My point was that the scope of builds that can tackle hard end-game content are very narrow when compared with possible theory-crafts presented in this game. And because of this, if people want to experience that part of the game they have the option of playing a few select builds and forget about any creativity.

Peace,

You are right, hopefully we will see some creativity from dev in the next big release.

The only difference would be that instead of increasing the power of a character by 50%, the power curve would be at a 25% increase, that's still an increase worth hunting for from my perspective.

I guess I completely agree with you for melee builds but I think that caster builds are honestly at a very good spot. I think they can tweak the damage of some spell gems to make them stronger and maybe nerf some others to make them a little weaker, but casters are already at the place you are talking about and there aren't crazy items to make their damage skyrocket. You can use a 1 ex divinarius or a 3 exalt doryanni's and the difference between that and a mirrored weapon is probably 15-20% maybe? I am talking about just plain casters not COC or wanderers. Wand builds suffer the same way that melee builds suffer. There are other examples of stuff but I am not going to discuss every single build lol.

Now on the other hand you can use a 250-300 dps dagger that you can buy for lets say 5 exalts. Now if you put on a loath bane at 550 dps you will double your dps if not more. Caster weapons vs melee weapons are very different. I don't think there should be such a disparity between a decent melee weapon and a mirrored melee weapon. I think 50% increase is okay but 100% is pretty crazy.

I dunno lol. On one hand it would be cool if good weapons weren't that far behind mirrored weapons. On the other hand, it will make mirrored weapons a lot less cool :)

EDIT; I will probably edit this after I read it.
