Boss health in party is way, way too high

Right now the boss health scaling in 2 player party is so high that it is obviously easier to clear alone rather then in party

I'm leveling with a friend (we're both thousands of hours in PoE1) and we had multiple occasions in act 1 that we had to either:
A: split to be able to kill a difficult boss
B: get stronger even though we knew killing it solo was not a problem

right now it's our worst issue with PoE2, it feels pretty bad being punished for choosing to play with a friend, and to be clear, mobs are not overtuned, only boss health is way overtuned for early leveling.

100% agree. Unfortunately some people are so powerful and div rich they can pay for 5 people xo and gold to follow them for rarity. Broken system.

Now with bosses on EVERY MAP you have a 20 million hp boss EVERY single map.

A tier 2 pinnacle bosses health just to dink around with a friend on a 4 mod t15.

Solo they have 3-5 million.

Rares/blues/norms are still pretty trash ... but no, bosses EVERY map now.

This is in no way close to a fun coop experience unless you are swimming in divs or meta builds.

ok im gonna say something because this is literally the only way i play this game.

100% couch coop. like 1000 hours at this point. all leagues.


yes bosses have a shitload of health in coop play. uh but it's not that big of a deal you guys. like it's kind of fine. just make good builds. i'm not even using a meta build, nor is my partner. 15-20 million hp is fine.

i mean i wouldn't mind if they reduce the health but this is not a top priority for me, the guy who probably has the most coop time out of anyone.

The real problem in parties is the OP builds. Yes the one click killing builds that prevent any other weak build to feel and learn mechanisms experience during party fight. As long as DeVS keep these fancy boys make boss fights redicolous easy, Boss party health can't drop to right values.

Simply make a cap of damage to the Boss. And also make a cap of DOT to the Boss.
