"PoE 2" is going to be just a common expansion with new story and some improvements. We'll still keep all items we have now. We'll still play the same game on same servers. It has nothing similar with D2R scenario. "2" means nothing but a marketing trick, at least for now.
"Has no sockets" labels are already mean not so much as before. We can already have 6, 7+ links with weapons and helmets. And things become even crazier, check new Bitterdream Sceptre. It's obviously GGG tries to make 6L access easier & easier. In the same time we receive more & more defensive mechanics and therefore less & less skill points to increase our HP pool from the passive tree so we have to find HP sources on items.
So there's a good chance to make Kaom great again.
its a different game now, kaoms was big dick when chests were mainly for defenses. Now chests add way too much damage to care about 1k life.
giving up flat crit, charge generation, aura effectiveness, enemies explode, plus skills etc just isn't worth it in standard. The only places kaoms sees play is pvp and hardcore (both dead)
its still a foil charizard that gets more rare every day between people quitting and bans but the price won't spike because of its usefulness, just gonna steady climb from rarity increasing over time.
