected to dodge. This applies to things like Shaper Slams, Exarch's Incineration, Sirus Beam Barrage, etc but also to the strongest hits from basic map bosses (Voll's Ground Slam, the Stagnation boss's mud ball, and so on).

Don't stand still in front of a telegraphed hit and you'll be fine.

Yes, and no. You should have 'glass cannon class' dealing AND enough tanking. GGG wants uber uber characters.

You should be able to progress a phase with one or two shots, and survive.

6k hours doesn't mean crap. People can keep playing for 100k hours even if they don't aim to get better as they play and it won't automatically make them better. If you think the only builds that can win are the CoD builds, I'm guessing your idea of a boss fight is to stand still and dish it out, in which case I don't see how that makes you any better than that average idiot who has never seen Shaper.
