I played Last Epoch for 1 week before the launch and IMO the game is very dractically more challenging and unforgiving in many ways.
Trash mobs in monoliths, dungeons, heck any place I’m in are one shotting my level 100 with over 2500 health and about 4k ward.
I’m also getting one shotted from mobs and enviromental damage such as a lightening storm strike or a sudden fireball with 0 warning or any animation. Mobs not even in los across the map charging or casting one shot abilites.
Sorry but I never experienced the number of one shot mechanics and difficulty of maps in beta and TBH I think its rather a black eye on this game releasing a very much different and bugged experience for release.
Also Julra T4 is bugged and killing me over and over again with void pools on the ground and my character is no where near it.
I think this is a great game with alot of potential but the focus I see right now is once agian catertng to players complaining and crying about their favorite class cannot do or perform as good as the current meta.
I’m not saying balance and fixing unitended bugs or overperforming things are not important, but once the nerf bat and the crying starts, and it has, the thing I’m talknig about never get fixed or looked at until your player base says not for me and its too late.
Please look at the mobs in moniliths one shotting out of los and Julra’s void pool mechanics T4.
Last note necromancer mage and wraith minions cast range were nerfed at launch or shortly after, but its ok for the game to kill me before I can even se them?
