Certain builds killing the game before release

I mean certain builds, like Stormweaver spark builds, will kill the game before release if not nerfed to the ground.

Whats the point in pressing 2 buttons and clearing whole maps and insta kill bosses?

Thats not even playing a game tbh.

You must be new here. No offense intended. POE has always had 1-button and 2-button builds. It's part of the game design. Some people want that POE experience and GGG gives it to us.

Oh well , then its not for me......
If thats the case the whole game is just a cheap android game disguised as a arpg.

I mean whats the point to give players thousands of builds and classes when in reality there are only 3 or 4, that are worth playing if you actually want to achieve something endgame?

We're into the 4th week of early access. There will undoubtedly be balances for the next 6-12 months.. Relax & Cope.

You must be new here, POE 2 was advertised to not be POE 1. They explicitly stated multiple times they didn't to return to poe 1 1 button screen blow up builds - yet here we are. Its like nothing was tested before they threw out EA.

You must be lost here. This is PoE2 and not PoE1.

I don't mind whichever direction the game takes - be it slow and methodical or RMB smasher simulator - as long as it is consistent. And i don't just mean campaign vs endgame, i mean there are many mechanics and skills and interactions that just don't play nicely with RMB smasher.

Take palm skills for instance. Who even uses those in the endgame? They're single-target skills that do little damage and you need a clear LOS to the target. Trying to use them in the endgame is suicide, so folks play ice monk and just gain power charges while clearing the screen with RMB.

GGG can't really have both playstyles in their game because they're polar opposites. Must choose one and stick to it.

I am playing with 1 button.
Have higher speed and better clear than the storm weaver.

The one thing I am missing is the warm protection of energy shield.
My problem is not that 40k DPS spark.

My problem is the 15k effective HP.

The same people who express they should be rewarded despite having a noncoherent build are the ones who say that efficient / strong builds shouldn't be rewarded.

Make it make sense.

Builds should not get nerfed, period. People work and grind hard for expensive items that are pivitol for those OP builds to work.

instead.... and the intelligent stance to take would be to BUFF crap builds. Melee is trash right now. Your approach would be "Hurrr Build A trash; Build B good. Make Build B trash like Build A. If i cant face roll no one should"
