Glacial miner used to be a thing but all i see is hexblast. Try it, not trying to tell you or anyone how they have to game; because fun is subjective ofc. But my personal experience is that the journey is the fun part not the destination. I mean its nice to get to the destination, but then the feeling of "okay now what" taught me a long time ago to put much less emphasis on it. Forging my own path is the thing I relish in gaming, being unafraid to fail comes with realizing that its the failing or at least potential to; that makes the winning feel good. Pandering to players who don't want consequences for their mistakes is a perfect description of what went fundamentally wrong with D3 and 4. If they wanted mindless mobile game time waster gameplay they sure did make some perplexing choices and marketing statements for 6 fucking years.

Well ive seen an occulist build for it. Trouble is finding what asc to play the skill on without a guide. Aint got time for it in settlers tho so maybe next league either as a starter or weird ass 2nd build One cannot help but wonder how such a lust for loot can affect a persons mind. Although these exiles appear to be our salvation, it would not take much for them to turn on us as easily as they fight gods and demons.

In other words: PoE 2 endgame = PoE 1 endgame By the way, I never understood why some people are like you. Why do you want GGG to nerf builds to the ground? If you don't think the playstyle is fun, just play other types of builds, no need to ask GGG to take the fun away from others. Yeah, but the PoE1 endgame is good and gives players a lot of agency to engage in what they want to. While also not punishing you worse than your first wife who took the kids and house. PoE2 endgame is just not it.	Posted by Moregaze#2933 on Jan 22, 2025, 8:50:33 PM Quote this Post

I am wondering — PoE 1 has a lot of content to enjoy, why most PoE 1 players are waiting for the next PoE 1 league insyead of enjoying its content right now? After all, its endgame is much more enjoyable than PoE 2, right? I honestly don't understand, why then?	Posted by Suchka_777#4336 on Jan 22, 2025, 8:57:54 PM Quote this Post

PoE1 has been enjoyable for a decade, but a large part of that is coming back every 3 to 4 months to start again with a new twist or angle to approach from. I like jerking off; if I do it constantly for 8 hours my dick won't feel good anymore; that doesn't mean jerking off isn't more fun than sticking needles in my penis.

When will you understand that the game is made for builds that clean the screen as quickly as possible... When you play t15 distilled into breach is that there are 50 thousand enemies jumping on you you are obliged to clean everything as quickly as possible possible...The game is made to be played quickly, it's not a souls game where you generally fight 1 against 1, I think we tried it but it failed.

The game will be what GGG will decide it to be, and they easily could decide to make a game with engaging combat. Moreover, they advertised it as such game.

" Sargoth_CZ#3391 wrote: Yes, it is EA and OP builds will emerge.. however there are that many with such power that it pretty much loses any sense to do anything else than mash 1 button. The game completely lost it's uniqueness. Bosses which were supposed to be kind of a staple of PoE 2 are dead before their first move. Slow and methodical gameplay which was promised multiple time is gone and it is back old overstimulating zoom-zoom PoE1 crap. We don't need to wait 3 months for new economy reset. Its EA, nuke this OP shit to the ground now, that's what EA is for, to have drastic changes. Just so you know what I'm talking about in case you haven't noticed: Killing monsters pretty much offscreen and zooming like Formula 1 https://youtu.be/GO80dGk8iL0?t=137 Shitting every spell on entire screen at once https://youtu.be/6LgeAfNhbOc?t=33 Simulacrum completed AFK https://youtu.be/mcx_VyY_tRI?t=69 Endgame bosses deleted within seconds https://youtu.be/WZnIzDfyK-k Some specific skills and builds need like 80% power and speed nerf, maybe even more. I HATE GGG that they said they wont nerf anything until new LEAGUES come out.. hooly shit.. its EA.. delete everything instantly if its too busted.. why wait 3-4 months.. then another OP as fuck build and they wait another 3-4months to fix it.. they wont even discover how to properly balance the game that way. This is LITERALLY DIABLO 4 levels of shit. Everyone was saying GGG is different, they will never allow such numbers.. oneshots etc.. specially with the NEW POE2 they can be really strict there.. yeaah.. cool story.

Because as long as this playstyle exists other playstyles can't coexist. This playstyle is like a disease on the gameplay, it infects everything. Either entire game is balanced around it (which it is) and then every other playstyle is simply unplayable at all or it is not balanced around it and then every other playstyle is not viable because fast builds just generate loot and currency more than 1000x time faster. Your fun shouldn't come at the cost the integrity of the game. Your fun also doesn't last, you may have fun for a few days and then you quit, this kind of game requires constant life support wiht new content, otherwise it dies. Removing this garbage increases longevity and makes for a more fun game long term.
