I've been playing POE games for over a decade now.

I've never, not once, been in the top 10% of wealth in any league.

Hell, I'd be shocked if I was ever in the top 30%.

Yet I still had fun.

And I never once said "they should nerf that build that's better than mine"

Lastly, if GGG wants people to play a very specific way then they should just remove all the RPG elements, give us a generic character to play with and then they can make sure the game is played only as they want it played.

My main character is literally lvl97 Stormweaver, and I have endgame Gemling and Infernalist...and spark/archmage and heralds/stat stacking, cast on minion death bs should be obviously nerfed. The very reason I'm saying the builds should be nerfed is cause I HAVE played them, not because I'm NOT playing them. I don't talk about the builds I haven't played - like hexblast etc - I've got no idea there.
A brand new game came out in EA, with lots of obviously broken stuff as it is in EA, and people are crying that they are removing the broken parts - is what's going on here. People cried SO hard when they fixed absolute broken Ice Comet trigger build that GGG actually gave up on issuing balance fixes in between leagues. Does that mean the Ice Comet build wasn't broken and should have remained forever or does that matter that immature gaming community can't handle a completely OP toy being taken away from them for the health of the game? There are unironically people in this thread saying that Spark wasn't broken ffs

What have they done to my son(spark)

All this is fine with weakening all builds and reducing the speed of the game, but! Explain to me, you just didn't have enough time and you stupidly cut all the numbers without analytics, etc.? How do you explain that non-meta builds will go to the trash? How do you explain the fact that there will be nothing to collect? And when there is nothing to collect and there is no point in playing. I'm not talking about broken bolts, they should have been removed 2 months ago, I'm talking about ordinary ones like hexblast. The problem is not with the builds, but with the flash-speed monsters flying around the map. That's exactly why running speed and huge damage were needed to somehow offset such speed and aggressiveness of the mobs. At first glance, the league will be a failure, and there are a lot of reviews about it. If you really wanted to transfer everyone from your favorite classes to the huntress, then I want to disappoint you - this is a failure! For me, this patch was prepared by a schoolboy who was given a sign in excel to poke the cells to reduce everything indiscriminately! I've been waiting for more and better, and I'm very disappointed. I basically don't want to play huntress.

GGG please make PoE2 playable on lower end to medium tier PC as there is a massive memory leak and FPS stays below 30. Pretty Please We wan tot enjoy PoE2 the same what these 5k pc Builds.

Terrible TBH

POG

I Not a fan of the armor adjustment to Magma barrier. I wish it just went full fire, or used shield defenses instead of armor specifically.

Why? because there are not other options like Magma barrier, we have had shields that scale str/int or dex, and now we just got full Dex shields. I hope there is a equivalent for dex scaling shields then.

As far as I am concerned, the Parry is equivalent to raise shield, mainly because of the bash on perfect blocking they just added, and ofc the stagger thresholds between each type.

So in my mind, magma barrier stands out like a sore thumb.

I am once again requesting you give up on poe2 and return to the amazing game, poe. Let's face the music, poe2 is not fun. However, poe is very fun :D

Players were having too much fun. This had to be fixed I guess. Give the game back to the streamers.

Very interesting, I was hoping for at least one or two new chaos skills in honor of Lich's release. But even hexblast do not work with blasphemy for profane bloom now. What are you guys planning for Lich? Or we just saving up for Original Sin? xd
