Act 3: Seriously?

Some feedback

I've been rolling in Act 3

Only to GET rolled by the bosses....

I get the game is EA and you need to gatekeep content somewhat..

But the dichotemy between zoning in this act and the actual bosses is a solar system apart... if not more.

My curse based witch can pretty much zone the areas withoutmuch difficulty only to get absolutely rekted at bosses...

That's 900hp, 900 energy shield, 25% chaos resistance being absolutely trolled on by viper or forgemaster in act 3...

w...t...f...

How am I able to stroll through a chapter zone and then get absolutely trolled on by a boss. That speaks volumes to the balance of the game in this chapter.

What am I supposed to build? More energy shield at 900 shield?
more Hp at 900 hp?

Or can you just concede that the amount of AOE spam would send anyone crying for the hills... I'm mainly passive FFS.... how is a melee supposed to survive this... using a metabuild you're basically nerfing each and every week ?

Act 3 isnt early access, its an untestet alpha version.

Bugged, imbalanced ...

It seems they were running out of time until release

As attested to by the fact that Guild-related and some other MTXs still apparently don't translate to PoE Deuce. ='[.]'=

For my Stormweaver it's the other way around. Bosses get zapped but regular mobs almost kill me on the regular. Have to play super safe or I get fucked.

This feels like it was slapped together during a 6 month crunch not thought out and fine tuned for years supposedly only taking the good ideas that worked in PoE and improving on them. Right.... I dunno.... just feeling extreme disappointment and sadness right now. No more MTX money from me that EA fee is the last money they'll get from me.
Bosses obvi need a tune. Studios don't have the funds to employ "Grandmas Boy" lvl testers. Welcome to the fold boys.
The length of the maps in act 3 are indeed a chore. And with the new checkpoint system it really feels like work, all the time worrying not to die since you would have to do these HUGE areas again.

Took me ages to find places where I needed to go (Matland Waterways, Drowned City, Apex of Filth, Utzaak)

And I have the same problem as AshPrinner. My damage on Bosses is fine for me but I have to be really careful with regular mobs.

I am using a Frost Blood Mage with Cast on Freeze with Comet and Frost Wall.
I can put Frost Wall right on top on big mobs which deals a lot of damage and freezes pretty quick. But on small mobs the walls just push them away.

Well, I guess the freezing on large mobs will get nerfed as well rather than the other way around :D
