Diablo 4 players are seriously struggling with the Butcher after the latest patch, as well as other areas of the game like Nightmare Dungeons.
Diablo 4's patch 1.1.0 kicked into gear earlier this week, blasting out a wide range of nerfs basically affecting every elite build in the game. Players have seen their builds decimated by the new patch, and nowhere is that more evident than when facing off against intimidating foes like the Butcher.
It took just four seconds for the Butcher to utterly obliterated this player, who was running a true endgame level 94 Storm Tornado Druid build. Another player in the comments admits they had to use a Scroll of Escape within 30 seconds of facing the Butcher after the new patch. Hey, there's no judgment here.

Blizzard is well aware of just how badly
