Nothing works

This league is making me depressed.

The atlas is great. Everything about it is absolutely fantastic, I only wish the respec orbs were more common so it was easier to try out what you like.

The rest is awful to me.

I've made 5-6 level 90 characters this league. They have all hit a brick wall in the endgame, and none of them feel fun. I made a full block/crit facebreaker, which at least survives, but is painfully slow. And hopeless to boss with. I made a trapper, which is fun but shit, because he simply dies all the time. I made a corpse exploder, which is tanky, but unreliable for boss dps. I've tried both flame and carrion golems, but they seem lacking and the necro phys protection hurts too much in high tiers.

I think back on Delerium. I made at least as many characters then, and they ALL felt great to play for different reasons.

Where is the build diversity? If the endgame is so f-ing crazy that only a couple of mechanics will keep you alive, how are you supposed to play different builds in anything but white or yellow, non juiced maps?

Is the only thing that works in the endgame dodge capped characters with mom/archmage setups?

Top that with the monumentally awful rewards from ritual...I've worked hard this league and I've got nothing to show for it. It feels bad.

Well, this is one weird thread. You have the items yet, apparently, you are not doing well. Maybe your definition of "well" is different? I, for example, am doing great. Bosses fall in seconds, every ritual is a breeze, can do everything from legion to blight without a hick, can run every map mod and I haven't even started to invest heavily. The other issue might be your skill build but I gotta admit I am not a golem expert.

I dont know. I cant even think about how people manage to play this crap in HC. Those are some absolutely crazy people.

I feel like I keep dying to stray bullshit that is completely impossible to dodge or predict. So the solution is either, shoot things from off screen, or play something that can take ONE hit and dodges the rest, aka dodge/mom.

I dont know how the hell people play this game in end tier maps without constantly being shit on.

HC is a meme in this game.

How about you commit to a shit character you find fun and make it good ?
I mean, no shit your builds suck if you quit them so fast.

I can take a look at one of you character if you want me to, just tell me which one.

game hasnt become more difficult since delirium
you might just be making bad builds this time around

Delirium: Zoom-zoom, kill stuff before it can react to you
Ritual: Take it in the teeth and kill stuff when you can.

If you're not seeing the difference, you're not paying attention.

why are you making such standard builds? Don't you want to try something out that you thought of on your own?

LOL WUT?!?!

First: Abyssus. That's a noob trap. Second: weird tree, weird gems. Third: hybrid flask, really?!? Lol I can point a lot of flaws in your build.

I take Sirus with that build, different tree, worse gear, no problem. Did all Maven content deathless. Yeah block can fail sometimes but it's the best build for bosses. Only problem: dots. Maven has some nasty degens.

I had the opposite problem - my characters were falling over dead in Delirium in red maps, doing much better in Ritual. You're right that idk how anyone plays HC on day one of new content knowing it's going to be not just unfamiliar but intentionally overtuned.
