You have no idea what the most played build is. GGG might release those figures, but they might not. POE2 Ninja only reports the toons on the ladder, which are going to be heavily influenced by Day Minus-One streamer analysis.

Deadeye isn't even the "meta" for all leagues. Lich edges out Deadeye in HC, which should already tell you there's more than one very strong build.

Oh wow, there's TWO!? Good interjection... Smh. Go actually play other skills and see for yourself how weak most of them feel. There's an OBVIOUS balance issue across the board, for players AND monsters.

I posted my invoker in my signature because I got so tired of reading posts like this. It's virtually a one-button build. I only use ice strike unless fighting a boss or a hefty rare. Built in SSF on league start.

They are listening to their customers. For tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of people this game kicks ass...I know it doesn't seem like that but this forum and reddit is filled with negativity because people who have a negative experience post more than those enjoying the game.

Actually, i play deadeye because it's easier, not because of speed or because of streamers or whatever. I tryed witch, i don't like the gameplay and the early game is too weak. Melee can't hit while moving, so in wasd it feels bad. And mercenary or whatever the name of the dude just less cool than the ranger (ranger with dye skin for remove helmet is pretty stylish).


And plz, karen, stop speak about "customers right". Playing a game doesn't give you any right about what is it or what it should be. Just give feedback, no need to be a KAREN THAT WANT TO SPEAK TO THE MANAGEEEEER.

My Tactician at 74 is already doing more damage AND feels a lot hardier than I did at any point in 0.2 and I already felt really strong in that League so I don't know man I guess we're up to 3 at least. My brother's playing Warbringer and says it feels at least as strong as Invoker did in 0.1 so is that 4? Is hearsay allowed?

deadeye isnt the best. people are incapable of critical thinking and need to be told whats good and what to play.

Crossbow lich is stronger and faster than any deadeye, but have fun on your deadeye.

Want to see whats actually strong, simply wait. all the really strong stuff is just now coming out, or people are keeping it secret.

the assumption that everyone is playing deadeye and as such everything else sucks is a fallacy.

the best stuff is never the most popular. good stuff are popular, the best stays secret, sometimes even up to a year or years never told to anyone. some stuff people never discover till its nerfed. tons no one know about but GGG knows about them. however because their played less than 0.01% of the time they lack visibility. no one searches low play rate stuff.

sidenote: We are not hero's. We aren't even good guys. Its cool and all playing that kind of role, but most people likely dont care about the story or roleplay at all.

I do like power progression but personally i think the progression is too accelerated and the game speed is too high to be different from PoE 1, whoch is the goal. Id like to see slower or more long term progression goals, and less enemies that are stronger so we can have the more engaging gameplay and combo gameplay.

you simply cant have engaging gameplay when theres hubdreds of enemies on screen.

maybe the early game is supposed to only be the engaging part. not sure if thats a large enough distinction from PoE1 when maps is the primary goal of players, not campaign progress.

DA with the facts again

+1

Krymore for another 3.5 months and then when a new league release come back and complain about the next builds. Rinse, repeat, rinse, repeat.

Same old every ARPG game.

yeah invoker is really good - especially if you use the combo tech and 1 or 2 shot most bosses (incl. pinnacle ones).

and my Monk isn't that high level wise either - just hit lv 87 but so far it's a blast - also started doing T15 maps at lv 78 when i switched to crit.

my build in case anyone is wondering - it's not optimal and maybe just going shattering palm instead of storm wave would be better but so far i enjoy the range option of storm wave more.

also all the gear but the amulet (wich was a steal for +3 base at 1 div when i bought it with 1 pre and suffix open) and the prismatic ring were self crafted

What the hell are you guys talking about LMAO

There are numerous interviews, composed of streamers taking community questions voted by their own viewers or reddit threads where they go into details about answering player's issues, and they often knew what the people were gonna talk about before the question was over.

Of course they read and listen.

0.1 and 0.2 has numerous improvement about map size in act 3, endgame maps number of tries, tower layout and biome improvement and that's just a few examples of the top of my head.

Do you think sprint wasn't a solution to something asked by the userbase? What about multiple support gems of the same type?

I swear you guys are wierd
