Stat requirements are unbelievably frustrating

constantly fighting stat requirements is not an enjoyable experience. This game is not enjoyable period. I realize GGG is trying to use "requirement" stat, which is just dumb all the way around. NO ONE wants to sacrafice core stats like resistances and damage and life for requirements. The trade offs are not good at all......:(

How I see it is that the stat requirements are a core part of balancing. EV/ES builds using dex skills for example need to juggle between int and dex, while wanting to maximize their strength with what they have left.

Without the requirements, those builds would get a significant boost. And they're already pretty stronk.

Curses and marks would also be ran a lot more. If you could take a level 18 vulnerability on your warrior for no downside, why would you not?

Still better than link coloring in PoE 1. Now this is the worst.
