I’m playing a Twister Barb, LVL 100, all runes 21, masterworked gear 8+.
I can clear a LVL 70 Pit up to the boss in 1 to 1.5minutes, but the boss just oneshots the shit out of you for no reason. Who even came up with this balance where bosses ignore any kind of DR?
I have a GA Shako, multiple DR gears, DR Shout up, Fortify, Armor + Resistance Cap, 55000+ Life and get just get blasted harder than any of the Fenrir D4 Crashes combined.
Why are the summoned boss attacks so horribly telepgraphed? Why do Bosses ignore DR? Why do some builds still oneshot and are the only viable pushing builds because they hit for billions oneshotting 150+ pit bosses.
Fix your game.

This is the thing that disappoints me most this season

You could use iron skin aspect on the amulet for additional 53 DR on the one-shot phases
To be fair, it’s worth noting that this is the season of remaking of loot/gear. Nobody talked about balance :)) For example, now ye can safely clear a nightmare dungeon with monsters 20 levels higher than ye. I think the balance will be dealt with later.
The only time Blizz cared about balance the players went crazy because they had to nerf the crap out of classees. Now we are at D3 again.

like no joke this is ridiculous.
Got to level 42 pit on whirlwind barb and dying in 1 hit now. Got poisoned by spiders and literally drink all 9 potions and still dying to poison lmfao. This supposed to be playtested or something?
Game was good but this is just dumb. I don’t want to have to datamine every single stat of my character just to play the game to endgame casually.
Ain’t no way this was playtested unless we’re not supposed to be able to solo this or maybe designed for ranged-classes only? I don’t get it.

I’m using that. I have the Shaco DR, some unique DRs, Challenging Shout DR, Iron Skin DR. I already gave up a lot of Damage to take all the DR I can find, but even then you randomly get oneshotted at 70+ with the stats above.
I get that it should be harder content and I’m not saying that it’s impossible to kill the boss, but if you clear the pit so fast then you shouldn’t get obliterated by the boss at such a level. The balance is just off.
Just build some defense. I have 30k hp, 28k barrier with 100% uptime, and 40% dr, and am doing pit level 75 comfortably and can tank boss hits.
I can do PIT 60 in a few minutes but when I get to the final boss (or bosses) I just can’t deal with the things moving on the ground, the shooting, and all that stuff. Maybe I am stupid, maybe I’m a really bad player, but I can’t. No matter how much DR or HP I got, I can’t deal with all those things happening at the same time.
Or they reduce the damage of the shadow bosses or I just quit the game.

It doesn’t matter how much life, armor, resistance or any other damage reducing items you have.
Once you get 3 debuffs from the Shadow boss, you get one-shotted.
Very bad mechanism design.
