Vibe building instead of following guides

Unfortunately this did not work out well. In LE, most skills scale and you can make almost anything viable. By act 3 in POE2, everything was a slog and I was forced to use build guides.

My damage more than doubled but I feel like I am following a build rather than experimenting and creating my own build. The passive skill points and gems have to really be done in certain combos to get the most out of them or you'll spend 10 seconds fighting white mobs.

Just to clarify so we don't get any "misunderstandings" from the devs, this means you need to buff underperforming gems, it doesn't mean you need to nerf what people like to oblivion.

Vibe building will never be a thing in PoE, not with its passives tree at least. LE devs had much easier time balancing with all the restrictions in place, plus the game is just so damn easy in the early game you can finish their campaign on HC just randomply picking skills and items.

Vibe building is great

First you decide on what your build wants to revolve around while leveling, I was planning on trying some fat ignite build for my ritualist fire mage but turns out there just isnt enough ignite magnitude for such a thing unless you do extremely gimicky stuff that simply dont work in all situations.

So i ended up building around ember fusilage which was really fun, you build based on what you need initially, more defense, or more fire damage, maybe fire pen or mana regen and go by that.

You keep going until things become harder at which point you just start looking around what tree changes you can do that increases your DPS in the gem tab

Actually ,PoE2 was promoted in pre release hype videos to be ''play it your own way'' you can do endgame with any passive points and any items...just put together whatever and there you are.

im prety much certain at this point that they built the early game, ran out of time, and were forced to replace POE2's intended end game with POE1.

Now they are SouttaL because - what are they going to do?

I guess they could potentially released the real end game and be like, "gotcha! here it is!"
