General Discussion - DO NOT make your own build in EA - Forum

But that optimization level will NOT exist in the first few hours, or even days of the game. May I ask if you have played poe 2 maps at all?

Then restart with my knowledge and make a serious build. it s not how it works though for maps I think we might have a lot of people crying and raging way before the maps in POE 2 sicne the game is vastly different	Posted by Urza_Mechwalker#7393 on Dec 5, 2024, 7:48:00 AM Quote this Post

They said in the interview that the baselien maps will be easy and not a challenge so peopel can explore on the start of maps. The middle was a wild guess of mine for how long that goes. IN POE 1 at least it felt like that .. the first half was very bland.	Posted by Urza_Mechwalker#7393 on Dec 5, 2024, 7:49:34 AM Quote this Post

You need AS MUCH DAMAGE AS YOU CAN GET. SINGLE target damage, AREA damage? Because they are clearly making the game so that cleaning skills do not get even remotely the damage of single target ones. So if you miss the balance between these 2 you will not be optimal.	Posted by Urza_Mechwalker#7393 on Dec 5, 2024, 7:50:51 AM Quote this Post

People have been raging and crying every single league we had, for various reasons. Sometimes half of the people cry that it is too hard, while at the same time, the other half cry that it is too easy. There is no pleasing people. I think it is safe to expect a lot of crying and raging... Last edited by Skellymancer#5263 on Dec 5, 2024, 7:52:55 AM	Posted by Skellymancer#5263 on Dec 5, 2024, 7:52:32 AM Quote this Post

So if you miss the balance between these 2 you will not be optimal. I disagree. Balance means "giving up strength" in one parameter, to "boost strength" in another. While this is 100% true for the "defense" and "offense" of the build, I would not give up clear speed for ANY REASON. I am not saying that I wont have different WEAPON SETS, that I will swap when needed. I am saying that within SPECIFIC SET, I wont make a compromise.

any build works in poe just have to know how to play it	Posted by ABOBA#9529 on Dec 5, 2024, 9:21:40 AM Quote this Post
No one played the game or knows how balanced it is now. Dumbest thread I've ever seen probably. The wait has fried your brains.	Posted by AnimePillowCollector#2255 on Dec 5, 2024, 9:28:15 AM Quote this Post
" ABOBA#9529 wrote: any build works in poe just have to know how to play it Sure man, sure. Can you please make a video, how you do shaper with 200k DPS build? All those years I was thinking that I need to boost my damage to 2+ millions. Now when I see other people's point of view - maybe I was just not clicking the buttons right... Thank you for sharing this. Last edited by Skellymancer#5263 on Dec 5, 2024, 9:31:25 AM	Posted by Skellymancer#5263 on Dec 5, 2024, 9:31:09 AM Quote this Post
