Very much this. Please point us to a beta build that has anywhere near 2 million dps primarily through poison. Because it sounds like you're just making this up. Poison isn't useable anymore.

You mistrust GGG who got the actual data? This is like the right who call CNN fake news.

CNN shares the data with us. GGG is not some big government and thus has no real reason to even have a concept of classified information, which is the only time news orgs don't share raw data. GGG doesn't even have to share a source--they can post a copy of the build, right here on the forum, and we can verify with math that it is as overpowered as they claim. That's the difference between news orgs' anonymous sources (which are independently verified) and what GGG is doing right now.

GGG is claiming that people are actually *making* overpowered poison builds, with no evidence posted at all. The only poison builds I've seen that reach anywhere near "millions" of DPS in beta are the ridiculous single-target viper strike builds that have no survivability (whereas, the claim by Qarl was that they "weren't sacrificing defenses", lol)--and even then, path of building seems to sometimes overestimate beta damage with no explanation.

If you can link me to one op beta poison build with good defenses, I will shut up and accept it. As it is, GGG seems to be getting their data from reddit users making bad builds in Path of Building.
