Import Builds from Build Guides

It may be nice if you can import a build that just highligh the passives and the order in which they should be selected. The player can still pick anything they want but they don’t have to constantly look at the guids. It may help if the lootfilters for that build can be imported with the build.

I will never understand the fun of playing by a “build guide”

I actually disagree with this. Even when using a build guide the game should still demand something from the player side.
Putting in a little bit of effort into allocating points and hopefully also understanding which points do what should be the minimum.

Build guides already take away so much from the players side input/effort.
Further enforcing this will lead to brain dead players.

This already is the case sometimes when people blindly following a build guide without really understanding what and why they are doing certain things.

Build guides should also include the character files so I can just download those and play the exact character per the creator’s vision :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
Also please include any Macros/ autohotkey script the creator is using to autocast certain skills…
Actually you know what EVERY build creator should create an AI to perfectly play the build for me as I can’t be expected to have the same skill level as the build creator especially if the skill has some weird combos like shadow cascade bladedancer or runic invocation.

Would love to have this! I so much want to play the game in the most optimal way, so I can finish it fast and don’t have to play it anymore!

Seems like what you actually “want” is to watch a youtube video or stream of your build :laughing:

Yeah, as you can see from the other replies:

But in all seriousness, I agree with Heavy that the game should not handhold you through a build guide. I understand how helpful build guides can be when used properly. I use them in Grim Dawn because that game’s system just doesn’t click with me when making my own builds for some reason, but I do my best to understand why certain things are taken and how the build works as a concept, and often just find an endgame build and level my way towards it in my own way so I can try to get a feel for what’s being done rather than following a point by point leveling guide.

So yeah, EHG shouldn’t waste their time making it easier for people to be mindless.
