If 20 mil dps builds exists why do you even keep trying to balance this game?

The problem with this mentality is that it stems from there being items that are obviously broken. That's the only reason they're so expensive.

They won't nerf these items though, instead they're busy trying to figure out how to cost me another skeleton.

Crit builds op

I joined a guy earlier who was doing breach boss runs with my monk and my summoner build.

On my minion build I have every damage node possible and a legacy +5 minion scepter with double attack speed and additional damage. Using lich for the aura, double curses and nettle ants I have about 800k dps when they're buffed with sacrifice. I though this was pretty good. I run around in boss fights for a minute or so and the spirits + spectres + undead do the thing. No issues with endgame stuff.

This guy starts the fight and hits the boss about twice for like 40 million damage. With spark. It's not even a spell you can target things specifically with.

Like why? This doesn't even make any sense you would change ANYTHING about how the mechanics of gems or ascendancies work if these type of builds exist.

Before I did this I spent a good 3 hours trying to figure out why my monk was changed to make it so hard to get power charges.. once I figured it out (alternate hand of chalyula for snipers mark and combat frenzy) I thought I was doing pretty good when all of the planets align and everything crits I can hit a boss for like 2 mil.

It's nothing compared to what some builds can do with zero sacrifice except spending some mana.

This whole game is broken and I'm about to just stop playing it.

What's the issue? No need to try other builds and just stick with meta/broken builds? Or are you saying the issue is balance?

They don't "balance" anything.
They obliterate the builds people find entirely.

Nerfs need to happen for sure but they do them in the most absurd way.

It's obviously a beta, mega busted things are going to exist but holy hell they just seem utterly incapable of reasonably tuning anything.

Build diversity would be in a FAR better place if said builds were still viable...
Then we wonder why so many people are on LA Deadeye lol.

The issue is there's no way to set the various encounters in the game to any sort of standard when you allow these 20-40 million dps builds to exist, regardless of how expensive you make them.

It makes you feel like you "should" be trying a broken build just to feel competent. Or should you? Who fucking knows the balance is so out of whack. Is my build good? It can do all of the content slowly.. but compared to a broken build it feels like trash. Should I attempt to make a build that's broken? How broken is it? What if they nerf the thing that makes it broken next? How do you know what that thing is?

It's just a never ending hamster wheel of not knowing wtf is going on in this game that is annoying.

I could easily set a target and spend X amount of hours building a char to be competitive with other broken builds but why do that when you never have any idea what's being nerfed next because there's no standard. I had 5 versions of my Demon hunter nerfed in diablo 3 when it came out each taking a decent amount of times to build out. Eventualy I just quit playing because I could not even hang with my friend who played monk that they never touched. He never had to do anything to his char they just kept nerfing MY ideas lol. It feels like this with deadeye and other ranged (mostly lightning) builds in PoE2. Is this how the game is supposed to be played? Run around 1 shot everything on the screen? Sure are an AWFUL lot of builds doing it if not..

This is my issue I suppose. Thanks for asking me to clarify because I don't think I was clear in the first post.

So many builds are busted. They are way way stronger than lightning spear ever was it is so insane. Like summoner is literally a walking simulator with 10k es literally zero chance to die. Not even srs was this op in 0.1. Deadeyes obviously ridiculous.

The game is not even out and already need acomplete rebalance.
