Totally agree, my partner has such bad anxiety she cant play any group content but fell in love with the game due to its good solo builds, now many of them don't exist any more.
Some still exist but the pool to choose from just got smaller and the game is worse for it.
Go ahead and tell me to dodge/gitgud I don't care, toxic gate keepers love to say that to people with valid concerns.
I dodge the big stuff and get killed while the energy is coming back in some fights because the punishment never stops, very rarely a random person turns up to help and I can manage but you cant count on it.
I hate posting stuff like this because I know what's coming in response but the game I love has just gotten so much worse - to me and so many others - and I feel it is only right to let myself get insulted for the very slim chance I can make some change for the better.
Thief and scrapper sustain use to help when out of dodges and defense skills, now you just die.
