After last patch I find a huge difficulty increase going into act 2.
I was sort of ok damage wise through act 1, but after starting act 2 I felt like doing no damage at all, and it did also feel like the bigger enemys like summoner and those pack leader was alot tougher to kill.
I also think that the act 1 boss need a nerf, it was a really struggle to get him down, he have way to much hp.
I also didnt get any weapon upgrades since middle of act 1, so might be the reason its hard in act 2, but when you dont get any upgrades you cant do anything about it.
I tryed severel times look at merchant and he only had low damage weapons. I am running a dual pistol build. Might be that a bow do more damage but its so damn slow to use. I tryed switch between bow and pistol, and always ended going back to pistol. The higer attack speed makes up for the lower damage of the pistols. If attack speed actual made a different i would use a bow. But ended up remove all my points from attack speed since it didnt make much different, it felt like waste of points tbh.
The sum of this is that after completing act 1 im sort of tired of the slow killing, it felt like it took forever to get through act 1, and in the current state where I hit a huge difficulty increase in act 2 I dont feel like moving on. So I skip the game here and hope it will work out at some point. Also just not in the mood for doing all story again since i have done that plenty of times. We shouldnt start this bloodtrail by doing story. I think we should be able to start where we want if it is story or end game thing.
