I am with you on that. Yes I understand PoE1 was to take this feeling of DnD. Yet I always felt so limited in DnD. This classless system was so good. Maybe just a little more on balance. As the beginning of the game was just so brutal while the end was such a cake walk. When you are killing the final bosses in a row and not even having to worry about loosing the battle. That might be a bit to much.
The beginning should be kinda easy but still a good challenge. While the end bosses should be a real work out. This is just my feelings with Path of the Damn in Tyranny. Maybe I was over leveled but I do not think I was. I just think defense and healing stats where just to strong.
