I have to agree, especially around defenses, but with skills, too. Right now with many bosses, what's the point of having defenses, if they can 1-tap you, anyway? We may as well throw away defenses and go full-glass cannon, because it's not going to make a difference on how much damage the bosses do.

yeap, there is no reason to build defense if bosses can 1tap u .
GGG needs to understand this otherwise there will always be a meta for glass cannon builds and not well balanced build.

GGG is probably stuck in some form of logic loop here. Back in 0.2, during the interview with Zizaran, they mentioned that they don't pay that much attention to defenses, because players enjoy building for damage more.
So players aren't building defense, because they get one shot anyways. Meanwhile GGG isn't putting much work into defenses, because people don't build for it. It's just going in circles.

exactly and yet they keep repeating the same nonsense about meaningful combat that they ALREADY REACHED, now all they need is to balance the defenses.

Totally agree!

isn't Electrocuting Arrow useful to electrocute bosses anymore? i'm guessing it still is, however i have to agree a lot of skill are overly restricted in how/what they can or can't do and how well they scale, effectively eliminating them from both aoe clear and dps check scenarios in favor of other skills.

ever since playing poe1 years ago i've enjoyed the feel and aim of simple skills like Sunder, but it just feels garbage with super slow speed, requiring (and removing!) fully broken armor to make full use of the skill.

Playerbase: We don't enjoy jumping through too many hoops to make a skill viable.

GGG: what if we make the hoops extra cool with flaming stickers?

This is the same devs that decided Spell totems,and entire playstyle,should be relegated to CHARGES instead of just placing them normally.

Do not expect them to care for the currently unused skills for God knows how long

Good. Cast on X trash already pollutes the game. AFK 'playstyle' should be dismantled at every opportunity.

Fragmentation Rounds

I don’t agree with these two spells. I’m following Witch Hunter Phox’s build and it works perfectly for me.
I’ve been using only these two spells from level 1 all the way to the endgame.

and how does this build feels in End game ?
i leveled a witch hunter whit that combo it felt fairly good and fun even whit the small radius , but scaling the dmg for those skills in end game sucks they feel very weak .

Indeed. Also for Gemling Legionnaire are double weak. Need at least 40-60% increased damage with no further penalties.

spear of Solaris
Thunderous Leap(remove the + to cast time)
explosive spear
fang of frost
escape shot
electrocuting arrow
magnetic salvo
spiral valley
glacial lance
Armour Piercing Rounds
Fragmentation Rounds
Permafrost Bolts

This list is so weird. You mention escape skills, you only mention 2 classes, and Freezing isn't as hard to apply as you think.

Stop bumping this garbage. Your feedback is bad. Go play the game more.

i mentioned the skills i played whit
also what is weird about mentioning escape skills ?
do u see the player base use them ?
only in rare scenarios ppl use those skills ,"pounce" is a great example for a movement skill the others suck ,why? because pounce has a 0.2 sec delay and the others 0.6+
also what freezing has to do whit what i said on the topic?
its not the issue of applying freeze which can be annoying on bosses since u can not freeze them once u already froze them (u can but there a lets call it a "cd")
the issue whit some of the skill is the aoe radius of those skills in some cases the target system of the controller and whit some skills the dmg itself of the skill or the limited scaling it has.

controller is a different topic by itself thats why i didnt even mention it .
also this is my feed back if u dont like it dont replay .
