Why is this game so easy?

I leveled an Inquisitor up to 81 and I am one shotting everything. I can try Elder and Shaper but why should i bother boring, non-challenging content to face a single boss? In other arpgs, you can fight bosses whenever you want and enjoy your loot. I see non of those happening without mindless boring days of grind.

It's not so bad... you'll quickly progress to a level of difficulty that challenges you.

I agree though that the current degree of difficulty is too easy until it's too hard with very little time spent in the sweet spot.

After you build up (or trade for) a map pool, you'll be able to fight bosses all day long.

Quoted for the ultimate truth.

That point varies depending on gear and build, but you will reach it.

Unless you BiS a build to your millions of dps and just faceroll to endgame. You still need to know the endgame fights, but ultimate dps will trivialize them if you know the mechanics.

The game difficulty is not balanced around you oneshotting trashmobs. It is very easy to do that.

It is balanced around you not dying. If you can reliably do high level content without dying, then yes you can say the game easy.

It's been more challenging for me to hit the status of avoiding 1 shots better. This is above T13 though. Even with 5.7k HP + 200 energy shield it happens. So I tend to run safer maps like T10-T12.

Biggest issue honestly is to avoid 1 shots at T15+, you need that 4 ex 6L stat chest that I lack. ;( I got more than enough damage, but I am trying to level, and am almost 93 now, so I play safer.

The difficulty is mostly how much exp/currency you can make per hour doing long strings of maps. If youre satisfied about getting a character to be able to a t16 red map once then poe is not for you.

If you think the game is too easy, there are two mods you can try out; SSF and HC. Both will make the game indirectly harder. Good luck.

Because of the power creep.

yeah it is not for me i guess. I tried couple of leagues but this is the reason i got bored and gave up.

Elitsm, you can always join ProjectPT's balls deep league or whatever it is called.

Also like someone pointed out the difficulty lies in not dying, damage is usually not hard anymore to come by.
