Played a Warrior to level 75 and it was the worst experience I’ve ever had playing an ARPG. I thought from all the hype and “systems” in place to make melee amazing that the Warrior was going to be this awesome experience. It was terrible, and if anyone is still playing Warrior and having a “good” time, stop punishing yourself and play something else. It’s Early Access, so they may fix it, but I’ll be dammed if I’m ever going to play a Warrior in POE 2 ever again.	Posted by Maxxgold#3459 on Jan 16, 2025, 9:39:24 PM Quote this Post
You guys expect too much this early on. Build diversity takes time. As for warriors, hang up your shields and have fun on an alt until they're not complete piles of dog shit thats been digested by a zombified deer which was than eaten by a human who died in a hospital, his ashes cremated and tossed into the ocean where the fish feed on it. Fun things, Sad things... We can't share everything, But what we can, we should share... That is what it means to be a guild. A single persons happiness is everyone's happiness. A single persons anger is everyone's anger. And a single person's tears are everyone's tears.	Posted by scriptmonkey#2846 on Jan 16, 2025, 10:06:50 PM Quote this Post
warrior is indeed one of the weakest classes out there, with so many penalties on the passive tree, slow ass attacks, non functional defense mechanic (armour), and theyve basically taken the one single functional end game ability and totally wrecked it. The 15% of nothing "bonus" doesnt do crap and it def feels like a slap in the face. Theamazonbasin	Posted by Godfeast_1#3953 on Jan 16, 2025, 10:34:58 PM Quote this Post

It reduces the on death issues, nerfs mobs/bosses, fixes visuals that were getting me killed, AND buffs armour. I can't do damage if I am dying to things I can't see. As a side note, my Warrior is doing fine not using meta builds. The warrior isn't a terrible class, and can be played by a scrub like me following no build guides. Cool I bet your warrior is super good. Last edited by VenokDracul#4939 on Jan 16, 2025, 10:52:47 PM	Posted by VenokDracul#4939 on Jan 16, 2025, 10:52:22 PM Quote this Post

Cool I bet your warrior is super good. We can compare our non-meta builds if you'd like? I can explain how I avoid things that look like they'll be nerfed also if it helps. It really saves you from raging when they take away a mechanic you probably don't know why it works, just that the build guide says to use it.

In the 1 we can do much good melee build (CoC xxx / LS / etc) with enough invest.	Posted by hereatha#1693 on Jan 17, 2025, 11:57:12 AM Quote this Post

Don't want to play ranged. I want to hit things with a big stick and watch the screen or the boss explode.	Posted by KingRajesh#0213 on Jan 17, 2025, 3:36:25 PM Quote this Post
