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.

So many people are telling others "check this out, try that", "Hundreds of gems available", "There will be thousand of possible builds"...

No. Lies upon lies. Click baits.

The offense in this game relies on strong synergy from equipment and tree nodes. The damage is calculated in terms of millions. It is the result from chain of multiplication, cheesy conversions and focusing all investment on one thing.

The defense is organized on different layers, demanding heavy investment, often in multiple of them, to ensure character survival.

The game was, is, and always will be, balanced against top builds.

You will never be able to pick nodes on the go, and come up with something that works. Even if you are particularly good at math, prototyping requires tools, that allow you to check if the end-game numbers are actually alright.

So if you want to see something more than the campaign (And you should, because otherwise its 30 buck for 3 acts...), "experimenting" is absolutely not recommended.

Edit:

This is not attempt to coerce players to follow blindly other peoples builds, as some people have suggested multiple times. And some ask me how this affects me, why is this my problem.

I do NOT like bad builds. I do not like to struggle. I do not like to constantly respawn. If a build I have shows even slight hint, that it wont be doing decently... I DELETE IT. No matter if its my own, or someone elses. It is a torment.

And I think, that many players who play this game, and will play the game that comes do feel the same way.

They will want reliable, strong, fast, easy to play build. They will want to explore more. To do more. And nothing in the past years provides evidence, that creating your build on the go is viable way to complete endgame content.

So many of you say that enjoy picking nodes on the go, and plan to do it on EA. I absolutely respect your choice. I support your choice. I just want to share my thoughts on this matter.

We have 'skeletons' of builds already. Archetypes that we know will work. I think people are overstating how much combos will be needed, it's probably going to be mostly 2 skills for clear and 3 to 4 for bossing max, but we'll see soon enough.

Playing builds I can.
Making builds I can not.

But when I see your "Viper Strike of the Mamba" character,
I am absolutely certain that this applies to you as well.
