Game is not hard its skill issue

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.

GGG should stop nerfing builds and rather boost other gems. Try to play the game as cold sorc, chaos witch or ice shot deadeye. Instead your path is literally set for each class. You just gimp yourself when you don't play spark sorc, minion witch or LA deadeye.

The comparison between those skills isn't funny anymore in terms of damage output.

on one hand it sure does feel bad if your fun skill gets nerfed.

on another, nerfing overperforming skills early allows the devs to actually balance the game better.

the problem with arpg's balance especially POE is that theres many interactions that work with each other that can have unintended consequences making them over perform.

if you "buff other builds" this could involve buffing certain stats or supports which could potentially lead to the over performing skill to be EVEN better.

path2 is still in its "infancy". theres still time to trim and make sure the game is more balanced.



i dont want the game to be like poe1 where you start of with 10 dps but are expected to get to millions of dps at the end game. players will be funneled to be hyper efficient and creativity will be stifled.

Dude, stop it, you're talking as if Tencent isn't like this in all their games, including PoE1.
THEY WILL NEVER NERF STREAMERS' BUILDS, they have a clear meta for each league and they will FORCE you to follow that meta, like we're now seeing the Mind over Mather+ES+Spark meta.
CoF was a fraction of what meta builds are and even so it was DESTROYED, not nerfed, it was completely annihilated.
The game is still in beta but it has already shown what it's made of, we have a build completely dominating the game and GGG punishing anyone who dares not follow the meta.
