DO NOT make your own build in EA

"

How in hell can we have great builds in 2 hours if NO ONE will be at maps in 2 hours? If you do not know what you need to face how can you make the best builds for the endgame? Have you not watched a single video about this game? THis is not POE1, it is not just pile up max theoretical DPS. You need to consider much more stuff and know when and how to combine skills. The days of single skill pure DPS are GONE.. It takes much longer to make a good build with tactics in such a game as POE2.


This may come as shock to you...
But the builds are not created "in maps". They are done with tools.
(It is more of a thinking process, than clicking stuff)

Also, you do not get my goal.

I do not want to clear with one button the whole screen.
I just want to clear content 10 times FASTER than you.

It makes no difference to me if clearing a map will take me 5 or 50 minutes.
As long as the regular player clears it for 50 or 500 minutes respectively.

That's what I like.


It may be a shock to you but POE 1 and POE 2 are not the same game. The skills are not just spam DPS. And No you will not clear content 10 times faster. Even in POE 1 when I played my builds were like half the speed of the builds in build guides..... This game yuo even MOVE much slower you will not be able to have such massive speed differences JUST because of a build.. at least builds that people will realize in the first 2-3 days.
i want to reassure new players that for the campaign, you should be able to use any build to do it as long as you re just not picking stuff at random.

the discussion is more about maps since poe 1 is a game of scarcity and planniing. you cant just waste the few currency that you get. so much so that there is a website where you can emulate crafting :) because everything is so scarce.

so if you just want to do campaign shouldnt be any problem

i hve never followed a build guide in poe1, and theyve made massive efforts in poe2 for the game to be easier to do it yourself.

i hoipe everyone ignores this thread and tries to make their own build, enjoys learning and getting as far as they can like we all did day 1 in 2013 open beta.


You have never followed a build guide? Are you sure?

All this gear combinations on your chars, auras, the timeless jewel placement, etc... you come to this by yourself?

Not a bad job, really. Surprised how little deviation it has from the optimal.

Even to halfway of maps you do not need super optimization. But that optimization level will NOT exist in the first few hours, or even days of the game.

If we get the tree tonight, we get the optimization before the start.
If we get the tree at start, we get the optimization next day.

It will be matter of hours.

people do not even know how the skills WORK! They have no idea how much single target DPS you need vs how much area damage you need vs crowd control. You cannto be optimal without knowing that in POE 2.
i'm copying OPs build!
My take is to make a very clumsy first build to test as many skills as possible. End act 3. Then restart with my knowledge and make a serious build.
