Hi
It seems to me that pit bosses are now way overpowered, I could take a lev 80 before the new expansion, now I can’t even kill a level 50

Same issue here, I read the patch notes twice and didnt find any info about it. Also no info about some drastic nerfs for the rapid fire rogue I play, yet I cant push what I was pushing two days ago.

there were some balance changes, deep down in the patch notes. Seems like they didn’t test this properly, because now, instead of players oneshotting the bosses (which is what they wanted to fix), the bosses oneshot the players (which is a terrible mechanic). I expect this will be adjusted again, because right now, this change makes it super grindy to masterwork your gear.

we are 1,5 day in… isn’t it just that you dont have perefect rolled greater affixes with nice tempers, no sigils on lvl21, perfect afixes etc?
The patch notes state that bosses have been reduced in power. I assume this was meant for pit bosses too. It is however absolutely not the case! I was doing 86 pits with rare deaths before patch and now its 70-76 with a lot more effort and death a common occurence.
So please fix what you broke asap, blizzard.

I reached my peak with current gear at 69 (so 70 now an option but was tough boss so went back for SAFE,abd faster neathiron at 62 and 63). Since S5 I had to change build but can do T100 NM and NOW struggle on T50 Pit ONLY on boss. Instant death 3 times from full health. I think the game took pity on me the last time. But got no reward as 3 deaths were so slow I timed out. Them one-hit death.
I was doing Pit 62 BEFORE to make neathiron doable fast enough to be in time limit (by 9 or 10 minutes) and could do higher with struggle. Great. NOW normal players can’t do Neathiron anymore.
Is that the plan?
You need to start dodging the mechanics. You get one stack of a debuff each time you get hit. The debuff increases the damage you take. It’s the same as what’s used for the tormented bosses.
this game becames unplayable! i take a breake !

But if you can’t avoid being hit? How long do the debuffs stacked last? In the last quarter of the boss they seem to stack up exponentially. So one-hit-death is hard to avoid. Not so much skill as twitch (clearly designed to please controller-users).
Very difficult if you can’t evade often enough or reduce evade cooldown by attacking. Attacking while evading ,while slowed, is just silly. And recently T50 pit is as difficult as T62 pit used to be.
Before the patch I was farming The Pit lvl 73 with an average of 5-6 minute per turn but now after the patch everything became impossible because the bosses take forever to kill and/or I usually run out of time IF they are not killing me first. Their HP and damage is overpowered and even the elite trash mobs can kill me faster. I have tried The Pit lvl 61 and even that one is very hard. This is getting really frustrating. Blizzard needs to fix this as soon as possible because in this state, it is impossible to do The Pit and farm Masterworking materials.

probably m8 but the difference i experience is just huge before the change and after.
Although I find the Pit much easier than when it was released, shadow bosses HAVE NOT BEEN FIXED. It is true that they don’t overlap, but sometimes just when one has left the next appears. I think it is not just a question of time, but the faster you kill the boss, the sooner they appear.
Biggest issue for me is the horrible comparison between pre boss and boss in Pit.
You BREEZE throu pre boss areas with your HP not even moving once, all packs gets instantly deleted.
Then all of a sudden you get to the boss and he literally destroys you with one orb of all the 10-15 he spawns.
Everything about this game is just wrong. A Clunky loadingscreen simulator.
In Season 5 they buff Pit bossess when they try to nerf. But we must forgive them this was not first time and not really even last time. But also commonly we learn our mistakes, not everyone.
Season 5 = full of damage bug for no reason.

I think devs never do pit higher then tier 10.
Its stupid on high tier, you can clear dungeon less then 5min then you meet boss. Boss has tons of hp, 2 borring mechanic and after 50% hp boss fight looks like a running simulator becouse that “red ghost” spaming his skills one after another.

Indeed. It is really frustrating and not fun at all to play the game in the current state as it is right now. And although this issued has been pointed out for like 2 weeks already, nobody took any measures in order to fix it. The new patch which will release on the 20th of August doesn’t even mention this problem. Even the Technical forum doesn’t speak about it. Is this really the way the game should work ? Because the Pit bosses are grossly overpowered and I highly doubt that being almost maxed out you should have problems getting one-shotted. Why even bother making Pit level 200 If 150 was the max before this horrible patch. And moreover, since Season 5 everything is ultra-hard, even Pit level 61 is hardcore. If not, then why doesn’t any Blizzard official recognize that they have made a huge mistake and work on the solution. I really thought Blizzard reads the forum and listens to the community, or at least this is what they said last before the release of Season 5. The problem is that since the launch of Season 5 it is impossible to farm Pit materials and not everybody has time to max they caracter in order to farm Tormented bosses. The game should be balanced way better. For me, this Season feels like a slap on the face because of the Pit problem.

Same here. Barb doing pit 90 before patch 1.50. I am aware of some nerfs and am ok with that.
But now even when doing pit 61 I get one shotted by the pit boss around when I get his health down to 50%. Can’t do infernal hordes 7 either, so no way of getting neathiron for masterworking.
