Been trying out PoE a bit with a friend now that i don't have much school left. This game is hard. Knowing how to build a character is an art. I'm currently level ~30 and doing alright, albeit a tad gear reliant. The game is almost painfully slow solo, especially if you want to play one of the magic classes, but when you get friend(s) to play with it gets exponentially more fun. The game is just really well designed.
Unlike other ARPGs it gives you lots of choice. If you want to build a witch that focuses on physical damage with her wand, you can do that. There are passive skills to support it. You could find gear to support it. I don't know that it's viable in the long run, but you could build around it no problem.
Fro anyone that's been playing, I'm building a curse witch with CI and lightning damage. It's working well so far. I'm getting over my head solo in Act 3 for the first time, but in a group I start to really pull my weight. I've been using Wrath to boost my damage output solo, so I might think about branching out into some mana reserved passives, but fucked if I can remember where they are.
If you like slow, grindy ARPGs then this game is awesome. If you got bored in TL2 this game is not for you.
