Brutal difficulty help ?

[Imyo]

So i find the option for high damage of both sides amazing for a game like this where preparation is key, i like slow paced gameplay and im having fun with the game except for one thing i cant deal with right now, so:

Random captain hunters, they just 1 shot me from 5 miles away, i dont even see them, im on top of a building, analizing some group of uruk patrol patterns to make an ambush and suddenly, BUM, dead, its like they are using insane autoaim and wallhack.

I just want to know how to deal with this, something that doesnt involve dying randomly every now and then, it kinda breaks my immersion because im really being stealthy and planning every move, they just have absurd reach and aim.

You mean Hunters or Marksmen? Since Marksmen do have Eagle Eye and, later, SNIPER SHOT, thus basically being, well, literal snipers.

That aside, you always need to roll and roll and roll when it comes to these cases, as well as take cover. Brutal is, after all, Gravewalker with an extra Last Chance and damage buff to you, thus whenever you˙re fighting, know that those are Gravewalker-tier enemies, thus gotta act appropriately.

I swear i try, but most of the times they just one shot me without warning, and i saw a few of those laser aim things that just allways hit and stun, those hit like from half a map away too.

All I can say is to either try harder or avoid clusters with Hunters in them unless you´re ready to cull them fast with arrows and all (or you have enough Might to swiftly dispatch them with something like Elven Light with an element upgrade).

Yeah, those are Marksmen, for these you basically need to play like you˙re a sniper yourself as well; hide and maneuver as much as possible and if you do need to cross their LoS, then roll and dash as fast as possible. Thank everything that their LoS is basically around 1/2 of themselves; they won˙t see you if you approach them from behind unless they turn around.

iirc shadow striking should interrupt anything an orc does
