You say it cuz you play POE for a long time aren’t ya? Try to remember your 1st fight with a Warden and how much time it took to get there. And I bet you thought it should be an act boss and then you have to go to the climbs and fight with Marveil.
I bet now you can do it all in less than an hour cuz you know who to fight and where you should just run straight to the Ledge and what skills you need to take to trivialize content. Which quests to do and which to pass for doing later.
When did you learned about double dipping in POE? On a 1st day of your play?
Most of experienced players can do Act 1 in GD under 1 hour as well. Why do you expect to do the same with a game you don’t know anything about?
There is always people who prefer to find out wtf on their own and those ‘copycats’ who can only find builds made by others and whine if it doesn’t work. My 1st build (i don’t count those hardcore died under 20 lvl) was pierce damage trickster who died on every big bossfight 2-3 times (at least untill I learned Wendigo Totem). This is how learning goes. This and reading different stuff about mechanics of the game.
I have over 2k hours played in both games, each has its pros and cons.
Of course PoE has more builds as it has more skills to choose, but many use similar passive trees. Also PoE has had way more power creep added to their game over the years (its been fully released since Oct. 2013 vs Grim Dawns Feb 2016). Not to mention it is super easy until you start getting into double digit #tiers of mapping.
One of my GD Builds that doesn’t take 5 to 10 minutes to kill Bosses
I believe that that kind of phenomenon is more about a new youtube generation that has been more or less self-conditioned into a paradigm of reality that only things that have been published and discussed by popularly established people can exist.
If nobody has ever discussed that build on the place I go where everybody discuss all the possible builds, then that build does not exist. And if a build has been advertised by a well established social figure, then it has to work, just because it has received the official approval. If it doesn’t, I want my money back.
I don’t get why would you max blitz and veil of shadows in the first place, especially over cadence and didnt even put anything into night’s chill. You are basically asking why your build sucks against sole bosses and is good against masses when you max blade arc over cadence, deadly momentum is one of the best traits in the game imo. And I think one of the strongest allrounder since the start til the end is bwc sorc or occultist is never really a bad pick in early as first and brench out of it into some kind of DoT build.
