Emergency skill balance patch needed fast

We need an emergency skill balance patch ,0.1 had more balance then now
Seriously it's a mess !
So either play Ligning spear , lightning arrow ,shockburst (what a nice pattern I wonder why ..)
Or some other busted thing using amazon's busted crit and base dmg ascendancy bonus .
What should we play ? A regular 50 k dps skill or a 1.9 m dps LS ?or maybe a 3.6 m dps some other broken skill
We need an emergency balance patch that's why everyone left to LE and other games .
And for the love of God make someone balance the crossbow skills 90% of them are useless garbage.
I spent over 1k hours on crossbos 90% of them are useless and more 5% useless unless ur a gemlin that can use x2 support gems .
So what do we have on crossbos ? Lightning dmg builds ? Well that a huge valley of options .

A reminder It's an Early Access!don't be afraid to nerf and buff things on the way !
That's what Early acces is for !

The biggest problem is that there are not a lot of fun-to-play builds. If they'll nerf Tangletongue, poe2 will lose another 20-30% of its current online easily. In 0.1 I would 100% agree that they should deliver an emergency skill balance patch, but now - no. Maybe yes, but only if that patch will contain a shit ton of buffs and slight nerfs to LS and Tangletongue. Infernal Warcry will be nerfed as well I guess.

I played LS for a bit and it 100% needs to be nerfed. I moved my huntress to leap just for shits and giggles

They must do an emergency patch , people should understand that we r in early access it's basically a Test , it must be fixed on the go for the health of the Released game.

the funny thing is they nerfed sparks cause I was one shooting the screen and then came up whit lightning spear that's a freaking slap to the face xD
And meanwhile none of the actual crossbow skill got buffed
As there were two useful skill Galvanic and shockburst so it is now .
Everything else is garbage 🗑

Who are you reminding?

If you understand that EA is about tuning, then you also understand EA is about playing the game before it has been fully tuned. An over-tuned build in EA isn't an "emergency." It's exactly what we should expect and if it is really going to make you this uncomfortable you're probably better off just waiting until the game is out of EA because I promise people are going to find similarly crazy builds with every new class they release and you're going to end up w/ a f'ing anxiety disorder if you're this worried about it every time.
You should be very very careful with what you ask for. GGG has a DECADE long history of never nerfing. It either remains strong, or gets taken out back and gets shot.

POE1:
Vaal Skills (All of them)
Detonate Dead (9 builds)
Volatile Dead (9 Builds)
Herald Stacking (3 builds)
Aura Stacking (2 builds)
Archmage (9 builds)
Battlemages Cry (4 builds)

POE2:
Spark
Temporalis Autobomber
Gemling Legionnaire Tempest Flurry
Invoker Monk Tempest Flurry
Invoker Monk Flicker Strike
Herald of Ice/Thunder Chaining

They didn't lightly tap these, they killed them off in 1 patch, never to return.

Currently there is several decent builds available, more so than in 0.1.
Twister Amazon
Lightning Spear Amazon
Twister Deadeye
Lightning Spear Deadeye
Lightning Arrow Deadeye
Artillery Balista Deadeye
Poison Arrow Deadeye
A couple of strong Grenade Arrow builds
Essence Drain Lich
Smith of Kitava Warrior has 4 strong builds capable of blowing up a screen with melee
Minions die quickly but put out very good damage, just need to adjust the survivability ability.

No the good skills we have need to be the baseline, and everything else needs to come up.

I agree whit you one one thing for sure
We need a Baseline and all build should be buffed to that baseline.
We must have build variety.
