Certain builds killing the game before release

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

They were quick to neuter cast-on builds, but spark is just as bad - if not worse. Cast-on should just be removed from the game as this point.

My problem is the 15k effective HP.

15k HP sounds a lot, until you consider that it roughly translates to "can take 1 minor hit, still nothing major".

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.

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.

Those sweet summer childs, thinking that builds will never be like PoE1 in PoE2...
You already have a taste of the final endgame, which is already very similar to PoE1 in terms of grind, content and repetitiveness.

There are 55 titans in HC top 1000 right now. It IS trash.

that's because even GGG has no clue what they want this game to be.

monsters + combat/league mechanics are not designed for the slow advertised gameplay at all. this is PoE 1 design at the moment

mace skills for instance have no play in this current design. so they change EVERYTHING to make it a consistent slow/dodgy playstyle game or inevitably it has to be a screen tap explode simulator.


but again, there's nothing to do with EA because there's not even a game here(not a new one at least). It's just a worse PoE 1 with better visuals/animations

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.

If you want to press MMO skill rotations for every white pack there are MMO's out there for you to play.

And the end goal of ARPG is to become powerful and smack around bosses who once gave me trouble. If I am covered in mirror tier items and still struggle like a level 3 goon then what is the point in grinding?

Also GGG does in fact want you to get strong and have good clear, otherwise mechanics like Deli and breach would not be the first to be added.

Where are you pulling this nonsense from? There’s not even 20 Titans in top 1000 standard.

we don't know yet what game they are making - a new one or poe1 copypaste. If second, they are almost there and all those builds and skills are on their place. If first one, everything must be completely revamped because it does not work.
