We finally beat Act 1 in Path of Exile 2. It took us at least 20 tries and leveling up to 20 before we could last until the end of the fight. He didn't even drop anything we could use bleh, but glad we don't have to roam the manor anymore with the deadly blood pools.

It's chaotic with 2 players on the screen, I can't imagine how you keep track of anything in a 6 player party lol. But I guess at least then it should be easier (possible) to revive people in combat as with 2 players there's about a 5% chance you can get lucky enough to finish reviving between attacks.

The next area was very easy, including the bosses, I guess we out leveled that already to beat Act 1 :/ On to the caravan to the East. I hope the Act 2 boss will not require so much grinding! We've spend 18 hours on the game already for Act 1.

I got bad news for you... :P Act II boss is considered the hardest of the three main bosses.

I started a Sorceress with Spark build, but it's not really any fun in the beginning. I'm only level 18 or so on her, and hoping the build will pick up soon. I rolled a Witch today, went for a summoner/elementalist build, using skeletons and Rage Spirits, Firewall serves as the summoning pool for Spirits, and also supercharges the attacks of my skeletons. It's insane for clearing, and bosses die very quickly. I have died a few times though, almost always when my summons die during a boss fight and I'm left all squishy and without any DPS to speak of.

My Monk is level 66 now, nearing the end of Act III on Cruel; so far it's been very easy, even with shit gear. Frost builds with Charged Staff and Bell shenanigans are great fun, and insane on damage. With the monk, I've killed all Act main bosses on the first try, both on Normal and on Cruel - the damage blitz is just too much and some die within 5-10 seconds.

I'm going to try a Ranger as well, but not this week. Probably a simple Lightning build to begin with. I deleted my Warrior, he was more or less bricked and had poor gear and way too poor damage (my Monk out-damaged him at half the level at one point).
