The bone pits boss. iktab and ekbab

What an absolutely frustrating set of bosses to face at level 20-24. The sheer volume of projectiles and the speed of their attacks are completely over the top. As a melee player, what am I even supposed to do against this? It’s not fun—it’s downright horrible.

Melee has always been underwhelming, and Path of Exile 2 doesn’t improve things. Honestly, I almost wish melee would be removed from both POE 1 and 2 because enjoying it requires finding some broken, overpowered mechanic to make it viable.

I managed to kill one boss, only to be bombarded by the other with constant projectiles, while dodging homing balls on top of it?! This is the kind of design that makes me feel like I’m done with melee for good. In fact, I’m seriously considering stepping away from POE entirely for a year. This isn’t fun—it’s a waste of time and effort.

I just want to chime in and say I absolutely feel your pain.

This is a very tough fight. The first phase with the mammoth and the ekbab guy are manageable. But when you kill the mammoth, the caster dude becomes ridiculously hard.

The main culprit is when he casts the orb in the middle of the arena, and it shoots projectiles. The telegraphing on that is HORRIBLE. The fire rate and speed of the projectiles are wayyyyyy too fast. This is probably the only boss skill I couldn't consistently dodge by "gitting gud" in the ENITRE campaign. It was nearly all my deaths.

Then you have the telegraphing on the meteors. The AoE is WAY LARGER than the circular red indicator. This is flat out unacceptable as it is straight up lying to you. I could be standing a meter outside the red circle and the meteor still hits. This goes against the entire point of the telegraph. "This is where the meteor lands!!! Better get out of the circle!!! SIKE!!!! THE METEOR IS ACTUALLY WAY BIGGER!!! IDIOT!!"

This is just some rookie developer shit. Devs need to do better with that.

First time my encounter with these two while playing warrior was simple. I just ran through both ez. You guys are such a whinny ppl. Go play diablo it's easy.

Had no problem with them on my warrior.

^^' Do not blame the developers for your boomer hand-eye-coordination.

They are probably one of the easiest bosses during the campaign.

You are supposed to kill them at the same time.
