Why streamers are ruining this game.

First of all this patch was the first time GGG hit the poe2 spot on. The game got content, got harder but also it shows to you the means of getting rewards. Leveling it pretty much a long tale but it's also entertaining, from my point of view, but if u are some1 with nothing to do in life, leveling will be frustrating because it will take too much of your daily time, and u won't reach the end in the usual required time. But so what? they filled several gaps in the history, the gave u something more linear(a constant time history) and not a repetition of the same old unfulfilled story. Following this path of reasoning, i've been hearing comments that streamers are saying the game is too difficult melee classes are suffering. Well i'm sorry to hear the streamer community is not able to sell their product so well with the current game state, but the game doesn't need to fit streamers demand neither streamer's fanboys.

IT's Time to Learn Never Later To Start

People from poe are extremely dependent on streamers, that the most bizzare thing i can see in a game. The game is complex bu Path of Building 2 is here and is the perfect tool to make most builds viable and sincerely it's time to make the thing u call brain to work. There are a few steps to make a endgame build which u can follow or also develop your own.

Given a class and ascendancy answer those questions?

(1)What will be my main damaging skill?
(2)What will be my main debuff stats? meaning are u going to reduce resistance, bleed, before u take others, u need to choose a main one. Ok?
(3)Choose ascendancy skills that have synergy with either (1) or (2).
(4)One important thing is, do you like to play dark souls like, rolling to one side and another and be able to tank 1 to 2 hits, or like a medium tank or heavy tank? U must decide that also because this will impact in the number of defense layers u will aggregate into your passives.
(5)After the first 4 have been answered, u will open pob2 and make a choice between pure offensive( when leveling it's common not to care so much about defensive stats but keep in mind this will add extra cost at the end game), pure defensive, or the most usual the equilibrium.
(Useful tip here if u are melee and can use a shield, use it, specially with higher block chance, this will increase your survivability tons of times.
[Tracking Useful Nodes]
To track the nodes u need to allocate that makes the most difference in your build, go to pob 2 on the bottom center, there is show node power. Don't forget to add only ur main skill to full dps. You can add other filler skills but only with they dmg types relates well with the main skill.
Than choose the full dps option on the drop box next to it, and u will see some red nodes on pob2 passive tree showing up. Those red nodes are the ones u want the more red the more damage they do, now when the computation is done, click show power report and u will see a list of the passives choose to order by the Per Point column.
Here comes the important thing choosing the nodes that makes sense, this search path of building does is only a guide is not an exact solution, u need to assure that at each main node u choose u rerun the power report so it updates the tree coloring and full dps accordingly.

In the end use streamers to grab ideas don't use streamers to be your ideas.

Why streamers are ruining this game.


I have seen this same sentiment in other games like Diablo and Borderlands. Nothing new and it will keep happening. I don't think streamers are ruining the game, but they do have influence to gamers and devs.

It's up to the audience and source to react. Unfortunately, this has nothing to do with the game. This is just human nature in general.

I could tell you the same thing how streamers are ruining chess or programming. I could also tell you how streamers are ruining exotic pet handling. The point it has nothing to do with the game.

Thank you very much for putting it so clear. I moved things in to the scope of the game, but in reality there is a lack o willpower from most people. I must agree the game has nothing to do with it, i just titled it they way i did because things will go downwards as it seems if everybody involved don't really start playing the game.
