Doesnāt really change that much from 80-100 even with those upgrades unless your bossing since everything is pretty easy right now.

Gameplay was never the major issue, at least for me. It could be fast or slow, it doesnāt matter. Thereās nothing interesting to find so itās not playable. No rare lateral meta builds to set goals for. No motivation.

You mean you donāt want to grind for 2% more damage to close enemies?

Ive been enjoying it much more. I think the balance changes were good. The resistance changes are good, but some of the gear like the new unique pants are silly (10% to the specific element should also raise the ceiling by 10%). The changes to make the open world more purposeful have been good. Im actually doing world bosses and legion events to farm the blood vials (cant remeber their name) to hunt for specific uniques.
That being said, still things to be improved upon, but these were the first good steps, in the right direction. For example, everything except for parts to summon Varshan, drop in very specific locations. Summoning parts for Varshan however drop after legion events, and then can be crafted at the alchemist to more easily get the missing pieces you need. Iām doing Varshan 5x more often than I am any of the others. There should be crafting/swapping options for the other 4 bosses, that let me exchange parts from one boss for others, or similar random drops in other events, thay only happen for Varshan parts, as it currently is.
Itemization still needs a lot of work. Too much bloat, too hard to tweak pieces of gear, and too expensive to roll when the pool is so large.
P.S.
Ive only been doing eternal thus far, as there are specific new uniques and ways to hunt them, that im having fun with. Also, just updating my two lvl 100s to be playable with the balance changes. Plenty to do for me.

Iām having a vastly improved S2 vs S1. My S2 55 Sorcerer feels like it could take my S1 97 Rogue. Iāve had a lot of lucky loot drops and the skill balance is vastly improved. Killed Butcher, Living Steel chest, among others. Starting with over 20 paragon at 50 was a big advantage. I really like the Blood tide too. Hopefully this trend continues.

I think you misread my comment.
The game is so easy that im killing enemies with a weak crowd control ability. The way my build is designed i use steel grasp to gather enemies and rend to generate fury and finish off enemies with bleed. They die too fast for that to happen.
What level are you ?
Builds are not really needed until High Nightmare dungeons.
The game will be very easy until like Nightmare sigil 60+
Some people even think 100 is easy.
Get there and see how your ability plays there.
People are killing all end game bosses in 1 single hit.
This game is a joke.

Is there a reason you feel like the game has to be hard ?
Itās better but not close to what it should be. Eternal realm is still so bad and engame builds struggling with resources like hota are just plain frustrating.
Played like around 10h since the patch and no unique drops and advanced only 4 levels on eternal from 82 to 86.
Considering i can maybe manage 1h during week days Iād say im gonna stop playing. Iām just not getting any upgrades for time invested and Iāll probably never do engame bosses since Iāll never get there build wise.
My hota is now crap and i donāt have resources to respec to another build.

End game bosses shouldnāt be killed in 1 single hit by multiple classes.

Why are you expecting blizzard to implement or do any thing properly tho?
This is to be expected.

So then why play a game where the devs are so incompetent you canāt expect anything to be done properly?
Why play a game where you can kill end game bosses with a blindfold?

Indeed.
Why play ?
We can just not play if we donāt agree with these changes
Iām level 85 in sacreds still and doing t50sā¦
Except they nerfed nm dungeons because they werenāt suppose to be the end game. So now youāre telling me the endgame are nm dungeons again, except that Lilith has been nerfed into irrelevancy?
That means theres less aspirational content than there was at launch.
All these things are to be expected.
Why are you surprised, it is blizzard we are talking about.
Why did you expect them to do any thing properly ?
The āend gameā is to get level 100.
How you get there is usually Nightmare dungeons.
Once you reach it you can quit, or make an alt.
There are no bosses worth doing.
It definitely feels a lot better, but there still is no endgame, so once you complete the season quest, youāre pretty much done.

After playing from release day onward, I have never seen this. The claim pops up now and then and I would love to see a solo player kill an end game boss with one hit.
