Over 60% of players are playing "Lightning Spear". Where is the build diversity?

This Dawn of the Hunt is a failure.

Failed to balance patch or maybe they just don't care

careful how you type that...

There will never be build diversity in this game. POE1 is the same way.

So get used to it.

You could literally play flame dash totems and it'd be better than most of "dev approved" PoE2 builds.

I don't think its all the devs, but somebody on the dev team who is in charge thought that 'parry' was something players would actually do in endgame.

Why people keep parroting about endgame? A tiny FRACTION of the players reach endgame. It is only logical that their balance priority is CAMPAIGN!

100% agree, another spark sorc, DONT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE AND NERF IT WHILE YOU CAN.
You have changed the game entirely so players actually have to work for endgame bosses, and at the same time you add a build which 60% of playerbase can make all content in 2 div range.
Awesome.

Unfortunately since so many players are playing it, nerfing it now would certainly kill the game. With last epoch coming up, it's definitely a bad decision business-wise for them and they most likely won't touch LS till next league.

Pray for nerf for OP build like LS and hope for slight buff/balance for rest of the builds. This game doesnt need op build. When OP build appears- everyone runs it + this ruins economic way faster. imo.
If we continue seeing builds OP like this then online of this game gona be in a deeps of ocean like poe1. WE need poe 2 not poe 1

poe2 at its actual state is a no go.

i have 1800 hours in the game, season 0.1 was good, enjoyable, had laughs had frustrations. 0.2 i feel like a cripple using 30% movement, 1 build is viable, spend too much making maps to get nothing back, 7000ES + 1600 life gets one shotted but yet they took out grim feast and buffed other types of damage so you have no choice but to die so you spend the little remaining currency you dont spend in maps buying omens. how this is going to attract people? I have zero clue. I honestly see this game dying if this issues are not addressed, 0.3 is another chance they have, they do the same as 0.2 and poe2 will be diablo5

Build diversity doesn't exist because GGG nerfed almost everything viable in high end content to the point of not being playable.
The game is trying to move in two completely different directions.


If 1000 builds are super strong NOTHING is stopping people who prefer slower gameplay from playing the way they prefer.
If almost nothing is super strong then almost everything is trying to stop people from playing the way they prefer.

If 1000 builds are normal nothing stops u from minmaxing 1 build and do something worth.
ATM most build a awful its true, but we dont need fast op builds cuz if we have one theres no point to play other builds, this is it.
And if every build is op- what the point of playing a game? People already clearing endgame in 2 days after release.
People should progress though game till t4 bosses in a month IMO, not faster. And then for another 2-3 month farm it and trade etc,etc, so developers have time to present new league.

Thank god ggg dont follow guys like you, who wants op everywhere, cuz if so game would die not in 2 days - week (when people farm EVERYTHING), but instantly. U gona witness t1+ bosses farm nextday

If u want fastpathing game go and play moba, cs, cod idk. This game is supposed to live for 2-3+ month till new league, u CANNOT give people op that ruins economics and rushes though all content in few days and then watch at empty online cuz nothing to do here

PS:atm game balance is bad, need to buff a lot of builds BUT NOT TO OP STATE. You need to fight bosses, not onetap them. Also i dont understand why no nerfs to OP builds. This is pathetic

Lighning spear is naturally my style so im playing it. Im playing ritualist and not amazon so im not even close to the meta. Im getting 40-50k dps running t15 maps.

Im using lightning spear but not even close to the same build as others.

Awesome.

That was made not intentionally, another yet fk up as it was with altar plates, which proofs me they didn’t play test before launch. i hope they nerf to oblivion all spear skills as they did to other classes. Im willing to watch how those fanboys crying while playing “meaningful combat” as they desire. But it will not happen, Jonathan already proved because community trust already at the bottom. Everyone is waiting LE new season to drop this down of the hunt. 0 build versatility, 0 endgame content, acts are torture, only few classes are playable because it works with spear well.
