For beginners (rather new player), there are hundreds of written guides/videos that can help a lot. And of course with enough patience and adjusting build.
If someone remember the days which:
- 501 cp and everything hits really hard
-Crematorial Guard roasting you alive
-Almost impossible for stamina classes (no VO, no dual wield meta, stam sorc was a myth, just wrecking blow spam)
- No guaranteed weapons from weekly mail
- No saved progression
You would know that vma is an absolute cakewalk now. It never got nerfed directly, but thanks to power creep and CP increase trash mobs die in no time + you can mitigate so much more damage. And no question it was the #1 contributor to teach players L2P (not saying this in a bad way).
It's not melee friendly.
Bad design for stamina users.
Its 500% more easy for mage sorserers and this is freaky frustrating disbalance.
Many things works still (2 years...) not as intended.
And client-server delays doing vMA especially "interesting".
And, in next patch only maelstrom bow will be actual, so Zenimax, great job, we feel your respect to players.
