Unplayable class

Maxed out armor and resists all HP nodes and royal rubies in each slot, keep getting one shoted random in artificer 70+. Beside the fact that i cant kill any boss with WW and with flay i feel like im pissing against the wind, the random one shots… feels so so unfair and cheap.

Five seasons already and still the gameplay is all over the place.

PS: i have played only barbs since release, 2 or 3 per season.

That’s not a class problem, same issue with sorcerer

What are you talking about?? Barb is dogshit even with 4 mythic items, while a sorc can 1 shot T8 boss with just a single mythic…makes sense.

And what sorc is that ? I do easily T7 boss with my Bash barb (4-mythic) but T8 is very hard. I use to play with sorc but it’s so weak after many nerfs.
October 6 I start to play with Spiritborn if I don’t get PoE2 beta licence.

Lightning Spear sorc

Thanks, I think I try it.

I am having the same problem since the launch of Season 5. I play HOTA Barb, I have maxed armor and resist, masterwork 12/12 on all items, better gear and spec than last season and I still get one-shotted in The Pit. Before the patch I could farm Pit level 80 but know even level 61 is impossible. I don’t know If the problem is the game itself or the Barbarian class because I see other classes melting everything without even losing health.

Lightning sorc is uber strong and it is fun to play. I run T8.
SORC is back. God save the Sorc.

Boss is staggered, pop ancients and shouts… now is the moment! Next frame, some shadow spawn, instant death!! This is beyond ridiculous…
I dont think that there is anyone at blizzard who plays the game beyond story mode… this seems unreal stupid. One in two pits this happens, not that hard to see it if u play the game.

I do Pit 122 field in 3min and then fight with boss 8min and give up. It don’t take damage. I have a good lightning spear sorc can do T8.
Pit bosses are UBERS.

The simple solution is to just lower the time spawn of the Shadow bosses because if they appear each time you hit the boss, you will eventually get 3 stacks of debuff before you can even drop his life to half and get one-shotted no matter how much HP, armor or resistance you have. Or just remove this dumb mechanism, it is very frustrating and not challenging at all, just to run in circles for 10 minutes trying to avoid all random shadow hits which eventually will lead to you death.

The entire class is all over the place. Has this very weird graph of progression that would make you think of a MOBA carry, but it’s really not a carry. Because it still manages to end up awkward and not as powerful as others. Except maybe at like above 99%. But that’s silly to balance anything around that percentile.
