Thanks to some help here I switched to a no-minions endgame necro build.
But even with that I can not beat last bosses in certain content.
I am this is frustrating to the point where I rather stop and do something else.
But I dont think this content should be exclusive to top tier min maxed pro gamers, or am I thinking wrong!?
Bosses, champs, and elites seem overturned compared to trash IMHO. It sucks to be able to melt trash and everything else is a slog to fight.

ok I would be fine if they are spongebobs. But I mean I run out of potions or health before I can nuke such bosses down and its mega hectic and stressful.
Not fun at all so to speak.
I know with good gear I will just walz through them but the annoying part is, how can I do content now with bad gear when its not possible for me!?
Just level second chars and get to this point some time too!?
we just need a better way to find groups and this wouldnt be an issue.
its only an issue that i get curbstomped after getting the boss to 15% in stronghold bosses because i cant find a group to do the stronghold with.
More info would be needed to offer assistance. What level are you, boss, gear, potions, elixers, elements used.
On its face, more grinding and upgrading necessary

Strongholds are meant to be hard. (They are a few levels above you if I remember correctly)
Use elixirs, look for a group or turn it down to WT1.
Make sure your gear is up to par for the level also.
Kor Dragon is a really hard one.

If you can’t melt bosses, elites, or even champions (LOL), your build is bad and you should respec.
Nothing is overtuned, you just don’t know what you’re doing with your gear.
I didn’t die once during the initial campaign. Smoked every boss easily. At level 60, I was killing Tier 20 nightmare dungeon bosses in under 5 seconds.
Learn to play.

I disagree. My build is what everyone was recommended and is used by many and many here said its the best top dps build. And its not so hard to use it. U dont need to be rocket scienciest for Diablo 4 gameplay.
I guess you were just lucky with the gear drop, you probably dont even know what it is that makes you so strong but its def your rolls on your gear.

No, the issue isn’t that. The game shouldn’t be balanced around needing to be in a group. It should be balanced around semi-casual solo play.

It is balanced around solo play. The story can be completed with any class solo.
But group play makes it easier…questionable design choice I know. But that is how they are incentivizing grouping. Maybe it will change later.

Really? I find the game too easy as of now D:
Is it, though? Those min-max higher tier builds often need pretty exacting affixes to work right. You can place the skills the same, but that’s only 1/3rd of the build and the weakest of the three components.
Strongholds are always 2 levels above you. They are meant to be more challenging. I had no issues completing them all on minion Necro but i am fully specced out for minions. A couple made me work for it a little bit but i never felt overwhelmed.
If you think these are hard wait till nightmare dungeons. Elites are pretty dangerous in this game especially multiple packs with the right affixes. I’ve been chain CC’d in poison pools/explosions several times and hit panic mode. Luckily i haven’t run into Butcher yet. Still got PTSD from that thing while doing the beta tests.
Follow a guide. Don’t waste your time trying to make something work in these games.
Back in D2 you could just pick up a lot of skills and make it work. These days you need to know the exact combinations to amplify an abilities damage.
My Ice shards sometimes barely damage a normal monster, but when I cast Frost Nova, Elites just instantly die when I start using Ice Shards.
I hate the modern system of specific game play. I miss the days where frost nova just freezes and my main skill just did damage. Didn’t matter if I was up close, far away, frozen, chilled, burning, etc.

I really shouldn’t have included bosses, while think they may be a tiny bit overturned the bigger issue to me is champs and elites.
If that’s true, and you’re having issues with strongholds, then you have clearly missed something in the build guide.
Strongholds are harder than the common trash in the outerworld, but they aren’t anything special. Even with a semi-mediocre build.
my rogue literally deletes elites, I burn bosses so fast they sometimes screw up transitions lol
Just killed Butcher playing hide and seek with him around a pillar.
Firewall, hydra, hide and seek, repeat.
My build is totally fine and very good. Its not it. I use the build every top min maxed necro uses.
But if I see so many saying the total opposite of me, I know this game’s game’s balancing is dog**** and some are just lucky with their drops.
I am back to doing side quests and lilith shrines. Only content I can do right now without destroying my keyboard like a Tetris player on speed.
Something you are doing is wrong. Strongholds are not that hard, not even slightly.
