Ofc someone might say that this is laughable and that the real game is on 8 players and hunting the ubers etc etc. I just spend a couple days reading the guides, asked a couple questions here, and I am rocking in hell right now with little to no effort. However this is already covered by the hundreds of guides out there. The only skill this game has is figuring out an effective build and implementing it. Id say repeating the same thing add nauseum 5 gazillion times is not skill, as has been said its patience.

How is this in D4, poe? is there some clear didference in how much skill/practise is required? I only played poe for like 30h and it appeared to be less demanding compared to d2 up to this point to a degree that I stopped playing it. In general but also for act bosses, speedrunners seem to have not only some additional knowledge but also appear to be more skilled in playing the game and fighting act bosses. When playing against bosses in d2, i would still say that encounters with the act bosses can be very different for different players. Throwing poison spears and kiting enemies into the poison requires some practise to be more successful more often. Eg craftig requires no skill but only knowledge. Like you need to do it often to be able to do it well. It appears to me that skill requires that this knowledge is exploited in a way that is not possible for most players. To me, knowledge of game/boss mechanics is not enough for skillfull playing. Please give your definitions and examples. I wonder what skill means to you in these games.
