DO NOT make your own build in EA

"

What I do not agree, is that arbitrary builds can do well in this game.


How many arbitrary builds in PoE 2 you tried?

POE is all about making builds

Hopefully, with reworked combat system, now it will be about playing those builds as well.

I will give you a free "eye-opener".

You need AS MUCH DAMAGE AS YOU CAN GET.


Not true. You only need about 200K DPS at Non-Uber bosses. I imagine Ubers you need maybe double that?

DPS probably just makes skill issues a non-factor

Looking at my skill damage in the skill panel, I only reached 178K DPS this league in my double strike character

if we're being real here, most of the top percenters in poe are using a hyperoptimized build that either out dpss encounters or have enough defenses that they can tank damage.

either way it takes the skill factor out of the game.

for sure there are exceptions like the dude who did uber elder/shaper with a level 20-30 templar. but most players are no where close to that level.

in any case ggg doesnt like where poe1 is at.

i hope poe2s end game does not end up like poe1

Anybody who says otherwise cannot be right. Ofc you can follow other people's builds, but saying that you should not make your own builds is simply wrong.

You are correct and I agree with you.

I just don't want anyone discourage from reading that you want so much damage that you need to hyperoptimize a build. I know that I would have been discouraged from trying a game if I read that on their forums.

It is possible to do it with or without a guide.
200k dmg in maps ? are we playing the same game ? playing map with 200k is fun ?

2nd this.

Specially when the game is just starting with new mechanics and difficulty level. Saying that you can only do this and this with your own builds is just insane, no one knows what is good. This isn't PoE1. Plus people have different opinion what is fun in game.

Plus there is no rush to the end game, we are in beta state of the game. Lots of things will change during this time.

MAKE your own builds and have fun. Experiment and learn the game.

from what i see theres roughly 2 ways to enjoy diablo clones.

1 is to do your own thang but risk not being able to do content.

i m surprised to see that there are many people chiming in saying they like doing their own thang in this forum and i m pretty sure its still lower number than premade build enjoyers.

2nd are the min maxers. no disrepect to them, for whatever reason, they prefer NOT to be bothered by the hassle of endless trial and error.

using pre made builds make the game fun as you can actually do ALL content rather than just a portion.

i m from the first faction. my build sucked ass for the longest time. thru out these 10 years.

i was stuck at 83-84. stuck with dock farming and never making it past maps.

then i got stuck at yellow maps, then red maps.

reaching 90 was an achievement. 95 then became my wall. then 99. now 100.

i used to never be able to clear maven. then i could. i used to never be able to clear the feared but then i could.

i have to admit i hated it whenever my dps was low and i hated that i m not clearing everything. but then i learned to temper my expectations. this is my choice.

all this suffering is self inflicted. but on the flip side. each achievement i earned was a thousand times sweeter.
