Anyway, won't be playing that tonight. The Necromancer mini-expansion came out for Diablo 3. I'm going to powerlevel to 70 and get some practice in with the Necro before next season starts.
It gets easier. The comes a time in the game where combat stops being a challenge. The Sharpshot Bow is your friend and Tear arrows make it easy (Find out what machines give you echo shells as that's the primary ingredient in those arrows). Corruption arrows also work well. Also chase down the power cells for the power armour and that's it. You're essentially invincible.

Upgrading your skill tree to be able to fire 3 arrows is the best way to quickly take out enemies.

About halfway through the game I cranked the difficulty as high as it would go and it still wasn't much of a challenge.
