Playing anything besides LS feels bad.. is it going to be 3 months of LS?
" It's quite sad what happened to Pconc. It was my build of 0.1 and I did very well with it. It was a solid starter, but was able to scale in endgame aswell. After reading the 0.2 changes I knew the build was dead. It wasn't overpowered before and they cut everything, damage, defense and even flask sustain. Never tried to play it again, but it must feel very sluggish now. |

GGG really enjoys micro managing what build people play.
They try to control the meta. They're obsessed with controlling everything, instead of just making lots of things have potential to be strong and letting people play what they want. Also someone on the team has a major hard on for lighting skills. Not only do they almost always inherently chain which is god tier powerful but in POE2 they can basically FREEZE as well. There's zero reason to play anything except the meta, unless you want to suffer and go 5x slower. |

Relax little boy. You new here, huh? Seems you dont know how ggg handles this. Listen, i will explain.
With new season, everything that made fun, will be nerfed to oblivion, inclusively ls. The new class will also come with a new weapon. This one will be op as F and 70% of the plsyer base will play that new weapon, doesnt has to be the new class, but the new weapon. Every other classes and weapons will be more or less useless. Thats the way how ggg balance stuff and makes you have fun. Specially the auction house is their absolute master mind work. |

don't worry LS, along with anything else that was used by more than 0.5% of the playerbase will be gutted and nerfed so hard you wouldn't want to play it again.
This Aug 29 league better add a lot of end game content, because breach and ritual only is boring AF. I'm not even going to play it if they don't add something that looks amazing. |

Path of Exile 1 ended up becoming a bullet hell ARPG
They have repeated the same mistake PoE 2 is a Vampire Survivor Bullet-Hell ARPG Everything favors ranged combat, everything is anti melee, even the trials don't want you to be melee They need to replace their combat team Hopefully with 0.2 fiasco, Tencent put some of their in house devs in charge of the combat May 0.3 be melee combat league, may they nerf projectiles/explosions May monster be given good AI |

" PoE is not bullet hell, you can only evade shot before they shot (by prediction). While farming you just repeat best learned pattern and ignoring almost anything that happens on screen. |

" How is that even true when the king of hardcore PoE2 league is mace and shield. There's a lack of diversity in melee options, we are missing a lot of melee weaponry but there are options. Monk isn't strictly a melee with its many ranged abilities, easy CC's and Flicker but I can definitely see melee as a work in progress for the casual audience at some point. It definitely works for try hards, no question and if anyone's salty like Asmongold was about the early game difficulty/clear speeds thats fine, just prioritize the fun you're after and go a Necro because clearly some of you are very impatient and want easy mode builds. |

" I find Sekhemas easier on a shield melee because I can control whether a hit hits me or not just by raising the shield and lots of melee skills work from range or at least can be initiated at range. My easiest time with Big Z at the end of the 4th trial was with a warbringer with some thorns damage. The combat in this game is glorious and the only melee we have are maces and quarterstaves (and spears I guess, but they feel kinda hybrid). Once we get swords, axes, flails, daggers, (claws?) and more skills and supports, it's likely only to get better. Seriously it's some of the best combat I've felt in any ARPG ever... calling for the combat team to be replaced?? I mean you can look at the concentration of warriors that exist in HC to see just how "anti melee" the game is. แก้ไขล่าสุดโดย karsey#2995 เมื่อ 14 ส.ค. 2025 11:35:34

" chain screen wide explosion doesn't constitute melee you miss the whole point besides: PoE 2 = joke https://streamable.com/c8ebpm vs NRFTW = satisfaction https://streamable.com/b856e8 แก้ไขล่าสุดโดย ryuukk33#4998 เมื่อ 15 ส.ค. 2025 02:56:27

" What potential does the game you highlighted have? How can you have a heavily scaling APRG with so many classes and builds and promote something like a melee class swinging heavily and simply while something like a Mage is chaining and blowing up the screen, you want something like a 20ft weapon in your type of game? I think your fantasy ideas are limited and/or heavily traditional and that's fine, POE2 is the further evolution of top down arpg play and clearly you're not vibing with it. Just play a less indepth or grounded game or there's a ton of promise in Ashe's of Creation down the line. แก้ไขล่าสุดโดย TrunktenUK#3407 เมื่อ 16 ส.ค. 2025 03:46:53
