Is it just me or has defense been nerfed since 8.1?

Hi guys.

I haven’t played for a while and just started again after 8.3. I decided to level again from 1 just to reacquaint myself with the game. So far I’ve just taken an Acolyte and Mage up to 20 or so and my early game defensive strategies from 8.1 (stack Physical and Void resists to start) don’t seem to be nearly as effective as they used to be. Unless I’m misremembering, I need to use pots much more than before.

Has mob damage been increased? Defense effectiveness decreased or is there a new defensive meta these days I’m not clued in to yet?

Leech has been nerfed, certainly, and the damage from mobs in monoltihs scales with corruption harder than they did. The patch notes will have all the info you need but I don’t remember them saying much about nerfing anything other than leech.

Some passives/etc even give more defence than they did.
