And lets not forget, the 50%+ players of poe2 disagree or they wouldn't play the most popular screen clearer.
D4 had this with spiritborn and that suuucked it basically killed any interest left over from pre-xpac
When every streamer is playing it and the top builds are all using it and it's the only S on tier lists it's OP to the point everyone who looks up a build will play it too and sulk because gear is too expensive and blame the loot tables because they aren't getting the OP gear to go with the OP build
meanwhile nothing else gets any attention
This happens with players even without the most popular build. PoE players stopped trying to "figure" things out as it became more mainstream, especially around atlas of worlds release.
I remember alkaizer using whirling blades to farm dried lake.. times have changed.

Most other builds are not screen clear, they are pack-at-a-time clear which I get the impression is their preferred clear rate
I think this is what GGG wants as well.
IMO the gold standard is act 1-2, they need to walk a fine line between balancing endgame progression and not having you turn into a literal god. This means balance for the monsters too.

yeah i played firemage in that xpac, got reeled in with the story and groupplay with old work colleagues, the hardest part was them all playing the new FOTM Spiritborns, because you actually didn't play.
same here, I played a incinerate lich to 96 in 0.2 but even with gg gear I couldn't match a fraction of LS clear. Its just not fun. same as in D4, and thats a problem. aw well june will be poe1 again, so who cares.
But my original point stands, players are not interested in slow methodical playing, even my specc was neither slow nor methodical, i just killed everything while holding down a mouse button: https://youtu.be/bLzOCWefPII
Facts vs vision.
Current Build: Penance Brand

less facts vs vision and more that your dopamine receptors are fried from all the other arpgs and you havent tried D2 Classic SSF non-soso/LF playthrough in a while.
