is theory crafting even going to be a thing in poe2?

just wondering, is it going to be a thing in poe2 like it is on poe1? or they gonna make the game and progression so simple everyone will be using the same build cause nothing else will be viable? whats "the vision" on that?

in this game its called "theory slamming"

I'm actually theorycrafting a lot more than I play this game.

Like a cold earthsatter that does 250k dps and leech 400 life for each hits.

Or an hemocrystal chronomancer bombardier with stun grenade as a stapple and cluster grenade as rare and boss killers, it's the one i'm working on actually, not carved in stone, just like how it sounds.

POB 2 is funnier than POE 2 at this point

do you get to test it and works? or rarely does?

I do test them, or make them test by friend who play way more than me.

I hate combos, so I try to make my builds as minimalistic as possible or as automated as possible, generally one or 2 manual buff or trigger, 1 main skill for general purpose and mapping, and one skill for tougher ennemies.

All my characters in POE 1 are solely theorycrafted, I didn't use a single existing build that I know of.

All of my character in POE 2 also, for the actual 0.2 I'm really struggling to stick to it, so I'm theorcrafting a one handed mace warrior with T4 equipment, max block chance, lots of life leech, maim, 15k EHP, 2 attacks per seconds, not wind up time bs, still wondering if I'm gonna use earthshatter or sunder, but most likely it's gonna be earthshatter + earthquake cry + the big slow blow that stacks aftershock (forgot the name already) for bosses, 51 rage, Titans, actually at 100k DPS for this one on the POB still lacking the belt and the amulet, I'm working on my main mapper for low budget if you prefer for this season

I find myself theory crafting quite a bit on Lich Minions. Testing various specters that catch my eye. But even if there's plenty theory crafting let's not kid ourselves that the majority of players won't be running by copying the most broken build available at that time.

all i hope is theres actual build diversity in the game, so far it seems like each class is going to have 3 builds that work and thats it
