I think no one is hating you. Forums can have different effect on people, if you feel like that, then something is not right with you atm, it can be personal problems in real life, or you spent too much time on forum which can be bad in combination with hot summer sometimes. If that's a case, take few days off so brain can rest from thinking. I usually read 70% of posts, avoiding long posts, but since I don't know much about game mechanics like some others, its not good to see opinions from me.

You take other people's comments too seriously. In my experience, 99% of people on this planet are concerned mainly about themselves and even if they comment someone else for good or bad, they remain neutral for the most part. There is nothing wrong with this, it's nature. You are the one that is supposed to care for yourself. In your own world, YOU are the #1 character, as I am in mine. Don't let your inner enemies prevail.

If you want to improve in skill, you can try the following:
1. Play hardcore.
2. Set limitations for yourself to make it even harder.
3. Don't rely on outside help or advices for a while, just think and decide.
4. While playing with increased dificulty you may hit the sweet spot, where you don't just play a game, but you are "living it", exactly in the moment. For me, this is what gaming is all about, much more important than winning ot losing. If it happens to you, dont miss it ;)

They've never used words like "noobs" or whatever.

There's definitely harder games out there, especially in this genre. It just takes time to perfect, like anything else in life. I still remember my first time against Typhon when I first got the game and got extremely angry at how I could die like 20 something times because my build was far from perfect and I had absolutely no clue what was going on (I think I had a Hunting+Earth build then. Or was it Nature+Earth with a focus on bows? It was horrible.) but I later tried many different classes, different gear, razing my level, and then I kicked his ass for all those deaths he caused! Every loss is a gain. A gain in experience of what to do next time.
Also, please don't think yourself the most hated person on the forum due to people trying to help you out. Besides you've got more balls than I do. I rarely post anything about my characters due to being afraid of criticism and here you are asking for help and actively talking back and forth with the other users. But please, don't lose hope in the game because of this one trouble, figure it out. Endure.

I don't really know if it's because of class combo or playstyle or what.
I've played many different class combos and I don't know if I even have a playstyle.

It doesn't help when the anniversary edition is much much harder now.
I managed to get past normal Hades on a brigand by a pattern of dodge, shoot bow, dodge, shoot bow.
Th...that probably won't work on this version.

its been a well-documented issue with TQ for its entire lifespan that normal is much more difficult than epic. TQAE definitely seems more difficult to me than previous versions. It's important to remember that it is just a game and the ultimate goal is to have fun rather than win.

DeepBlue I only a read a few pages of this thread thoroughly and skimmed the rest, but have you tried a StoneSpeaker (Rune + Earth)?  Rune is a super powerful mastery IMO, I am absolutely slaying without much pre-planning, and Earth makes the perfect support mastery for it.

Starting strategies:
1) Aim to use the new throwing weapons.  I'm getting some unique and MI throwing knives quite often and they have great damage and speed.
2) Use a shield.  Points into Feather Rune to keep strength requirements low.
3) Attribute points mostly in Intelligence and Dexterity.
4) Buff yourself with Earth Enchantment, Ring of Flame, Heat Shield, and Rune of Life.
5) Rune Weapon on LMB, ThunderStrike on RMB.

Granted I'm only level 20 on my way to Memphis in Normal right now, but unless the game throws a severe curveball I see myself steamrolling for quite a while.

I sort of feel you, whenever I die in ARPGs I want to slash my veins with a chainsaw. But you shouldn't put that pressure on yourself... cause dying is necessary to learn. (did I just said that o.O)

Most of the time, dying is the fault of the player, whether its level is too low (and it doesn't sound like it's your problem), your gear isn't optimal, your resistances are too low, etc. If we could see pictures of your gear and your character's stats, it would help us all to figure out where the problem is.

On a side note, 8 deaths at Act 4 normal isn't that bad at all. I recall my first character had 100+ deaths before I reached Typhon, and begged for help online to get through it... and yeah, the char was so bad it didn't lasted long in Act 4 on it's own. (And this was pre-AE too)

I don't really know to post an image of my gear.
Also if I can't finish Act IV then I'm probably not even going to make a dent in the start of Act V.

Also if I'm doing poor damage as a mage type, that it kinda defeats the point of a mage type char.
I always thought the point of mage types is low defense and high offense (like the opposite of....say....a conqueror)

also if you had 100 deaths when you first started.
I've been playing this game for years, when it first came out.
Can't remember how many hours on the original, but on the Steam version I have 689 hours and 197 on AE
So I'm not new to this.

Not so much taking screenshots itself, but taking screenshots of gear.
Do I hover over each one, then crop the window out of the whole image and do that many many times?

You could spare yourself the effort to crop everything... as long as we see your gear stats.

Wouldnt that result in lots of really large screenshots just for small portions of them?
I also don't know good image share site that doesn't require a login and definately doesn't require a paid membership (seriously, the few I've been registered to end up doing this)
I'm not going to use the attachment system because I think I heard somewhere to stop uploading there since it's getting pretty full or something.

My current char is a Druid, I have no idea if it's even right for me. (and there's probably no beginner's mage type class)
I'm using all the summons (because hell yes, personal army)
Some have suggested ways to redistribute skills but those haven't worked.
