I've been playing warrior, but tank warrior, and I haven't had any problem with bosses mid way through act 2. So maybe this is more of a problem for dps players? I've actually been really enjoying the campaign, it's one of the best gaming experiences I've had in half a decade.

Melee is and always was gear dependant. I had a rough time early and now i'm breezing through the game and baiscally never die unless i tank mechanics that i should have avoided. And even then, i can survive a phyiscal boss slamn attack on a T17 map (t15+irridiated+corrupted) while being at Boss difficulty +3 right now.

Gear for a shield, get block, enjoy your life.

I know what you mean, but maximum ele resist is all about the "later" and not the "now.", it doesn't even provide resist only upping the cap(except the +5% resist prism guard)

I'm already getting one shotted "now", not "later", hence it's miserable.

I'm very happy with evasion and e shield. but this warrior with only armor nodes... not so much.

Time to work on getting resistances on your gear now then. ES builds have to do that too.

you are right!

but here's the thing. a boss hits you hard with elemental "now".
with e shield = "get more e shield."
with evasion = " get more evasion."
with armor = "get more gear that have elemental resist."

warriors have no "duct tape"(passive skill points) options.

-------------------
imagine playing with a friend(since couch coop is available now with controller.)

that friend picks warrior, wants to do warrior things.

friend: I always die in every encounter, what do I do?

you can't recommend anything that can duct tape your friend's problem.

all you can say is.

"bro you need to get gear with elemental resists."

Which is not a duct tape option.

unlike telling a friend that plays a mage or a archer/bow. "get more evasion/ get more e-shield."

what you gonna say to your friend?

"Get strength nodes to get 10 HP."

...REALLY? REALLY?

--------------------

We need HP nodes and ele resist nodes.

levels must mean something, passive skills must compensate gear inefficiencies until it can be respec to other passive points when you do get the gear to compensate said weakness.

Yet yall mages forget one simple thing. Dude have to meet all the enemy kisses with his tired face, while you pew pewing from other side of the map. That means he will be hit like ALOT more frequent than all of your cowardly asses.
And speaking of "super duper mega giga" defencive nodes that are somwhere in passive tree Australia, the dude is low lvl and he needs some def NOW, which is only armour in option.

So here's my advice bro. GGG cannot into 2h melee builds, they just suck at it. For now, as a warrior, shield is mandatory. Also all these super smart mages are right, you can't do a shit without duying until at least 30-40 all res, especially in cruel. And last but not the least - you have to be patient and come to term with the fact that 2h warrior is endless suffering.
