Game is balanced to following builds, punishes experimentation (1000+ hours played)
|
Game balanced not for meta builds but for trade. If you do not trade then game becomes difficult. I think GGG needs specific balance for SSF. But they even did not implement AH dispite the trading. So they need a lot of work.

" Wow you got a perfect jewellers at 80? I was in t15's before I even got a greater. I largely agree with everything you said. I dont like following guides and was able to make a melee infernalist build that feels like my own. But it's not viable till ~lvl 90 and relies on gear that would take like 2 years to acquire ssf. The 4 uniques it uses arent even that rare. Disagree with the waystone/currency point though. Most T1-13 waystones don't need to be juiced more than 2 mods. Much easier to run easy waystones while farming xp/climbing the tiers/developing juiced tablet zones. The return on investment for juicing a waystone gets much better in higher tiers and within tablet juiced areas. "Beidat honored the pact, though Mancy wouldn't take off Doryani’s prototype."

You're right of course regarding juicing - maybe with the exception of the Nexus which requires 4 mods, and towers which "require" 6 mods.
That said, once you've played a lot of endgame, you're kinda biased towards always juicing maps, and not doing so feels like a bit of a waste of time. Not being able to do so, further compounds the sense that the game is restricting you from achieving past glory. :) |

" Right! I'm not playing strictly SSF, I play in normal league but try to SSF to the extent possible. It's also pretty noticeable how trade activity seems lower compared to past league. Anyway, all this is just feedback on an experience. I'm still having fun, just not comparable to last season - much slower. |
