What are people talking about?

You don't need cold damage versus Jamanra. I killed her as huntress with the lightning spears that stick into the ground and triggering them with the delayed exploding fire spears. Once shocked I went near her and attacked her with the lightning-melee skill. I also occasionally parried her and generated + used the frenzy charge. The spawning mobs were cleared with whirl wind slash.

The kill speed felt really fast, meaning it felt like already skipping some of her mechanics. However I would note that I fully specced into damage in the passive tree. Resistances for fire and lightning were 20% and 0%. That is after I bought an item from shop to improve them. If thats too squishy for someone to survive, then one needs to farm, gamble or check the shop refresh after each level up.

Its an end of act boss, so I think its supposed to feel challenging. I personally found her a little too squishy / dying to quickly.

I keep hearing people say 'White mobs take FOREVER to kill!" But they....don't? Like it takes a couple of seconds guys calm down.

Yeah im pretty confused as well. I'm in a2 cruel currently, and everything has been pretty easy playing ed/contagion. People making claims of 200+ mobs coming at them at the same time, when the most i have seen on the screen at once is maybe like 30. People making claims that jamanra took them 40+ minutes per attempt, and i killed him on the very first try (which to be fair im not sure how, but with ~40% light res he just didn't hit that hard). I'm hearing similar stories from people playing bleed builds- very smooth gameplay, nothing terribly difficult yet, and then you come on here and people are saying bleed builds all suck.

It seems that a few of us lucky individuals actually downloaded a different patch, labelled "fun easy mode", while all the people crying managed to download the "ggg hates us and made the game too hard and tedious for me" patch

There you go, you play ED/Contagion. Try playing something else and we'll talk again.

Yup exactly like that. My experience until now matches in NOTHING the rants. I had an EASIER league start than the previous one. Did only one act.. but did not die a single time and took less time than my first playtrough in previous league.

It’s almost as if GGG made it so you get better drops now that their player numbers have tanked.

I find it hard to believe anyone in SSF is having an easy time unless they are exploiting a bugged interaction or GGG turned up item drop quality so you don’t quit.

Wait till you reach end game. Most people complaining tier 1 map white mobs can nearly 1 shot and take forever to kill.

Don’t worry, after 10,000 hours maybe you can do tier 8 maps unless you find some bug to abuse until it’s patched.

Also fun fact, it doesn’t have to be a bug, if you make a build that does too much dps it’s getting nerfed. They made their point clear.

Who wants to dedicate weeks to theory crafting, weeks to leveling, months to getting gear, only to get nerfed anyway?

I will not make statements about the endgame until I get there. My whole argumentation was a POV of starting a new character in this league, without ANY help from your stash or anyone else.

I accept that maybe in endgame things must change.. but people have been hating in generic ways saying NOTHING is playable and clearly by my experience that is false, since the campaign feel great (and, personal take, I care more forthe journey than the destination)

Also.. if your goal is to min max a character and get the power alone without a focus on the journey to get there, sorry but probably EA is not for you. You should then very likely wait for the full release when changes will be smaller.

I do not care at all if they nerf to oblivion my characters, because I am always going to start anew... and experience the journey anew.

Honestly, you shouldn't make statements at all until you get there. At least not those representing some understanding of the game.There are people who have spent 1000 hours building what you are acting like wasn't destroyed. AND destroyed with no warning and no need.

This is just psychological manipulation of the group think cult this game has. They'll do something now, but they don't have to fully do what they need and the army of group thinkers will step in to do the rest on the forums.
