I could never get into POE. I hate the skill gem system, it's just so annoying.
Why annoying? There are tons of resources to load up a build if that's what breaks the deal for you.
The whole system is just so convoluted. If you have a build you like upgrading gear is just a chore. You need the right amount of sockets and the right type of sockets to fit the skill gems you're using. Like just give me a skill tree with skills in it instead of tying the skills to gems. On top of that the talent tree is just a huge mess of utterly boring passives.
The tree has absolutely more than just boring passives. Just look at the keystones.
The gem system (aside from the sockets, but that will change with poe 2) might be weird at first, but it gives you skill versatility in a way no other game has. I find skill trees like they are in other games to be kinda eh in comparison now.
That's a valid stance to have, I'm just curious: what do you find annoying about it?
