If you are not using a META build, you can't play endgame AT ALL
" I agree for the most part but there is a timer build into the Shaper/Elder/Uberelder fights which is the ground degen. It's not that big of a deal against shaper as vortex balls can be managed reliably, but Elders/Uberelders add spawns and their poop can't be managed/prevented to a 100% degree so at some point you autolose without enough dps. Especially uber elder is a case here. That's something that's actually better about Sirus, if you know his mechanics and play well you can beat him with 500k dps on AL8. (even here you are probably screwed if you can't even break his ES in time before he goes into another phase). So yeah skill alone doesn't always work, but it has a tremendous impact in boss battles. Especially Uber Elder is very skill intensive. |

The problem aren't meta builds.
And no, Meta in my char name relates to Meta-Morph league. It is the ONLY char with this passive tree ;). And in before "Cyclone" ... check my other chars, I play Cyclone since 3.1 looong before it got buffed! You just jumpe onto my train ;). The bigger problem are Headhunter honks and guys which pay 100-1000 exe for one freaking char just to DESTROY ANY CONTENT! This little 0,5% of playerbase defines GGGs next steps. As GGG balance the following leagues around this IDIOT OVERPOWER PULLSHIT HEADHUNTER JUNK! AND IT SUCKS! REMOVE HEADHUNTER FROM POE!! It DESTROYS the game, the fun and the economie!! And it sucks even more that this little minority of elitists rage, flame, blame everyone who does not follow their opinions! |

" In my opinion what is wrong is GGG balacing the game around hh or 100ex builds... I think its fair to be able to "break" the game if u spent hundreds of exs and have a hh (that is pretty expensive). So the issue here is ggg balance team (joke that dont even play the game outside internal enviroment) that see these videos and think the game need to be hard for these 0,5% players. Its funny that even videos of ggg showcasing they use headhunter, its easy to test stuff if u dont have to farm and just press a botton to "summon" the item... Let the broken itens but balance around the avarage player with optimized build and a few exs of equips. Anything more should be able to steamroll the game.

" This is the problem of GGGCent awesome QA team... "There's no thing like random one-shots in this game. You only die because you take 353,456,237 hits in 0.2 seconds."
"The best items in the game should not be crafted, they should be TRADED." - Cent, GGG |

Why do people say that the game is balanced around having a Headhunter or 1000ex worth of gear? If that were the case then you wouldn't be able to do anything in game without those which is quite clearly complete drivel.

" I am playing a completely off meta build and raping end game. Get good. |
|
" You have two metamorph characters. One is necro skelly which is the most meta build. The other one is a MS saviour build.. which is already 100+ exalts in at a bare minimum. So yeah you farmed an off meta build, that is viable because you sink hundreds ex, using the most meta build. I don't see your point here. | |
" It's a defensive mechanism. "If I can't do it, it clearly needs a HH or 1000ex". Hell, after making my first Slayer Cycloner ever this league, I found it WAY to slow - and remade the build with a Raider. Clearing T16 maps nicely, and hvae no problems with the four conquerers. Haven't tried Sirus on my Cycloner yet, but I have the fight pretty much in my fingers after farming him on my Lacerate Bleed char. That's two melee build, clearing the toughest content. I don't have a HH or 100ex. It will never be as bas as these doomsayers say it is. Bring me some coffee and I'll bring you a smile.

" Melee is the worst archetype ever and can't even finish the campaign without 1000 EX gear, how dare you say something else!! /s |
|
" Well there are people complaining here builds that don t have 100 ex worth of gear can reasonably clear content. That s the main argument of people calling for necro nerfs :" how dare they having fun without first spending hundred of hours getting 100 of ex orb to then start the game and have fun". |
