    "selftext": "Hello! \nI would really like to get into path of exile, it has all things I want from arpg but one. And it is possibility to try different skills and builds within one character.\n\n I don't have much time to play games and starting a new characters is not an option for me. It feels like you are being punished for experimenting in this game. \n\nFor a new player there is only one way to play without ruining a character. To follow a guide. Starting over million times to get better might be interesting for someone with plenty of free time. And for me following a guide is killing all the fun. \n\nWhat do you think about character building and respec options in poe 2? Will it be different or not?",

PoE 2 might be a completely different type of game for all we know, but if it isn't and they do dumb it down for casual players they will lose the vast majority of their hardcore player base rn.",

          "body": "Lately, the complexity is starting to turn me away from the game. Used to like it, but the more it gains complexity or the more they change shit to complete 180°, the more i start disliking it and quitting earlier with each following league. :( also i would give my right kidney and left nut for full respec button when you click enough regrets/atlas regrets"

      "body": "Since you don't have much time to play, I recommend you play in standard. You keep all your characters, get a full passive respec every 3 months, and the sense of progression doesn't reset to 0 every league.\n\nTo answer your question and give some hibedt feedback, I gonna go ahead and say no. You won't get unlimited access to gear, skill gems, and unlimited respect to try everything you want with 0 time investment. Even if they did give you all of that, you still can't do everything in one character because you can't have a ranger ascendencies in a maurader, Templar, witch, etc.\n\nYour requests are honestly unreasonable to expect. \n\nYou dont have to follow a build guide. The 2nd and 3rd characters I ever made were decently effective with no guides. It is, however, also unreasonable to expect that you should be able to immediately create a very strong, top of the line, endgame build that can do everything with 0 knowledge and minimal time investment. If you want to start a game you can immediately be good at it, you may want to try tic tac toe, call of duty, and checkers. Though checkers may be pushing it."

I have made more builds that I can count, some good, other mehh.. but everything in POE is somewhat viable, if you put enough time, dedication don’t every builds to 1tap ubers"
