" Well yes, but actually no. If you want to play a build that throws Fireballs and lets rain fire from the sky - you can technically do that, but you won't get far because it sucks. If you want to channel your inner fire and blast enemies away, you could use Flameblast, but well, they nerfed it so it's not usable as main skill anymore. If you want to command a burning legion, you could use Raging Spirits and Arsonists, but they are nerfed so hard, you won't win a war. If you take a deeper look, there aren't really fire builds, there is just A fire build - Ember Fusillade. Ember Fusillade with Fireball. Ember Fusillade with Fireball, Solar Orb, Flameblast. Ember Fusillade with Bla. Ember Fusillade. Well, and builds that use Fireball as a trigger for all their Cold Skills. And sure, if you put in many, many hours and try to find some Fire build that works even in endgame, then it's probably just an oversight of GGG and will get nuked next patch. [Removed by Support]

I would like to ask those who are unhappy with the patch, have you heard the phrase "my main metric is online" during the interview? I hope, people, you stopped logging into the game and supporting online?

Yes. Yes it is.
But I've been literally temp banned from these forums for criticizing him. So apparently you're not allowed to discuss that if its the problem. All I can say is that censoring/silencing your critics ultimately does you no favors in the end. I don't agree with this approach. But it's not my company. I'll just leave it at that. |

Yes. Any other questions?

There are two answers this question.
The first answer is YES!!! The second answer is a lie. |

Does the intended vision/gameplay even emerge in current state of the game?
The general statement from various interviews is that they want players to have a variety of skills to deal with multiple scenarios (since now you can theoretically have 10+ 6links) Over .1 & .2 I had 3 toons over 90, and every time I ended up using 1 or 2 buttons From the apparent game balance, there is no way to make hybrid skill set do better than dumping all possible stats into one thing Maybe some other avenues need to be explored, rather than keep making gimmicky skills (that force some dev designed interaction) to force players to use "combos" -- this only makes weak build diversity and skills themselves feel weak |

" Jonathan is an Uptalker... Google/AI Uptalker .... "Chronic uptalking can be perceived as a sign of uncertainty, hesitancy, or lack of authority, especially in professional settings" "It’s completely normal to find listening to uptalkers annoying—many people share this reaction" |

Most certainly, yes.
My friends and I have been playing path of exile since the beta, and even we're doubting GGG at the moment. They've consistently been our favorite studio over the last decade until they let POE stagnate and released that mess of a sequel. All of this coincides with the departure of Chris Wilson and Jonathon taking the reins. I'm almost convinced, especially after the Zizaran interview, that he's the main culprit behind all of the things that have gone sideways the last few years. Something needs to change, and it needs to change soon. |

NO. THe problem is 1% of "POE 1 veterns" who tuned out of everything they said before EA and are colored shocked when the game is nothing like POE 1.
