D2 necro was like this. You could finish the game without any gear at all.
Depend on the player.
For someone like BEN, he can go naked in LE or POE and still kill Uber bosses on Gauntlet difficulty.
but truly depends on your play style, POE and LE you can achieve immortality and deal tons of damage, as you are a POE player i will use POE currency
on POE you need like a minimum of a Mirror gear to be kinda immortal (tanking uber skills and fully delirium maps)
while on LE you need like half a mirror (or even less) to be a god.
I never said you said it was useless, you said it was
and
Devouring Orbâs 1 source of flat damage from the tree is the Cosmic Impact node, everything else is %.
You still need flat damage for those % damage modifiers to do anything.
Iâd also like to see someone do that with a melee character 'cause your skills generally get 2 base damage & flat damage more from gear than passives or skill nodes (YMMV).
The âusuallyâ is important there. Some do, some donât.

This has been a problem since the game first was playable and the devs put it at low prio below a MTX shop and seeing others in town(to show off MTXs).
I wouldnât expect a fix just like I wonât expect any of the hundreds of bugs being fixed.
The devs are aware of a lot of things but put all of these things at very low priority because they do not generate revenue.
Revenue is their #1 priority.
You wonât expect bugs being fixed? you canât be serious can you? Have you seen the list of bugfixes in 1.0? or just trolling here?

I feel like this is subjective based on the build in question. This game, like Path of Exile, has the issue where some gear is much more crucial for some builds than others. An example is a weapon is incredibly important for attack builds in PoE where for spells they are fantastic boosts in damage but not at all necessary to let the build function. LE has this same phenomenon, where the base damage on weapons is necessary for attack skills, but spells generally have a decent bit of flat damage built into the skill and as such donât strictly require a weapon to work.
Itâs really just build to build, case by case, but generally speaking, and especially in end game for both PoE and LE, you need gear. If youâve not gotten deep into corrupted monos, you donât quite grasp how important gear is.
For story i am inclined to say no. I beat lagon with just fodder gear i found and did not refine anything. Its EA i assume its easier for testing purposes
You can probably do the story line with any old gear, they start you out pretty easy. But even that is more fun if you gear up so you can be OP while youâre doing it.
The high corruption monoliths are a different story. That gets pretty hard. You will need good gear to survive it.
Shyio is a bitter, cynical old man who knows everything about EHG. He knows that EHG only cares about the money and they laugh in the face of the players. They say they have fixed a lot of bugs, but have they really? All theyâve done is point players towards their MTX.
Because everything EHG has done so far in all these years, their transparency with players, their openness to change and feedback, their adamant refulsal in implementing P2W, all that was just a subterfuge which Shyio cleverly uncovered.

They just ripped you off so fast that you misjudged the resulting frictional heat as a cosy embrace.
A joke, of course. EHG delivers an acceptable product considering price, scale, and continued development.
