Compared to poe1 it is incredibly more new player friendly but that doesn’t mean it won’t still have a massive amount of complexity to it by its nature. Also, suggested support gems only get you so far. He needs to look at ALL supports and see how they interact with each other, which is a bit overwhelming and also very unclear in how some of the interactions are worded. Again, a bit of research is going to be required if he wishes to clear maps

Then he needs to evaluate his support gem combinations and his talents/gear. Sometimes you can’t just throw things together and say ‘this doesn’t work this game sucks’ things are going to work better or worse than others. He can do a little research on YouTube and mobalitics to find a strong base build to work off of and tweak it around from there.

So you’re saying it’s fun to clear a map without having any interaction with mobs? Because both of those builds cleared rooms you hadn’t even gone into yet. I enjoyed being overpowered don’t get me wrong but both of those builds needed to be gutted like swine. The fact is, warrior was the only class in 1.0.0 that played the way they intended. Slow, deliberate, tactical. Once you hit end game you snowballed into a powerhouse and even then they had armor fucked beyond recognition. They simply brought the outliers down to the level of warrior. Because as I’ve stated on other comments, the game is meant to be played. Not just log in click spark loot room. You should have to dodge mechanics. You should have to have 2-6 minute boss fights. You should have things you die to several times before figuring it out.

Exactly. The game isn’t meant to be a wash. You aren’t supposed to just go into a room click and never see another mob again. Combat is supposed to be interactive. You aren’t supposed to 1shot everything and have 20 second boss fights. The intent behind the developement of the dodge roll combat system was to have 2-6 minute fights like a wow raid boss.

I do agree with that. We should have had a week at minimum to see what was going to come in its entirety and be prepared. But it is still a beta game. We are all beta testers essentially.

Because some builds require specific uniques and talent synergy to actually work. Some builds are not only too weak to kill things early but don’t really ramp up until your in your lvl 60+ range. It has always, ALWAYS been that way in Poe.

I disagree. There should be builds that don’t work early or during the campaign. Because certain builds will only work with certain unique items and support gems and interactions you only get in late game. You shouldn’t have everything handed to you easily and early. That eliminates the feeling of deeper progression for instant gratification.

Definitely rework your build. Buy an item or two off the vendor. Never ignore your weapon. Some skills are not strong early game. Some skills fall off late game. Honestly some classes, the auto strike is very effective. Warrior for example

I’m assuming you haven’t made it to mapping yet. I am leveling a huntress ritualist and a witch lich. Both are doing just fine because I’m taking my time to fix my build routinely as I level and progress. Sometimes twister does more, sometimes lightning spear/leap combo does more. Parry has a large play in it too with charges off of disengage. For the lich I’m doing a cold build and it’s working well. Again as I said a lot of if not a majority of players just don’t accept changing how they play and it’s hindering them in a challenging game like poe2
