DO NOT make your own build in EA

Не читал но автор дурак.

It's precisely what I will do - create my own 'poor quality' and 'not-working' builds, instead of chasing the >0.0072341 Divine per second, per square centimeter of your mouse pad surface area, guaranteed!!< style of gameplay, which I chased too many times in the past.

A completely new gaming experience is a too good an opportunity to waste it with 'efficiency' and 'viability' :)

This is typical behaviour in today's day and age, when everything has a tier list and a meta build guide. People play games to boost their egos and 'win' something, instead of having fun and challenging themselves.

This syndrome is especially prominent in people who tried poe1 before and failed miserably, it is ingrained in their psyche that they'll never succeed unless they follow a build guide.

what an odd thing to say, this is actually the ONLY time when you can go hog wild with your own builds.

This is typical behavious in today's day and age, when everything has a tier list and meta build guide. But people play games like farming simulator to waste their time and randomly clicking stuff on the screen instead of having fun and completing the challenges the game provides to them.

This syndrome is especially prominent in people who tried poe1 before and failed miserably, and plan to do the same in poe 2.

Fixed it.

Not everybody is like you, some people can cross the street without having their hand held whilst someone is stopping traffic for them.

And what will you experience if I may ask?

Say you want to experience "Atziri". How will you experience her, if your build is so bad that you cannot even pass the guards?

How will you feel? It will not be even "trying to fight her and failing". You will not even know how she looks.

(Of course, I am talking about her, but this may be ANY content.)

Obviously if you want to know how it feels to fight her, and be satisfied by beating her, your build has to cover specific standard.

If you are capable of designing such build on your own, and on the go - you have my admiration. But I seriously doubt that this is the case for most people.

I will drink to that!

One of the most fun things you can do in a game like this is make your own builds.

I've not had a lot of time to play this year, so every league I 100% started with a guide and usually intended to then do my own thing after I've gotten some currency but noticed I hadn't done that in ages.
So I tried just playing a new character in PoE 1, not planning ahead with pob, just playing and going from there.

Honestly while no where near meta the build did just fine and even over performed compared to my expectations in many instances.
