Then the game becomes boring, still getting unavoidable oneshots and killing too fast for our own good.

What's the fuck?

Well I agree this game has had a problem with power creep for a while now, it's really funny to hear you talking about powercreep and unavoidable oneshots in the same post. You know you can shift some of that powercreep from offense over to defense right?

Word! What funny - in some cases defense can make you even more OP. Like 88% fire res running RF almost doubling your spell damage!

You know id actualy really like to see slow down in new content with a step back and a solid rebalnce of the core game .

Now right might be a good time . IDK about interneal development however , perhaps just after act 5 come out would be a better time to sit down and hash it out a bit . I don;t know when that will come out however so could be to far off . Perhaps best to do it sooner rather than later

Have you noticed how a certain poster follows an alleged female forum poster around and defends her to try and score pussy points?

Yes, it always amazes me when some one posts that power creep has made PoE too easy but then will play the latest BoTM that can one-shot a whole screen of mobs. Hello???... Are you kidding me??? There are a gazillion interesting to play builds that aren't BiS that won't lead to a "PoE is too easy" result. If chaos was allowing double dipping or some one found a build that shotgunned one-shot everything and you don't want PoE to be that easy then by god why are you playing that type of build?

Ascendancy sub-classes are good for variety and do allow for more powerful builds but complaining that it's out of control and GGG needs to fix it is crazy talk. Not everyone who plays PoE is a top skilled player. I find it a fun change of pace to be able to run my fast crit Blast Rain archer and one-shot entire packs for awhile, then switch over to a more sedate but equally fun to play MO incinerator build ,and then switch to a whacky off-beat build. Some work and some don't but for the OP fowl to GGG for empowering us for greater build diversity is wrong.

I do think the pace of play has gotten too fast both with how quick I can crit shoot a white or blue mob with my archer and how game lag can equally fast kill my exile when PoE tries to catch up and plays a series of many frames so super quick that I have zero chance of reacting to incoming damage from ranged attackers (the creatures that lob from off-screen are the worst and we'd all be better off and happier without that kind of shit).

I dont see how that amazes you. Path of least resistance is human nature. That doesnt mean we cant judge it OP if being objective.

What amazes me is guys like shags who make life hard on themselves. No trading and no power gaming. Thats contrary to human nature.

this, only a few skills or combination of skills with items are facerolling everything, then we have a lot of average and borderline unusable skills that need a miracle just to do decent.

unfortunately it's not only some combinaisons of skills or "combos", everything, right now, with ok stuff, decent tree and properly thinked build will rape at a very great speed.

Totems, self casted build, coc, crit, attacks, bow, mines, traps...

everything atm can break the game. It's not a bad thing if the content follows, but when there is no challenge anymore... :/

Unfortunately it's not true, you can become more tankier and resist to big damage, yes.
But some oneshots are unavoidable, and i dont talk about vaal smash, i talk about fast shitty stuff that are unbalanced (argus uber lab when it crits with sunder...). Even with 8K hp, and 4 enducharges,75 % block, you can die against unexpected non telegraphed things, it's cool somehow but also dumb ;) if you do not trust me, do some research

and volatile blood in melee can reach 15 000+++ damage AFTER resistance check... !

There is two ways to play poe:
Play something for fun and dont care about optimization
and play something for fun and optimize to the max

Because everything can become op with the right ideas and "combos", if you start to optimize you will enter into the powercreep realm, it's only a matter of time, currency and motivation.

If you're concerned about power creep, play HC 90+

YOu know ascendancy points are optional right? You're only as powerful as you choose to be.

There's nothing GGG could do especially it seems that OP only plays standard.

You can raise the contents to so retardedly hard that most people will quit PoE to play chess, there will still be newbs with mirrored trash crying about how the game is too easy.
