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

Chieftains are almost universally high health/ES. Most of the Occultists have at least 10k ES and so do Tricksters. Raiders have insane evasion.

No you're wrong.

This game has an overflow of builds/skills that can be geared to comfortably clear all content.

Meta is just basically fully optimal, not "only option".

You can pick nearly any skill and clear everything. For example you can just build around frost blades and /lol content.

Many of the non-meta builds are better because items are cheaper as well. So you get more efficiency farming earlier.

Could you link me a non meta build that can clear ALL content without large amount of EX investment?

Storm brand inq. Kinda hard to point to a build since now my build is 100ex but I was clearing t16 before I switched to low life and it probably cost 5ex at most since I was saving for low life transition.

Don the crown has 5c weapon tabula awakener MELEE Kil. I am pretty sure I know where the problem is...

Ah, so we went from "can´t play Endgame AT ALL" to "non-meta can clear ALL content without investment".
And what do you mean with "all content" anyways? Like, if you know the Shaper and UElder fights by heart then you can do it for less than an Ex, I am pretty sure. But you won´t delve to depth 10.000 without serious investment. That´s just a fact.
I mean this league it is so ridiculously easy to make money just from playing the game at your own pace, it is actually a joke.

If you like rippy just wait for the POE 2 release.
