POE builds are overcomplicated mess.
I had a look at current metas and realized I don't want to play any of this builds.
What do you expect from diablo like game? You choose barbarian, get two handed weapon and crash you enemies to the ground, right? No. Here barbarian must harm himself to fight enemies. There is no valid melee barbarian build in game. What sorceres does? Armed with magical wands cast spells? Wrong again. The only half decent witch build I found is about fire something totems, but it requires a bow with almost impossible color sockets, I can't craft those. Bow, sorceres. You now, when your game is 10 years old and every 3-4 month you add skills, gems, mechnics and nerf everything, nothing good will happen. The lowest point of the game in my opinion was when they nerfed Cyclon, and this was the stupidest nerf ever. Cyclon doesn't depend on weapon range, what? I still play my old cyclon maradeur just because I like playing barbarian, crashing everyting with big two handed axe. Though he doesn't crash much nowadays and straggle even with some rare monsters. I just don't want to play whirlwind with some skinny duelist armed with rapiras or staves. It hurts my sense of reality. Last bumped on Dec 6, 2023, 3:41:56 AM

" There are so many super easy builds for people who like it simple. For melee just go play Boneshatter Juggernaut, or Frostblades Trickster, or do whatever the hell you want because the choice is yours to make I dunno what kinda crap build guides you have been looking at but you could'a just asked for recommendations? PoE is complex, asking for help is good. The opposite of knowledge is not illiteracy, but the illusion of knowledge.

" Well, every decent build in PoE is super easy, that is another problem of the game. I had much more troubles in Diablo 2 Act 1 normal, than here mapping. You literaly just destroy everything on screen with almost any popular build map after map, and then on fifth or six map you just got wanshoted from full health for no apparent reason. I saw boneshatter build, not bad but something about it turned me away, already forgot what. |

Come to play on Ruthless HC and play Pathfinder EoW Arcanist Brand. You will change your opinion.

Stop looking at meta builds and all your problems will disappear.

Current build problem. This is that you need to buy an expensive unique item (some even have 2-3 unique expensive items) before your build starts working. Before you buy the items, you have to level up on a build that you don't want to play on.

" Plenty of cheap ass builds that are a ton of fun, I don't get your point The opposite of knowledge is not illiteracy, but the illusion of knowledge.

" Yes. And why have so much fake selection in the tree when most of it is pure waste? So either I have no life or I don't do any harm or even both are not possible? and in the end only the best of the worst options are played? heh???? I know the strategy from other projects where devs just don't want to do anything. ruin everything that works so people can switch to something else. Of course, no one cares that you have wasted time and a lot of resources for months. and then also an artificial reset every few months... and these mini patches are not worthy content for me. I can see straight away that the guys' budget is extremely small and coder resources are extremely limited. | |
" depends on the content. and there are apparently no all-round builds. Without 6x portals many things would be possible. but not like that. and there is still trash content with 1x life. therefore what? | |
" That is literally Boneshatter right now, one of the strongest and least complicated builds. Can even play it ssf, no problem, doesn't rely on expensive uniques. Skinny Rapier guy can handle two handed axes just as well btw, lol. But if something turns you away from playing actual good builds, then i guess nobody can help you... |
