CMV: PoE blows Diablo IV out of the water
so ive been playing d4 for a while now and though I like it in general, its only a poor excuse of what PoE offers.
d4 only offers a few cookie cutter builds, feels even more streamlined and dumbed down than d3 did and i dont see myself replaying it alot since its open world, from what ive seen so far, is biring and bland.

Why annoying? There are tons of resources to load up a build if that's what breaks the deal for you.
The whole system is just so convoluted. If you have a build you like upgrading gear is just a chore. You need the right amount of sockets and the right type of sockets to fit the skill gems you're using. Like just give me a skill tree with skills in it instead of tying the skills to gems. On top of that the talent tree is just a huge mess of utterly boring passives.
The tree has absolutely more than just boring passives. Just look at the keystones.
The gem system (aside from the sockets, but that will change with poe 2) might be weird at first, but it gives you skill versatility in a way no other game has. I find skill trees like they are in other games to be kinda eh in comparison now.
Mhh yeah i suppose thats where either you're hooked into making your gear work until you can upgrade it, or you farm orbs to pay with on the player trading.
I agree that the skill tree is insane to navigate as a new player
