I experienced the same issues with my ele in AC.
Stat cap on power is 720 which I reached before June 23 even without food.
Now I have only 511 power with full ascended zerk gear. Eating Plate of Steak and Asparagus (80 power, 60 precision) gives another 12 power.
After switching around a bit on builds I solo the spiderqueen almost as fast as I did before.
BUT: I used to solo AC P3 quite often. The burrows in the lover’s crypt got instantly destroyed with a single meteor shower or ice storm while having 0 might. They were even down before the skills ended damaging. Currently the ice storm only takes away 80% while having 6 might. Due to destroying them too slowly elite’s spawn besides the masses of small ones, i get perma knocked down and damaged and I can’t solo the path anymore. The 15 burrows were easy, now I fail / am dead before the 10th even spawned.
Is this new scaling a bug or intended to make low-level content more challenging? In the first case I would appreciate a fix. If it’s the second… I don’t even know. Unexploited soloing of AC would be much harder in that case.
