I get the desire to monetize but it's a dead end. GGG is going to end up taking a big ol' dump on everyone that tries to turn the in-game build manager in to someone else's dollars while pissing off the community at the same time.

I think making a LLM for poe would require being able to model the damage accurately, something even POB can't fully do for many skills and skill/item interactions. I have though on multiple occasions making my own model for Poe but that hurdle basically makes it a project I think I'm woefully ill equipped to deal with. I think having a model though that could answer basic questions and parse simple data like "what melee skill has the best scaling in respect to..." would be totally doable and an interesting project. I'm sure people much smarter then me are already scaffolding this.
LLMs will do this successfully, once you can have them farm the game like "wow glider" for you.

Edit - I've also never used a build guide in either Poe. Probably to my detriment in poe1 (although I've never attempted a pinnacle boss), but I can typically farm t16s.

In poe2, nothing at endgame has seemed remotely as difficult yet, and the cash respecs, versus using only orbs, makes it insanely easy to try out different passive tree combos until it works.

In POE2 the tree is really not the problem. 3/4 of ths shit on there is trash. Its the gems and the supports and their interactions, especially with using another class gems for yours. But yeah POE2 is vastly more beginner friendly than POE1

If 3/4 of the tree is trash, then its a problem. Both can be true. The support gems are a bloated mess of "this support increases damage if you freeze an enemy 4 seconds after igniting it"

last 24 hours or so have been pretty funny due to this comment

The community comments and the scum remark are all shit I dont care about. But from the looks of it, its already headed down the path of the marketplace. How long until you find builds in game and can just favorite / like them and not have to scour some shitty website?

The tree is def a problem. J mentioned it in one of his interviews. There is a lot to be done there to make it decent. Im hoping .5 gets some of t done.

The tree overhaul will definitely be a year or two away. They need to save some stuff for post release.

Nahh it will get done before release. It sounded like a urgent problem and one that tons of people were complaining about. Besides they have like 20 leagues of shit in POE1 to pick and choose from to add to POE2 after launch. The only thing he mentioned is going to get left after 1.0 was the remaining classes.

Wonder if the facebreakers work with Martial Artist glove ascendancy. I imagine so, maybe they'll be pretty sick.

The raw damage on them is fine, but the real problem is going to be crit/attack speed and the inability to scale either in any meaningful way.

If they remove or heavily nerf +skill levels on weapons they should be totally viable outside obscene rolled 1k+ dps maces.

I mean, depending how rare they are and how soon you can get it it could be a stopgap for leveling and early maps until you can afford or craft some better shit. Basically not having to worry about weapons or gloves until then. Kinda like the monk fist node which basically gets him to maps without having to worry about weapons. And we all know how bad it feels when you dont have a decent weapon, especially at league start. (which you prob wont score those gloves anyway, lol.)

Yeah it might just be a transitional unique, PoE1 also has a bunch of these and they're kinda nice to buy early in the league to do your early mapping shit, like Bino's(like it used to be now apparently they super buffed it and it's a top tier weapon?), Mortem Morsu, Nebulis, Bitterdream, Rigwald/Terminus Est etc.

In fact pretty sure Facebreaker was also exactly that for most setups, it was good for early/mid mapping shit but then you'd just actually toss it and replace it with a real weapon. Although depending on the period I guess there was a time when Facebreaker was an actual full build too.

Reddit is going apeshit over gemling legionnaire, but I don't see the alt-quality stuff being anything more than a 10% chance here and a 20% chance there of neat tricks but nothing gamebreaking.

Take the fireball example, dude had to cast like 15 times to proc it once, and it just helps clear since it wouldn't shotgun a boss. Maybe they'll drop the ball on one of the 200 fuckin gems they need to go through and something will be OP, but honestly gemling needed the love.
