for GOD SAKE stop this discrimination PLS!

very soon poe2 and i rly hope theres no CI node or full immun to chaos dmg/etc dmg in poe2

and better balance in class/skills in poe2

Trixter? Seriously? That peasant? This is how Top-1 HC character looks like.

If OP doesn't like CI trickster, go Juggernaut with capped chaos res.

and what? u agree that CI node giga broken and unbalanced at all?

why trickster - full immun to slow map mods + almost all slow effects + insane extra defense from more es/eva + other depend on nodes crazy strong things trickster has... thats why trickster crazy broken

when trickster combined with CI = even more broken unbalanced

This is what happens when build diversity drops near 0 because of content like T17s being non-optional. You see the same copy-pasted CI trickster build, even "melee" builds are playing this ascendancy and keystone like Splitting Steel which is just funny and sad at the same time. They also use mageblood and nimis ofc. And can't forget about ephemeral edge. While also stacking 20k+ es and having insane damage at the same time, full immunity to ailments and most map mods. It's not balanced at all lol it's completely OP and broken. That's why so many people copy paste it, its meta. If they keep nerfing builds/skill gems instead of the actual content that's the problem then build diversity is only gonna shrink more and more.

T17s were simply a mistake, and they've shown they can't balance them or the crazy map mods. They should just delete them and call it a day.

Before switching to the Slayer I cleared T17s with Trixter and never allocated Action Speed Ascendancy. 3% more damage per mastery, charges, ES and ES "Overleech". Action speed is ok but it's very-very niche.

CI has it's own downsides - it's expensive comparing to Life builds. If you suggest to kill CI (Trickster / Slayer / Champion / Juggernaut / Scion) you won't have comfortable access to T17s anymore. Killing the build just because the other ones are not so good is a bad approach IMO. Also Trickster is not very damaging comparing to Int / Str stackers in general. To be honest, I didn't expect that almost completely defensive ascendancy can become a problem.

People blindly copy-paste CI Trickster because PoE streamer (we have only one at this moment and you who it is). They think if he managed to win the Gauntlet, so the build is automatically God. But as you can see the Slayer is WAY stronger. People don't want to think and make their own builds.

This is not something caused by T17 maps, lmao. What are you even on about?

A meta has always existed, always will. People naturally want to be as fast, optimized and strong as possible - that's the downside when you make tools like PoB available to the public. If anything it lies in the nature of min-maxing, again, not something that T17 is reponsible for. Every era of PoE had a distinct meta with builds or archetypes that were greatly superior to the rest. Shocker, we didn't even have had T17's back then, what was to blame? Maybe fomo?

damn thats crazy

I did a slayer and had 0 issues 40 challenging in a month.
