Toxic Streamers are attempting to ruin POE2. Damage limits would be a good idea.

Communism but for damage. No thanks

so what we keep the insta gib dmg output allowing players to skip phases and then balance bosses to make them hard for these builds? turning every boss into dps check like in poe1? that was super fun

Why does someone 1 shotting a boss impact your enjoyment of the game? Play it how you want. who are you to say that isn't what they find fun. Also again you don't have to use those things.

because those bosses end up being balanced around being one shot, or taken out VERY quickly. almost every boss in poe1 works like this

I don't think you have any idea how PoE 1 works. I don't think the majority of trash talkers do. You're all so concerned others play at a higher level than you and instead of stepping up to the challenge in one or two, you want to bring everyone else down to you're level, where we'll still outperform.

Cause their ego. They can't be the main character if others comprehend the game better.

ironically its the people that need to take out bosses in 1 min are crying now that the poe2 bosses are 'unfair'

I'm not, make them harder and I'll still smash this crowd that can't even perform at the joke difficulty the game is at anyway. It's not that this game is hard or a challenge in the first place. You all don't seem to pass muster if you're still in acts since launch.

Pretty clear these people want the game to be boring for the vast majority of players clearly since they either can't keep up or want everyone on their level.

The easiest solution here is to not balance the bosses around 1 shots. Just because they exist doesn't mean the only option is to balance around them. You all like to compare this game to dark souls or elden ring. There are quite a few videos of people going through 1 shotting the bosses in those games. You don't see from software going through and balance patching the bosses to have more health or be more resistant even though they very clearly could do so if they wanted. Even if we take their dlcs you can still one shot those bosses it has been proven.

So Warframe Damage Attenuation? Which is arguably one of the more obnoxious systems in that game, and people still figured out how to break it anyways. Ultimately the Devs lost that fight and gave up since they don't go out of their way to antagonize their playerbase anymore especially with the new director behind the wheel.

lol people advocating to keep builds that can insta gib bosses are advocating to bring everyone else down to your level. if you can get a build to delet a boss it becomes non-threat. if you CAN'T delete the boss you have to learn how to beat it. quite ironic that you used this argument rly

If you could figure out how to do it you would. You equate wasting time to "skill" cause otherwise you'd might have to acknowledge you don't actually know what you're doing.

I've also yet to one-shot anything, but I don't struggle either because I know what I'm supposed to be doing. Competence, it's the divider here.

in that case whats the problem with dmg limits? it makes the encounter harder.

Because you'd cry my build hits the limit and yours can't until they lower it enough for you. No participation trophies here, bud.

Part of the fun of the game is finding the OP builds.

Funniest thing is I have heard people are coming back to warframe now that the devs aren't blocking anything cool the players find. I haven't heard of 1 person complaining that the game is too easy now.

Except you have to figure it out and they can't.
