DO NOT make your own build in EA

What ever suits you OP. I play games for fun, and if someone makes a build that looks fun to me I’ll try it. But in EA I’m just be going in blind and will see how far I get, if it goes wrong then I’ll start over. Nice and easy no rush just relax and play game..

Many of the threads are some sort of recommendation what actions other should take.

You do not have to listen to the advice. (For example, I am not listening to other people making threads about "experimenting".)

I think I was clear why I am doing it. I will say it again:

Experimenting without game knowledge leads to suboptimal builds, that leads to players being unable to reach all content, and this means less value for time and money spent.

Do I need more reasons to make a thread?

but then your optimal path is to not play the EA....

Everyone running with 120+ skill points since no one should make their own builds :D

Of course I will make my own builds. Why not, now is the best time to do it. You will never learn anything if you just go by guides. And those won't be out in a while.

Define "a while"?

Do you really think, that GGG will release nothing before start, and if it by chance happens, we will not drain the pre-download, or if (we really are unlucky) this also doesn't happen, no one will immediately adapt the tools for POE2?

Considering the popularity and interest in this game?!?

Check this out:
https://marcoaaguiar.github.io/poe2-tree/
(Disclaimer: I am not related to it in any way, not for commercial purpose)

See the amount of work done, the contributors, and how fast it came live, and consider that the source for this is "watching youtube videos and adding it by hand". (No GGG API of any sort..)

So, what is "a while"? Saturday evening or what?

The most broken builds are in the EA. I am not missing this.

I'm not spoiling anything from the game for myself. Not even the skilltree, will go with the flow and enjoy the new game and making my own builds. Everything is going into hold after the pre-download.

But you can do what ever you want but do not tell people they shouldn't make their own builds. It's everyones own choice.

If I can make a functional build in POE 1 any idiot can make one in POE 2. Yes, I just insulted myself.....I work like that.

I throwed a quick glance over your characters...

Some of those "home brew" builds look surprisingly close to the ones you get from Walmart.

Forgive me if I am mistaken. Maybe it is coincidence. And pure logic lead you to pick those nodes.

Aside from a few experimental ones, I've reached, played and enjoyed end game with them. If that's not what matters in a game, I don't want to play anymore.

Also, some of them are from so way back that they cannot function anymore due to many changes to the game.

I see threads that (from my point) of view they say "go experiment and fail".
I make a thread that (from my point) of view says "do not experiment and win".

To be honest, while I (obviously) do not agree with half of those threads. I do not feel like any of them "limit" the freedom of other people to choose to listen to the advice in them or not. (Or my freedom to choose in that matter.)

I think, that if you state your advice, explain your reasons behind it, and be respectful to others, it should be acceptable.
(And I tried, to the best of my ability, to follow this when stating my point of view)

Is it that time of the year already?

From my point of view, it looks like someone made a burner account or is a troll account in itself to incite drama lol.

Please explain and elaborate on why anyone would listen to "your point of view" on doing anything with builds when you look like a brand new accouunt that marked itself private right away. Where is any of your experience and knowledge on giving any advice about this game
