Man, reading the complaints people have really shows how bad the average poe player is. I blasted the whole campaign with 2 skills and did so much quicker than the release season.

The QOL changes they made are nice though, much appreciated.

I blasted the whole campaign with 2 skills

Which skills? because yeah, there’s like 4 that does that, and that’s what people are complaining about. It’s only 4

I started with rake and blood herald then swapped to lightning spear and explosive spear somewhere around act 3.

Maybe I just picked the good stuff by luck?

yes… Lightning and Explosive Spear is on the nerf radar as being insanely OP compared to everything else

“If you’re a masochist who enjoys being punished for little to no reward, this game is for you,” reads another negative review.

Hot damn, they made this update just for me? I was holding off checking out POE2 but I guess I should.

It’s sad to see so much hate. I wasn’t reading anything about the patch when it came out and I was digging it, then I checked out reddit and it was all negative. I think at least some of it is just from the nerf patch numbers and not how it actually plays. GGG has a lot of credit with me based on how they’ve run poe1 so that might just be my own bias. They’ll turn it around though, and I’m happy to play through the early access ups and downs.
