Hooking people into the gameplay loop is super important, it probably explains a good chunk of the refunds and it’s a shame because it really picks up in the fun factor once you get some gear and a few levels behind you.

In comparison, my second character (the Forged), managed to beat Act 1 in just under 4 hours. Took 15 hours to beat Act 1, because I cleared every map and killed all the elites, too. My first character, a Sharpshooter who has an easier time to begin with. Before the HP nerf to ridiculous it was even worse.

Ranged classes still will find use out Ramming Robot but in a different way. Melee builds might start combat with Ramming Robot, getting right in the middle of combat before unleashing devastating attacks at all the enemies around them. Ramming Robot is a useful skill for both types of builds. Do not worry, players are not damaged by their own skills. It drops flaming hot coals centered on the cursor, and yes, that can be centered on the player as well. For players intending to go with a ranged approach, Vent: Coal Launch is essential. It can be paired with the combat skill Rapid Strike to unleash a barrage of punches at nearby enemies. A melee-oriented build will likely want Vent: Vortex Bomb, which unleashes a blast that will affect all enemies around the player. Which one the players choose depends on their approach to combat.
