Obviously not played much yet. Though i fear twitchiness is gonna to be much greater than in 1. Also i can't play for shit in every class except sorcerer, with warrior and monk i can't even kill fucking Miller lol (first intorductory boss).

    I'm a new player to POE, and I'm honestly loving it so far. Maybe that's cos I am a bit of a souls fiend but honestly, loving the more deliberate combat - but that said, I'll need to give more classes a go first before having a full opinion

          Last boss in A1 is the one insufferable, i researched as much as i could and you do absolutely need to be either overelevelled or/and have reflex good enough to perfeclty dogde his fog phase, except that he's mostly also just huge HP sponge like all other bosses.

            just beat him! took me about 5 or 6 tries - the fog is anxiety inducing hahaha but once I realised he rushes in after each voice line finished, it was a matter of just getting the timing down and either killing the adds or dodging until the phase was over and he killed them himself

            also took me a while to not take hits from his meteor attack, but i got it down in the end. Not sure what counts as overlevelled here, I didn't grind and I was level 16 when I beat him - I'm now on to Act 2 :))

              Yes i know it too, but simply can't do it, 20 or so attempts, i guess this game isn't made for age 50+ disabled people, strange all others in the genre apparently are.

                Try to improve your armor parts and weapon. Can't have bullshit wolfpack phases if you beat the shit out of him beforehand.

                    After I upgrades whatever I could I killed him after one bullshit phase.

                    It really is the worst bossfight so far.

                      There was a patch around yesterday and i feel like the game suddenly become easier, so i was able to beat him, probably because they improved dodge so mobs block you way less. They also improved loot, more yellow items and slightly more orbs drop now.
