How Godlike Are Your Heroes Feeling???

Hey I just started playing a fresh game on version 1.6c on
extreme difficulty and enemies are feeling really weak... I was
wondering if anyone is feeling like the power of the heroes has
went Way up in the last version.
Some things that are feeling overpowered for me are.
Ground Zero basically does 2x the damage of other spells and
feels insanely potent.
Volcanic Fissure can be cast at any range even with out Line of
Site, making it overpowered at best, and exploitable in the
extreme.
The fire elemental which wasn't viable is back and the most
insane tank ever! My hero hardly ever takes a hit.
The combat kings are very 1337 and less expensive than ever
before.
Anyway I want to hear what others think, maybe I am just too
leet since I loaded a give up but it sure doesn't seem like that
would account for it.
Edit: After fighting the elite and epic boss its feeling
slightly challenging but its still a little bit easy especially
for extreme.

Playing on extreme aswell after using give up. I know what u
mean with the imba feeling, chap 6 was like talking a walk with
all the money and the items. Although i have to say, even with
all items, things get tougher in chap 7! Some bosses still can
kill u if u dont take care ;)
So overall I think Aero did find a good balance between too easy
and impossible. The harder modes are still challenging even if I
would suggest beginners to start with an easier difficulty.

Yeah well new systems means need to balance things again.
I really should play the campaign to actually test how things
are... I admit I haven't played the campaign myself at all, just
testing chapter 7 last half year. Does anyone know a good live
stream site? I'm probably gonna live stream and play that would
be fun and new.
Okay now about the problems....
Fire Elemental too overpowered? Finally someone actually uses
it... But now it's too overpowered? What should I do? What
combat kings are too powerful and why?

After a bit more testing the fire elemental is just to powerful
to start with then it curves out nicely so that's fine, don't
change it at all it's just good enough some people might use it.
After playing a bit more there are some easy fights and some
hard fights with this particular play style but all in all it
turns out to Highly gear dependent and a bit glass cannon.
So now I feel the difficulty would be just right Except for a
few tweaks needed to stealing and digging, combat stealing
especially can be a bit tough because you really would rather
not sacrifice firepower.
P.S. I got my fire elemental to level 8 and was disappointed not
to see a new move like I did at level 4! Loved 2 things about
the elemental though, 1 the level 4 spell was awesome, 2 there
was actual incentive to level it up it's a little lame not
wanting to level spells up for the most part because the damage
gain is so small and thus rarely outweighs the cost of highly
mana usage, although I do level certain spells.

Oh, ok my elemental is bugged I ranked that spell to level 12
and only got 1 extra spell. [0,2] First - Path Of Flames at
level 4 and then nothing more.
I regards to the combat kings they aren't overpowered they are
just really leet and give some big edges its like a 2-3 more
items worth of power.
Love life steal, love magic torrent even on low mana characters
because it boosts damage and thus life stolen, berserk is really
nice because unless they are doing insanely more damage than you
are regenerating from your attacks then you will recover more as
your health drops and just kill them faster! I got my attack
speed up to 3 attacks per second base dealing about 2-3k per hit
between effects and base damage not even counting crits. So I
heal a lot :)
Although you will be happy to know as pl4ton said things get
really intense in chapter 7 my tank actually died in 1 of the
solo arena matches when the dude shot out his nearly instant
kill flame spell that follows you.

Okay I'll fix the summon.
So I'm not sure now. Is there anything that is unbalanced or
not?

Okay, we'll see that soon. Tomorrow or day after tomorrow I'll
be playing the campaign in live stream. If you hear a lot of
raging from me it means things are not quite right. [-)
