"Kinetic Fusillade League"

Why does the game need so many skills when there's the overpowered Kinetic Fusillade?

Perhaps renaming the league "Kinetic Fusillade League" would make more sense.


It's very sad.

Yeah, I do not like this either...

They released the reliquarian ascendancy and whatever builds they had in mind that can be drafted are none existent...Everyone just plays kinetic fusillade.

Outside of some Miners that were last league, the casual armour stacker smiter, and the try hards streamers that are trying some niched skills and then abandon it for fusillade...

I tried holy hammers and omg, whoever wants to play those skills, be my guest, everyone blasts the game while your hammers cascade in walls and do almost no damage...The damage is there but almost no damage is better put.

I really had hopes that the reliquarian ( considering SCION didn't get any love for a lot of leagues now) would at least have one build that can concur with fusillade, but outside a bleed bow build which is a lower glad version, there is literally nothing else...

I thought the new belt would unblock some of the builds that didn't really have a usage for mageblood, but that didn't do it either...

Like the most hyped league in centuries is just the same as an older league were everyone was playing freeze traps ...

It's like silly bad, league after league build diversity is going lower and lower...Even diablo 2 strives to revive some new interactions, while GGG seem to add chase garbage that does literally nothing to revive other skills.

Like ward loop still works, but GGG butchered it, some other bombers work, but GGG butchers them...Every time something is designed to work and bring a fresh breath of air into the game, GGG butchers it to either unplayable or what they consider "on par", but introduce literally nothing in it's place.

Just don't copy/paste streamer builds?
There are plenty of very good builds around

It's totem, and it's not that good really.
Just can clear maps with low investment, there are faster builds

Check out this guide. I played both KF champ and banner this league and KF is not even in the same galaxy as banner champ. Maybe the self attack warden is better but definitely not KF totem champ.

Why do ppl care about what other ppl play? play what ya want and worry about that!

For real idk why some people complaining about what other people play its not competitif gameplay their is tone of strong build just enjoy your own path stop jalouse on other , your life will be better !

The only people really playing this league are streamers and people watching them though, the retention is super low. Those streamers are doing heavy lifting keeping these people in the game right now, because the league is really just standard+ and all it offers is doing the same league mechanics you've done a million times 2x more per map (sometimes, if it's in range.) Most people stick around for more interesting league mechanics or new content, which this league doesn't have

What did you expect? There's no more loot in the game, not before the ultra late game. Basic things like jewels that used to drop from quests now cost up to 15 div. And unless you're willing to [Removed by Support] for a Zoom build, there are very few builds left that play with few cheap items and work from early on. Fusillade is one of those, I'd even say it's the only one left.

What truly disappoints me is that this build is practically the same as Balisa Explosive Arrow, however EA was practically DELETED from the game, and I won't even go into the melee totems because those were actually removed, including the removal of the Ancestral Totems, which devastated a huge number of builds.

I think that's why Diablo 2 is and always will be the ultimate aRPG. Because its builds are timeless, the terrible habit of nerfing starting builds killed PoE1 for me and already indicates the death of PoE2 before it's even released.

And don't get me wrong, I think balancing is fair, but you can do that by putting more builds on the same level and not removing the ones that work, and WORSE because GGG doesn't nerf builds that farm T17 AFK. They focus on nerfing cheap builds, [Removed by Support]. Unfortunately, GGG's focus is on trading, which is why the drop rate is so miserable today, why builds are so SLOW and expensive, and honestly, I don't want to spend 400 hours farming just to get the same result I used to get in 10 hours.

This is so factual that it's worth highlighting that the ONLY league since the last one to have a retention of +50% after 30 days was precisely the league that had the best drop rate (affliction), where I dropped my first magblood of the league on a T7 map, something unimaginable today.
