There is no power fantancy in this game how do you call it a ARPG

For most people that arnt the top 2% blasters the game does not make us feel powerful til we are nearly in the end game and even than some classes take well into the end game to be able to actually feel good to use

there is no true power feeling in this game, Most white mobs take way to many hits, most rares are some bs that force you to be right next to them to damage them and every step of the way gear is worthless as most upgrades come in +skill's on gear and the player will use massively under lvl items well into the maps because of this

this is exactly dogshit to play simple as that ggg, Make your skills actually feel useful, let us combo them around and make good new builds, All we got right now is the same bs 2-4 builds everyone runs every league becuse theres no fucking powerrrrr in 99% of things

you should really not call this a ARPG at all, An if you want to fix it stop nearfing every thing fun into the ground insted bring things up too that level and let us enjoy ourselfs

THIS!
If you want a power fantasy, play Warframe or PoE1.

I'm glad PoE2 hasn't yet devolved into a game where you 1shot everything or it 1shots you.
PoE players: Our game has a wide diversity of builds.

Also PoE players: The [league mechanic] doesn't need to be nerfed, you just need to play a [current meta] build!

Tell me ur playing an es build without telling me ur playing an es build
Perhaps the problem is your made up definition of ARPG.

To be an ARPG it needs just two things.

Action - As in, not turn based.
RPG - Role Playing Game

Power fantasy has nothing to do with it. That might be the role you want to play (which you very much can in POE2), but it has nothing to do with it being and ARPG or not.
Same 2 to 4 builds huh?


Not the games issue if this is what you think. This is a limitation on your build making skills or recognition as well.

You not being able to get 200k+ armor is telling more on yourself than it does me.
