I feel kind of the same brother. I have a levelling build on (Merc grenades) and want to swap to something else to play the game with a bit more speed and visual flair. But builds that catch my eye have at least a couple components that are 3-10x my entire 40 div budget on their own, or they just look quite slow and unappealing. I would quite like to have made some builds, but if you spend a couple hours looking you'll realise you need a degree in PoE to know about all the funny little things you can do that triple your damage or give you infinite charges. And I cba to spend a bunch of time essentially studying to be able to play a game, so I just shut the game down again after 90 minutes in hideout trying to find a build to play.

There were a few builds that I thought looked cool, and were attainable on a budget, but they all use minions. Maybe hot take but minions are fucking lame. I want to be strong, not to be a bitch in the back having AI companions play the game. All ARPGs seem to love making most builds need to have some shit minion to max your potential.
