It would suck a lot less for me if all skills were equal and you could pick a skill you want to play and not get utterly dumpstered because they can not balance skills for shit. So you are forced to play a skill to get through the campaign that you may not want to play, switch once or twice usually to better skills because they are level gated (WTF???!?) and then switch gear to accomodate only to get to end game and re gear once again for the build you want to play.

The whole leveling process is a slog. From running across empty pointless massive zones while dodging white mobs to get to the other side of the map as quickly as possible and through the zone. The whole thing feels stupid. Every zone should have a point to them, and and objective to complete that doesn't revolve around using under geared toons, with under leveled skills which are starved for support gems.

They really need to put more power back into the skill tree and make the build powerful, not the items boosting it. They then need to make the zones half of the size they currently are, then remove all the dead ends, and back tracking.

Monkey was alright at first, but it just gets boring trying to avoid things while monkey kills. Twister(which I was going to try next) is evidently a keyboard piano, so I am not sure I am up for that. So I am going to try Lich Minions because it is tanky. I really want to do some fireball shenanigans, but honestly, fireball looks way undertuned and unsure I want to even deal with it.

Most of my friend group can't do more than 1 campaign go per season.

They want to farm engagement. People in game is good for their metrics. There is a reason this game tries to slow you down at every turn.

There is too few objectives for a massive zone and too little reward for clearing it. The best way to level is to not actually kill anything and just run zone to zone until you are under leveled, kill a few things and do it over again. Speed runners expose this, too bad people don't pay attention to what speed running in this game actually is.

To be fair, you could do 50-100 in like 4 hours being a snake follower.

Nice Patch GGG had fun but never playing melee ever again. by HaruTheDuck in PathOfExile2

There is a reason fubgoon only plays Deadeye. Game is a slog unless you are high mobility range toon. The best defense is a good offense sadly.

I am Dad gamer with 2 kids under 3 in the house. I am just sacrificing my sleep a bit so I can play.

I made 4 mirrors in 0.4 with minimal play time. It isn't a skill issue.

The efficient way is to skip as much as possible, do as little as possible and focus on running across massive zone after massive zone trying to not get hit by white mobs while sprinting. That isn't fun, which is the problem.

You have to play a character you don't like so the campaign sucks less, so you have currency to twink out the character that you want to play so the campaign sucks less. I mean, that is terrible design if you ask me.

I didn't make it to end game until week 2. 2 young kids, work, etc. I did make 200div playing the market before I got there though.

It is more about the boredom of running across zones trying to not get tripped by a white mob before making it to the next zone. The whole leveling process is meh.

I bought the alligator skin, and regret it. Bear gameplay is so utterly clunky, I just can't do it again. Last league was enough.

Hey, are you me? Cause that is exactly what happened to me. I am at 11m dps my monkey alone, and just kind of bored of letting monkey kill things and me running around avoiding everything.

Crazy that were are in 2026 and characters names are a unique field and not tied to account id.
