@op, with fully stacked legacy gear standard character labyrinth is supposed to be easy. you're just stating the obvious. hell, it's not even a problem to buy gear for a few c in a new league and fix other slots with selffound rares and still be able to faceroll merc labyrinth.

it is NOT the so-called "difficulty" that makes labyrinth unbearable. if there's a person who claims otherwise, he shouldn't even be playing poe; when you make a new build nowadays, you're forced to bear in mind that you must be able to clear labyrinth with it. if you want to make it easy, your build selection is vastly pigeonholed. if you don't care about dying x times and/or are willing to buy a labyrinth clear, then it of course doesn't matter.

i for one want to play the game on my own, not pay others to play it for me. third option is off limits. i don't want to die a thousand times either, and since i don't care to trade massive amounts, so i can't count on starting out with a build that has high gear requirements.

thanks to labyrinth, all of that (mainly not being a trader) really hurt my build options. in standard, it's a matter of wasting time on running labyrinth before actually getting to test out new builds.
