My review

Hello everyone, i´ve been here since PoE 1 was in beta and i´ve played most leagues and enjoyed most of them, over time PoE 1 became faster and faster so the only way GGG were able to balance the game was through one-taps/one shotting the player because once they have allowed to to become "godly" that is the only way forward for them to balance the game.

PoE 2 however is very slow, it´s a fresh start for them to not let us get "godly" in the sense of being unkillable, being fast as fuck through the maps and wiping the bosses in split seconds, so for that reason they are able to balance monster damage accordingly...Here´s the complaint...

Bosses still one shot you, they did fail to balance the damage aspect of monsters in general as they do more damage while you as a player do less damage.

I understand it will take some time for GGG to find the balance right between avoiding all forms of one shots as it is the poorest example possible of balancing a game which they are well aware hence PoE 2

The issue right now is that it is very noticeable that you become weaker from act to act and that is mostly due to the passive tree being very bad compared to the one we have in PoE 1, we don´t really have much choices and it doesn´t let us wander around and mix/match classes to different builds like we were able to in PoE 1

The absolute biggest complaint i´ve got that is the cause of why we are so weak in PoE 2 is that all support gems are locked behind a required level of the support gem (1-2-3), this kills builds and does not promote diversity

Being locked into 3 sockets is also an issue.

I do like everything else but the negatives does handicap you very much that it kind of takes away the joy of playing.
