POE2 has strict Authoritarian Builds, diversity isn't possible BY DESIGN. RIP Buildcrafting.

I expect this to be the case.

The reason is rather simple, it's very resourceful to balance this game. Totally unrealistic to be able to maintain 30+ strong builds every league. Might as well dictate how people should play.

+1. I beg for a passive skill tree rework. With how restricive it is, the passive skill tree has to be "crangled" asap for the game to remain atleast somewhat fresh. It is the second league and PoE2 feels completely stale already.

The ability to make your own build and kind of lego piece stuff together was the most fun part of the game for a lot of us. It was the hope that POE2 would allow even more of that. We even expected to be able to start your Witch/Ranger/Warrior etc base class from any direction from the central wheel. But that didn't happen either and pathing is god awful especially for leveling.


It just....sigh, it just sucks man...


And the sad part is. We're not the largest part of the community so it'll probably get ignored until like 5-6 years down the line...

PoE Deuce: A fantasy ARPG which doesn't even have swords, yet.

Is that because GGG hasn't figured out the mechanics of edged weapons yet, or because they're holding them back to use as some sort of huge update when they finally add them in?

"PoE Deuce 0.7: Introducing the Swordsman! New skills, new builds!"

I know on which I'm betting. ='[.]'=

You people need to understand while it is ideal to have various build possibilities, that are competitive enough with each other.... balancing them such that they aren't OP or UP isn't realistic. just one oversight is enough to make a build brokenly OP to the point no other builds are desirable.

This is the strangest argument I have heard. POE2 is not a compeditive nor PvP game. The idea that they have to be balanced against each other is ludicrous. They just have to work within the game. They had this for 12y. Did they have a head injury and forget?
