I want to love poe2 but ..

Did we ask for a souls-like arpg ? I know I didn't

I play minion build. My minions are 90% of time dead and waiting for respawn xD

"best game design ever"

Looking the comments here, I think you guys are trying to dodge too much maybe. You need to remember the immunity frame here doesn’t work as in other games.

I use dodge not that often, only when I truly need. You need to add and use skills that help you in different situations. Nevertheless, you also need to learn the bosses and minions mechanics indeed.

Also, it is true that PoE 2 does not exactly like PoE 1. However, it is still PoE, most are struggling because the game is not solved yet, but as in PoE 1, a good build will also carry you through the game easier (you van already find some crazy stuff online).

In summary, the game does play different, yeah you need to learn mechanics, yeah you need to use more skills than PoE 1, yeah you also need to use craft currency often now and yeah, the right build will make you OP anyways, no you don’t have to dodge always (and if doing so, keep in mind that frame immunity is short and in the BEGINNING of the movement only).

I have had a pretty good experience with melee 2h up to the final of act 2. Some fights are a little hard, but nothing that bad. Most of my items are magic.

Might sound bad but you guys need to adapt. You don't rush the campaign. You try to upgrade equipment as often as you can.

In the end it won't be that bad with half decent items.

Currently not feeling it with PoE 2, feels like a side grade.

Don't care for most abilities locked to a weapon
Don't like the d4 insta weapon swap
Don't like monster collision/push how it's currently implemented
The spread of abilities between levels, not a fan of

The roll is mostly bait, except for a few select situations

Overall feels like PoE 2 was copying D4's development but just made a better D4 not a poe

- see, every Soulslike is so shallow that its content lasts MINUTES, but the game is punishing and not only that, but everything in it is a huge waste of time, if you make a small mistake it means losing 30~40 just to get back to where you were, so a game whose record is 40 minutes starts to seem like it lasts 40 hours.

I see your "credible" source is speedruns using skips and boss rush tactics to reach the end screen as fast as possible. To say that your take is absolutely terrible is probably understating it. Souls Games are clearly not for you, lol.

POE2 is basically an isometric Elden Ring/Souls game with a POE skin.
Just got to Act3, everyone in town is ranged. Only saw one Titan at a whopping lv42.

Makes sense when you have punishing restart from scratch mechanics everywhere. If you could play ranged in Elden ring with a fast repleneshing mana bar or infinte ammo everyone would. There's no point in risking going close range.

This is absolute nonsense. I have no idea why people keep repeating this. It just isn't true.

You guess right.
