I´ve seen Streamer that one shots uber Duriel. I don´t even try it I will get one shot and It will take 30 min to kill him. Play 30 min to make zero mistakes. Even 1 Toe in Poisen is one shot ( I use Poisen Flask to boost Poisen Resist).
I can´t get higher then 30 Pit. Every mistake is a ones shot death. I´ve spent so much in Def.
I play right now Double Swing Dust Devil Build.
I mean I have:
+1027% Dust Devil Damage
+466% Vulnerable Damage
+345% Crit Damage
+205% Berserk Damage
I have 31k HP + Fortify so around with full Fortify 62k HP still One Shot.
I don´t know how to boost my Damage. There is nothing more I can do. Only Upgrade with the Pit but I can´t go higher. Everything One Shots me. I can´t lose more Damage. I need that Damage.
I´ve never seen a Mythic Unique but I don´t think they will boost me that high to one shot uber Duriel.
My Necro is a Glass Canon. One Mistake one hit boom dead. I can´t react in 0.0001 Sec. I have Armour Cap and Resist Cap still One shots me. I tried Blood Minion Build to boost Fortify but Still Glass Canon.

As for dmg, you might want to try and shift some dmg from Dust Devil to Beserk and/or Crit Strike dmg. And try to find some good GA and reroll masterworking for good boosts.
My Barrage Rogue has no fortify, 22k-ish health (resist capped and armor capped) and isn’t even one-shotted in pit 60 (well, sometimes ofc, but that happens if you stand still too long 
), so I guess there’s something wrong. Maybe you’re not resist capped yet?
As for dmg, some classes/builds are better. Also, do not underestimate the impact that good gear with ideal stats, great GA roles, masterworking upgrades etc. has. It really can make a big difference.
blizzard seems to be on point with the tuning again
you might wanna find some affixes like “%reduce damage taken” or something like that

if you’re max resist, it’s no use in usinga poison resist bottle.
resitances are capped at 70% and armor at like 11K.
Problem is that our damage scales, but our health and resitances are all capped and don’t scale.
So unless you’re a streamer with unlimited time on your hands, able to farm all teh unique items to get that specific one shot build.
Don’t expect to do any tormented bosses, unless maybe you use a broken build.
For example:
I’m running lvl 100 rend rupture barb, all glyhphs upgraded, masterworked to lvl 4-8. Max resistances except for shadow which sits at 60%.
3 unique items with max rolls or almost max rolls and with greater affixxes.
And i couldn’t even do tormented andariel (the tormented boss with the least HP i recall), because there are just too many AOE attacks. Which means getting hit twice means you’ll be instakilled the 3rd time.

those affixes don’t exist lol.
I´ve check a video he had the same Build like me just better unique that makes the difference.
There are Unique Legs that buffs my Call of the Ancients together with the unique Boots. I can make it around to +800% Ultimate Damage Buff. Not Sure if the Ultimate also boosts Codex Power that spawns an Ancient during Whirlwind. Also with the unique I can reduce the CD form Call of the Ancients.
That will be a game Changer for me. But hey no streamer Bonus.
I killed today around 50 Bosses (level 100) There is no way to kill a uber boss with my build. I killed today 11 Times Level 100 Duriel. Only useless uniques. I heard Lord Zir has the Drop rate but I don´t have any mats to summon him.
I guess I don´t have any Streamer luck.
I might give up this season it´s just a Joke.
Just saw a Stream today a Level 95 is in a Level 150 Nightmare Dungeon.
Yes this is a big issue for any homebuild, and has always been an issue in D2/3/4 either you run “popular broken build ex copy past skills and paragons” or you fail
Despite their efforts too “boost” uniques and such. the “pretend to be awesome stats in paragons are simply misleading and confusing unless you are a theory crafter” which alot arent, we just play to have fun, but when reaching lvl 100… fun stops, and nothing is done because people then moan about it will be too easy.
its a merry go round the same shit as in every season
play broken builds copy paste or fail. 
but since we dont stream, and even if we did, we have to be real popular until blizzard does something.
My same “cents” as last season.

I think the problem in the Pit is to get the Debuff form Uber Level 200 Bosses. I can´t dodge every ability. First of all I´m melee and there a lot of Dust Devil. I can´t react to everything and dodge everything that is BS.
There should be an option if u make 2 mistakes you can leave there is no way to finish the Boss the next hit will be one shot. I mean I have almost 70k HP with Fortified still one shots me. I´m really close to Armour cap. I made sure I have a lot of HP because of melee. I also have over 2k Strength and my DPS still sucks.
I use the 2 Dodge Legys I guess they Help a bit. My Necro has no Dodge and is a Glass Cannon.
Well I will only play the new Class and that´s it for me with Diablo 4. I mean if they can´t fix the Game.
Edit:
I switched some Gear got all the Resist and Amour Cap and it´s worse now. Can´t finish a Level 30 Pit anymore. I just spam Heal and get one shot again. It´s a complete BS.
I´m Done with Season 5

I was searching for a post like this, to check for suggestions or other things, but I understand clearly that at some point in endgame, only thing you can do is to rage and quit due to senseless one-shots event with good geared and skilled characters.
I mean, 76k bash barbarian build here (I reach also 92k with 20% health potion, but nothing changes, even if I try also with some paragon and equip tweaks, trying to reach 120k health…), all resistance capped plus armor, 100k damage… and I still see, from level 71 pit above, that a lot of fights with bosses have become completely undoable due to multiple boss skills doing senselsss one shots.
Not one skill only, I’ll made it clear for yor: multiple skills!
To better clarify: I’m 100% into skills doing a lot of damage, forcing you to play carefully and more, for example forcing you to mind about gear and build respec to be able to beat some fights, it’s a good part of the game, I love it… but a lot of damage doesn’t mean ONE SHOT, the point here is that I’m wining specifically at the one shots, they are not funny, they will never be and they make the game feel completely bad and frustrating.
It’s an objective fact not an opynion.

make sure to run these aspects as they keep you well shielded (deflecting barrier,juggernauts,coldbringer,protector and dominion) those will help alot and forget the point in strength and willpower, just intell and dex those matter for a necro, just test it.
Well
I changed the Legs to my Resist Unique. I had over 70% Resist still spaming my Heal in a Level 25 Pit. The Game is a Joke. So I´m over the Cap and I´m still weak. I have now 71.5% Lightning Reist and still Spam Heal against a Lightning Elite. (Not Using Lightning Resist Flask)
There is no Damage Problem to go Higher in The Pit but I won´t survive it. If I have spam Heal in a Level 25 Pit even with the Resist Caps.
What I’ve noticed is that it’s a trade off. Dmg happens fast and a lot with multiple mobs around. What may seem like a one-shot sometimes is, sometimes is just several hits in a tiny window. So we must kill as fast as possible. There’s not enough tankiness to just tank&spank, there’s only “let them die quicker than you”. So we need to hit the caps (70% resist, 9.2k armor) and everything else must focus on dmg, dmg, dmg. If you kill them quickly, they can’t kill you.
There’s not point in stacking a lot of health over dmg if possible (as said, my Barrage rogue has roughly 24k atm and runs T60 pit easily enough), nor is there a reason to stack armor or resist over the cap. You must have the caps for sure, but once reached focus on dmg exclusively, and then on the stats that matter to your build. As well as mobility.
For the Double Swing Dust Devil iirc that’s mostly: dmg while beserking and crit strike dmg, the latter being the more important one. Also, having +skill is always good for more dmg.
Not sure if you’re following a build guide, but keep in mind that with every build it’s very gear dependant, so YMMV. Theorycrafting or builds relying on specific gear often works as advertised when exactly as advertised with GA’s etc. My (N=1, stranger on the internet just sharing his perception ) rule of thumb:
- Die to often even though you kill fast? Get a bit more health, CD on defensive skill, check caps.
- Die too often due to mobs getting in (multiple) hits, aka killing too slow? Get more dmg.
In my personal experience, it’s better to get more dmg to kill faster than try and survive long enough to tank them to kill em. Did a DSDD barb in S4, that was in essence run in,shout/wrath, double swing, evade out, next pack. Never ever stand still. Granted, just did it till pit 50 (was pushing with a different char), but had some fun with it. Again, just my observations 
I don´t understand the Stats in the Game.
Streamer has a Necro with 1k Int. I have 2k Strength and deal Less Damage. My Dust Devils Deal +1027% Damage. And the Necro still deals more Damage.
I don´t understand the Gear Score. I have a 855 GS Weapon and it´s better than a 925 GS. I was lucky with Tempering. The Weapon has 210% Dust Devil Damage 272 Strength.
I play World of Warcraft. Higher GS = More Damage Higher Stats. As Warrior is Strength the best Stat. Higher Gear Score is Higher Stats. Strength gives u more Attack Power. The Abilities deal more Damage with more Attack Power.
Simple Higher Gear Score = More Damage and More HP. That means Higher Gear Score means higher Content in Myhtic + and Raids.
I just don´t understand Diablo 4.
Dmg scales and works very different from WoW. It’s more like WoW in the time of TBC, with various stats coming into play. In the case of D4, there is a lot of stuff going on, but mostly it’s not “one stat is best”, but “a combination of multipliers is best”. There’s a real in depth post on damage in the discord channel, here: https://discord.com/channels/989899054815281243/1213607031169224714
In general, try to find modifiers, not just plain stat. E.g. for DSDD it’s better to have more dust devils and bigger dust devils than dust devil damage as tempers.
Skim over the linked discord post to see the interaction of stats and why they matter. No need to do a full in depth read, but it’ll help. E.g. I reckon if you drop dust devil damage in favor of more/bigger DD’s and crit % + crit dmg stats/tempers, you’ll shoot up in damage. It’s a hard guess ofc, but I think that’ll help.
Crit Damage: +350%
Crit Rate: 21%
Vulnerable Damage: +460%
Berserk Damage : +285%
They are always Vulnerable and Berserk all the Time.
How much more do I need?
reduce crit damage and up your crit chance, under 60% i don’t feel like it’s worth investing anything in it
For one look at your damage on items, paragon and look on this tiny mark beside damage. Its [+] or [ x ] . + damage just adds to the pile for example 50% + 50% = 100% while 5%[ x ] multiplies all + dmg giving humongous damage spikes. Next take locran amu with max 40% crit chance on full resource and drop all crit on items and switch for tanky stats (locran + dex should give you above 50%). Also take resource per second and try to temper it. I have 30 added per second from tempered items now and with constant berserk on aug ( 40 resource to berserk for -2 resource per sec) . Always try to have any source of flat damage reduction on anything, it helps immensely. More damage buckets with [ x ] means more damage multipliers that your [+] go trough giving it huge damage boost.

I don´t know. You can see every Stat in the Stats & Material Screen.
I´ve seen a stream. Infernal Horde Level 8 insane Damage always 100% Mana always 100% HP. He is not even using Healing Flask no worry in the World. What is wrong with that Game.
The other Stream 7 trillion Damage with one Single Hit. Is there a uber unique with a 1 trillion Damage Buff?
I have 70k HP the next 0.00001 Sec I have Zero HP. I can´t go higher then Infernal Horde Level 4. I can´t beat the Pit Level 25 because everything is one shot. I have the Damage but every Hit is a one shot.
Nope they know how to build their character and have great gear. Simple
