WASD also uses a mouse, it just lets you move with the keyboard instead of clicking. I'm guessing a lot of people are choosing click to move out of familiarity and struggling because of it.

New to PoE...if they are keeping the Boss this hard, they shouldn't level cap the area. That will cause people to quit. I am level 18 and can't get past him. Yes he telegraphs, but as a monk if I'm trying to do any melee damage you can't roll out of the way of his big attack.

I don't have capped resistances, but the gear drops don't really allow you to do much with your gear in Act 1, as far as I can tell. Rare stones to add stats or to make standard or magic items rare are few and far between.

I guess I would like to know if I should be Act 1 Boss spamming for gear to see if I can find better items?

I tried. 3 different characters. about 60 to 70 times now.
i cant. i am not even getting close. In his 2nd phase he oneshots me, and in all my attempts i havent even gotten close to getting him under 80 percent.
i spent the last day just trying to kill him, again and again and again.

Cant do it. as soon as he does his red circle, i am dead. dodge doest go far enough to get out of it.

So, thats sad. i spend 60 euros on a support package, and i am hardlocked into watching the first act until the end, and then thats it.

I know, i know, skill issue, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.

Wanna bet i am not the only one with that issue? Think the others will spend another dime in a game they cant progress in? Me neither.

I beat him with my monk at level 17. You might need to look at your build. Invest in Evasion.

its about pattern recognition
this has nothing to do with "gamer skill" or quick reflexes
you tried to overcome the challenge in the way youre used to (grind and build)
those are important no doubt, but now do "the new thing" the game asks of you

observe the moves of the boss AND your own reaction to it
analyse that and adjust accordingly
stop being reactive and start anticipating

the biggest obstacles in that regard are your frustration (understandable, you put in a lot of effort and it didnt pay off) and your bias (thinking its about reaction speed when its really not)
