I've played every patch of this game since release and have never felt this weak

What did you guys do with the game? What happened?

White mobs chunk half your hp bar
Every skill feels terrible to use
Rare mobs take forever to kill
Deflection sucks
Evasion nerfed so EV/Es hybrids feel even worse

What did you guys do.....

The vision.

If feels like GGG wanted to make a game like "No rest for the wicked" / "Dark Souls" but with an endgame.

PoE 2 is trying to be both:

* Campaign finished after 3-4 months = game complete (for normies), you can now look forward to the next "campaign league"

and also:

* Campaign finished = You can soon start playing a non-scuffed character
(more hard core people)



The people over at GGG like Jonathan is in the first category, which is why they are OK with the souls like experience of dying to shit and not being able to attack until you find a window in between all the explosions and kite the crowd of mobs from the abyss.

The goggles.. They do nothing!

The game just does not feel good. I hesitate to say it’s bad but it’s definitely not fun. The vision for everything to have to combo, run around to pick up infusions, sprint with negative consequences for no damn reason just feel like constant choices they’ve made to string the game out longer than it needs be. I know it’s early access and they are experimenting with different things but I feel like we’ve gone backwards 2 straight leagues now.
