u4gm What Blackjaw Teaches About PoE 2 Fight Control
I nearly skipped Blackjaw, The Remnant the first time I wandered through Jiquani's Machinarium. Big mistake. The fight flips a switch in how Path of Exile 2 wants you to play, and if you're already thinking about efficiency or a PoE 2 currency farm route, this is still worth your time because it teaches a habit that pays off everywhere: don't rely on soaking hits. You can't. You've got to move with purpose, stay calm, and keep the rhythm even when the room feels hostile. Don't Play Keep-Away The instinct is to run. Lots of players do it. They kite to the edge, try to "reset" the fight, and hope the boss misses. With Blackjaw, that's the trap. Backing off gives him cleaner lines for gap-closers and makes your dodges longer and sloppier. The safer approach is staying close, almost uncomfortably close, and circling like you're glued to his hip. Keep your camera steady, keep your feet moving, and don't let him decide where the fight happens...
