Brutal sucks

[Gamefreak]

Nothing like health sponges that hit you for half your HP!

[Mikail]

Yes, its brutal.

[ZombieNation]

git gud

It's called Brutal on purpose
Get good or go back to normal

[theworld]

Brutal is... Brutal. Who woulda thunk it?

[Mikail]

Orange is orange btw.

I hate all these arguments of "brutal is brutal" or get good, to excuse a ♥♥♥♥ difficult mode, its like people love bullet sponges that can 1 shot you in any looter shooter. I'd go far and say that brutal demonstrates how ♥♥♥♥ some of the combat elements in the game are, it really just comes down to "don't get hit".

[Glyph]

Don't get hit then. That's possible for every boss

Well, thankfully people can just play normal if brutal is too hard. So yeah the git gud is valid.

Nobody except Dracula phase 3 can oneshot you from full HP, and even that takes a lot of time to build up to that damage, why lie to make your point?

You actually can make a tanky build work on Brutal, stuff like Shields from certain frost spells will prevent you from losing over 25% of your health in a single hit in most fights, and then you can heal back from either certain item bonuses that give leech or Brute blood.

Obviously, you cannot afford to just face tank bosses, that's not how this game works, but with this type of build you can get hit every 10 seconds or so and still win.

The only brutal thing in brutal mode for far, was Maja the librarian. She can kiss the fattest part of someone's posterior. We had 2 people (47) trying to kill her, then a 61 joined and still couldn't do it. SO MANY ADDS! It wasn't until an 83 decided to come and help that we won, but even with the 83, it was a struggle (Not for him.) but the other 3 got their HP dropped quickly. All the other bosses/encounters have felt good, minus the frost mace guy, his 3 rushes were a pain lol.

You suck.

Yes, some people only enjoy games with extreme and unfair difficulty. As usual with extremists it's a very vocal minority.
Right now there are difficulty controls in the game, if you solo - normal is far more challenging than it needs to be for a casual player. A single mistake may cost you half of a healthbar on normal (or death on brutal).
I'm playing the game on a controller. If you use a controller, bunch of abilities just don't work due to targeting.

It is kinda wierd to be hones, when you realize that brutal means just 1 hit and half hp is gone, i wish they made some new brutal mechanics but not just adding more damage.

[Bing Bong]

Yea I guess go back to normal, the mode is not for everyone.

Personally love brutal.
