PoE 2 hahahahahaha

It's a design issue not a skill issue. Act1 boss is the toughest in the campaign and end game citadels. The first main boss should be designed to ease players in, then progressively get tougher.

I feel sorry for you bro. It's part of the game mechanic and getting gud. If your build can't make it play another class until you already have a full grasp of how it works. Change your gears and build resistance as it is important in this game and play a big role. Read my signature. Welcome to Path of Dark Souls!

when I first encountered this boss I had to get more AOE damage in order to sustain my health/rotation through that phase when the wolves spawn.

which part is causing your death?

I have attempted to complete Act 1 countless times, all but 2 have succeeded.
I have faced incredibly difficulty with this game, I have researched for hours, watching videos, tips and tricks.
And this comment is the one I feel sums up my experience, the game should progressively get tougher but the game starts out tough and apparently gets easier...
But I accepted the fact this game is not designed for me, I am not the target audience, so I went on the forums, provided feedback and stopped playing.

This is wild! He's not hard and literally every class has an aoe skill which pops the peasants who come running in to the executioner which deal damage, lol dive roll, hit, pop, dead.. as someone whos not far off 50 years old the bosses in this game are really not that challenging at all.

Wait, are you talking about the executioner or big boy outside of town which again is just dive, hit, dive hit, repeat til he summons, kill minions, repeat initial rotation...

This is same as;
Half the population stand up to wipe after doing #2
and the other half who sit to wipe don't even know the other existed.
But i have tried this approach, dive, hit, dive hit, after about 8 mins my hands get sore, dive hit, kill minions, miss a dive dead.
Rinse and repeat for about 40mins and give up.

I'm 53 years old and the only boss I had any difficulty with was Viper in cruel.

And it wasn't her, it was her shield maidens with their poison spears. I was using entirely leveling uniques so I had negative chaos res and they would 1-shot me from 100%.

So I just had a friend come kill her for me so I could move on.

Geonor did kill me in a juiced citadel because I was playing like a moron.

Other than that, most of my deaths have come from ridiculous rares I wasn't prepared for.

Don't take this as condicending but I am 100% bored with the game at the moment and if you want (timezones permitting) we could roll a couple of brand new chars I won't twink mine out and we can run thru together and I can help/show you? If you want that is.

Other way round it is I just give you some handy uniques to help but I am a giant re-roll wh0re so more than happy to run levels with you

Appreciate the offer, I have tried with friends and it just makes the experience worse because all the monsters have significantly more hp. It has been the only way I managed to get a character to level 28 though, I can't do it on my own and that is the problem. I have to be carried to play this game, meanwhile i'm 40/40 in POE1, level 100 on multiple characters, cleared all the ubers content.
I just cannot comprehend this game, at all.
