So you want a real argument? How about: "Grinding" for a 6 link armor sucks because repeatetly using fusings on it until it makes pong is boring mind numbing bullshit which was never fun for the majority and only acceptable when successfull. I heard horrorstorys of bad luck 3000 fusing later and higher. Cancer like this must not be adored, even if its "bad" luck.

The point is: A majority of those who stop playing because of shitty RNG does not bother joining this forum or reddit and leave their opinion.
the majority just uninstalls the game and searches for another one without anyone noticing it.
And I can tell you there is a bunch of people hating the fact that so much in this game is behind rng, even the full experience of your build.

Yeah there's horrorstories of 3000 fusings and I experienced this too but there's also triumphs of getting super lucky and only using a couple fusings. These are highs and lows that make the game more exciting. What your mentality calls for is to normalize everything to a common grey mass without highs and lows, a boring common denominator. Not to mention you can just pay to craft a 6l if you don't want to deal with the RNG.
You think you are entitled to a 6l, but you have to put in effort to farm currency or get lucky.
Personally, when I decide what build I will play I actually think about how much currency I have and if i'm low on currency I go with a build that can do fine on a 5l (never have i played a build that can't farm tier 10 or even red maps on a 5l) or I even go with a build that doesn't require you to link anything at all like Ngamahu's Axe. That's why there is different builds for different situations and points in the league, it's exactly things like this that make this game amazing and greater than the sum of its parts. Like at the start of the league, where you shouldn't count on the best gear and 6l right away, unless using Tabula. All these little nuances are what make this game extraordinary; but for people like you who just want to pick and choose a build and have everything spoonfed, there's so many other games (seriously pick any game 99.9% chance it's like that). Why do you want everything to be the same boring grey mass?

Everything remains more or less the same, but some of the powerlevel has been moved to later in the game. Basically they want us to stay farming longer. As a man with a job I just hope its not unreasonable amounts of grind. Will see in the league. It would be sad if game became out of reach just due to time requirement.

Yes ggg think we are all non lifers and we grind 24/7. No job, no kids, no f*king, no beer, no vodka etc. really sad

Lightning Warp
If you now cast multiple Lighting Warps rapidly, you will travel between all of them as they trigger the warp. The timing for each subsequent warp is based on the distance from the previous warp.

Also can anybody explain me the difference between old fortify and new version?

Isn't it the same? Was - 20% reduced damage taken; new - 20% less damage taken? What is the difference?

if you count this as exciting you might as well go gambling and count the times you actually win, same concept designed to make addicted

you act like your way to go is the only one and i need to adjust while denying the fact that a majority welcome the changes with poe2
maybe youre the "wrong opinion" here.
+ just get yourself divination cards which get you 6 link armour , cost around 3-5c each, so much to your fusing excitment
i get that 6 linking a buff ass influenced rare feels like a jackpot but at the same time its a drag to go for it, i want to play this game and not press left and right mouse button like a monkey draggin stuff onto armour until it goes pog

And I dont think as someone else here said already that you will get 6 link gems immediatly. Im just glad this fusing stuff disappears.

Think about all the RNG layers you have just to get an item.

First, item type (r/b/g)

Second, item class (normal/magic/rare/unique)

Third, item ilvl

Fourth, item pre/suffixes

Fifth, item pre/suffix rolls

Sixth, item socket number

Seventh, item socket color

Eighth, item socket links

That's 8 RNG layers to get through just to get a decently rolled sidegrade or upgrade. 8!

I'm all for RNG because it can keep the game exciting, but enough is enough tbh.

Support Modifiers... yes ALL support mods were removed.

It does not say that. So I would assume it is just main on Maces.
