I tried Huntress as well and it was like a wet paper bag for damage taken and given.
Once I had to dodge roll Act 1 Hags for 30-60 secs per and they were one shotting me if I didn't roll out of a hex circle fast enough I stopped.
Rolled a Monk again and rampaged right through Act 1 content like usual..until I discovered Tempest Bell was nerfed from 4 hits to 10 in order to charge it. Then I realized even Monk was going to be a slogfest or needed to played as ranged somehow for Bosses.
The 4 to 10 monk bell nerf was just reverted.

Exaggerated posts like this are the problem. With a level 1 ED, and just the spell damage nodes at witch start, I literally 1 shot every non-rare mob. With contagion, it 1 shot screens worth if you kited them properly. In act 3, with still just the 2 socket gem, ED is still 1 shotting mobs, and still 1 shotting screens when you kite them.
People intentionally playing bad builds or just being bad doesn't help.

Nothing is exaggerated. Not everyone wants to play ED/Contagion. No one should have to play one class and build to get through the game.

None. I was super pumped for the Lich, but none of the special nodes is excited enough and all initial nodes come with a significant downside. Why did they feel the need to pule on downsides is beyond me. Taking a break and waiting to check Last Epoch on the 17th. It have been a while.

Except people are slamming the campaign with bleed huntress. People are flying through with basic mace skills. The only people who are struggling are the ones crying on forums. Funny that...

Essence Drain was buffed so it actually feels like a real skill in this patch.
Im Act 1 Cruel and the DPS is still good on a 3 link and Un-Ascended Witch becasue Im not sure what I actually want to play after Cruel - whether its Bone-Blast or Essence Drain or maybe they revert Hexblast needing 50% Duration.
I didnt have to trade for any items so whatever I found or vendors sold im using. Better than I expected honestly.

I've stopped enjoying POE 2, it's not a fun game anymore, it's sweaty, cheesy, boring. It didn't work out very well. I'll try to go back and play with a different patch.

I haven't played besides activating a Map and insta dying 3 times in a row on a toon I put 285 hours into.
Reports suggest everything about the combat in this game is now a slog.
