the game is way to hard

the game is way to hard for most casual player and im not talking about understanding the game im talking about the actual difficulty of the game
for sure now we have nice amount of players and its dropping fast because casuals cant keep up whit the difficulty of the game
most people turn to the most op broken builds to play this game
what do u think will happened when nothing will be so OP like LS now ?
every weapon has 1 - 2 playable skills everything else goes into the trash bin
lightning damage still dominates in every aspect DEFENSES ARE Nonexistent
EVERY BUILD goes glass cannon because where is the point of building defense if u cant take a hit ?
ggg if its really ur "view" of the game that journey is not going to last for long
most players are casuals and play game for fun we r not some PRO PAYED gamer who play 24/7 for living maps should be fairly relaxing and not constant hit and run or u die and even then u die to some unknown crap like some corpse explosion or some flower exploding .
for the love of god do not make this game so hard thay people rage quit because they die to random crap all the time
buff the unused skills they suck so hard nobody uses them u can even see that on nina
one skills reaches to 3m dps and the other barely scratches 100k dps .
Fix Defenses in the game !

i understand the its Early Access, but please ggg start treating it like Early access buff the weak skills on the way nerf the broken skills its an early access not a fully released game!

edit :
REMOVE TEMPORAL CHAINS FROM THE MAPS
who the actual """ runs them ?

I am playing full armour stacking warrior with my own build. Am 94 SSF SC. Not a pro gamer.

Idk I think it's fine.

i leveled many characters and all of them stuck at lvl 97 because they die .
and i tryed building them real fat , still stuck at 97 .

I found your Deadeye. Yeah you have zero defenses.

I need to equip a bleed charm, I know, but I don't feel squishy at all in maps. I have to seriously mess up to die. I also just don't run temp chains or maps with bonus to monster speed.

You need more ES and you need to allocate Eternal Youth on the passive tree.

because i removed most of the defenses ?!
it made no difference if i have 85 eva+ 3k es or im running 75 eva whit 1.5 eva
zero difference !
still gets one shooted by random aoe stuff left and right still gets one shooted by bosses left and right even by regular crit attacks
so where is the point of building defense ?

And ur char is also at lvl 97 like mine .

One-shot boss mechanics would one-shot you even if you had like 9k ES. If you're not good at the boss fights, you need to try to get better.

I don't get one-shot in maps. The only monster types that do very high damage is the breach dude who fires splinters from his tentacles, the teleporting Delerium guy, and of course volatile plants. All the AOE stuff, all the charges, the slams, etc. do not one-shot me. And it's not like they just two-shot me. I have to get stunlocked and chilled and stuck in a corner to actually die.

Go back to your 3k ES setup and allocate Eternal Youth. Voila.

Been there yet got one shooted by jumping assassin's and god knows what.
I can't even tell what killed me in 90% of the time .
I do not understand their logic if I wanna build a tank character why it's not tanky?!
The answer is simple many Unavoidable damage that u just taking to the face from 99 kilometres away ... or some corpse explosions or lightning storms from.the sky or other things
They way us to have meaningful combat yet don't give us the tools to use !

Ok right. Again, none of those things one-shot me. Are we talking about the same game?

You can build a tanky character. There are builds that survive the boss one-shot attacks. You have to realize how greedy your build is. You have no health, no ES, no shield. I don't want to get into the tangent about game balance and all that, but I promise that you will not get one-shot by these attacks if you match my ES and run EY (and you pay attention to suffixes on waystones).

Just as another random point: since switching to Ritualist and using the rare monster ability stealing thing, you should also be wary of some rare monster modifiers. If I steal a modifier that increases damage in any way, my sheet DPS will sometimes DOUBLE. At least that surprised me.

Sorry, but the whole complain about one-shots in this game is bullshit. If it were that bad, people wouldn't be playing on HC with high level char. It is actually easier than poe1 if you know what you're doing.

Crazy to have multiple chars at 97, a level 99% of the playerbase won't reach regardless of "skill" as it's more an effort in masochism, and still having the audacity to claim the game is hard.


Getting above lvl 97 isn't hard, it's arduous. Don't conflate the two.
