Rising awareness about Path of Building unintended negative consequences.

The cost of mistake in modern PoE is huge. You can't afford to rebuild your character if you made mistake, this is why it's better to use PoB and calc everything before it's too late.

Not true, they parse everyone on the ladder automatically.

ah the ladder it is then. thanks for the info. Would be interesting to know who gave them permission to do so. Which, if not, with current AI troubles in that sector, may not be legal much longer.

Everyone has their profile set to „Private“ by default, if someone chooses to put it on „Public“ they have to expect that it is… public. Ninja scraping the ladder automatically is simply a result of the combination of „Public Ladder“ and „Public Characters of people on the ladder“.

You make so many random points... So I prefer to make videos to prove my point:

Took my build even further, farmed a mythical and managed to kill Mogdrogen, Rashalga and Morgoneth with it.

- Without GrimTools and SSF
- Without chosing a skill only for CC(my pets are my CC)
- Without Circuit Breakers(Amazing healing and attention to HP bar replaces that)
- Without investing only into Physique
- Meme melee + pets build(love this style)

- The pets are durable and take aggro while dealing sustained damage and heavy debuffs.

In this build I adapt to Superbosses by swapping to a Salvation relic. The other relic with the pet is simply amazing for normal bosses and mapping
Ofc it takes a while because it's not a build made for bossing, and Mog kills range from 10min to 1 hour of killtime.

So you don't need to play the way the devs want. The proof is in the video. Unless you want to beat ALL superbosses that require specialized builds to beat.

As long as you have some stat knowledge and mechanical skill you can play the way you want. You can even beat HC with this build, as long as you know it's strengths and weaknesses and don't go for specialized bosses like Callagdra and Crate

FUN > Extreme Performance/Meta

Now imagine me trying something this memey here in PoE WITHOUT pob??
Complete failed character in 95% of the cases.

I wonder if the worst part of PoB is that it has largely 'absolved' GGG of making a remotely comprehensible game.

How many times do you think at GGG offices did one programmer say "hmm will players understand this", and his coworker goes "yeah they'll just PoB it".

It's killed any desire to make any part of the game remotely intuitive. Defense, offense, completely labyrinthian mess, but "Just throw it in pob".
