Why on earth this game still have this Fusing mechanism?

You are in the trade league, just buy it ffs.

This game is full of whiners now. Wtf happened to it. This game was invented to be the hardcore version of Diablo 2, not Hello Kitty Online.

Didn't GGG announce a plan to eventually do away with fusings? I think so. The idea was that items would have fixed number of sockets and skill gems would have sockets to support gems. One could use Jewelers on skill gems. Something like that, IIRC?

To be fair 1.5K is a terrible luck its usually 300-700 that I hit a six link but thats RNG for you.

If it makes you feel any better OP, I burnt 17 EX yesterday trying to craft a bis cluster jewel and it amounted to nothing at the end.

no, that's about average, anything under (especially by the hundreds) is lucky, it can go as high as 6000+ if you are really unlucky.

It's there OP because it is a currency sink/time sink, it's unrequired result that while powerful is totally not needed.

fusings will not be a thing anymore in poe 2

what do you propose, just giving everyone 6 links?

things are meant to progress. if you don't enjoy grinding to progress, then this is the wrong game for you mate. along with many many others.

This is exactly what they're doing in PoE 2 and guess what, prepare to have your nanoscopic mind blown because THERE WILL STILL BE PROGRESS.

wrong. moving links from gear to gems isn't going to just magically give everyone free 6 links for every single skill you use

is that really what you think "PoE2" is going to do? because it isn't.
each gem will be able to become a 6 link, but it isn't going to be that by default or something.

so take your frustration of 6 linking one armor piece or armor+weapon for each build, and multiply it for every fucking skill gem you want to use

I've never needed a 6L to have fun.

First you need to know what you are doing and invest time and effort to do this. So yes, it kinda is hardcore in that sense. Its not your casual 1h a week game, deal with it.

You say that like it's a good thing. I don't "invest time and effort" into something I'm not getting paid for. POE isn't a game, it's a job.
