Ok!?



Maybe I expressed myself incorrectly, but the skill system has been made unnecessarily complicated.
For example, with Skill A, I have limited supporters available. Why do I have to pull supporters from Skill B to socket them into Skill a ? I don't need that much brainpower for PoE 2 either.

Was literally JUST telling someone that the tree is really basic - it's like going to a restaurant and seeing a fancy name for something, and it's really just a basic salad. The guys that are like "it's just you" are very likely following someone else's build and didn't make their own (no hate), and haven't spent much time looking at the tree and pathing options. I do think it will get there, but the current tree, and to an extent gearing options and gems, are relatively bland. I'm playing stormweaver and pathing my own tree/build and switched to archmage after the last wave of nerfs and I absolutely agree there just aren't a lot of options. If anyone actually spends time CREATING a build, and not just spouting off bUt1500sKilLPoInTs they'll see the tree is very basic, almost linear. It's ok, it's EA, but it LOOKS like way more than it actually is.

I've been slow to get into it after patches dropped so frequently and harshly - people will say it's bc GGG is "in tune", but I would say if they were in tune, they wouldn't need to do such massive adjustments so frequently (which I believe they already planned). I get EA things will change, but it's changing way too fast.

Gameplay in maps gets much better than campaign, but the 1 portal thing is kinda sucky, though gives me a tiny taste of that hardcore adrenaline (I'm a fan of 6 portal defense).

IMO they should be focused on getting some of the missing content released rather than "fixing" stuff that seems like was broken on purpose.

2nd patch in a row my build is getting shit on btw -.-

Some really have to learn to enter into a discussion objectively without getting personal.

Thanks for the remaining feedback and I look forward to more.

there‘s a little checkbox bottom left in the support gem window, which makes you only see recommended gems.
uncheck the box and you can see all available gems.

Is it possible that I'm completely alone with this opinion? Even though this game is in the EA stage,
I don't understand the hype at all because the game is really bad for me.
The skill system is not well thought out and unnecessarily complicated.
The passive tree looks structured at first glance but offers very limited options for customizing your build.
It feels like I'm playing pre-made builds like in Diablo 4. Even though many skills are available, it feels monotonous.

What do you think about it?

trashtalking at it's finest.
what build did you make thats running t15?
ofc there aren't much options yet, 60% of the skills and supports are missing.

you all had a really good time in PoE1 and now you don't trust GGG for poe2.



Allrighty then, good talk. Seem like you are here to rant, not much more.

Trashtalking? Bro re-read what I said. They had 90% of these patches and adjustments planned. It keeps engagement on streams and playerbase because there is always something new happening. It's pretty obvious manipulation. And it's because of my experience from POE1 that I believe this is happening lmao, because they did it in that too.

Anway, I've been pretty casual and running up to t14 atm. As far as "making a build" I'm doing my own version of cast on minion death, which I had to switch to after cast on freeze was gutted. Running my own tree and gear selections, but I do check various builds and ideas out there to draw on ideas (as does 99.99% of everyone who "makes" a build before you try to call bullshit).

I'm in the process of adding power charges and frenzy charges to my Stormweaver. No idea if others are doing this, I'm sure they are, but this is just me reviewing shit in game and making changes. T15s will be absolutely no problem, though I am susceptible to 1shots and stunlocks if I get caught out and am not entirely happy with that, but the damage is good. Not sure what Jungroans dmg is like on his monk version, but I feel like my setup will be considerably more damage.

I will say that I am enjoying the game the more I play and regret not no-lifing it at launch so I could have exploited all the early farming but it's still enjoyable and making enough to tinker with my build.
