Path of Exile 2

What's with this wolf boss?
I get it. Finale bosses should be difficult, but seriously? It's the first one! Like, I can handle any other boss with some struggle, but this guy has such a sporadic attack pattern with constant flows of attack, which is fine, but during his little mist attack where he just summons wolves at you and dives across the map, the wolves can permastun you if you let more than one gather around you!

Is this what this game was supposed to be? Diablo for Elden Ring fans? The worst mechanic in any game is instant kill attacks, and in the last 10% of his health, that's all he's got! What even is this nonsense? I'm sure I'll get a lot of hate by the game's fans, which is fine by me, but as a person who generally enjoyed the previous game, this one is unbelievably difficult in comparison with very little options in builds because of this insane difficulty.

It's luck. That's all it is until endgame with all the full skill tree and all the dumbest builds are available.

It’s not luck. Just keep moving. Admittedly it’s mind numbingly boring how repetitive and long these boss fights are. Took me 2 attempts on wolfy. If I’d have died a second time I’d probably not play again for a few days. I’d rather it be harder but take way way less time

The first boss alone is harder than any boss in PoE 1. That said, he's easy. They are all easy. People are just mad that they have to actually dodge mechanics in PoE 2. There are audio cue's for his attacks, learning those trivializes the fight.

Something a PoE 1 buddy of mine told me makes a lot of sense. PoE 2 is harder for PoE 1 vets than people new to PoE in general. People that lived and breathed PoE 1 are used to playing a Right Click simulator with sparkly effects to keep to brain happy. You hit the button, the screen dies. Rinse... repeat. PoE 2 just isn't like that and GGG is actively nuking builds that do just that. You can use a good build in PoE 2, but you as a player have to make it good, not the other way around (Which is how it worked in PoE 1. The build made a bad player good.)

It's not luck, you just have to pay attention and adapt accordingly.

Had a Ranger build that hit him 3 times with the snipe skill and he died. You're doing something wrong.

Beaten Geonor without difficulty on warrior, monk and minion INT build, all builds that people on the forums claimed are "impossible" to beat him with. Skill issue tbh.

Get lots of cold resist, then he's doable.

He's pretty easy with lots of cold resist

His darts are in sync with the end of each voice line as far as I can tell. Just dodge at the end of each and you should get hit less.

Been stuck on this fight for the last few days. Have all rare gear and spent 2 days trying to farm better gear and respec. Got a few more levels think I got up to 19 grinding for gear in a level 13 area so I didn't keep dying. Gave up and started an ice sorceress for now. If I can't get this character past the fight I'll be done with the game until them make it fun to play and not just a grind fest for try hards.

I almost raged and uninstalled this game happy I didn't but ya it can be very frustrating and I was a witch at the time. With this one I suggest grinding a bit more for gear if you can or get a friend to help you with the boss.

Also in cruel this boss was so much easier for me then first time around LOL but you'll get there, we all get it these bosses can be frustrating as hell at times.

Really gets to you if you make a comment and people just go git gud as if everyone is a god tier gamer.
