game's easy
The funny thing is, a lot of the people replying that are saying it's easy are the best players on the entire server.
It may be easy for you guys, but there are a lot of people who are struggling far more than you guys could ever imagine.
I consider myself a very good player, and I'm finding this to be extremely hard, even though I'm a pretty decent player.
I know a lot of people who currently play Annihilus who are even worse than I am, so just imagine how they feel.
Having the difficulty this hard is like saying, "be the best of the best or you'll always lose", there is no in between.
I often wonder if all the effort I put in on this server is even worth it, and the answer is obviously no.
Everyday I try to make my characters better somehow, in someway, and nothing ever changes.
So why keep trying, why play here, why make myself more angry at myself and this game.
There's no reason for me to blame myself for not being able to survive this added content.
Because there is no way to survive it, because it was made to be too hard, it's not enjoyable.
If you guys enjoy doing grueling repetitive tasks over and over, go for it, I for one am done wasting my time.
I just don't think any of these people can really help me in the way I want though.
If I cant have a character that doesn't ever die and can actually kill everything I'll never be happy.
It's just what I'm used to having, I'm not used to Diablo 2 being as hard as this is.
I can't see any way for either of my characters to get any better really.
Here's what my paladin has.
I have 2800 Life after BO which is low, but even with Barb BO and Druid Oak Sage, I stil get owned with 7000+ Life.
Max Block
Max DR
Resists all higher than they should have to be.
And plenty of everything else that shouldn't make or break the character.
I do around 800-105k Zeal.
My defense and attack rating are very low, but even more defense wouldn't save me.
And more attack rating wouldn't help much either, because zeal just misses no matter what.
I've played a zealer for years and they just miss, that's their thing, but I've never had a problem dying before.
Thunderfury Sword
Dream Helmet
Elder Of Tristram Armor
Corrupted Stormshield
Neph Amulet
2 Constricting Rings
Scourgelords Belt
Death's Advance Boots
Dracs for Lifetap, Hysteria for Life Steal, neither seem to keep me alive.
And Call To Arms and Spirit on switch.
Max Zeal
Max Lightning Resist
Max Salvation
Level 25 Conviction
As much into Holy Shield as possible after that and 1 into anything else I wanted or needed.
I have around 10 Arcane Essence Small Charms
Paladin Torch
And Annihilus with +3 Zeal
Also the Eye Small Charm
I can kill dreamlands, but they all kill me in 1-3 shots, depending on which one I'm fighting.
And surviving or regaining my life isn't really an option.
Kaalut is the same deal, and the enemies surrounding Kaalut can kill me even faster if I don't kill them 1 by 1.
Inferno Cows take forever for me to kill and if I stop attacking for even 1 second when I get surrounded it's game over.
Act 5 Red Portals, I die instantly and stand no chance, I could kill them all if I didn't die the second I walked in.
Act 3 Swampy Pit, I pretty much die instantly when hit by anything in there, but have no problem killing like usual.
Plaguelands all the little zombies swarm me and kill me faster than I can gain life back, feels like I die instantly.
Lich King 1 shots pretty much everyone ever with his sindragosa attack.
Crucible Bosses own me also.
And I'm sure if I tried any of the other added bosses I'd also die, but I don't even bother trying them because I know I'll just die.
I just find it stupid that the difficulty is set to "Nearly Impossible" on every single added area.
