Abyssal is not Worth the Time at End Game

Ill keep this super short:

1 - Abyssal Lords are unbalanced AF. Too many mods, too many of them, too annoying to kill

2 - 1 life for the ENTIRE pit dungeon is not worth the time. Why are there checkpoints if its small and if you die, youre booted?

3 - You cant defend against their spike damage unless you have Extra Armor or ES or something else

4 - The drops are boring over the long haul

5 - Abyss is on EVERY map at end game, its not special anymore to experience and just frustrates trying to complete the map

6 - The really good loot drops ONCE and never again

Its fine, but its unbalanced as is and needs major adjustments to not make it skippable.

Fighting a legion of just Abyss Lords legit makes me want to uninstall.
Every Abyss Lord is worse than a map boss x5.

League mechanics will always appear on each section during acts and on every map you run. That's how it's always been done in PoE 1 and they intend to keep that tradition in PoE 2 as well.

If you don't want that, go play Standard.

Also, if you have trouble beating abysses, work on your build and your skills. It is a relatively easy league mechanic compared to what we had in PoE 1 sometimes...

I gained minimum 150 divines from only abyss drops this league. I'm not even playing a meta build and still beating them easily. If they don't integrate it to the base game I'll be so pissed.

Are you playing Melee or Ranged / Caster?

It doesn't matter. Every single skill/archetype is viable in poe2 currently, because it is tuned around very mediocre loot. Good gear trivialises everything, great gear 1shots t3 pinnacles.

Abyss is somewhat challenging when you first step into the endgame and don't have skill levels/quality and/or enough of +skills on your gear.
Both are piss easy to acquire even in SSF, let alone with trading.

If you have a functional + geared build and you're still struggling - quit now and go play something that's more at your speed, because there is no helping you.

Well this has been a riveting discussion with a troglodyte, so I'll let you get back to figuring out why the square peg doesn't go into the circle hole. I wish you well on your endeavors.

Also, it does matter if you're playing Ranged or Melee because the options available from a game-play standpoint are wildly different. But again, I can see you're having struggles in other areas of problem-solving and task comprehension, so I'll leave you to it.

Good Gear shouldn't be the solve for Lacking Gameplay
