Overcomplicating certain skills makes them feel clunky and bad

Just 1 example of dosens..- Slams.

Why cant slam skills be more powerfull at their base and just remove the god damn annoying warcries all the time.

Put bigger aoe base range for slams so make them more enjoyable.

GGG please stop overcomplicating things..

We all saw POE2 was a failure.

Keep it nice and simple and FUN.

YOU guys forgot what fun means in this game..

If you could play huge aoe, high damage, one button damage on the most defensive class/ascendancy why would anyone play anything else? You would feel like a idiot. At the moment you have to spec into other things as Jugg so you can do damage and so you aren't quite un-killable if you don't want to take 30 min per boss.

I don't necessarily agree that FOMO balancing is the way to go but that is how the vocal parts of the community want it (and probably that is a lot of the spending community).

Slams have been the meta before and "everyone" complained.

The slams werent ,,slams,, before and they didnt have any stupid warcries.

It was much better back then and the game was actually fun.


Can ur brain make the difference between 1 button demand and too overcomplicated game.

Nobody is asking for 1 button game.

I mean, it's not even a good insult when it's relevant, and it would be hard to be less relevant than here. Ironic that you'd insult someone over their lack of comprehension when they made a perfectly valid contextual assumption about your point.

Even as someone who fundamentally agrees that complicating slams with multiple shouts is bad, nothing about your posts in this thread would make me inclined to agree with you or work toward your request as GGG.

Good advice is to ignore slams (edit: that use warcries) once the league starting phase is over. Their ceiling is way too low on trade leagues.

Its gameplay variety, some players will love stacking the warcries just right for a big bonk, some players will copy pasta a nimis projectile build and just blast as fast as possible.

All changing the first into the second does is lose the players that enjoy that playstyle, this is exacerbated in PoE where an overwhelming majority of players go for a premade build and don't really care what the skill is regardless.
Id say transitioning from a slow clunky playstyle to something performant is the natural way in a trade league economy.

Higher ceiling, better survivability more damage, faster clear, more loot, more currency.
Trade leagues are driven by efficiency and if i had to guess those Berserker numbers (seems like someone made the golden starter build for slam of snoozing) will plummet pretty hard soon.
My slammer manually casts 2 warcries, enduring and rallying and rallying is the only one I need to keep up for more exerts lol. It's not complicated at all. Most of my mapping is just holding down the move button and tapping my Earthshatter key every few steps lol.

Slammer is probably one of the best builds out of the gate and scales super well.
