Increase the drop rate of rare items on lower level

right now im level 46 and i feel like the game is spiking in difficulty too much compared to the gear your getting even with RNG. its hard to prepare for the game later with good defense and damage , and most times you get killed pretty fast as a melee guy

i have half blue and half rare items on my guy which feels like i should have had way more, i love the difficulty but there needs to be a balance between how your able to gear your character and the difficulty of the game

I agree with this. PoE 2 has too far a few alchemy orbs and rare items dropping. Needs a big increase IMO.
