If you are not using a META build, you can't play endgame AT ALL

Why in the world would you ever play a non meta build? Don't be that person and complain that your build isn't good enough.

Plenty of people play non-meta builds and bring them up to level 95+.

" Yes, but I would like to create my own build. I have totaly regreted to start league characters after a year because I don't prefer the actual meta/buffed skills. I don't want to play 500 hours every 3 months, I have life. If you start a summoner you can reach end game much faster with less effort. The problem is the difference between skills power. Not just 10-20 percent play hours or 10-20 percent currency invested. Last edited by SkulkLife#4142 on Jan 28, 2020, 4:50:34 AM

God forbid a game where you have more power and options the more you play.
While "diversity" and "perfect balance" are fun words, there also have to be carrots in the game, even for the rich 1%. WHY should they farm all those currency? WHY should they spend all that time on this game? Well, to be able to try new stuff... New, expensive stuff. There needs to be layers. There needs to be tiers. There needs to be "cheap" and "expensive" options. That said, there's still work to be done when it comes to weapon scaling versus spell scaling in this game, especially how it feels while leveling, but also how you scale it in end game. And there needs to be better defensive scaling for skills that require you to be very close to your enemy. Why a lacerate/Reave/Whatever melee character, that can almost offscreen monsters have the same access to defenses (and offenes) as a Double Strike/Dual Strike character is beyond me. They should either build some defenses into those "close proximity" skills, or make Fortify proximity based. Or, of course, make those skills even more powerful, freeing up some points for defenses. But sadly, GGG are very hasty of nerfing defenses if they become too... Popular. Bring me some coffee and I'll bring you a smile.

" So lets check: You want to play your own build You don't want to play a lot You want to play league You want to beat endgame Sorry but you can only have 3 of those at the same time, you will have to disregard one. |

" Worse then that, you can't have "You don't want to play a lot" and "You want to beat endgame" or "You want to play your own build" and "You want to beat endgame" at the same time. But let's talk seriously for a moment. If you have watched Baeclast (and older defunct) podcasts when Chris was a guest, you should be remembering that Chris is unhappy that so many players are able to race to 100 in the first month of any league. He's stated his opinion that if he could he would make the journey from 90 to 100 even more arduous and time consuming (I interpreted that as a steep increase in xp per level) to stop most of the current level 100 racers. He has some kind of mental problem about players reaching level 100 (like it should only be doable by the extreme no-lifer 15+ hours a day players). It wouldn't surprise me if he had happily approved the latest bullshit mechanics of mob packs insta-materializing on top of the exile and the increase in off-screen ranged attack damage that has no visuals so you can't tell it's coming and are completely blindsided by the damage hit(s). Seems like Chris has some kind of sadistic death wish (or something) against any player that advances a build to level 100. Fortunately for all players he doesn't have the final say on the endgame difficulty at the top end. "You've got to grind, grind, grind at that grindstone..."
Necessity may be the mother of invention, but poor QoP in PoE is the father of frustration. The perfect solution to fix Trade Chat: www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2247070 |

Fortunately being level 100 means nothing.
