Is syndicate grossly overtuned?

I'm playing a generic two handed melee character, and have no real problems dealing with the syndicate in maps.

It's was WAY harder during leveling - and it probably will be WAY harder once I start pushing high tier maps. But T1-10 seems like a sweet spot.

Last league was overmax res league this one seems to like high armor. Just the archer ads nail me for 2K. I'ma respect to armor soon as i have like 100 regrets.

I had problems early before I picked up some gear. The early levels are the worst. Reminds me of Beyond when it first came out.

I got a few items and pretty much plow over them now. They do hit hard, but they flop over and I just keep upgrading them at this point. But from like 1-40, I honestly started skipping all of them. But I was untwinked; first league character.

I know them randomly spawning in boss rooms is pretty damn stupid though. Nothing more annoying than a boss and then this ninja bastard hops out of a portal with his 500 minions.

I'm not into mapping yet, I've just finished act8. I have to agree, at a certain point I could not even get close to the syndicate, I was playing arctic breath.
After respeccing to blade vortex, it's much easier, especially with the vaal skill that targets them from a range.

I guess I will see what happens in mapping soon. Hope I get to ~3k hp or more at that time.

I lost a melee characters and I didn't even want to do the caravan but it was shoved on me with a pack and tight doorway. I was trying to leap slam but kept getting sucked back in.

However I love that it's hard if you're trying for that mechanic, they shouldn't change it.

What I'd like to change is it stopped interfering with normal leveling/farming. For example blood farm, I don't want to basically have to be forced to capture beasts, or have caravans shoved in doorways of the only path I have to go. If it was more options I'd prefer it, either way I have no problems with it being scaled harder.

I can confirm ^^ 6k HP, 7 Endurance Charges, 80% All Res, 1,5k Life Regen, several Flasks Up for Life Leech and Phys Mitigation (up to 74%), but Still get One Shot from time to time. It gets better with very good gear, but thats one of my most frustrating League starts. Especially in the higher lvls, where loosing 10% exp really hurts

Get some chaos resist. A few of them seems to be doing a lot of chaos damage...

Simple answer:

YES. Holy shyte yes. But then, that's ALL new content, every league. They're always put out overtuned to insane levels and then dialed back.

Right now the major problem is the insane one-shot damage you can never see coming because of the mob spam at lower map levels.
and that Bu's whateverthehellitis consumes corpses to regen health - makes whomever has it almost entirely unkillable.

I mean i can clear the entire map with no problems at level 64 Tier 1 map , but the Syndicate shit in the map requires me to play like its an aul fight at depth 600 with tripple damage mods . I have 4 k life 1.5 k es and 1100 mana with MoM and they still one shot me if i make any mistake.

Not overtuned.
I had no problems doing them with frostblades as i leveled and i have no problem doing them in maps with cyclone coc bladefall. My resist arent capped. My hp is 3800. Enfeeble and some evasion are my only mitigation and enfeeble is not up all the time since its blade vortex coh.
Did not follow a build or even plan my skill tree. Just going the totally casual way and whipping it up as i go. Also my gear is cheap garbage if you dont count lycosidae that i bought for 36c.

I have had couple of syndicate deaths but only couple and it just tells me that this content is perfect. Just enough challenge. I really hope they dont nerf it.
