I had decided to create a K Fail for new sorcs to level with, I only needed the part at the bottom of the Flayer Dungeon to complete it. When my clvl 20 sorc had died for the fifth time and was still on level 2, I decided that perhaps I should bring in the clvl 41 necro to clear down to the chest. That necro is nearly pure bone, and has nearly 400 damage absorb Bone Armor and about 200 HP. I used to do the Dungeon with a Ice Blast sorcs for a small bit of coordination practice and teleport fun (i.e. death simply wasn't even possible).
The necro TWICE was left with a sliver of life in mere seconds. That's nearly 600 damage being delivered within the reaction time to drink a potion.
This is absurd. This is carrying "making the game challenging" far beyond reasonable sense. This sort of stupidity makes hardcore "game over", I am no longer surprised at a post I read a couple days ago from a fanatic hardcore player about selling off all his CDs (on the second day after the patch was released)!
DId anyone actually play test this release? It certainly is not the beta.
