10k armor, 3k health, max resists, Steelpoint two-shots me with his RoA

Did he get a stealth buff?

EDIT: My main point (other than to vent my utter disbelief at what happened) is that I really don't think it's good game design.

Note that I'm not crying for across the board nerfs of all map bosses because I think they are difficult. Believe me when I say I fully support and enjoy a difficult endgame. I've been sitting on my ass in front of a computer screen for too long to be satisfied by anything less.

Simply put, I don't understand why Steelpoint's damage is so much insanely higher than any other 67 map's boss. I would think that on the basis of good game design, a character should not be able to steamroll any other 67 map but gets two-shotted on ONE PARTICULAR 67 map with ZERO signs or warnings (no auras, no indication of shit high extra damage).

He was always this strong. You may have also taken a crit though... with 10k armor I think he would take 3 hits.

I never remembered Steelpoint being able to two-shot my ranger.

And she has worse gear than my Cleaver has now.

3k health, lol

And 10k armour isn't that impressive either. Did you at least granite up? (rhetorical question)

What am I supposed to do? Farm Docks until I'm level 80 with full + health + resists gear and then do a level 67 map?

I've cleared 10 other 67s with ease before dying to Steelpoint.

You need health not armor.I facetank everything with my 1.700 armor and 4.700 health.Life leech is very important and dont forget to use enfeeble/temporal chains for dangerous monsters.

3k health is just really low.

Edit: and use enfeeble on bosses until you have better gear

thats one of the flaws of the game design imho.
even very well geared and 15+ lvl over the map's mobs can in some cases instantly kill you.

the game has more frustration moments then rewarding moments. especially on high lvl. and i see a lot of people quitting because of this. playing a game should be fun and relaxing in the first place. if a game eventually becomes frustrating to play people will just avoid it and move along ... and this is lately happening in poe. my 2 cents.

Life leech doesn't do anything against one or two big (consecutive) hits, which is what this thread is about. Derp on.

I do. Level 17 too.

It's just that there was no other boss that literally two shotted me.

It's just ridiculous to suddenly have a boss that destroys any reasonably geared melee character to just pop out.

Case in point I (and any other character at my health level) could take 5 full shots of Bramblemist's Chaos Damage multiple projectiles.
