POE builds are overcomplicated mess.
" What about Shaper, Elder, Eater of Worlds, Searing Exarch, Maven, Conquerors esp. Sirus, Atziri, Blight Ravaged maps, Breachlord Domains? They are not the same as going to a level 85 area in Diablo. OK, some of those are not as accessible, and you said endgame in PoE was gated. But cursorTarget already pointed out that maps are not just areas of level X, like in Diablo 2, but can be modified in different ways. And while some resemble levels you already know from the campaign, others are their own thing and also, even if they look the same, have unique bosses (again, not all of them).

Even if we accepted OP's claim that PoE would be too complicated and that builds were too complicated, what's the proposed solution to this made-up problem? Removing half the skills? Going back to 3.0?
Maybe OP should admit that really, they just want to play Diablo 2 and not Path of Exile The opposite of knowledge is not illiteracy, but the illusion of knowledge.

" You could do what any reasonable human being should. Find a new build, or if you really want to stick with cyclone for some reason an already optimized build guide. You dont need to study wiki. Its for people who like this kind of things, you can benefit from their work if you are not good enough to make your own builds. I most likely could make a decent build by myself but i still use build guides for skills i want. Why should i spent 12 hours optimizing the build if the work is already done by people who are into that shit? I would arrive to the same conclusions anyway with very minor differences. | |

Honestlu the worst part of poe builds is getting defenses. Which ones you ask, well every build has like 90% of all available defenses on the game. Arm/ es with suppress or fort/ block. Gotta have at least 59% phys as ele. Gotta have at least 60 chaos resist on ya gear, don't forget some bonus max res to feel good. Oh yeah gotta have some recoup.
Don't forget 500-1500 regen. Its stupid really. Play an assassin. Determination grace suppression. Play glad. Determination grace suppression and block. Play allow builds xetermination grace suppression. They really messed up in a bad way when a "proper" build really just has every defensive box checked. |

Not even remotely true. Grace and determination are just the easiest to implement into any build. Those you mentioned are the most basic defenses you can get. My pathfinder is using only phys as ele and suppression for example, i have flasks doing the work. You can go with armor stacker and make it work on ele dmg, you can convert everything to chaos and be done that way etc. Defenses are more diverse and easier to get then ever before. Poeple are just stuck on idea that having 75% res and 4k life is having defenses when its really the bare minimum.

you forgot about life/es on block recovery, ailment immunity, crit immunity, life/es leech, ele damage reduction, hit damage to DoT, ward and properly rolled flasks.
Oh wait? You still want to build defences? I think having 1B DPS is way profitable than stacking all dat trash together. |

" Yeah "just" go play Boneshatter. ONCE, you get enough damage to do Uber-bosses and Sanctum comfy, all of a sudden you get trauma stacks of doom that don't even allow you to fully play the build. GGG, you laugh at Diablo 4 and how bad it is. Friends, your game is nothing more than fanboi meta build pattern game that goes round and round in circles with 0 effort or skill needed to play it.

" Never seen them. In PoE endgame is locked. I usually ended up in some 12 lvl maps, but I remember playing some league, when winter orb was introduced, I couldn't pass lvl 6 maps. Just mapping for days and get only 1-6 lvl maps. I liked the mines, but when I figured out, that I should farm sulphite for two weeks just to be able to play mines at depth around 80 lvl for couple of hours, I quit. Everything is locked behind everything, 1-10 lvl maps is mine endgame. Though now with introduction of atlas skill tree things improved a lot. |
