Your build will always be worse than the stuff you find only in any freaking game. This is not really an argument, it's just a fact. Normal gamers don't have the time or the benefits in investing so much in a game to learn it inside out.
The game ia not balanced around those too tier builds. The idea was never to melt a boss in 3 seconds. This is the result of a complex game with roo many possible interactions to keep them in check. They are continuously trying to combat power creep.
Off coarse I can figure it out on my own. The point being though is that your own build will always be worse than the stuff you’ll find online. You’ll never gonna figure that stuff out blind. And this is not a skill issue, those top tier builds are a community effort.
And the game is balanced around those top tier builds cause otherwise people are gonna complain that it’s to easy.
So using that example. WoW and Farmville are overcomplicated? Because your builds and farms will never be as good as the top tier min-max players?
I get what your trying to say. You keep restarting it in different ways like we don't grasp what you mean, we know what you are meaning.
What you are trying to say is: I don't like the mechanics. So game is shit universally. Not just to me but also to people that don't realize it's shit.

Exactly. People get the wrong idea, see gameplay, or the 'cream rises to the top' video of hyper twinked characters and get the assumption that is the way it suppose to be: Face melting bosses solo, running tier 15 max pumped maps without even having to stop moving.
And its not. It CAN be done.
When Bosses are group effort (or solo but drawn out), and max juiced/pumped 15 maps are usually ran by rando's grouping up at the portal. Or solo where you have to plan how you approach the groups of mobs as you see them.
Like watching a top Battlefield sniper player and assuming while playing Battlefield you should be one shoting people with no misses, or your gear setup is bad. So you go copy his gear and setup, still not 200/0 KDR and saying the game sucks.

None of the PoE games nailed the coop. I don't think they are even trying to. You never hear them talking about what they did to make coop better, never.
PoE2 is a bit better in this regard though. I played with my friends and it was decent.
I like coop myself in both, PoE2 is better.
The down leveling while keeping all your powers leans hard into: Watch THESE damage numbers! Even at close to the same level the QoL of a few more powers on the higher person is a nice touch.
For powerleveling someone it is nice. Your level 90+ guy leveled down to say 6, and has all his gems, gear, and such just scaled down? If they want they can just follow you as the screen fills with stuff dying rapidly.
I helped my son level his guy past the tedious first 15-20 levels. (the annoying start part)
I manually turned down how many captured mobs I could spawn, disabled my zombie horde all together, and didnt cast..(whatever makes the undead scorpion things) because I was just accidently carrying him.
Otherwise he couldnt get more than one swing at a thing before a wave of undead like a scene from World War Z ran over and swamped the area with attacks.
I don't know if the HP/damage doubles. But they are harder. I can tell if my friend left the zone when we split up to find the exit we need by how much faster the mobs die, and less damage I take.

is there an auto pickup currency mod or something ... look at the speed these people clearing... they arent picking up anything ...
id like some kind of stun boxx build, lightning i guess it is, cause skipping those boss phases that drag out forever i saw in the poe speedrun where they clear campaign in like 2 hours is frigging awesome
is there an auto pickup currency mod or something ... look at the speed these people
I'm not. Well I might be playing that day, but not for that.
New leagues are not a rush to thing for me. If I got builds I am working on, or loot grinding for friends leveling. Or just really enjoying one of my characters, I just stay in the league I am in.
I don't think I ever went to a new league within the first week or two of it being out. Let other people play, flood the trade store, get prices down to reasonable with a HUGE selection of items I can browse. THEN go make a new guy on the new league.
And no official auto looter. But after a while, 99% of loot isn't worth picking up anymore. I filterblade it so anything I am not specifically looking for doesn't even show up as a clickable thing.
