This one =.= or whatever shit it is, so dumb.

As for the life buff, I would rather an increase to the passive %life nodes so that you don't need so many to survive but that's just my opinion. Personally I never find gearing life hard, rather I think the restrictions 'path of life nodes' puts on the passive tree is unnecessarily prohibitive and overall bad for build versatility.

Oh wow, your right! All this time I have been concerning myself with what the poster says. Thanks for the correction!

I have over 36 different builds. OP says theres finally build diversity. OP is wrong. it was always there, just take off the blinders.

how do all 36 of your builds fare against atziri ?

Why are you using one single OPTIONAL boss as your standard for whether a build is viable or not?

because saying build diversity is fine because i have 36 different builds is a meaningless statement.

i offered one possible standard.

killing Dom without portal abuse, could be another.

how about offering up what you think would be a good standard to measure build success ?

seriously, i'm interested in knowing what constitutes a successful build .

And how many of those can easily solo lvl 76+ maps or Atziri? It's true that you can make 100s of different builds but majority of them will be shitty dumbster builds that fail in many areas.

I'd hate to break this to you but if someone is having fun with all of those characters, they were successes. It doesn't matter how far they got into the game.

That said, there aren't enough different mechanics in PoE really anyway. Most builds are fundamentally the same form of applying damage to enemies until they explode. In that respect, you won't ever have THAT much build diversity. New coat of paint for the same stuff mostly.

When did build diversity have to do with itemization, I can give you an game that you can spawn any items you want but have a skill tree with an exact linear path and having only 3 skills in the game.

If your saying there because you can't get any items you can't do most builds, which is untrue because there are no more items that are ultra expensive that bare you from doing 95% of the builds in the game itself.

The changes just allows people to play more obscure or interesting builds easier.
