Path of Exile 2 Act 2 Final Boss Fight!

[@Tensa_Jedi]

in an interview, johnathan mentioned on the change to allow your normal attack to be supported by supp. gems made it so that some playtesters just used auto attack cus its zero mana, and how they were killing boss with just the auto attack. I believe he said theyve already changed it so that the use of more gem that combine/ interact with each other is the most optimal way to get high dmg.

It seems they are trying to solve this issue with the most recent PoE 2 flasks rework, now we can only equip 2 flasks, one for life and one for mana.

The only thing i like about this fight is the music

[@sinoccence5076]

Really looking forward to this game but i really wish auto attacks on bosses was either scrapped or reworked to be more interesting or scarce, this build doesnt do the fight justice

[@JohnnyWM3]

five life flasks ?

[@VincePoE-uu1qh]

weird fight lets be honest. weird gameplay from warrior too, no idea what he's was trying to do whole fight. edit: apparently its NDA content so it could be still under development and warrior could be testing something, sick transition though.

[@Onimirare]

he couldn't use a lot of skills because he had no mana leech or mana flasks, but he was correctly using armour break and a warcry to boost his auto-attack considering how boss fights are balanced, 5 life flasks seems like a legit valid strategy

[@VincePoE-uu1qh]

@@Onimirare makes sense, hella tank though.

[@ThePepe969]

It's just the guy not playing properly. We've seen many footage of the warrior doing various abilities. This person was essentially spamming normal attack lol

[@Onimirare]

​@@ThePepe969 and yet most of the other warriors were dying during boss fights for lack of sustain, including Jonathan. If GGG already said boss fights are balanced around flask charges, having 5 life flasks makes sense, don't you think?

Stun build up looked bugged. Saw a few hits heal the stun bar (by a lot) instead of progress it.

[@LovelyCooK]

idk bro this looks extremely boring

[@ThePepe969]

It's ok to not play. Play games you enjoy :)

Player was basically only using armor break strike and default attack the whole time even when there was plenty of mana. Also seemed like he was equipped with an exceptionally slow mace and with 0 attack speed. That Rolling Slam at 0:17 was so slow I thought he was chilled. Also interrupted most of his rolling slams after the first hit, which is only around 30% of the damage(did 2250 first hit, 2nd was 4919) while paying mana for half the skill. Not a single Earthshatter despite having Fist of War support on it. Really just seemed like someone testing something specific or someone that had no idea how to play with their skills. I do think that first phase could use some polish, enemy didn't feel very threatening. Stun bar progress bugs. No idea how old this gameplay actually is though. Given the boss name is in English this probably isn't from any of the recent demo events(BGS/TGS). And this channel seems to scrape and repost a lot of stuff. Edit: It does have the damage numbers added since after the couch co-op event, so it's not super old.
