Waiting for 2025 patches releases for now

Great game, but some things are definitely to be changed or tweaked

Being a 7k hours HC-only veteran, i've the following concerns or things to say -

1)

It feels that a lot of skills are gated behind a lot of hours or levels.

It's always 2-3 skills to be played at the early stage, and you don't really have a lot of options in the following acts

I've really liked the PoE1 gem-system. You get all skills at lvl 28, lvl 31 for supports, and lvl38 for end-supports
Basically - lazy 2-3 hours and you can check all the gems there are

In PoE2, i've spent hours to get to Firestorm (lvl41) gem to see that it's... garbage

2)

Being EA and that's understandable, but right now there's literally 3-5 builds that are SSF-viable

1) Gas archer-minions
2) SRS + Arsonists
3) Melee titan
4) Deadeye gas arow

That's it, i don't think i've seen anything else past after lvl40+ lol


3) Minions are garbage

Only SRS \ Arsonists \ Snipers are viable, especially in the campaign


4) The link system is somewhat decent, but the link system in PoE1 is way better in my subjective opinion

Searching for a jeweler orb to get a clumsy 3-link? really?


5) Support gems

Only 1 support gem per...is that really a good choice?
Maybe it would, if there would be more gems overall. I guess, that's a matter of time



I mean if we'd have melee splash or something that would help melee minions they wouldn't feel utter garbage as they are now





Also i thought that there are not really a lot of unique items that are helpful for the acts, but that's changing in the future as well



The only thing i hate about is - limitations. It feels a lot like D4 and it's bad
