T17 maps and modifiers are THE WORST thing that happened to POE

My build is fine the way it is lol, and I'm not about to spend weeks farming divines to copy some overpriced meta build just to run these ridiculously designed maps. That's bad game design, and should change. Its unacceptable.


Farming divines to get better gear to farm more divines is literally what end-game mapping is about. Your lack of interest in engaging in this behavior is the only data point needed to completely invalidate your opinion. Thank you for repeatedly making this point clear, ensuring no one at GGG takes anything you have to say about T17 mods seriously.

Do you think I can run all the T17 mods with this MB i pulled out of a Voidborn last night?

sacrificing survivability for overwhelming damage.


Yes, that's what my build is. It has 200 mil boss dps, its perfect.[/quote]

If you truly had 200 million damage, which, to be absolutely clear, you don’t, as not even a fraction of that is visible in your PoB, you wouldn’t be struggling with any content in the game. At that level of power, you would trivialize nearly everything with ease.

Yet here we are, seeing complaints that T17 maps are “too hard” or “cringe,” or blaming various aspects of the game for being unfair walls. The reality is that these barriers exist because your build lacks the power to overcome them, not because the content is flawed. It’s far easier to blame the game than to admit your build isn’t performing.

No, your build does not “work fine”, and that’s been pointed out repeatedly by many players, especially more experienced ones whose feedback is definitely worth listening to. At some point, it’s important to take their advice seriously.

Instead of leaning on inflated numbers that don’t hold up under scrutiny, adopt a mindset focused on improvement. Analyze, adjust, and iterate. The real ceiling isn’t the content, it’s your willingness to be honest about your build’s shortcomings and do the work to improve it.

Semi-relatedly, it dropped with bad rolls. I had to use FOUR DIVINES to reroll it, and it still doesnt have perfect stats. This is terrible game design by GGG. Those divines were my precious currency I got from over 200 alch n go T15's (T16's are just too hard!) and it is ridiculous that GGG made me use them to craft my unique belt! YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE TO CRAFT UNIQUES.

I will continue to make post about this until GGG fixes magebloods and divines.

T17 layouts suck, the enemies there are annoying to fight. And the modifiers are annoying to roll. +1 to balancing them so the average player can actually enjoy them.

-1. @GGG, if you balance for bad builds and bad players, you will have a bad game.

Based.

On topic, if anything, they should introduce even more T17 maps for variety and the new Ubers.
new t17 layouts for the new ubers is on my 3.27 bingo card

They saw all that gold and knew it was time for business.
