I don't know how you guys are doing hardcore act 4 (or why lol). Almost that whole act is rip city.
I haven't died yet but I'm also in warband league and haven't fought Malachai. Piety was annoying but not OP. Daresso was worse.
IMO they overdid the bosses in that act. Sooner or later they'll be nerfed. Malachai already was.
I'm actually not really enjoying act 4. Maybe it's because I'm used to acts 1-3 so they're familiar and comfortable. Act 4 feels tedious. Kaom's maps were especially tedious. I thought Lunaris Temple level 3 was bad (now level 2) but act 4 takes the tedium to a whole new level. I kinda can't wait to get this crap over with and get back to the fun maps in the next difficulty.
My favorite farming map in act 3 used to be Catacombs. It's higher level and easy to run. The waypoint to get to it used to be right next to it. Was a good place to find low level maps.
