Let us Respec in what the Character is proeficent at

Nah, I am not taking any credit here, I play (or at least start with and tweak a wee bit) the best builds I see on youtube, that I know can hit high endgame and are usually from players I know are good. If you play Magic, you’d call me a net-decker. Most of the time anyways.

Yeah, that’s a completely different experience from people which do their own builds and don’t go towards the meta though.

LE offers a big variance on builds, and depending on the main focus of your character it can have… very odd outcomes at times in power disparity. The classes are not very well balanced yet and especially ‘actual’ melee builds which have a somewhat melee range are struggling to get beyond 200 corruption, 300 being a point which needs great gear already.
Wraithlord for example breezes past 1k while falling asleep.

I have both situations in my builds

I gave up experimenting with my own builds while levelling in this game years ago as I find the loss of points when you respec very distasteful.

That’s funny… exactly the opposite for me… Also a net-decker in MTGA, and only play copied builds in PoE. LE must be the first game that ever made me actually enjoying crafting my own builds while learning from my mistakes. I never get frustrated when something doesn’t work quite as I expected like it happens all the time in PoE… I just respec and try some new paths. So easy and smooth.
