Game is not hard its skill issue

It is an early access game, of course there are going to be changes with builds. The amount of people complaining about it and the game is "hard" is just so funny to me.

I bet that this game is as easy as POE1, I might say that its way easier what I saw on the streams. Get your loot together and play.

i would say theres a middle ground somewhere.

melee is having it rougher than most.

then again theres a lot of rng involved. some people get good loot and their defences/offences become more balanced.

some over level but still have shitty loot somehow.

experiences vary greatly.

i for one am glad that ggg is making balance changes.

Honestly there are some fights that really do favor melee in some way, or it gets a whole lot easier by just standing right next to the boss rather than sitting at max range.

LOL what nonsense. POE2 is not hard its not a skill issue either it's simply a build issue. The top builds walk through the content like butter the rest get shit on it's that simple please stop trying to boost your ego.

Want to challenge my assertation? Play blood mage exclusively using chaos occult skills see what happens to your skill (you barely stratch a boss and you loose all your life to casting spells and takes 10 minutes to kill a boss), then play a arc spam build with mana tempest and storm orb and then hit 3 buttons stand still and the boss dies in 17 seconds without ever needing to move once or dodge a thing.

Poe2 is easy AF its just very few builds are good and for those who use the good builds its a cake walk. Other builds that trivialize the game is infernalist with 9k sheilds and fire wall with homing SRS that kill everything off the screen you dont even see or need to aim your skill lol, there is a monk build that is a joke, a mass pet spam build you rarely if ever need to dodge an attack the ranger builds, the merc grenade build play that stuff the game is faceroll try your own home grown build and you are likely taking dirt naps non stop. Game is terribly balanced atm give shitters the illusion they are skilled.

That made me laugh. Really laugh, not sarcastically.

100%, it based on gear and the skills you pick. You have a handful of people who stumble their way into good gear/ skill choice and all of a sudden they think they are god gamers and it inflates their ego, and they come in here to be like "git good". It especially annoying when they go and talk down to/shit on new players who are genuinely having a rough time.

Calling "skill issue" in an ARPG just means that you're not good at video games.

Full stop.

when you're ranged you can stand next to the boss if hes doing sweep that punish you for being far away. if you're ranged you can walk off to a distance if he starts swinging his melee attacks. if there are area denials you can move out of the way yet be in attacking distance from the boss. you can sneak in shots etc as a ranged character.

as melee, unless you have melee skills that do large aoe or "long range projectiles" your dps uptime would be limited. also usually melee attacks with projectile components may take a slight delay to "cast" to the point its better to just wait for another opening.

also as melee IF you want to survive tight corridors where a bunch of ranged enemies are on the other side, the best way would be to have a shield equiped, have as much block as possible and shield rush them. alternatively using a palm skill works too. the 2handed movement skill is awesome to look but lacks any form of defence. its weird that theres a slight delay before casting the skill tho. can get real sweaty where you pray you dont die.

OR we could just equip a ranged weapon and use that instead and clear the enemies from a safe distance.

i agree with you with your point but i feel that not mentioning this could be misleading info if people misinterpret it wrongly.

PERFECT.
PoE2 is much easier than PoE1 with far fewer options. Watch strumers like Empyriun, the guys kill a perma-stump-boss in milliseconds and with MF that makes it rain currency and HHs.
20k ES and immunity to choas, not to mention mana that now tanks more than life and allows you to ignore EVERYTHING in the game. It's ridiculous that anyone comes here to talk about difficulties, the problem with PoE is only the drop if you have the items in the build, this is the most trivial ARPG ever made.

i m actually happy everyone is finding all these "super strong" builds. so that ggg can decide how to balance em out.

it is EA after all. definitely some skills will overperform.
