PoE 2 weapon skills

Hello :) I almost never post good bad or otherwise but can I say I love PoE2 im sure its not for everyone but I think it will have its fans. So far I only have one thing eating at me.... why did we take PoE1 crank the health bar to 11 and then put hand rails on builds? For instance my toon is a sorc who uses energy shield. Why try to force someone to staffs when a wand and shield provides better ES but not very many skills worth using for this kind of toon with wands. I could very well be missing something but the fun to me is the waky "that shouldnt work but did" builds. I could be the only one feeling this way but i thought with everyone screaming "to hard" i wanted to say i like the difficulty myself but if there is a vote ill take more build freedom. Thank you! GGG and great story even if i have died more times than i care to admit.
