THE STATE OF PATH OF EXILE 2.....

Have you tried to git gud?
This many hours and you're broke in Act 2?
Bro Ive leveled so many characters, several in ssf and hc ssf and I've never been broke enough to cry on the forums.
There's a million guides to help you.

stopped reading after 3 viable builds.

there's 12 builds that make the entire story trivial

there's 6 more ontop of that that clear faster then your fav youtube/streamer "meta"

skill issue. move some points in the tree into GetGud, and try again.

You are right there loads of different builds that's why there is almost half the player base playing 1 type of build..... Deadeye, Bloodmage, Lich, Invoker, Infernalist. and these builds only repeat in all leagues just different orders and the 2 with Merc build literally have the forenames classes underneath them

the there is the same 4 builds but just in different ordered depending upon what league settings you are playing as for getgud its spelt GOOD but also you are only 31/40 challenges this season AND you havn't completed all your trophies so telling someone to get good who HAS all those things and does those things in multiple seasons is a bit redundant


The problem I was having was I stupidly and I mean STUPIDLY put defence SKILL POINTS in my tree (because obviously I presumed you needed to).but since I have now fully unspec'd the defence nodes and swapped them of damage point and I mean ALL OF THEM my build is blasting. I'm not at the end of campaign in 1 day so yeah the game is totally perfect and balanced... remember dont use defence nodes it makes the campaign experience terrible...
