Build diversity
|
Some people tend to complain about the lack of build diversity in POE2.
And even with more weapons being added later on, this feeling may persist. One major reason for this is the layout of the skill tree: Weapon-specific bonuses are usually found only on one side of the tree, making it illogical to pursue a build with that weapon type if your character starts on the opposite side. That’s why I’d like to suggest adding "bridges" to the tree — similar to how bridges work in the POE1 Atlas tree. There are many possible ways to implement this, some more balanced than others. One promising option would be a kind of "double spec" system: not by adding extra ascendancy nodes, but by allowing the player to choose, from a bridge node located on their starting edge of the tree, which equivalent node from the other "side" they’d like to gain access to. A system like this could significantly improve build diversity, without breaking balance — especially if limited to one bridge or link per character. Last bumped on Jun 1, 2025, 3:48:22 AM

Currently there is no diversity. No matter what class and ascendancy you pick, using the bugged spears, elevates you to S+++ tier. This is wrong and should not be the case ever.
HC SSF. What else?

" Strange, how come I'm using a normal spear with Rake and I'm running t15 maps with no problems, even a lich with ED has no problems. Seems like we're playing different games here. |

" I did not say I have problems. I believe spear should be nerfed to the ground like the rest of the weapons/skills in the game. HC SSF. What else?

You must be doin something wrong if you can´t get a OP build WITHOUT a spear.
I have a 93 Monk, 95 Amazon, and a 92 Mercenary builds without a spear clearing t4 bosses and sims with ease. And there a plenty of other srceen clearing builds that DO NOT use a spear, so WHY should it be nerfed? |

" Did I say you have problems? Can't remember what you wrote? Here, I'll help you: " "No diversity" is just utterly false. |
