Hello folks,
I recorded another Path of Exile video that is essentially just one long rant. I am interested in game balance and I've found myself struggling to retain my interest in POE due to the weakness of Slam builds (my favorites). Thus as a result I discuss game design and game balance as it relates to melee builds in POE.

As an off meta player I enjoy the slams playstyle even when slams are not particularly strong. However I can't help but feel jaded by the lack of awareness of the real problems facing the archetype. Hopefully this reaches an audience that is interested in discussing balance solutions for what feels like the weakest build type in the game.

For context, I am really trying to target the early-to-mid league progression for the average player. I am not specifically interested in the ultra late game builds that are likely to be posted on YT

Thanks team. Have a good week,
Jesse
