Dominus is unbalanced

Hi,

Dominus just killed me in p2... I asked other players and they told me that i need armour for this boss.

well i never had any problems with other bosses in Cruel mode... i played ES with no armour. Merveil, Vaal and Piety wasnt a problem but when i come to Dominus he just onehited me. I mean wtf is that he oneshotted me in p2 with 1200 hp and ~1300 ES!!! but 0 Armour. For me Dominus is unbalanced cause every boss in PoE is no problem with only ES. So why GGG doesnt fix that. This boss should be playable for everyone.. pure ES, pure armour / life or pure Evasion. but this is totaly unbalanced. other players who want to play only ES just can't kill this boss cause of that problem.

You mean that the end boss of the game, supposed to be strong like a god, screamed "the hand of god !" with many effects and you just tried to tank it ?

Oh please, that is a very good gameplay choice... Probably one of the only thing in PoE that actually requires some skill and alertness.

in the last phase of stage 2 you need either skill (movement, reflexes etc), brutal dps, high spellblock or a lightning resi flask + purity of lightning.

It is the bleed dot from melee swings that kills you in phase 2 so bring bleed remove flasks and roll through them while you race to dps him down in the bubble, its a dps check really since you cant tank the bleeds forever. And if you think cruel is hard just wait till you see him in merciless, even with maxed lightning his abilities knife right through it in phase 1.

watch my video killing him

The only thing that video shows is a character who vastly overlevels the boss fighting him and almost dying on 3 separate occasions. Not sure you want to use that as a brag video. Just an FYI for you.

Seriously people. Dominus isn't supposed to be a faceroll boss. If very boss in this game was as easy as Brutus I'd be playing Candy Crush instead.

Dominus is a wall you have to climb. It's a goal you have to reach, a mountain you have to ascend. Successfully gearing up, leveling up, and gaining the knowledge to beat his ass is a trial: writing your first piano solo. Managing to get to the point where you CAN faceroll him in under 5 minutes is the crowning achievement as of now. It is akin to writing your Moonlight Sonata, planting the flag on Everest.

What I'm saying is. Don't start crying on the forums when you can't beat a boss. Figure out where you fucked up. THAT's how games are meant to be played.

For god's sake reading "Dominus OP this, Voidbears OP that, nerf Devourer here" threads everyday is aggravating.

EDIT: And to answer any potential questions: Merciless Dominus throws me around like a ragdoll still and I get 1-2 shot by Unique Devourers in Orchard. Hasn't stopped me from trying to beat them yet.

Merciless vaal slam still does more than merciless "THE TOUCH OF GOD!"

Not sure why ur complaining.
