This league is GROSS. Not playing it.

Seriously? A grafted arm to my back? There are more things in here that just destroy any enjoyment. I havent gotten any char out of act 2 for the first time since starting this game 10y ago. "You can turn it off with cosmetics" they say. Actually you cant. That is broken. The progression is broken. every zone is slower to do in the campaign because of the league mechanic and you are trying to run breaches in the mud flats? Seriously ill conceived. And what is more is the same builds that dominated last league dominate this league. I seriously hope GGG never goes into compeditive target shooting because the safest place to stad would be right in front of the target.

Complaint: Physical builds just arent viable versus elemental ones.
GGG: Yeah we got ya, nerfing physical builds and boosting elemental ones.

Complaint POE2: Lightning Arrow is dominating the meta nothing else is viable.
GGG: Yeah we can see that, nerfing lightning arrow a tiny bit and nerfing everything else massively. ... there that works.

Complaint: Melee builds are not playable because defenses for those point blank cant compete with the defenses of just moving with projectiles and spells.
GGG: Ok cool, we got ya. We will give the bosses stronger skills to hit the projectile and casting folk and ignore that just makes your life worse.

League after league GGG keeps missing the mark and in both games the SAME builds dominate league after league.

Maybe 10 years is long enough and I need to move on from POE, uninstall and be done with it.

melee is fine says the person using melee skills with huge aoes and fast clear speed.

Kind of missed the point but hey, you do you man.

I'm sure all the people playing Phys Dot Reap Elementalist, Earthshatter and Cyclone/Shockwave Slayer and clearing all content in the game would be shocked to learn their builds aren't viable.

This is actually one of the better leagues for physical builds what with Grafts buffing Impale damage and facetanking being more viable, also thanks to Grafts.

Did you garner all your hard evidence from playing on another account by the way? The one you are writing from hasn't even completed Act 3 so I am unsure how to read your feedback

When i see a post like this, my dark side tells me to write " hey, you already told us The solution, if you quit you will be happy, we will be happy and ggg will be happy".

But i wont do that, so here is my reply: thank you for your constructive feedback.

I love the arms, they fit my villain look perfectly

I actually spit my coffee reading this reply.

Ya know it's funny I mained melee last league and this league and I had no problem getting to 40/40, farming a mirror, all with working a full time job.

I don't understand where people like the OP have all these blown it of proportion problems/these "GGG is ruining the game" narrative.

Most of the time it seems like they are just burned out and POE isn't for them anymore. Also, when their profile doesn't really reflect someone who has enough experience to make half the claims they type, it's just telling, and slightly comical.

Also, the comment about the grafted hands, yeah imagine breach.. ya know a mechanic based around.... Hands.... Would have... Hands... Popping out of the character like the breach pops out of the ground...

Idk where some of these people come from

im am still waiting for certain players claiming that 'they will own with these subpar skills' to actually do so.

I am actually waiting to be schooled by some chad who shows me how to make Sweep or Cleave viable. because according to these individuals - these skills are 'fine' i should ltp

meanwhile these certain individuals pretty much play meta-only since forever and havent visited bottom-left side of the tree ever


phys builds - aka 3 skills grouped together - are functional, but the mechanic actually MASSIVELY rewards big coverage and offscreening. still waiting for someone playing Cleave show me clearing 24/24 RELIABLY (aka not once, and not relying on random freezes and shields from buffs)

meanwhile volatile dead, wanders, ice nova frostbolts and shit like that actually plays this shit without even moving from side to side

phys builds ARE numerically undeniably worse than elementals. lack of pen and multi-dipping on conversion cannot be even matched with Brutality and Impales/Bleeds - the numbers simply do not add up, there is no space for debate here, it is a hard fact and GGG kinda did nothing to fix that

Pretty sure no one ever said Cleave is broken and actually OP. Cleave =/= all melee skills. I mean, anything can work with enough investment but...why would you want to pick CLEAVE of all things...?
