THE REASON you see a lot of complaints

Half the player base responds to complaints with "everything's fine. You're just a whiner."

It's absolutely infuriating. I have close to a thousand hours in Path of Exile 1 so I have a pretty good idea how to build a character. It took me 60 hours to get through act 3 normal and I got so much fucking condescension saying that I'm just bad at the game.

Nope. It's because I tried to figure out my own build and it wasn't the cookie cutter bullshit the devs are forcing on us. That's it. I actually tried to experiment like you're supposed to during a fucking beta, and when I offered feedback on it I was buried with insults.

You know what that doesn't do? It doesn't make me want to fucking keep testing.

The mod team seriously needs to crack down on the condescension and elitism, because it is driving away the people who actually provide useful feedback.

just IMAGINE how bad this dude must be

Read your replies and for the most part I feel you are all in the same boat.

I also suspected that eventually I was going to be able to give a blanket response: https://youtu.be/mmXUR-4mou0?si=XohWq4_-UUa1Zprn&t=69

After that he ends up recommending the build because apparently it's better than the summoner version.

Point being... he had such an easy play-through with the Arsonist (https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Forged_Frostbearer basically this in POE1) that when he decided to tryout a warrior he noticed how absolutely dreadful it is.

... so again, don't invalidate someone experience with the game just because you had a good time with during your play-through.

Further more! even if you played the same class as someone else if you by planning or luck endup choosing the best possible path don't think that other skills even within the same ascension are just as good. At least for merc, fire is good, lightning is meh, and everything else is trash. So my experience as a cold merc was radically different that the experience of any merc doing fire / lightning dmg... and I had twink gear.
