You type "Poe 2" into youtube and the amount of videos on this will knock you off your chair.
One button whole screen clear stupid zoom-zoom shit.

This isn't a meaningful combat.

30% of community playing this build right now (cause its OP as fk).
And you know about it damn well.

Sure, you gave the kids a candy, obviously, the candy is spoiling them way too much. Now you are worried that if you take the candy back, the kids will start rampaging, crying and twisting.
As a good parent, you got to take this, take the candy, talk to the kids and have the patience to let them grow up.

You also need to learn, as a good parent, to not spoil them with such candies again and keep the damn game balanced and meaningful.

Thank you.

I will play whatever works. I used to love my Invoker that deleted the screen. Every ARPG Ive played has been to make my char as powerful as possible with the requirement of not playing piano while doing so. I started this season with a minion build then realized WTF I have to manually tell my minions to do every ability any other game they would do on thier own. I SUCKED my DPS sucked...clearing screen sucked gave up on Jamanra in campaifn. I felt it was like pullung teeth to chip away at boss health. Minions always dead. Ttippin over my fingers trying to do any dmg. Realized this aint fun.

Well I gave in...rolled a huntress and never looked back. If you cant beat em join em. It seems like the only build I can enjoy POE2 as is. I dont even run a streamer build heck who uses Trail of Caltrops and Culling Strike...I do. I enjoy my build.

The devs took the wrong approach with .2 nuke nerfs. They SHOULD have buffed weak things and then did balance of controlling pace on the mob health side.

I will LOL at the comment about the economy... no loot drops at all for anyone. Still 1 div here.

Lightning spear does not need a nerf, nor did the builds from 0.1

What is required is to buff the useless builds until they are viable.

Overall, PoE 2 needs another 5 years to cook and that is assuming they abandon the vision entirely.

People play busted OP builds because the loot is so bad that you have to if you have any chance of finding anything decent.

Why would anyone want to slog through killing things slower with the loot being so bad?

I like playing my custom, slower, janky/creative builds but the game really punishes you for doing that.

Why force everyone to play "slow and meaningful" when it is clear that majority people would prefer to play quickly? Should GGG redo all the rituals, breaches, wisps, etc to be slow and meaningful too? And when you guys all realize that the game is boring as fuck when everything is monotonous and slow, do we get an apology from you ? Look, even with all the people that quit because of this vision, you still have majority of players playing Zippy LS build. It's not just the loot, its that it feels better to blast away a pack of monsters than to get stunned and bent over by them

Where did you get the idea that it is what most people want?

PoE1 forums are riddled with threads that show dislike for the 1-spam skill forced playstyle.

I'd argue that there are many people that also like slower combat where you actually interact with enemies instead of instantly exploding them.

Problem is that PoE2 is not balanced for such combat yet. It is "undercooked" because it is hard to design/develop and balance.

PoE 2 combat has the potential to be amazing, but some decisions regarding loot drops, support/skill gems and other basic stuff like defenses is what makes it bad.

People confuse balance with design here.

I got this idea from the fact that as soon as LS's strengths were revealed every single player in this game pretty much dumped their original characters and swapped over to it. The game is almost entirely deadeyes and amazons, and some smiths of kitava with life questions
