In reality though who cares about "balance"? Its a fucking power fantasy RPG mostly solo game. And best of all if something is truly OP and breaking the game, they can just nerf it next league. I mean, just look at last league and how people were breaking the league mechanic and basically fucking the whole economy. But again, who gives a shit? Its only one league and there will be a wipe. Worst thing they tried doing is nerfing this mid league and had to revert it all when they got community flack.


But I do agree with you about the ascendancies though. Some of the older shit is kinda weak now compared to the new shit they are adding.

Honestly I'm kinda glad they're apparently giving the middle finger to balance. The quest to balance shit in RPGs has always been gay.

I think it's more that they are worried about the game lacking "stuff" and would rather have sufficient stuff and then worry about balancing later, which I think is the smart approach. The only brutal part for them is that they will inevitably have to do a giant nerf patch.

Haven’t loaded this up since December and even then only played it for a few minutes. Ready to give this another go around with the new season dropping. Could give a fuck about what’s META this go around. Anyone got any recommendations to what’s easy and fun to just casually log in and blast mindlessly with?

If you don't care about what's meta, then just pick whichever class fantasy you like, whether that's minions, bows, grenades, or big stick bonk and go from there. You'll easily be able to finish campaign and early maps with any skill if you just use synergistic supports instead of picking them randomly, and spending 1 exalt on a market weapon whenever you feel like you're starting to do zdps.

If you get to mid maps and feel like you need something more meta, you can look around to see what's good that you can respec into from the class you already picked.

My big concern with meta is avoidance. How can I not be an additional person trying to buy lightning bows

Think of it as tiers...there is the S tier meta builds, which you definitely want to avoid, but then you still have the A and B tier which are still very good. Or just avoid all this shit and go SSF but on a much slower pace and learn to craft your own shit..

I think bows will always be part of the meta, because they scale so well into the end game. They are easy to use and basically clear screens. And they hardly got touched in 0.5.

It becomes a double edged sword though. Because on one hand all the meta shit will have the crafters scrambling to make shit for those builds, so you will have more to choose from. Maybe the very high end shit will be super expensive, but you can also sore some of their failures, maybe 5 our of 6 or 4 out of 6 for cheap.
