PoE 2 has overdesigned inter-class combos that have no emergent potential for cross-class gameplay.

I really love the combat system from PoE2, the limited drops and even the slower speed.

But one thing that makes me turn it off every time is the fact that outside of maybe a few exceptions, the skills feel like they have absolutely no potential to be mixed between classes and were hand tailored to work in a very specific way.

For example, monk makes use of power charges, but no other class does maybe except for witch on zombies. Nothing on the passive tree either, everything is specifically intended for monk or another class using monk skills only. No other skill will benefit from them outside of like 2 support gems.

Another example - remnants. They are intended to be used only on sorceress skills, even though many more classes have elemental powers. And not only that, many skills that consume remnants only consume very specific type. You either learn to follow exactly the same combo the developers designed for you or you will be stuck spamming one skill because nothing will synergize.

Compare this to PoE1 where you could pick literally any weapon, use it with spectral throw, spawn minions on hit, elemental ailments, bleeds, turn it into a mine generating machine with detonate, spread curse contagion with arcing effects, you name it.

And before you start spamming me with some endgame weapon swapping builds - sure, it is probably possible, but to me the fun in PoE1 was that I could pick anything I want and make it work for some time. Maybe it would turn out to be bad in the long run, but the build was mine from the start. In PoE2 it is reversed, I am forced to run on a slighly expanding treadmill and maybe just maybe make something fun later. That to me is the core problem with this game.

What to do?

>>537252489

I'm playing Deadeye not because i'm chasing the meta or have mob mentality.
Game itself is tuned high enough to punish you for playing weak and/or badly designed ascendancies. Those provide close to no fun, no pay-off anytime soon, only suffering.
And those are 80% of available ones.
So that's why i have no other choice than to play Deadeye (or BM/Lich for that matter).
GGG should unironically start working FOR REAL, because what i see now is that they did literally no work on the classes. They simulated the work. They tip toed around an issue and 'fixed' some meaningless shit while leaving what matters (gems, passives, ascendancy passives) in a gutter.
They are both lazy and incompetent. Please, GGG, stop being lazy and incompetent.

Was old Poe (pre 2.0) really that slow? Sure you weren't melting the whole screen in a single shot, but you also didn't move as slow as a slug. I don't mind a lower time to kill but having to combo all the time for even white mobs is painful.

Your movement speed was higher because you'd have boots + quicksilver. I'd say your ttk was probably similar (atleast if you have a bad build) but bosses and tanky rares definitely require more investment to kill. Early poe was all about the numbers and there wasn't much mechanical skill at all imo

That's my recollection of old PoE, you had decent enough mobility but at the same time you couldn't just autopilot with one ability. Rares were super tanky but at the same time it wasn't even necessary to kill them. Heck before the atlas even existed, it wasn't necessary to kill map bosses and if anything many were dangerous enough to not even be worth attempting. I think the danger and risk old PoE had is what people mean when they want a slower game and not moving like a snail. I like the boss fights and how long they last but going through the rest of the campaign is just a slog.

moving backwards while spamming ranged attacks on white mobs over and over and over as you're getting no rewards for doing so other than a passive skill point every now and then that gives you the choice of 5 dex,str or int is such an addictive concept that people will buy it in droves after the free period is over.

unplayable. you get only 2 ballistas baseline, 3 with overabundance, and 4 with the ascendancy node but that means you have to manual attack to make the totems do anything. All i see tacticians being used for is aurawhores with giant's blood and a sceptre offhand

Everything about PoE2 is very self evident why it's a shit show.

They never cared about melee, they included one real melee weapon type and even then just made it mage bullshit in actuality.

They proceeded to make the entire game about bows and crossbows and every skill and feature was creeped for their benefit. You throw a spear at zillion speed and pop the screen? So why would you ever actually stab with the spear?
Then, why would you even do that when you can just use bows? Bows can be used with quivers which also add more stats.

Two handed maces suck, so, well now you kinda mandatory have to wield 2 two handed maces just to function, but this is retarded and ruins the entire item archetypes and now everyone just has to do this.

They were supposed to tone this shit down for poe2, make melee the focus, give characters good combat and distance coverage and make melee really balanced vs ranged.

Instead, they made melee super small distance hits, with accuracy misses, sluggish bad animations that are repetitive and only really hit infront of you vertically for most part, vs bows and mages that can shit out hitscan damage while moving and strafing everything.

The entire game is fundamentally bad for any playstyle that isn't just shoot lightning or shoot arrows or whatever. This hurts the game massively as many people who play games have inherit playstyle preferences and PoE2 says fuck you, if you like sword and board, do not play this game. If you like monster hunter style hammer fun, do not play this game. If you like anything other than being a shotgun or an uzi you will not like this game.

as other anon said, you'd have to design your entire game around melee which means that ranged has to suck, usually. you can do it (see dungeon siege 3 which while not a traditional arpg uses the same mechanics as poe2)

it's possible, you just have to give them special snowflake bonuses, like how diablo 2 does it with crushing blow and find item (technically not melee-specific, but almost is because the barb's only ranged choices are double throw which sucks and warcry which is okay and comparable to melee). in diablo 2 mods, it's very common for melee to be god tier compared to spellcasters since they shower you with chance to cast, crushing blow, uninterruptable attacks, etc. even vanillaish mods like project diablo 2 and path of diablo make melee go from okay-ish to god tier by adding in melee splash

How is the titan boss' hitbox still bugged after all this time? That is unreal
>>
elden ring is an arpg and has a perfectly fine balance of melee vs ranged and many of the melee skills in that game have large area coverage, move you nicely in range and are satisfying to use, and the ranged is still op but not a disparaging amount

You should never allow bows to shoot 12 arrows at a time 40 times a second in any game this is fucking retarded and the shit most core gamers hated about poe1 how retarded it was compared to the roots of diablo

remember, diablo started as pure sword and board and bows you just single fired and shit was balanced

someone just needs to make an arpg where the fucking bows and caster shit isn't just turbo miniguns and swords aren't just swipe swipe in front of you for no range

ds2 is only hated by retards most souls fans in 2025 love ds2 as the dogma of it being different has eroded with time

ds2 is actually Kings Field 5 (the creator of kings field came out of retirement to save DS2 and turn it into a finished game). DS2 has the most interesting scope and secrets and systems of all the games and is the dark horse of an already cult franchise, most people who enjoy souls pvp and multiplayer elements will say ds2 is the best one for this

Actually, they never stop playing souls likes. Dark Souls 3 still has like 30k players and this was more than what poe2 was getting up until the release bump and that game hasnt' had support since 2017.

Elden Ring Nightreign is actually coasting on a very consistant amount of players since launch and they keep adding new boss content etc

ED was a great league starter in 0.2 and they didn't nerf it. In the face of too many unknowns due to troonathan refusing to give us any real gem details or the passive tree etc and cockblocking dataminers, people defaulted to what they knew. that's why LA and EDC are the top league starters.

What’s the verdict on Turtle Charm? Worth it or is it assbutt?
>>
they legit fucked up by making the game the way they did. Going all hard on ranger and what not but not including shadow or duelist etc has completely fucked the balance

They should have made all characters available out of the gate but evenly divided up the amount of skills work across them all and we just have fewer skills to use, but who cares because poe1 you only use 1 anyway.

I think it'd been better and more healthy for the game to figure out balance if all of them were here because what I think is going to happen is once they add new characters and item types all hell will break loose with balance where suddenly maces are complete dogshit compared to swords now etc etc

You don't understand the selection here, the only people represended on PoE.Ninja are the hyper-online, Twitch-streamer obsessed wierdos.
The three builds that were sugested this league by the Online Rabis that educate this clique were Deadeye (by everyone) Lich ED (by a few) and Infernalist minion cuck (By Kripp).
So that's what this selected group of the games playerbase is playing.

Hello Visitor. Don' worry we all feel the same.

>>537261919
The game just came out a few hours ago. No one even played the new acts yet.

It's his way of telling you not to take the skill. At least he is considerate enough to provide an in-game guide to highlight which skills are Johnny boy approved and which aren't

-10% to all resistance in every act makes no sense and feels like dishonest (and really dumb) bandaid to 'spice up' the gameplay.

I rolled Stormweaver and i'm using whatever spell and man the game just feels so boring, like there's nothing exciting at the end of it. When i play PoE1 i have some theoretical vision of what my build could be, moving fast some kind of gimmick, big area, something like that. In PoE2 it feels like you're just using fireball forever and the few mechanics that have spiralled out of control GGG dems aberrant and kills them. Mechanically the game should feel better, wasd and dodge are good but i enjoy it less

Does that mean if i for example do 100 damage i get 6 more fire damage for a total of 106 damage

6% of my damage is fire damage so i still do 100 damage but 94 of it is chaos and 6 is fire

sprint is useless mate. you get stunned while sprinting so its useless in combat. its only for running while nothing is happening, but later on in the game you get movement gems that are faster than sprinting, so it's only for earlier levels.

>>537264373
doesn't really matter
nobody posts actual good builds for the first couple weeks. after a month or so the content creators will spam a bunch of broken builds, which will subsequently get nerfed within days.

so the math works out about the same whether you roll some shit-build or wait. the only way to break the cycle is to be good at improvising your own builds.

no its actually because elemental spells are complete dogshit and deadeye is powerful and has easy access to scaling immediately available. Essence drain contagion is mediocre at best, but is far and away the least nerfed spell in the game right now.

poe is my most played steam game and I actually can't stomach this season. it doesn't even feel like a new season. there's nothing new besides some gay act, the meta is still deadeye and most builds still feel like shit to play since everything is so slow and clunky. its like the took the worst parts of diablo and dark souls and combined them into some failed vision.

Yeah, I'm quitting for now. The infusions are quite interesting, but everything else is just trash. I feel like I'm playing release version of 0.2 all over again. They really need to buff entire weapon types and skills.

Admit it, since GGG changed the gem names and the tree so you can't play the campaign 100% on rails with 100% of choices made for you by a streamernigger you are having a melty instead of enjoying yourself. It's almost like you don't WANT to actually explore a game. You just want to click the endgame slot machine lever faster and get more BING BING BING WAHOO WOWIE ZOWIE A KRANGLED 7 SOCKET FARTRIPPER BOW I WON MOMMY!!!!!!

I've been blind up until this point, I saw Blood Mage and thought I could play a spell bleed build, just to find there aren't any bleed spells. I like the boss fights but I just haven't found any ability that clicks, closest thing is maybe the bone spells but even that doesn't fit the archetype I was hoping for.
At least Blood Mage seems generically powerful, maybe I'll be a Bleed melee or bow instead on the Blood "mage" kek.
>>
>>537267334
Yes. The levels give a lot of damage.
>>
>>537267523
Really? Eventhough the stats are worse?
>>
>>537267395
You have to use your now-instant weapon swap to create combos that don't exist right now but might someday.
>>
>>537267572
The stats are also better.

>Inb4 "you can use ele spells"
But most of these ele skills either do really frequent but low damage hits or are on a cooldown. Sounds cool in theory but annoying in practice, I just decided on the leech node and the Petrified Blood node for now.
>>
Did they add any new spells in this update? I opened the Witch skill gem and it looks exactly the same as before.
>>
>>537267572
Depends on the skill but usually it's better to have high physical than low phys high elemental damage.
So yes left is better

this would be a better post if we didn't know that most builds went practically unchanged dumbass

Why doesn't GGG just make skills...not feel like shit to play? It would only take 1 hour of gameplay per skill to test these things and Woodful himself says he plays 6 HOURS PER DAY.

Everyone please lie and say the game is perfect so that the devs will go back and work on 3.27. If the devs realize the game is still worse than it was in 2019 they will pull resources from PoE 1 again and we'll have another year of noleague.

Having a shit weapon was crippling you so not having one with a baseline damage increase off palm is going to be better this is how it is with every skill that takes dmg off your weapon and why most are dog shit

Ignore that feeling of "this game is shit." The game is meant to feel and play like dogshit because it is designed for mentally ill losers.

>>537269162
Play deadeye LA / rods
Boneshatter warrior
Hollow palm monk
ED contagion lich
Stormweaver infusion
Infernalist minions
Or just beat geonor and come back when they do another one inevitably because you got no build variety right now
>>
>>537269162
to not play the game because it sucks

then i'm probably going to fall of hard as I continue
anything I should be aware of as a new player? I don't want to rely on builds or guides and want to mostly discover as I go
>>
>>537269162
you should know that the free weekend doesn't matter because there's no way to access the actual game (endgame/market warfare) as a free weekender. the campaign is just there to waste the time of the people who want to play the actual game.

those three rare sheps are the end of the abyss. you have to kill them to open the cluster of chests. i've only seem them cast the predictable meteors and this annoying instant lightning that they hit you with if you get to close to them, but they usually just try to fuck off and run away so it's pretty easy to take them down at range.
