i just started the game (first playthrough, taking my time casually). i beat the warden pretty easily/with no issues. then there was a guy teleporting me to another map - didn't do anything there and went back to the main map (no idea if this was right).
now i went left - everything before homested was really rough (like beating the 3 bosses took dozens of tries because they just 2-tap me) but in homested (trying to do the missions) i just get 1 tapped by every miniboss/totem.
also my damage is lacking quite a bit but my defensive stats are basically non-existent.
playing a pet build as a occultist/shaman (level 47). i have no idea about how to upgrade my gear or how to progress - it's
