Player power needs to be nuked down a lot. This is just disgusting.

"
I want my huge investment in my character to pay off, and I explicitly want it to pay off by feeling powerful and explosion enemies without thinking about it. That's the entire power progression fantasy in games. I struggled through the campaign and worked my way up, why should I still be struggling after hundreds of hours?

Maybe I shouldn't literally one shot ubers, fair. But I also don't honestly want those being 3+ minute fights either.

Good game too.

Big power fantasy has historically been what PoE had been about, that and the economy are the reasons I play. If they make changes like suggested in this thread, I'll likely quit.

Too bad GGG never realizes this. Don't worry, they WILL nerf these builds. They do it every League.

Oh I'm definitely in favor of some nerfs and class balance, don't get that wrong. I just think every class should be able to get to screen clearing power once you're hundreds of divines of investment in.
Ummm. GGG said when a content update comes, balancing will occur. So log off for a bit?

Since when did listening to GGG amount to anything? I'm sorry, but until they actually DO balance something, I won't believe a thing they say. Not after 11 years of all talk, little action.

so true
Im new here, but after 20 years of different online games exp - i agree
Till u see REAL changes words mean nothing.
Im fine with any changes, i just want to know in what game i will/not invest my time.
ya, after learning one button kill everything is the true and only meta, I moved on. Its part of their culture. You can be like 6 different class but at the end of the day, you will be a one button win anything wizard, no matter what you picked at the start.

Some people love this stuff, not asking to taking it away from them. Was hoping for a real D2 like experience. This is diffidently not it, borderline false advertising. but it is what it is.

You mean real D2 experience "frozen-orb-sorc-delete-packs", "bonespear-necro-delete-packs" or "whirlwind-barb-deletes everything"? Don't get me wrong but even good old D2 had alot of fast clearing builds.
Instead of crying that there are builds that are too powerful and that the game is too easy, try to create a build yourself!!!!

It always annoys me the idiots who come and cry that the game is too easy when they are just copying the trendy builds... it's ridiculous!

You might as well just watch someone play in your place! It's not interesting!

Result: Tons and tons of nerfs to kill the game and the pleasure that we can have when we manage to do something good! It's the big disease of POE!
