Minions take a shit ton of levels to be good. Any minion, really, outside maybe SRS. We're not going to see much from spectres until people are like gem lvl 25+. They're a bait at low level unless you're using like a support one with a heal or debuff.

It's a blood bath on Twitch. Even Mathil was losing his mind about how awful spears are to play

That's absolutely fucked if they did that. They minions early game need to do damage and be squishy OR take hits and do okayish damage. They went backwards on both. Fuck. I was losing my MIND during 0.1 trying to level as minions without minion nodes, and I'm doing it again right now and it's fucking rough. This is like, actual deletion of a build archetype.

I struggled quite a bit with 0.1 campaign but this is way worse. Feels like bosses need HP cut in half. Takes 10 minutes now to kill a mini boss.

Why do they have such hardon for making campaign hard? I'm a bad player but the "normie players" are way fucking worse players than me, doubt they find it much fun and give up at act 1.

Playing minions and in Act 2.

Died a good few times to the Hags in the 2nd zone because the fire aoe doesn't contrast the clearest with the ground. Died once to Count Geonor.

Seems fine, people are complaining because they suck.

No people are complaining because they don't find it fun. I don't die on bosses, my minions do fucking zero dmg and spend the most of the time despawned. Thats shitty tuning.

I can't even kill rare packs now in act 2 Valley of the Titans. And that is with some HP nerf patch applied.

It will probably be fine with more points assigned on the tree but the early game is just unfun.

I never thought I would say this because I love(d) the game but I am done for now. Beating my dick against the wall is not fun for me. What the fuck was wrong with 0.1 early game difficulty?

Back to making drugs in Schedule 1, I need to get my cocaine factory up and running!

Monk still feels fine even with the tempest bell nerf. Also surprised ES didn't get gutted the way Mana and all the skills did.

The biggest problem that I see is that monsters are too fast, hit way too fucking hard for a white mob. I don't need to feel like some Magic God at the start but a fucking wolf shouldnt bite off 80% hp.

Tried one more time fresh this morning. Way too fucking sweaty trying to get the Act 1 boss down. I'm so fucking slow and everything is so fast this is just no fun at all. I'm done. Deleting the character so I wont be tempted to try again. See you guys in LE in a couple weeks!

heh was watching gazzy this morning to see what spectre data he had. he suggested that the change to make yard trash have less hp (to go along with the less damage everything is doing) maybe wasn't implemented by accident.

This is difficult, but annoying and tedious.

This is kind of the frustrating part. forums/reddit/steamers are in revolt. they are correctly identifying a problem. But it does not seem to me they are anywhere close to suggesting good solutions. Seems mostly just, "get rid of this, give us zoomies"


yes, there are some correctly saying, "ok, you slowed us down, now for fucks sake, slow the monsters down too."

Guess I picked correctly with Merc. I've had zero issues, feel pretty powerful actually. That 2h dmg node fix made a world of difference.

Anyone playing strictly on Console? lol , I need to upgrade my computer before I even think about buying anything for new for the PC, I can always play those special Christmas Gift Steam Games I receive :) KRA KRA KRA KRA. I think it is about time for a damn upgrade on a desktop, my phone is more powerful.... But I have been playing on PS5, the controller isn't terrible.... suppose I have gotten used to it for the last couple of years, since my desktop does run off steam pressure from burning coal.... Fucking i-7! though!! lol KRA KRA KRA

I've just done Valley of the Titans, it's fine. Tweak your build.

I haven't played minions and not following a guide, what I'm doing will be suboptimal.

I'm just running Skeleton Warriors but put Minion Instability on them and got respawn speed passives. Sometimes I'll impale one for the buff.

Then I'm casting Fire Wall with Summon Raging Spirits and the passive that takes minion health to boost damage.

Sometimes i'll spawn some empowered Zombies after a ritual.

Gear is life/energy shield whatever. Was lucky to get a +1 minion helm from shop, got a great weapon from Sekhemas but literally just got it.

I will say that Sekhemas boss at lv22 was rough because of low DPS but doable, won't get benefit from Lich until the Chaos Trial as I think you need the mana regen node before the unholy node.

Enjoy Diablo 4 guys.
