you got a dodge on spacebar.
Have you tried using it?

Maybe your reading aid is confused because I specifically said he bonked me with auto lock to my dodge roll.

You lack Stun threshold then.
It is a skill issue in build making.

Maybe I lack experience then. Care to elaborate how Stun treshold helps against one shot? Does it help with the autolock.

Though I have taken care to have Stun treshold because in the past I have died to Stun locks on higher tiers.

Evasion is a roulette (im not sure it works against slams tho)

You can't evade red attacks, everything else you can evade after they merged acrobatics with the base evasion

It's not hard, and it's the same with every single mob, hold the roll. You arn't ment to roll as soon as you get a que, most mob/boss slams can be walked away from w/ a possible emergency roll towards the end of ability if needed.

If the player in this clip had moved at all to the side, a roll behind towards the end would get them out of the slam cone. They died because they didn't move. You are ment to die from a heavy slam with sloppy play because it's easily avoidable (requires no es/hp).



If something is avoidable 9 times out of 10 it will kill you (Zaccie mentioned something to this effect recently).

100% ass

You got hit by the edge of the slam. I see no issue here. The oneshot is also looks fair, you have 1500/1900 life/es on level 73.
I have 1500 es for the monkey in act 3 on HC :D

I see no issue with the monkey himself, its fun boss, but i clearly see the issue with armor/evasion.
Evasion is a roulette (im not sure it works against slams tho)
and Armor is absolutely useless against such slams as monkey bonk which is so stupid since armor is used for most "tanky" archetypes.

So its funny when monkey can easily oneshot "armored" warriors, but can't do anything against ES stacker "squishy" mages. ES even recharges for free between monkey hits.

Look again ...
im behind his hip ..

that is a 180 degree wide death zone .
Its no accident nobody want's to do it.
Its obviously broken. its even nice andd slow for you .....
Monkey flashes red facing 180 the wrong way , does a tracking attack pivot and kills an opponent behind his hip..

Its trash.

please GGG can you do something about this. I quit this season as of now. Getting lock slammed on endgame maps by him and one shotted without anything to do is so aggravating.

From wha I’ve seen from the hc death videos, race videos and streamers deaths this is killing your motives to play the game.

And now you even added more of these guys into the game.

Lvl 75~ running 4k effective health is nothing when he just auto locks to your roll and bonk. You are back to the peach, except this time it’s in 2 months maybe.

Critical Kill in PoE2 is main point of this Soul ARPG, never will be removed...is against design.

The bonk is fine when working as intended.
It's how bosses should be in general tbh.

I have seen some clips of people getting bullshitted by it though. Seems like a bug in an otherwise good mechanic... Or some people are gaming on dialup in 2025.

Roll earlier next time and try using them legs of yours. 100% skill issue.

El. oh. él.

This wouldn't be an issue if GGG didn't make all maps have bosses in 0.3.1. Back when bosses were optional, they were still jank, but we could at least tolerate it or deal with it somehow. Now, if you don't like bossing, PoE2 is no longer a game for you. They actually understood this before; Back in the 0.1 days, I remember them saying in an interview that if you don't like bossing or certain bosses, you could avoid them, roughly 75% of the time.

This is purely a 0.3.1 problem.

Correct. So what are we doing? You quit the season because you're dying with 4k EHP? I'm so confused.

Omg, I quit like 3 weeks ago for similar reasons, and from what I can see here, you’re just barking.By the way, I saw the picture of your currency that you posted - compared to me, you had nothing. That’s proof you’re just a big mouth with no skill or game knowledge, defending every idiotic decision made by the devs.

With decent Stun threshold you won't be stunlocked by regular hits, so you can dodge the slam.
If you're ES user, you definitely need some Stun Threshold from ES.
