GG white mob stuns

2 days of prep to find the perfect node of +2 Boss , Breach , 100% exp boost T16 just to be stunned twice in a row by a white mob from the second pack and die.

Say what you want but this feels SO BAD, SOOO DAMN BAD!!! Feels like I stole the family savings and went to casino, just to lose it on the first bet. The feeling is CRUSHING. It kills the desire to even try again. Everything in the game rushes you and every ability can stun you, oh yeah, you have 1 try. Good Luck ! You will need it!

Sigh ....

I hate to say it but unless your build has great damage projection and crowd control you're in trouble.

Work on the following:

1. Damage projection -- kill the whole screen before they kill you.
2. Crowd Control -- Freeze, stun, whatever so you can DPS them down at leasure
3. Mitigation/Avoidance -- be able to take some hits, ignore stun, and avoid hits all together.
4. Recovery -- If not being one-shot you need to recover fast enough to get back in the fight at decent health.


The catch 22 is that if you don't also make your character weaker [by using rarity] you're leaving a massive loot multiplier on the table. Without that loot [including currency] multiplier you're playing PoE2 "in ruthless mode" and from what I can tell by design intent you're not supposed to be playing that way.

I thank you for the input but this will be it. I ... nvm

If it matters I understand where you're coming from.

I'm one of the idiots that isn't playing with much MF [rarity] so I'm not actually getting enough good drops to progress. I'm not dieing in maps but I'm not making huge progressions in power either.

Note: My build doesn't have impressive damage projection, mobility, or crowd control. I have enough damage mitigation, avoidance, and recovery to get by but it's a slog. Throw in a lack of rarity and of course I'm poor.


I know I should just make the choice, take rarity and just loose a chunk of maps via death as part of the cost of doing business ... it still grates on my nerves though.

YMMV

Please return 6 portals for use over the new years. Leave the extra content on nodes also. This will get you extra feedback from those who cant reach the later stages of the game without it. Atm seems that there is feedback from "The Sweats" about the whole game, and feedback from the others about the campaign and initial maps.
