Same 3 builds every Gauntlet how exciting

That's what happens when it's hcssf. Only a handful of viable builds.
So if you don't like it don't play hcssf. Not sure what your point is. (سಥ益ಥ)س (سಥ益ಥ)س (سಥ益ಥ)س (سಥ益ಥ)س (سಥ益ಥ)س (سಥ益ಥ)س (سಥ益ಥ)س

Doesnt really bother me for gauntlet since it s the fastest so one of the part of the competition is finding THE build. But it s pretty funny that we have traps on almost all classes now and even with days before imexile and darkee change classes, those days are not even a big lead enough to allow other skills on other ascendancies to perform. Tells you sth abou the balance of the game :) But if you listen to some forumers, no pb with build diversity viability.
witch dd (that uses crazy corpse life scaling) shadows seismic traps duelist darkee rerolled on seismic trap, will see how it goes against ea rangers seismic trap marauder seismic traps winning even before fire trap with a fire ascendancy, but all traps templars righteous fire ! incredible scion seismic trap On the one hand it s cool to see the ingenious pathing to win the gauntlet on the ohter hand, for the regular game, it shows that even with ascendancies and closer passive points in tree, you d still better completely ignore all of them to finish the game :D Tells sth abou the state of defenses in the game when you really dont wanna die and not use portals as a tanking layer. GLass canon is the way ? Last edited by SerialF#4835 on Jul 23, 2022, 10:56:08 AM

" Totally on point. But whenever I write about this, people shut me down by saying traps have been nerfed so many times and are bad :-) I lost hope in the community by now tbh Hope 3.19 brings HUGE nerfs to Necro/Sabo/Traps/Minions, basically all the passive archetypes that have been dominating every single league start for years. Sadly, won't happen. They will do a 20% nerf, and it's still gonna be broken, as usual. Affliction and Necropolis worst leagues ever. The current game design has slowly turned this game into a loot-shower fest, chase uniques are way too available; and obtaining chase items through stacked decks and valdo's boxes simply isn't fun.

" Those things are played in HC simply because they are safe, they are not the best or strongest but they are the safest on low tier gear. But only on bosses. Its that simple. The nature of proxi-dmg is that its either very good or unplayable, there is nothing in between. You cant just nerf it to the ground since you will kill 5 arhetypes at once. With bad gear 3 totems or 5 traps will always do better then self cast, you just cant in any way balance that out. DPS is not everything. With totems you can run around and dmg is constantly kept up, with traps and mines you can pre-load a lot of burst, with minions you can focus on mechanics since they are on auto-pilot and take a lot pressure off you etc. Last edited by kuciol#0426 on Jul 23, 2022, 3:38:34 PM

" Pretty sure they are not playing, nor they plan to. They watch streamers play it and they are upset because it got boring watching streamers play same shit over and over again. |

" Why do you think POE 2 will solve the meta build problem? |

Gaunlet is just simple boring to watch now.
At least they are doing what GGG wont do. A Proper Race and pay their content creators. Cause lets be honest this was made so the same players get paid. |

If I was a gauntlet designer I would make it a rule that you have to full clear every zone. Gl hef no re. Or at least like lunaris 2, and other large zones. Or like kill each act boss twice before moving on. Something to give them a speed bump.

" I think you dont realize how hard it is to FULLY clear a zone. There is always 1-2 monsters hiding god knows where. |
