A veteran gamer here. Here's my issue.
First let me state honestly that I cheat. I have unlimited gold in almost any game that I can get away with it. Muling for gold is simply not fun for me. But I never cheat with stats or gear or anything else. I just dont like to mule.
So I have tons of potions, the best gear that I can buy. I love side quests and ALWAYS pick the exp reward as an option. No need for gold or gear, unless its spectacular.
I'm not complaining about normal game play. It's fine, I can pick out and kill almost any mobs a level or even 2 above me. no problem, I have LOTS of potions. It's the big fights. Every main plot event I am lower level than the mobs. I admit, that I can manage to load a previous save game and search and find some mobs to kill to get enough experience to make the big fights easier. But even so, its a quick load quick load quick load experience.
Especially with groups. I'm so frustrated. Im at the point where Im with the wizard in aeroth trying to seal the rifts. I had the two annoying battles upstairs and now have the big one on the main floor. I have reset skills a number of times with the trainer trying to find the secret formula to survive this. The best I've gotten so far is to summon creature with a summon demon and combo fireball, firewall, and magic blast. I tried an all melee approach, I've tried ranged. I've tried half and halfing it.
I also state that I did NOT min/max my stats. I spread them out as I wanted too, and if that doesnt make me overpowered, it should NOT make continuing the storyline impossible.
I don't get it. I don't get how I can breeze through the game so easily, then get to plot events and get stuck because I'm slaughtered.
This is a fun game(most of the time). Great storyline, but gods it is frustrating. Do I have to reroll and min/max to have a chance?
