Non meta players

I dont know every league i come back and pick a spell i enjoy cause it looks cool and fun to play.

Always ends up the same i hit around 95-97lvl and cant progress anymore even after sinking like multiple divines into the build.

I feel like every league its always the same meta builds that get to do all the content with like little to no issues :/ and if you play something you enjoy and not something that is strong you just get locked out of a ton of end game content lol.


I took a few league breaks. Come back and its still the same... anyone has this type of feel?

I don't play recipe-based meta/cookie-cutter builds either.
I have this weird obsession with Iceshot Deadeye builds.
I try a different version of it every season I play, and I have a lot of fun.
That is the important part: Having fun.
Reaching level 100 or decimating an uber pinnacle boss within 15 seconds was never my goal.

If you're having fun, then it's good, right?
There is so many builds with 40+ million dps. Diversity is great in Poe 1.
Really? I feel like I look up spectres on POEninja and every single spectre build is BAMA or wretched defilers in the top 100.

Why makes you feel like diversity is good?

Played this game for years at this point, and its the same every year lol. And they keep making the end game harder and harder.
I have an unhealthy obsession with Tremor Rod. Yes, the rod, haha, so funny
Alot of items are really cool and fun same with spells or summons.

Its just 90% of them you aint gonna be doing end game with.

RN iam doing pale angel spectres. Still dying in random T16 alche maps, I was doing 8mod before but felt like maybe this league i could try go for 100. Since doryani on merc is goated and enabled the lightning angels.

But nay still dying from time to time even though iam playing on the more careful side and it just fuckin sucks lol.

Oh I dont think I could ever decimate an uber boss XD But if iam doing like shitty 4 mod maps I expect to atleast not randomly die?


Yes iam having fun but its the same every time right? And the breaks from poe get longer and longer.

Every league > Pick the thing you like > Do somewhat ok > Hit red map. And thats it lol. Most of the really fun stuff you never really get to touch and i expect its even worse for most players X.X Since iam def not casual when i start gaming.

My impression is that the game is getting easier. But maybe also harder to learn.
No wonder it's lost, it's in the middle of the jungle!
