Campaign Loot is abyssmal

I am in Act 3 Normal with a Witch. Life is 550, Energy Shield 150 and resistances hover around 30%. I fall over with a stiff breeze. No amount of sockets and +10% to resistance will fix my defences. If I choose defensive nodes in the tree, I lose damage and cannot kill white mobs.

I check vendors and they have garbage blue items with +25 Stun and 9% cold resist on a chest piece.

I hold my breath waiting for some decent drops from the Chimera boss and I get a white strength chest, 1 blue strength chest ,1 blue strength glove and 1 yellow strength greaves.

I am done. The campaign is boring and slow. Loot is non existent. If I engage in trade no one responds. I have over 400 hours in POE2 and 900 in POE1. I am not a casual/noob, but I feel like GGG (grinding GEAR games) has missed the mark. I am not excited to kill monsters hoping for an upgrade in my gear. I am wearing the same boots (crafted), helmet (found) and focus (bought from trade) since level 14. In 22 levels nothing. ARPG's are about the dopamine in getting loot drops. This is why the campaign is so boring. The only gear decisions I have to make is sell/salvage/disenchant. Never equip, I don't get anything to equip. That is a problem.

Last Epoch it is until this game decides what it wants to be.

Peace out

Loot really seems to be stealh nerfed, I just found one exalted, being now close to lvl40. They buffed drops in 0.1 and now its even worse than it was before the buff. Same actually goes for jewelers orbs and everything else.
