Current Simulacrum is absolutly atrocius and way overtuned

Hi,

Recently I've had a doubtful pleasure of attempting to play Simulacrum after farming Breaches and other activities for so long and I got to say THIS IS SINGLE WORST PIECE OF ENDGAME CONTENT IN THE ENTIRE POE2.


Like I've been dealing with Xesth Diff 4, Arbiter higher diffs, King of the Mist but Simulacrum is just something else. And it's not even about the bosses it's about the way in which entire event is designed because it's not the boss who is likely to kill you it's the wave before him.


The shortest description of Simulacrum I can put for any class without ability to cover entire map in AoE all the time / or TONS of survivability is luck roulette. There is no skill check, no playing around something.


If mobs spawn and while still immune push you into AoE/On Death Effect you are dead.
If monsters get some insane modifiers which let them quickly close distance and duck you up you're dead.
If there will be a mana drain monster who is going to take away your ability to defend yourself you're dead.
If you operate in the center of the map you're likely to be pushed into something.
If you operate near the edge you're likely to be pushed into corner and swarmed.

And just to be clear my Deadseye has over 2k hp and a bit of ES so it's not a tank but not a complete paper - I'm used to many mechanics being able to kill me which other classes may be able to survive. I am not lacking dps.

It's just that if certain things which are quite likely to happen occur you're dead - and this death is something you can't really play around. There is no dodging, not playing less/more aggressively nothing you can do. Simply monsters spawn and before you can do anything about it you're dead or you see yourself getting pushed into the thing which will kill you.

And I am speaking about Diff 0/1 - I don't even want to think how does it look like on higher diffs.

This kind of event construction design sux - you're simply playing 2 Div roulette or completely lock out of certain piece of content classes which aren't sitting on HP/ES which lets them survive bullshit.

As of now Simulacrum even at lower difficulty levels is the HARDEST PIECE OF ENDGAME BY FAR.
