At some point people will follow guides, poe2 makes respecing easier than before there is absolutely no harm trying stuff. Even the devs keep telling people to try and experiment stuff, make your own builds see what content you can do with it. It's all part of the fun, when you are stuck or something with your full build, you can check 7/24 gamers and follow their successful builds easily. Why are you being so cringe and telling people to follow guides day 1. This is next level of cringe.	Posted by Kage#1250 on Dec 3, 2024, 9:46:10 AM Quote this Post

" Skellymancer#5263 wrote: Your builds will not work. Period. 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. Honestly, I want to be constructive, but what a garbage take.	Posted by FalkenRaiding#1068 on Dec 3, 2024, 9:57:43 AM Quote this Post

Remember with the skill changes (no more having to level new skills) and the fact that gold is used to respec points. Even if a person went ahead with whatever they wanted. If it doesnt work, they could just try something else. Plus even the most technically knowledgeable players do not know how things will interact in POE2 as it is not the same as POE1, yes they can make some educated guesses, but I bet it is the random players that will find what we might call meta because they had the ability to try things those with knowledge didnt think will work. Sometimes knowledge puts blinders on people because they are use to the way it was and how things worked.	Posted by BigJoe1981#4119 on Dec 3, 2024, 9:58:30 AM Quote this Post
Early Access is 100% the place to experiment with builds. If we want a well tested game having everyone play the same builds is just silly. The more things that get tested the more data GGG gets to work with. Don't listen to OP	Posted by arknath#4740 on Dec 3, 2024, 10:03:39 AM Quote this Post

And I bet that once we have PoB up and running with the new tree, ascendanceis, gems and item database, those "random player" builds will be out-performed in magnitudes.
