Congrats I guess? You used a primal item to get what most builds already had. Yey.
Everything is overtuned, as mentioned above.
Most finished builds have. Can you tell me how your sarcastic remark contributed to the discussion?
No, most leveling builds have.
There is no discussion. EHG confirmed thereās an issue, now we wait.
I agree his build has problems/deficiences. I also will point out fixing those build problems wonāt solve anything. Okay maybe it will make general gameplay better but it wonāt stop being 1 shot or spike damage.
With that said I did isolate one damage spike and sent the bug report image to EHG from the Great Fireball of Archpheonix Sorizon. Got crit for 3284 complete 1 shot in only 148 corruption. In fact think all Great fireballs from pheonix are the sources of doing 10x damage.
My fire 1 shot EHP is over 11k and just obliterated by this attack, it should be doing about 300 damage in 148 corruption not 3,000.
Honestly if my HP goes below 70% in 148 corruption Iām offended and feel like my build is weak but this season Iām just getting 1 tapped randomly and forced to run for my life because who knows what attack is a 1 shot.
Just completely unfun and there is also an entire Reddit thread on 1 shots and spike damage.
EHG better never ever ever release another Season without a full month of eternal testing just please release a polished patch like last Season please and thanks.
I might be outta here this Friday and ready for PoE if EHG canāt start rolling out Hotfixes on the damage spikes. Itās a shame the great changes EHG did are completely overshadowed by unplayable unfun gameplay.
You are either completely delusional or just a silly troll. People start doing monos around level 55-60. Fresh characters do not have exalted gear at the moment and cannot buy it on the market because they have a very low faction level. Also, not everyone chooses the merchant guild. Having 800 HP and uncapped resistances at level 60 is normal; itās not an exception. If youāre regularly getting one-shot with this gear, itās an issue with game mechanics, not your build. Moreover if you have a decent gear. Most of your replies are utterly stupid and can be summarized as āgit gud!ā
Holy shit, my first one-shot was at level 11 from a random area boss that was throwing pools of lightning zapping around at supersonic speed. This boss was unkillable because those pools dealt twice as much damage as my HP just by touching them. I see, I just needed to stack more HP at level 11. Sure, it works just like that. Omfg, it always amazes me how delusional people find ways to justify any complete shit with no particular reason and present it as some kind of revelation.

No dude. Thatās a bad build 
You should have capped resistances around chapter 7-8 of the campaign, and either have Ward generation or health affixes and regen, leech or some healing spell. Iām dead serious.
You can literally hop between cities and buy vendor gear to fix your build, Iāve tested it.
Very silly troll attempt.
When someone tells you that your level 55-60 character has weak defenses, it means weāre talking about your level 55-60. Not about level 11.
If you apply his advice for lvl 55-60 to a level 11 situation, then youāre the delusional guy.
Also, how do you think everyone else progresses through the game when monsters deal insane damage? Thatās right, they āgit gudā and donāt step in the pools.

I have a fairly tank build with 3k hp, around 4k armour, 30%Dr from aspect of the boar, 27% damage redirected to minions, 1200/60% endurance and capped res and 2.3k hp regen.
I can face tank abberoths big slam but a 350c harbinger can 1shot me on a none crit.
Hopefully they roll out this fix sooner rather than later, otherwise Iāve been enjoying the new patch.

Absolutely, but when the devs unfuck the bug, his build is still going to be murdered by anything & everything in monos. The bug needs to be fixed to make everybody not be oneshot, his build needs to be fixed to make his character not be oneshot.
Fair.
Crafting is also a thing to help shore up oneās defences.
I think I encountered that champion right in front of the worm boss that sends you to the ancient era for the first time. He did hurt & I did have to run away a few times, but he didnāt come anywhere close to oneshoting me. My lvl 21 shaman has 62% of the health your lvl 64 spellblade & the same armour mitigation, you can absolutely build more defensively. I will ageee that at that level you shouldnāt really need to (& never did). But yeah, for monos your characterās defences are way too low
Sorry, was I not fawning & stroking your ego enough? You donāt need to āgit gudā, your build, however, is massively lacking in defences & is one of the 2 reasons your character is getting killed and no amount of bug fixes will change that. You also appear to be ignoring my agreement/acceptance that thereās a bug thatās causing mobs to do way too much damage.
When the bug is fixed, what are you going to do when you keep on getting killed?
To re-iterate, Iām not diminishing the effect of the bug that the devs have commented about & are fixing (asap hopefully), but even when thatās done, your build has paper thin defences & itāll get nuked bug or no bug.
What was the point of the change? People donāt play LE for āthe challengeā. They play it for blasting and cool new systems. This patch didnāt cater to their audience at all. And this increase in damage across the board did whatā¦counter the power creep from primal content?
You know what would have been fun? Getting deeper than I did last season. Instead I get hit with frustrating 1-shots because of a bug caused by a dumb design change that shouldnāt have happened in the first place. Also EHG - if you donāt want to have folks play before you release because they post day-1 guides that āruin the funā then hire people who play the game to test this patch for you.
I havenāt played PoE2 since February and I had no plans on breaking from LE to play 0.3. But this crap didnāt even begin scratching my ARPG itch so now I need to find an alternate solution.

I can barely wait til Friday and my original plan was to spend some weeks in LE until I got my fill before checking 0.3. I still remember the flustercuck of 0.2.

This is extremely important.
It did not.
Yea in my 1800 hours played this is the least fun I ever had playing this game since early access. Totally not what Iām looking for from LE and despite having cool build ideas when I log in the gameplay is so unfun I want to log back out.
Now you have to build tanky and itās still not enough so build diversity went way way down this season too. Iād love to have last season back it was a great time.
My current endurance threshold stacking pally now has 4.1k HP and over 2200 endurance theshold and still gets dumpstered. I havenāt even pushed corruption and question if to even bother or if the season can be salvaged.
Itās just weird to be playing a Tanky build with a shield and see weak random mobs obliterate you for 80% of it. Total head scratcher.
Yea I was so ready to play this season for 2 months creating tons of builds for the community but itās really hard to stomach. Think iāll just vote with my time and wallet and play PoE 2 this friday. I was so ready to blast in LE and so pumped from last season. Very disappointing.
Last season Iāve created a super fun (for me) yet not cheap build (melee GS+TS Beastmaster using the Storm Breaker unique 2H mace) (which I farmed with blood and tears myself as I play CoF) which could do Abby in under 4 mins and clear 600 Corr maps (and harbingers).
Now I get 1-shotted by Harbingers on 400 Corr. They certainly did smth to the numbers and it really pisses me off.
And itās not that my character is squishy - I have over 50% armor, res capped, layers upon layers upon layers of defenses from BM/Primalist passives, 4k HP, a ton of health leech, Titan Heart, RED GODDAM RING!
But now I get 1shots with 4-5k hits from harbingers, whos hits a was tanking at ease (well, not at ease, but they left me with around 10% HP).
