Meh...

If I set the difficulty to normal, nothing offers the slightest resistance. If I set it to veteran, i might die in moments.

Perhaps my build is off, but i think the difference between difficulty settings is too big. Since normal is way too easy, I think I'll just go with veteran until i run into something I cant pass. I'll have to look up some more minmaxed build later on another character and see, if it changes anything.
