I salute you for this. You can extremely limit your i.e. devotion/components/augments/skill choices by following optimized builds. You then shorten the whole journey/narrow your vision and deprive yourself of decision making process, experimenting, finding your own also very well performing setups and may never be satisfied after seeing that one cookie cutter configuration. Especially that Grim Dawn apart from squeezing every last second out of Crucible or every level out SR doesn’t require it.
