One: Incredibly build specific. Ultimatum was already build specific in PoE 1. It has not changed. You need regen, you need survivability, you need specific build. This is why I always skipped Ultimatum in PoE 1. Now it is mandatory.

Two: RNG. Couple this up with the first point and you got yourself a disaster. Area two is always the "fight in small space, and we spawn lots of mobs on you". Well you happen to get a rare mob with flask siphon and/or mana siphon and your ranger build is done for. These fights used to be bearable in PoE 1 because we had good movement skills. Now we have NOTHING. Escape shot is actually so fucking useless that it's better to just run away than try to use it and be locked in the animation for 2 seconds.

Three: Mob design. The first part is already a spectacle. "Kill all mobs". And what mobs did you guys choose for this event? Some chargers that go all over the map when they miss you and you have to keep searching the map all over for them. Just ... i can't even...

Four: Animations. Do we REALLY need a god damn 5 second animation to socket in the gems we pick up? I mean would it really be that bad if we could just go and pick up the three small items. Smack them down and be done with it? Noooooo... Must have a 5 second animation of you putting in the gem stones to the sockets. Oh you chose a ghost to follow you? Well too bad enjoy your ruin. Oh the whole area is blanketed with lighting and socketing the gems will 100% kill you and you can't avoid it? Well too bad. But look at this nice shiny animation!

Just... no.

Nerf the everliving shit out of this place or I swear to god 90% of casual players will stop at this point. I have 4000 hours in PoE 1 and I'm literally thinking about giving up.
