Single support gem limit of same type is awful

yeah i agree that this goes pretty much against the core principle of path of exile, people actually want to play path of exile, not your typical washed down , standardized arpg clone that chase the latest popular trend ... punishing players for finding creative solutions to problems is insulting their intelligence.

I love it. It forces people to make meaningful choices.

I hope GGG sticks to their guns and vision for POE 2. We already have POE 1, if anyone wants they can go play POE 1 whenever they want.

As I have pointed out, I have stopped playing since last week when I discovered this limit. I cannot customize my skills (and my build in general) to behave the way I want them to behave.
I needed Spell Echo on my other main skill but were instead forced to pick between Elemental Focus or Controlled Destruction. Neither of those skills interest me. This took away all the joy I had with the game up until that point. It feels like something one would find in Diablo 3.

It doesn't matter if other people think that it's more interesting if I use something else. I'm playing for the sake of myself, not for other people.

To all those who think it's more interesting and more fun to only use a support gem once: Nothing stops you. I, however, am being stopped. This is a restraint.

I really hope GGG will change this in the future. Several friends of mine has also stopped playing PoE 2 because of this.

It just takes all the fun away and does completely opposite of what our dear PoE claims.

Just decreases builds variety and forces towards one button instead of combination of them.

There should be no limit at all on how many gems you can use beyond 1 per skill unless it's an aura.

After all, you can't use more than one skill at the same time.. so why does it matter?

OH NO! That one skill gem combination is OP! Oh, no! That's FUN!

NERF!

LoL... gotta love GGG.

+1

It is an awful limitation to builds and theorycrafting.

I could see some being limited like the "+1 to Level of a _____" gems, but not all of them need to be limited.
