    Path of Exile for me. I went in blind towards the end of Synthesis league (Q2 2019) and played completely SSF with a homebrew zoo witch. Managed to eventually fight and kill shaper but it was so draining I didn’t even want to look at the game again… Til the end of the year when I hopped into the end of Blight league and I’ve sunk almost 2k hours since

      Aye, that first experience when a friend convinced me that part of the game was trading for better items blew my mind. My only previous experience with that sort of game was diablo, where you could definitely get through the whole game with just found items.

      I miss the old way they had though, where it was worth having a single target attack and an aoe attack on swapped weapons, and dominus, try 3, was a hard fight.

        Nothing’s stopping you from weapon swapping! I did exactly that on a homebrew bow build beginning of this league. Was kind of a bitch to craft essentially 2 of the same bow, but it worked well enough to take down uber bosses

        I never got to experience Dominus being the big bad, but I’ve heard they were good time indeed
