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

Maybe Jonathan's vision is making PoE2 a moba game in the end?

given that TenCent owns the company, I wouldn't be a bit surprised. Complete with Pay to win MTX.

I do not like not having build diversity. I am with everyone here. We want many possible builds, thats why we play poe in the first place.

There's plenty of build diversity, your problem is that you dont want to play a normal build, you want lightning spear and other utterly broken metaslave builds that clear screens.

Thankfully poe2 devs made it clear that this is not the POE2 vision so all those broken builds will keep getting nerfed to the ground each patch until you learn to play the game for fun, and not to abuse the most broken combo out there.

Lightning spear clears screens. Not sure what you are smoking but it is probably illegal. In POE1 there are hundreds, potentially thousands of viable builds. POE2 has 1. Just 1. And they will nerf it because they doont want that. The "POE2 Vision" is going to result in a failed product. Already their reputation is crap. Diablo 4 is rated higher. The only people happy here are Blizzard.

Anyone claiming they are getting the last part of the endgame with their off meta build. I welcome you to post it to any build site of your choice. Educate us poor souls. :)

No?

Yeah .... I didn't think so.

What you call "viable" I call "banned in my maps." You want to never see a monster. You want everyone in the map to never see a monster. Keep the nerf hammer swinging GGG!

Hit me up in-game Kray. I'll show you my build.

If it ever starts back up again...

As someone who mostly plays my own builds...the monsters I'm fighting would have to be fun and engaging for me to want to see, these monsters are neither of those things.

There was a clear difference in the 2 characters I played in .1: a self-made totembringer that could handle the content but the best way to play it certainly felt like "totem, roll, totem totem, roll" and an invoker monk with dual heralds and flicker strike. I liked my shockwave totem warbringer but I had fun on the flicker strike monk.

Fun builds. It's fun to make your idea work. I wanted to make a tank that did damage over time. Picked warrior for block and incinerate because it looked cool. Turned ignite to chaos and did contagion cast on ignite. Wailing wall blocks 75% of all hits including ground explosions and boss slams. Smith provides easy 90% resistances. Chaos innoculation protects from chaos. 1.7 seconds before energy shield recharge. Sigil of power in off hand. Works fine for me in all maps, but I don't demand that the map be instantly cleared like a lot of these crybabies.

Worked great through the entire game btw

I would hope so, Kitava alone sort of trivializes the game which is why it's the most played ascension in both HC leagues and still manages to be 2nd most play in SC SSF.
