PoE is free to play shit where dimwits google where to put points every time they level up and after go online to explain everyone how in PoE you have so much build freedom
I played PoE years ago and I went in totally blind. Played some ranged gunner and finished the campaign. I really tried to analyze the skills and skilltree to make my own build but the thing that always happens in arpgs when you go in blind happened which is you either become a damage monster that dies in 1 hit, or you become an unkillable tank with no damage. I became a glasscannon. At that moment I realized if I wanted to progress I had to read guides to get the proper builds and I just chose to quit the game instead. Had fun playing the campaign blind but that was it.
PoE is very based for allowing the greatest fantasy fighting style ever, DUAL WIELD WANDS
However, it also cringe because DUAL WIELD WANDS isn't the best build in the game, which is unrealistic as Wizards are already very strong so a Double-Wizard should be better than anything.
Divinity OS2 definitely has an extremely powerful wandslinger endgame. >Counts as double-attacks >Dual-Wield scaling >General ranged high-ground scaling >Can still CC if the wands have any kind of appropriate property >Since they're normal attacks they can't be interrupted by silence or any other spell-disrupting status
Diablo 4 will be "new" for about a week if you're casual. 3 days maybe if you're sweaty. Now if that's worth dropping $70 to you, maybe instead you take that $70 and go buy a week+ of junkfood you'll enjoy more.
>ackshully guys the remake is bad and the original is way better and more SOVLful >god im such a maverick
Old good new bad is the default state of this trash site anon, you’re not special
Where the hell have you been? Every thread I see about D2R has anons saying it's better than the original. It might be all bait or blizzdrones doing what blizzdrones do, but still.
You can continue playing Path of Exile and give Diablo a try. If Diablo ends up sucking, which most likely will, then drop it. But why should it suck? You people eat up garbage like RDR2 and the mediocre RE 4R. At least give Diablo a genuine try.
I'm already seeing flaws in the design. Like how Necro's +15% movement skill is bound to doing darkness damage aka blighted corpse explosion. So you get insane massive screen covering aoe dot damage that even stack under bosses and getting +15% movement speed to boot? Why would I ever use like bone spear or any of that shit that is less aoe and doesn't reward you with any movement speed in the skilltree? They should've made it a separate thing in the tree not bind it to some damage type. Big mistake.
Because it is better at it in everything that matters.
Anything POE does better is completely theoretical and doesn't matter in practice. You are just gonna copy/paste a youtube build and click the same 2 skills. Only people with EXTREME autism can parse through a convoluted system like that on their own.
D4 is obviously going after the casual audience. Serious PoE players will probably play through the campaign and then drop it forever or maybe come back for a day or two on season drop because there’s no depth. I don’t think Blizzard is targeting the turbo autist niche that PoE captures (and even if they were, they no longer have the design chops to pull it off).
>D4 is obviously going after the casual audience
This. Blizzard doesn't want to make a game like Diablo 2, which is still thriving after 25 years. They want a game that people will play and drop within the year, so they can shit out a sequel for more money.
>only like 3-4 skills are useful each league >if you use anything other than them you are objectively gimping yourself as they are like objectively 10x worse
If you play this game thinking you can go with the mindset like "Oh this cold spell I found is cool, guess I'll play witch and do a cold damage build" you are totally fricked. As that cold spell will be useless to use compared to the current meta skills.
Diablo 3/4 has the best combat in the genre in that it feels the most satisfying due to great animations/sounds/feedback. But PoE is free, and has more variety in builds with less RNG involved. That being said whats the point of having lots of builds when they all feel the exact same?
The only other ARPG that felt as good is The Ascent. Its clearly hard to make smooth isometric gameplay and PoE just aint good at that.
>POEgays hating patch notes for new league
Enjoy your slower leveling through Acts you've played 20 times. Also wild how 10% of the playerbase uses melee builds, how do you frick up that bad
that guy looks cool
the gem/skill system is complete and utter garbage

>I did this so everyone does this!
Literal NPC
Name 5 builds that worked in endgame map clearing that were from your own creation.
to be fair if you look on steam cheevos i think it's like something around 2% of people even go to the map thing
>no maps
you didn't play the game
except my friend i did in fact play the game.
even have my kiwi.
>/oos
no, i'm not logging in
no, you won't get a screencap

You shouldn't unless D4 has good trade
I dont have to mash my 5 flasks every 5 seconds

thanks but I still pre-ordered D4 for the fine female necromancers
not gonna lie I'm going necro too only due to the model. I'd rather go sorc but every face looks ugly
>sorc
mask her up, like putting a bag on her head
no way that top is in a blizzard game in 2023
it is
see
it's called a binder
oh shit my femnec excitement made me link to a vid the Sorc does have underbob tho
Notice the severe lack of breasts?
no I can see clear under-boob.
you're trying too hard and it's obvious.
Alright, let's see the same outfit on a buxom woman instead of an androgenized, shapeless form.
>severe
god westoid models are so fricking ugly
>god westoid models are so fricking ugly
please do not post pictures of western game developers, thanks
Fricking hell, just watch SFMs you witless cumbrain
cool.
I could go back do the same thing for D2 but no one would care.
Exactly, because the end result was good.
genderlocked classes are gay, diablo figured that out fricking decade ago
I'm gonna say it:
D2R is worse than D2 and I'm tired of seeing Ganker say it's better.
Who the frick says that? Nothing Blizzard's done has been widely positively received here since original Overwatch.
>ackshully guys the remake is bad and the original is way better and more SOVLful

Where the hell have you been? Every thread I see about D2R has anons saying it's better than the original. It might be all bait or blizzdrones doing what blizzdrones do, but still.
every d2r thread devolves into people b***hing about the ugly Amazon or moronic new runewords like mosaic
feels better to play.
maybe PoE2 will make it better but D4 showed us in two weekends that gameplay > stats.
D4 is going to be another game that people log in to for a day and a half once a year
depends on how how the end-game push is and how fun PvP is
PoEsisters you said Diablo was dead what the frick is happening?
What's really funny is that poe has its own launcher that doesn't require steam at all so the player number is actually much higher
it's not an mmo though and LOL once you pay they got your money
I know always online is gay but D4 is pretty much a single-player game until you want to do world bosses.
>world bosses
i'm not even going to touch them and i bought the big spender edition with head start
what a frickin qt3.14

i played sorc and rogue or whatever and got bored after finishing campaign with rogue
Why would I play D4 when DI exists?
Because they want to and are free to do so.
I'm already seeing flaws in the design. Like how Necro's +15% movement skill is bound to doing darkness damage aka blighted corpse explosion.

Things like that are easily fixed though.
>Path of Exile
Why are Chinks still shilling this shit game here?
tencent owned, for one
Because it is better at it in everything that matters.

don't you have to use some third party tool and have like a degree in spreadsheets to get a build going in paths of exited
No you fricking scumbag. Learn to think on your own.
lmao w/o pob the game would be dead. you import builds like they are bookmarks haha
What build we running once D4 drops bros? I'm thinking I'm gonna be maxing out my Attack and Defence stats, what about you?
Gonna have to study the wide range of aspects to see what synergizes the best.
femnec/fembarb
corpse bomber/disheval
**upheveal
ummm 99% of the people that play path play that tool called PoB
D4 is obviously going after the casual audience.

D2 is a casual game for casuals anon. Doing the same mindless shit for 20 years via a wiki doesnt make you "hardcore".
Imagine playing pooe after all these nerfs.
>only like 3-4 skills are useful each league
>if you use anything other than them you are objectively gimping yourself as they are like objectively 10x worse

The new and shiny thing that their friends want to play, that's it
Diablo 3/4 has the best combat in the genre in that it feels the most satisfying due to great animations/sounds/feedback. But PoE is free, and has more variety in builds with less RNG involved. That being said whats the point of having lots of builds when they all feel the exact same?

Some people don't like finding out their character is shit after investing hours into it

Sneaky sneaky. Still not buying an always online game tho. Hard pass from me.

Enjoy your slower leveling through Acts you've played 20 times. Also wild how 10% of the playerbase uses melee builds, how do you frick up that bad
