Yeah I just changed my build and it is kind of a mess. I'm only like level 54 and just got into WT3, so that might be it. I'm not geared all that well yet, but the other day before the patch I was crushing things.
I'm level 60 on WT3 and I should also add that I have 11 Minions to distract the enemies. That is no doubt making things a lot more doable for me.
 
My build was definitely buffed by the patch, my passive and active druid minions are doing waaaaay more damage now.

I only have 2 remaining unlocks on the Battle Pass for this season! The "accelerated" unlocks from the deluxe edition and Amazon Prime Gaming made it fly by.
 
I changed my build and am not getting ganked again. I had to use a trap that distracts enemies, and now I am fine again. You just need something to handle the masses of enemies. I drop a trap and they all run towards it and away from me.
 
My flurry Rogue is back doing NM dungeons a couple levels higher and barely needing a health potion. I drop a trap with a shadow decoy that pulls in all the enemies, then I charge my energy, jump in and stab everyone. It is the same build as twisting blades basically. That is fun but is more complicated to make work.

I am worried about my main barb. I had a feeling barbs were going to struggle in this new enemy density. I'm guessing a whirlwind build might be fun, but you really need a way to distract enemies the way things are now.
 
I'm at lvl63 right now and have been plowing through WT3 without issue. Last night I decided to take a stab at the boss gatekeeping WT4, he was lvl70. I was worried but my Minions destroyed him on the first attempt, lol.

My problem now is the minimum level of enemies in WT4 at lvl75 pushing my build to the limits. I might go back to WT3 for a few more levels. At least I don't have to face off against that jerk of a boss again.
 
It turns out things get very interesting if you get a lot of lucky hit. I got this unique ring that increases damage of the Minions. It relies on lucky hit so I spent some time looking for gear with that aspect and slapped it on and whoa, the unique effect activates like crazy now. I wouldn't be surprised if this is nerfed soon, lol.
 
I finally found one of "The Barber" caged hearts, it's absolutely crazy. Groups of enemies just pop and disappear from the screen. Hopefully I find more, because I'm never going to be willing to upgrade the ring it's on until I have another I can immediately replace it with!

I'm in the same boat. It is kind of rare, and I've already used by 2 that I found. Now I need another and I can't find one.

It is too good to not have on basically any build.

Sounds like they are making some much needed changes too:

-Renown finally carries over, once you do it on one character, you are done
-Target farming of uniques
-5 new endgame bosses
-Better inventory for gems
-Elemental resistances are getting looked at (they are mostly useless now)

The big problem is the season is dropping in October which is just loaded with games. Honestly, I may skip the season and just play my eternal realm characters from now on. I don't really feel like starting over again on another alt (although I have yet to try any class other than Rogue or Barb).

Looks cool, but the timing won't work for me either. In retrospect, makes sense they released the first season so early, as there's no way it could have competed with any of the game launches happening in September or October.

I am pretty underwhelmed by the whole season anyway. This game really needs some endgame. Both my characters are only in the 60s in TW3 and I'm already bored. Nothing but nightmare dungeons gets old fast.

This game really needs some DLC to add in some major endgame.

I agree, running nothing but Nightmare dungeons gets old. I have a Seasonal Necro at lvl80 and the build I'm running is almost immune to damage. Its fun kicking the devilish tails of enemies 20lvls higher than I am but it also gets boring.

There's a lot of new games coming out so I'll be taking a break from D4 to move onto something else. Hopefully in a few months there's incentive for me to return and start a new class. Both the Druid and Necromancer I've played were a lot of fun and I was able to get both to lvl80, starting feel like I'll never get to lvl100.

I'll never get to 100 in the current state of the game. I can't even motivate myself to get to WT4.

They've already said there will be DLC. My only fear is that the DLC will raise the cap and sort of expect you to be high already to get in.
 
Pretty sure they said two expacs already in the works.

I’ll probably revisit early next year.
 
For anyone who's not going to be busy in the stars next weekend :)

Damn, wish they would have done this literally any other prior weekend.

Of course they are and of course I’ll be too busy exploring the stars.

I got my Rogue into WT4 easily. I swapped to my Barb in the eternal realm and my gosh things are slow without the seasonal stuff. Hoping to get my Barb into WT4 as well.
 
When the new season starts in Oct will our gear, stash, gold, and blacksmith mats carry over this time to our new Seasonal character?
 
Yeah, you have to start a new seasonal character each season. Unless you really want to try a new class, I don't think it is worth it. Our current seasonal goes into the eternal realm and becomes a "normal" character.

I doubt I'll make a new seasonal character for a long time now.

I really don't get the point. It is the same game with a slightly different mechanic or thing that is a little overpowered. The time commitment is kind of high and not really worth it. It only makes sense if you want to try a new class and get an accelerated start.

So nothing carry’s over?

Looks like they are just trying to keep people playing their game and making money. This is pushing me to play the game less.
