Jamanra is needs to be tweaked down.

I tried it solo, tried in groups and even had a lvl 47 try to help me, but I am stuck in act 2. I know some jerk will start talking smack about my lack of skills, but I managed to kill every other boss solo before Jamanra. The safety bubble is too small and too hard to see, the DOT damage from wind is too high. Several times I thought I was in the bubble, and I still took DOT damage and died. Other times I could not even see the bubble, especially when I was in groups. While I may not be the most amazing player and my dodge skills may not be great, but I am not a horrible player either. A lot of folks are being introduced to POE for first time, and how many of them will rage quit and never play again after dying 20 times to same boss. That's what I am doing. There is a difference between challenging and unreasonably hard.

Same here. Finished Sekiro and Elden Ring with much Fun and have over 1500h on poe 1 but here I'm stuck. Main problem for me ist the extrem high hp bar of the boss. One mistake and you have to do the same 10 Mins again. That is no fun.

Sounds like your build isn't very fleshed out. I did Jamanrah first try on my Cold Sorc, and my friend with his Witchhunter struggled for some time but made the fight after about 20 minutes. My friend is quite squishy and lacks defensive layers, his only real way to survive is dodging, so I'm guessing your build lacks damage in general.

No Jamanra definitely needs to be tuned down, I did him on the first try in hard-core on one character and I have died to his same attacked where he stabs the ground with a sword and slashes it forwards and oneshots me even with 60% phys mitigation, I have tested in soft core on one of my tools and his sword attack that drags forward away from him does way to much damage and even if you dodge if you're 1pixel to close it one-shot you. I have tanked slams from him and only taken 200 damage and he oneshots my characters that have 800 life

I agree, Jamanra needs to be nerfed asap. Probably I need to check my monk build, but this one is a big wall compared with any previous encounter and not sure if I'll be able to beat it anytime soon despite I'm not unskilled player (but actually a casual one).

Deal with him just fine with my first playthrough with mercenary in tradeleague, and my ssf invoker. He doesn't need to be nerfed, only adjusted on his first phase AoE wind where we need to stand in. The bubble needs to be visually clearer than it is right now, and make it slightly bigger. On second phase, maybe adjust his portals that shoots projectile, either make it not as wide as now, or limit it only 1 portal / cast.

Remember, you are SUPPOSED TO DODGE his attacks, not tank all of them. Spacebar, dodge, use it. And if you get spammed by his spear, deal with him on melee / semi-melee range. If you hit him far enough, he will only spam the spear and you won't even be able to deal damage.

He needs to be nerfed, the difficulty spike is obvious and unnecessary. This is the end of Act II. Again there is difficulty that can be overcome by skill (i.e. gating Act III), then there is just mindless tedium. This one definitely is the latter. You should have a fun challenge and be proud after you did it. All I felt is thank god this **** is over.

this encounter is not doable unless you respec to cold, which is dumb.
I have a high dps spark/flame wall sorceress, i melt the screen on any regular zone before the mobs reach me. in this boss fight I have to survive for roughly 10 minutes and i barely scratch him, even with amplified curse for lowering his resistances. it's just b***shit and no amount of git gud morons can change my mind.

I've also soloed all the other bosses up to this one, and took this one down to 15% at least 3 times in the past hour, it's just too much crap you have to deal with over an extremely long encounter.

He ups his damage considerably in the last phase, while you have dwindling pots (even with having charges/sec pots btw). I also run 50% lightning resist, and he doesn't 1 shot me with any of the abilities in phase 2, so it's not that, it's just stupid amount of health ( more likely stupid amount of resistance ).

My options are to respec to cold, and play something I don't want to, or log off and wait for a patch. Not exactly ideal.

EDIT: just so people don't think i'm some dumbass that likes to whine - i respecced to cold and did the boss, but I don't feel happy about it, it's exactly what i wrote above: https://imgur.com/a/hsCNft7

Lightning Ranger here.
Its god damn impossible to kill this boss.

He needs to be toned down on A2 normal, let him be more of a challenge when repeated in cruel.

A lot of newer players or players who haven't had a chance to learn every new support gem and how to properly build up a character yet OR has had really bad luck with drops will get stuck on act 2 of a 6 act campaign and quit.

It's simply too early in a new character progression path to hit a wall on Jamanra, and anyone who asks for help in global gets insulted and abused by the community.

I've killed Jamanra now for 10 or so people just to try and help people over this unnecessary bump in the road.

Tone down all of A1-3, let characters play around with the builds and learn the game a little better then A4-6 double the cruel difficulty if you must, but you are putting gear and skill checks way to early in the development life cycle.

ESPECIALLY with how garbage the loot is during the early acts of the campaign, most rares dropping a single blue and no crafting currency to use.
