Huntress.

I was not gonna bother writing this but...

There was an update just now that gave some ranged spear skills 5% - 10% buff.

let me paint a picture for you . i am playing a Rake huntress with tame beasts.

i have finished act 3 last night , some of the zones took me over an hour .
(for a single zone) 30-40 min a zone on avg.

My Rake has 3 support gems , and i use disengage to max out the distance bonus.
Every single node that i took on the skill tree is to buff my dmg( no defense at all)

i actually got a divine orb , and bought the best spear on the market for my level , (on the monk with a weapon like that i could get to tier 15 maps)
and i did the trails and took amazon and first 2 points that buff crit.
(oh and i am using herald of blood) on top of it all and have two tamed beasts.

with all of that minmaxing and crazy luck , let me tell you .
it does not one-shot white mobs of my level , hit from a max distance to a normal sized white mob deals about 1/3 of their hp , and if it crits bleed will take them to half hp.

it barely does anything to blue mobs and rares . my two beasts are the ones clearing the zones for me slowly so slowly i am basically just jumping around like a moron.

every packs that i run into feels like an event , like i entered some kind of survival arena , its so exhausting , and with zone being super large ,
and having endless packs on top of 0 directions , everything seems random.

given all that , by the time i finish a zone i have to take a break .
it feels like i forced myself to do a chore . i literally go play anything else even a souls like just to have some fun and then come back.

if you doubled the scaling damage on everything huntress has it would still feel horrible , around triple would be where you can actually progress and have fun . triple would be the damage and clear speed monk had last season.

i love your game , i have thousands of hours on poe1 , i have a lot of hours here , but this is all just too much...i dont think i can force myself to go trough the cruel acts with huntress , or make a new character .

it just takes too long and its too slow .

you are GGG you can check my logs or whatever to see everything i said was true.

i seen the news , you are correct those are the current problems .
but other then that , you did nothing . people ask for a glass of water and you bring them 3 drops of water and say we have to be careful not to over-do it .

i dont understand you , people will get even more mad now .

Good luck i hope you start to understand what people are asking for one day.
This ain't it .
