Path of Exile 2 update
We finished normal difficulty last night. The Act 3 boss wasn't too bad. However, you always have a pre-boss as a sort of gear/dps check. The pre-boss for Act 3 is Viper Napuatzi, who is actually much harder. In co-op she's just too overtuned, so we each had to kill her separately. ILA got her before I did.
The problem with Napuatzi is that she's a chaos/poison boss, and she comes at a time when you have very little to no chaos resistance. I had about 31% res after re-gearing, but I lost 10% movement speed and other resistances. Of course she also uses the elements I lost res for, and 31% is useless in that fight. In the end, I dumped the chaos gear and went back to what I had been wearing. I just had to learn the fight and I was okay.
All of this could be obviated with enough dps, and I never have enough dps. Unless you get really lucky with drops, boss fights boil down to outlasting the bosses. It's a good game, but it's nerve-wracking.
