Them 'Fetid Pools'

Yes,the Fetid Pools.One of the best looking areas in the game is sometimes ruined by the hide 'n' seek you gotta play with zombies.

A simple fix would be making the 5 remaining monsters home in on you so you don't have to spend tons of time circling the map.

It's part of the fun. Take your time, hunt and have fun. Why the rush?

Problem is,it's not fun.It's a zombie that I can kill in a hit,there's no thrill there.You just run around like a headless chicken and...yeah.

no it is not fun. I was lucky with this so far but I can imagine the frustration this can cause.

Just change the quest to kill the necromancer.

There are actually people that like this boring as hell gameplay.

No, I am not joking. http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/39245

This game has less chance of improving if these are the types of people who play this game.

"OH MY GOD GUYS, I HAVE 1 MORE ZOMBIE TO KILL IN FETID POOLS, DO YOU KNOW HOW INTENSE THIS IS?! I HAVEN'T BEEN THIS EXCITED SINCE I MASTURBATED 15 MINUTES AGO!!!"

I would make the quest in this way; make the necromancer hard to find with a tricky map and when you kill it the remaning monsters can either die or be shown in the map.

Maybe once you kill the necromancer every monster in the map should home in on you.

It could be a pretty intense final rush.

I agree though that a simpler way to find the last five monsters would be appreciated. Since the game is courteous enough to tell you how many are left, maybe the minimap could show them as white X's? I prefer the homing / hunting idea though.

That was the main suggestion in the thread I just linked. People don't seem to like that idea. No one in this forum likes ideas (or is even willing to properly discuss them) though so it's no surprise.

As it stands, Fetil Pool is just a 'Kill X monsters' quest with a lacklustre UI. It is the antithesis of intense.

For example:

You are trying to kill the necromancer and we he's almost done he creates a big summoning circle and all alive monsters join your battle.

So you can:

1. Kill as much monsters as you wish before the necro (you can do it on higher difficulty levels)

2. Just rush to necro, kill him and kill all monsters
