Same game, very different experiences

I started playing LE about 2-3 months ahead of the 1.0 release, focusing primarily on a fire based warpath paladin. Super fun, enjoyed the game, and the progression through the content always felt smooth and achieveable.

I’ve now started some new cycle characters, and thought i would re-create the paladin again. However, my luck with gear drops has been terrible, and I’m now reaching a similar place I got to with my legacy character, but its been much more of a slog to get there.

So I changed tack, and started a bowmaster build, but have felt a very similar feeling to the paladin, so much so that in order for the rogue to finish the campaign boss, means I’ll need to fight her for 10-15 minutes, with almost no mistakes, which is a tough ask. (Because the gear is poor)

So I then started a third character, playing a runemaster, and OMG, I’m back to the old paladin experience, tearing through the content again… My DPS is nearing that of both the other characters, at half their level so far…
