mrsrefrigerator: I CANT WAIT TO PLAY HERALD OF LIGHTNING AGAIN

Keindorfer: i really thought we are talking about the visuals ingame with a lighting problem ...

EtTuBrutalizer: I love how they tried to do some many things different in poe 2 for no fucking reason like damage conversion. Just to be different and now they have to unfuck everything and learn the same lessons over again lmfao.

JoeTheis: 100% constructive criticism and useful feedback. Didn't seem negative much at all really. Always loved your Mjolnir builds btw, glad to see you contributing to making poe2 a better game.

Andre-xt8br: I am calling it now, meta druid lighting bear.

They should change the name of the game Path of Lightning and call it a day.

joe1trillion651: Why is lightning damage the unpredictable one while chaos damage is predictable?

scottish-united-fan: What you learn about path of exile in general is that all the top players are good at maths.

PoseidonPTH: They are scared to make cold damage good because they made it able to freeze bosses so I doubt they will ever buff it and fire damage so far has been kind of a joke for ignites...

TheLouisGreen: Damn I thought this was mainly about shock being just better than other ailments but there is so much more

Vyend: As someone new to poe i noticed the favoritism to lightning since the launch of EA so i'm glad that i'm not crazy for thinking that

Also a huge favoritism to ranged characters, the best "melee" builds rely heavily on ranged attacks

radicalindividual7774: There was this one time there wasn't Lightning favoritism. I think it was this skill called Flameblast.

Oh, boy. That was it's own problem. And GGG nerfed I think literally 7 mechanics around it, because it was too OP before finally redesigning how it works in like 2019. They nerfed ignite, prolif, fire damage on tree, multi-effects on tree like fire ignite nodes, they changed the mana costs, man... Man what a problem that was way back when. With these changes theu fucked melee into Reave-Only for over a year until Heralds came out to fix the prolif being the only Melee clear... Man... Big GGG OOF.

princecuddle: Fire doesnt have to be just ignite damage could be much more than that.

Cold also doesnt have to be just chill/freeze.

GGG could improve upon the available creative of this being a new game. They have the opportunity to fix the short comings with this game and so far they've been following old design cues.

humanbugman: Ice also sucks because HoI doesnt trigger on Deli monsters so its basically dead if you wanna do deli, which is basically the best way to top-end farm.

CatChat240p: This is one of the few videos I hope GGG both sees and takes notes off of.

SlayerMuff: Just recently started watching yr vids, you have alot of knowledge about the game its really cool to still learn so much from this game even after playing like 3k hours

drakepancake2903: Who wouldve thought a damage type that has an inherent ailment gives free 15% more dps to that skill makes it better than the rest

LethalPastry: I remember in 0.1, I plucked up the courage to theorycraft my own build for the first time ever. I ended up creating a cast on freeze, which was objectively worse than the one that became "meta" and was immediately nerfed. At that point, my entire build was bricked, and I couldn't respec. That aside, a week later when everyone was playing mana-stacker spark and full clearing their screen, I just asked myself, "What was the point?" How is one insta-clear ability okay while another is not? The cold versus lightning was just the icing on the cake. The release version of cast on freeze could have easily stayed, and it wouldn't even be in the top 5 strongest builds (that never get touched).

bawzzzz: This is so true. I can’t believe the bottom left tree and fire still sucks so bad.

Ignite is also fundamentally flawed mechanically. It should be completely revisited.

Stun being only for phys and melee is also so obvious.

Timinax: I don't remember if poe had as big of a lightning problem before, ofc shock has always been op but when we got lucky hits, everything is now just lightning, then they added volatility and other ways to increase max damage.

Wuuz: lightning arrow druid poggerschampions, cant wait!

MrBuns-yi2hk: I don't think lightning damage is the problem. Most lightning skills just outclass the other elemental types. I would much rather have cold damage than lightning damage in the current meta.

Fire damage is the only type I can say is genuinely bad.

beingbeyonddat: I'm shocked with this info.

droid5785: Told my friend I wouldn't judge skills off the patch notes like galvanic shards going to 1 bolt instead of 4... Then I realized it's a lightning skill so unlike frag rounds and permafrost it still feels good. Lightning op but I've still had fun on other builds... Just harder

viktorstorelv: Even on my explosive shot mercenary, I had to use gloves that change fire to lightning damage to make it pop. And.. I don't want lightning. I want fire!!!
