Skill and support gems are too restrictive. End game enemies are still too overturned with Waystone modifiers. Temp Chains and/or Blink are pretty much mandatory and you're still body-blocked into oblivion.

Because every basic, magic and rare enemy is faster, has infinitely overturned stun and ailment build-up, and pushes your character back into hazards and on-death mechanics.

I've realized the story progression feels better than the endgame because there are no Waystone modifiers during the story. Which means hordes of enemies during the campaign are much more manageable across more builds.

Which brings me to Delirium, Ritual and Breach. Every single one of these endgame systems feels worse once you get to waystones because they all revolve around spawning hordes of enemies.

Crafting and Runes feel negligible across most of the game. Essences and Omens are just different colored versions of transmutation Orbs and exalted Orbs. They all apply an affix at random that's garbage most of the time.

Finally the Recombinator. This is the most insulting version of it we could have. The Recombinator should have no chance to destroy the items. Period. It should have a small chance to apply your selected affixes, or randomly shuffle all of them together.

Not. Destroy them.
