There are no builds in PoE. Everything is just exploiting, abusing, and gimmicks

heres why many call this game bloated in mechanics:


base game is dmg, armor, res. vs monster dmg

players get res, armor, dmg - GG raises dmg of mobs,raises their res, cause players tend to use curses
players gain even more armor, res-max- more dmg via mechanics/gimmics - mosters gain even more res, life, extralife, leech, reg life
ggg introduces overwhelm phys, elemental exposure and corrupted blood chaos dmg - players mandatory skill/jewel anti-corrupt, anti-exposure etc

this is just a players versus devs

and its dumb.

dmg now consists of a dmg type, an overwhelm to counter res/armors - and an exposure and curse.

(so lightning now has lightn dmg + exposure + shock + conductivity - just to counter all those res mechanics of mobs for example)

it should really only be armor, res, and anti-res anti-armor curses and thats it.
they constantly add layers of dmg+ AND add layers of anti-dmg + so everything is now bloated.

thats probably why they wont add a dmg log at all, cause that would show how "off the rail" those calcs are.

reminds me on how sanctum tries to teach players the very very basics of arpgs and specifically poe by making a whole league around the meme "just don't get hit, forehead".

it's funny, especially when people then write posts about what a failure such a league concept is in their opinion, it tells more about the player type than the league itself.

and it tells alot about the degenerated main game: "reddit's non-gamers" laughed at chris when he claimed that the game can't let people into the game too fast cause that would demotivate them, yet the majority of players is still thinking that more damage solves every challenge cause the "poopsocked league mode" gives plenty of it, until they started ruthless and discover that there is still a real arpg behind the concept of poe.
