I don't get how anyone can claim "Skill issue". It's absurd. As I mentioned in the post, these are TIER 1 MAPS. The lowest level of endgame content.
If it's gear related how do I acquire better gear without playing? I have 450 hours on poe2, I'm not new to the game. You're telling me I need better gear for the lowest level endgame content. Where do you start then?
Armor has always been the worst defensive stat by FAR. I find it funny that the one guy claiming he has no problem also built evasion LOL. If anyone is not telling the whole story its people claiming there is no problem. We need the armory so those types cant lie about having an easy time just to put others down, not so we can put them down more.
Armor is bad if you are trying to play only armor with no HP based ascendancy like Titan or Gemling, without shield, without evasion. You can try to bash your head against playing pure armor with lower armor than someone going hybrid and cry and scream all you want, but layered defenses has always been the way to go. If you want to play pure armor yo have to understand its strengths and weaknesses. Armor needs HEAVY investment into life regeneration. If you don't have that then forget one shots you wont be able to even play the game because you can mitigate all the damage you want but if you can't recover your HP then you're gonna die anyway. On top of that you need to have investment into stun and elemental threshold plus the whole max res wheel and maybe even the bottom one that also gives max res.
But yes you dying on tier 1 maps is definitely a skill or game knowledge issue. Armor is one of the best defenses in the game but people are trying to stack 50000 armor with 0 regen and no shield or no evasion and then they die and cry.
Well genius, I use a shield, and I am using the smith ascendency passive for regening 25% max health per second. My gear also has max health and regen. Even using % increased regen Jewels. If you're going to be a blind sycophant for the game then find a different thread.

Does leap still over stun mobs if you take it past level 7? That was a common mistake people made in 0.1 especially after getting +ranks to skills.
For those that don't know your leap should prime whatever pack of enemies you land on for your boneshatter to explode most of the screen, but an over levelled leap will take the mobs straight to heavy stun status and your boneshatter will not explode them.
I wonder if nerfing enemy HP has had any effect on this behavior as well.

Then you are clearly doing something incredibly wrong because t1 isn't nearly as hard as you are describing at all.

Ok buddy, lets pretend my gear is terrible. How do I get new gear if I can't survive t1 maps? GGG is not gonna pay you to glaze them.

I got to maps yesterday and I don't really have any issues with getting stunned or anything and I have 2800 armor and 1000 evasion. I think a this point we should just be asking people for their trees and items so we can see what the heck is going on. They need to get the online armory working asap cause all these opinions mean nothing blind.
Cause like 90% of these posts are pure skill issues.
Is this an appropriate amount of stun and dmg on a unmodded white mob thats 12 lvl lower that you ?

If you're playing trade buy stuff.
If you're playing SSF go back and refarm zones/roll an alt and get better vendor rng.
I have absolutely, with out a doubt, 0 idea. How you have so little armour at end game.
I have 3k and I didnt even roll smith I rolled Titan. So I dont get free resists and max res. Or the 5% regen node.
T1 maps are killing you is a gear/build issue.
Agreed with Kashou we need people to start posting their items as this is just ridiculous at this point.

Yeah that seems completely fine you're barely getting stunned at all. Also this is an edge case mob that has overwhelm and bonus stun but you can just leap slam on them and they die instantaneously.

sounds like you're using melee without block or evade?
try adding blind support and pinning to leap slam (or another AoE skill of choice)
for 2 handed, you really just have to double down on regen, leech and armour nodes then jam your skill with damage and focus toward slams (depending on ascendancy, this advice changes slightly on how to approach it)
Titan - get the body armour node.
Warbringer - get the 40% base block and encase in jade nodes
Smith of Kitava - this guy is basically invincible, jus get defenses

?
Most endgame warrior builds are seemingly unkillable? Is 1700 armor a typo or are you trolling?
What in the world do you mean "most"??? And yes, he isn't trolling. If you played warrior this patch you would notice that you don't have any more armour than a bib in the kitchen by endgame start.
