" Avireyn wrote: I feel that Brutus would have warranted such a buff more. Maybe by giving him a way of being more a threat to ranged characters: - Give him a "Shoulder Charge" attack, like the Shield Charge skill, and include a kickback -so the PC is hit, but has a second to react before being wailed at again. - Let him throw a chain that stuns the PC for a short time if it hits him in the back (don't even know if PoE makes that distinction between "back" and "front" in this respect). I second this notion. He's almost painfully easy with ranged characters, which is really anti-climactic after walking into that room with all the blood on the floor and having flashbacks to the Butcher in Diablo I.

If you're playing ranger on higher difficulty (with evasion equip only, pretty much), then this guy is already giving me this kind of reaction: OMG RUN Before this change, 1 hit already reduced me to maybe 15% hp lol... scared to go back there now :\| And now you made his damage even higher?! O_O Wonder if that really was neccesary.. oh well.	Posted by Djiel#3141 on Mar 29, 2012, 11:51:40 AM Quote this Post

I will hold my full judgement until after the wipe and I play thru again But, I do not like the new (old) armor values. Now I am dieing quicker than I can cleave (I support it with Life Gain On Hit. I get 24 life per hit. Amazing with cleave) and nearly faster than I can use my flasks. I am a fan of the old armor system and it providing me a 80% damage reduction. Now I only have 67% :`( Insanity is overrated unless you join me in mine.	Posted by DarkRookie#0643 on Mar 29, 2012, 12:54:09 PM Quote this Post

A short guide for ppl who have problems with certain bosses: get an item with blue sockets, put summon skeletons in it (L1) with some blue support for movement speed and life if possible.. and use this item in one of the less important slots (head/gloves/feet/offhand if applicable). Carry that item with you to swap in/out for something you use otherwise. Voila, problem solved. /flameshield on	Posted by loriccz#7817 on Mar 29, 2012, 1:39:42 PM Quote this Post
