Damage on Tuesdays

The PoE2 support gem really are “extra damage on Tuesdays, but only when the sun shines and the monster is blue”

Honestly I don’t understand why D4 got so much heat for it but here barely anybody seems to mentions it.

I’m not asking for everything to be streamlined like crazy, but what is up with having so many hyper specific things? It seems more reasonable to have a few hyper specific things, and many things that anyone can play around with. Or to put the hyper specific stuff in a separate UI/tab. Eg a support gem tab with “conditional powers” or something. That’d clean up the UI by a lot for people that are just trying to enjoy a casual playthrough and learn the mechanics, bosses, zones, quests and story.

It’s not a tier 1 issue, but honestly I don’t see how Jonathan said “you can pick any combination and it should still be doable” in an interview last year, and this is the system that resulted from that design philosophy.

Jonathan must have meant that in the same way as the Henry Ford quote "You can have the Model T in any color as long as it's black."

You can make any combination work, as long as it's one of 2-3 builds we've cleared for you to use in advance and everything else will just get nerfed into absolute oblivion because you were having too much fun in our dark and edgy soulslike.
