To you noob cakes struggling with the trials.

Use "blink" skill to teleport through gauntlets. If you can't clear packs efficiently *and* boss without taking a bunch of damage, then you don't have a build, and I suggest you find one. Every class has multiple build options for doing this. Git gud, git bild, or git rekt, git mad.

You are so rude and toxic that I wish we could downvote you to hell instead of giving you clowns.

Malding manchildren need to learn how to take the L with stride and adapt and overcome instead of whining and complaining.

They will just cry harder prob till they nerf all mobs even though I think this game is easier then PoE at launch by 1031231232% honestly lol.

Bro, I remember PoE1's beta, people were getting clapped in 1 shot by Rhoa charges, not even rare Rhoas, but normal ones. Noobs were getting steamrolled by Rhoas right out of the gate, the salt was real.

I rush people's 4th trial for 30ex. This one kid said he didn't have 30ex orbs, but had some other stuff. So I took his 10ex + 10 chaos + 1 divine orb, completely cleaned him out. I fleeced another kid out of a perfect jeweler's orb, same situation, he didn't have 30 actual ex orbs, so I asked him to post what orbs he had, and took the perfect jewelers.

I hope they never nerf these trials so I can keep taking noobs to the cleaners.

poe2, now, 100% is easier than poe1 launch, and for quite a while after.

Day 1, poe2 was medium-difficulty.

In OG poe1, most builds had to take nothing but health nodes or else you would get constantly 1-shot.

It literally got the nickname "path of health nodes".

Imo there have been very few points where poe was hard from alpha to now. Tedious yes (as in get the health or get bent and the horrbile map system early on) But still pretty easy as long as you built accordingly.

PoE 1 beta / release was much harder but it was easier to blame the game for being overtuned and adjust to those parameters (get health, learn to kite or tank based on your defense type, etc.) because most people playing the game had experience with arpgs.

PoE 2 is actually easier but relies on reaction times and the ability to track what is going on on-screen. It is harder on the psyche because you see other people with less gear, less stats, etc and they clear stuff 1st try. This is a harder pill to swallow. More so if you are just coming here for the 'souls-like d4 killer' trend and don't understand how both genres work independently, much less cohesively.

PoE 2 seems FAR more forgiving when it comes to builds, fixing builds and allowing for less-than-meta builds to get further in the game. You can't just follow a guide and get 1 button meta builds from the web and immediately oneshot the whole way to maps. You can get op builds before they're nerfed but ur still gonna hit a skill wall. You can, however, use skill, positioning and good ole-fashion luck to get further than your gear would get you in PoE 1.

If you don't remember the rhoas, plz don't say PoE 1 was easier in beta. Jamanra's ice wind skill giving you issue? Try walking out to map Act 1, area 2 during beta. There was no dodge roll or cute little 'plz stand here' invulnerability.

Hold on to your Iron Helm and 2 spell gems, things are about to get good.

no issue with gauntlets, issue with losing 1/5 of my honor when hit a single time

If you look at some of the poe threads this is still the case for a lot of new comers, getting smoked by hillock, after 2 weeks they eventually pass hillock then complain about the stun lock deaths by RHOA's lol, poe is not as simple as games such as d4 where the hand holding experience is almost cinematic, while others don't want to learn the basics and just blame the game for bad game design because the boss doesn't spend half a minute in a cinematic animation giving them enough time to roll out of the way or throwing 20 legendary items at them after they kill it.

Not sure I recall you in POE 1 alpha, or beta?? But whatever..

This is the type of person who gets banned in POE2 and doesn't know why lol. The point of EA is to find what feels best and tweak what doesn't. Considering trials is a universally hated concept (Primarily sekhmas) they are tweaking it to be less punishing. Don't like it? Don't worry about it, you are the minority who actually enjoys the way the honor system works. However, they don't make money off of listening to the minority, do they?
