The game has only been open for 3 days, you need to give GGG time to improve and develop it.
Be patient, Exile.

What are you talking about? Hadnt that much time playing a Game for ages.

Imagine thinking nerfing something 90% while being not completely overpowered is balance. GGG has shown us yet again that actually somewhat balancing their game is still impossible for them.

I think it has less to do with the damage it was doing and more to do with how automated the damage was.

I think they want you to actually play the game…

That's misunderstanding what made POE1 fun.

Character progression is that you face tougher content but you also get tools that make your build easier to play.

In POE1 you can automate stuff that was previously self cast, you can apply debuffs or defensive skills without needing an extra button and so on. Those come with tradeoffs in gearing and the automated versions are weaker etc but it makes the gameplay eventually feel SMOOTH.

That's important because the end game encounters ask a lot in terms of watching for subtle ground effects, seeing boss telegraphs etc and us mere humans can't usually do all that while also managing 5+ different skills and keeping them active manually.

If the message from the recent nerf is "triggered skills are not allowed to be good" then POE2 is dead game as far as I'm concerned. Maybe I'd come back and play the full 6 acts eventually but no chance I'll do the endgame grind.

I took a week off work. I went with Sourc Cof C0met build like alot of folks. wake up and the 25 hours i put into the toon is now bricked. The game hasnt even been out for a week and GGG is bricking builds. Its not like i was 1 shotting bosses , it was good, wasnt great . So, a boss can 1 shot me no matter what my defenses are if i miss read with my dodge mechanic but if my clear speed on trash and rare packs is to fast im bricked . My week off work is almost at its end and i have no desire to play now. Its worse then taking a week off work for no reason what so ever, i took a week off , put time into the toon and was punished for it . /rant off

The thing you are missing is that the game is not out, its EA such things are bound to happen. It is not only possible but expected to get your character bricked at some point.

Then make respecs FREE if the game is in EA and to be expected simple solution
