I did this thing and looked at poe2 reddit and there the community is melting down.

I so far only had time to play up to level 13, but like it so far because my actions and decisions actually matter in most cases when I fight.

I died often, but (almost) each time I knew what I need to change or get so I cannot yet relate at all to all the tantrums over there.

I belong to those who don't like the late endgame of poe1 or even 2 very much because its too much visually unclear bullet-hell stuff going on, so im personally much in favor of slower less ridiculous and slightly more human-skill based gameplay.

What's the sentiment of the few of us here on lemmy poe2?

I'm enjoying myself, my only complaint is that the early game is still rough. If you get unlucky with gear life gets much harder.

Also, some skills seem like they're not functioning properly. I tried detonating thunder lances with the spear leap and stacking 3 of them with barrage did like 1/2 the hp of a white mob even though it's supposed to be 3x 235% attack damage + the damage of the leap itself.

Right now on my coop character I'm running primal strikes as my main damage output, using voltaic mark and lightning Spear to proc shock. My solo character is a thorns build with shield charge and resonating shield. Both characters are doing perfectly fine. My friend running cold tornados is definitely stronger in the coop run though and the other friend running artillery ballista is also doing well.
