Whether you get angry or not is your problem. What you don't want to understand is the absurdity of the damage it causes. Most people agree with us on this point anyway. You don't need to be afraid of Nerf; we're used to it. You will get used to it too.

Afraid of what? im not playing hollow palm build because its meh.

You obviously new to the game, you know barely anything about it, yet you scream here that this is "absurd" damage. This dps is trash, literally.

If hollow palm was as strong as you imagine, then more than 300 people would play it out of 100k on softcore trade, because who wouldn't want to play this imaginary OP build that doesnt even need weapon.

Can you calm down a bit, or do I need to report you? Also, I have 1400 hours. I advise you not to speak so arrogantly to people.

I thought you new, but this is so much worse, jesus...
Like what did you do in those 1400 hours? just punch mobs entire time?
I thought i play a lot, but i have less time than you in poe2...

I'm sure I didn't do the same thing as you. I played Early Access as Early Access, and even in this league, I tried out 6 different Druid classes. I played around with the builds I had in mind. I just level up at least 5 characters in every league. I try out builds, classes, and the fun aspects of the game. I don't act like the game came out with a meta build.

It doesn't matter what builds you do, with so much time spent in game i have no idea how you know so little, and how you complain about something that is decent at best, because you compare it to half bake low level character.

With so much time spent you should learn long time ago what is actually OP build, then it wouldnt be so awkward atleast to complain about actually OP build.

I actually don't play meta builds, never did really, i make my own builds, play mostly chronomancer that is at best 1% of total player count (currently 0.7%), and smith of kitava that is also usually at 1%, count as offmeta, no?

And speaking of meta, druid is meta, so it's kinda cringe to you claim that someone else "act like the game came out with a meta build", while playing meta builds yourself.

If you have fun trying builds, why you compare them to other builds. Just play the game. There are things that appear to look OP, there are things that actually OP, but if your fun is trying builds then try builds, why you compare half baked build to something that use couple interactions that look OP but not actually are.

What's comical to me is that the reason the skill combination he's using is so broken is basically... the same old thing since the beginnings of PoE1 which is happening again and again and again...

Overlapping of explosions ("shockwaves") which all can hit the same enemy...

It's just sad at this point...

And well... the fact that the player summoned ice pillars are considered enemies is also just incredibly stupid...

"performs a Lightning-assisted dash that releases shockwaves from enemies you dash through"


Also... people comparing this with Elden Ring and player skill are making my blood boil. Some of the most clueless people I've ever seen.

Devil's advocate but this is exactly meaningful combat.

I agree.

To me, the definiton of meaningful combat is that if the player has Monster IQ, and/or manual dexterity, that can replace the need for gear. Like a no-hit run in Elden Ring, or an honor run in Baldur's Gate 3. This video is an example of that in PoE2.

Maybe something should be nerfed; I don't have a position on that. But I'm very glad this kind of thing is possible.

It's unfortunate that you disagree with us because we've been waiting for the Druid class to be added to PoE for years. Of course, when it was added, we tested it thoroughly and tried to enjoy it. You, on the other hand, took the easy way out and stuck with your previous builds. I advise you to give different things a chance; getting this angry is bad for your health, my friend.

That's why game needs weekly patches. Waiting the next patch is catastrophic for economy and market. Imagine naked chars killing Bosses so easily what will be happen with gear. Ton of drops in an hour that leads to market price raises. Everything is a Domino and should stopped before the last falling wall.

Why the F are you guys arguing here - he is using a weapon. Hollow Palm is meant to play and scale like that. So, the only remarkable thing is him avoiding one shots - this is all. And obviously the video doesn't contain his failed attempts.

Let's say he doesn't have a weapon. What about his other items? I suggest you check his damage between the 28th and 30th second mark.
