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

"

I made the '3k life is low' point several times myself -- I'm clearly not arguing that. Just your silly 'cursing is harrrrrrrrrrrrd' crap.

It was actually a comment directly pursuant to the low life value; everything follows from there, it is not independent. In any case, if you want to make recommendations for how to play this scenario given the present constraints, by all means do. Just avoid the insults.

Steelpoint hits hard, but decoy totem catches most of the hits, and he had Enfeeble on him all the time, obviously. I never died to him.

Well, I am ranged (and early on I assumed OP was ranged). I therefore don't close. Whenever I do this map I'm not particularly willing to die, as I am level 80. So I don't experiment. What I haven't tried is dropping the decoy at the neck of the room and then quicksilvering into the room. But that's what I would have to do to even have an option to curse.

My solo strategy for this boss is to decoy and pray that gets the boss to come around the necked entrance. This is a bit iffy and time consuming. If that happens, I don't need a damage reduction curse, particularly, and I might even be off screen a bit to the south, just barely.

Decoy totem makes almost all boss encounters easy.

I generally agree with this comment. Decoy totem is this game's 'easy button' overall. It is perhaps one of the best mitigation tools in the game.

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.

Don't worry.

He 2-shot me and I had 60k armour (with a Granite & Molten Shell) and 2.4k HP.

No kidding? Do you know how armour works?

Of course.

It comes to a point where there is no build diversity except for HP-stacking.

That is why Armour is close to useless ... Evasion kinda but ES is the only version of "defence" that provides indirect HP boosts.
