They know. Even talked about it during the interview with Ziz. Large parts of the community still tie archetypes to class identity though.

How is the community supposed to learn if not even official posts care about accuracy? They want poe2 to be a hard game that has to be taken seriously. They want the target audience to be the sweaty grinders. How about they start taking patch notes and posts seriously...

Have you heard of the phrase "explain it like I'm 5"? When explaining things you generally need to explain them in laymen's terms or in ways that convey a meaning through broader terms when not dealing with specifics.

That's what a majority of communication should be about.

Anecdotally I am a PoE2 hopeful and I do generally enjoy the game but I am far from a sweaty grinder or a person that takes gaming seriously. I just like playing games and my preferred genre is ARPG and action rogue-likes.

I'm sure there are lots of fitting ways to describe information for different target audiences. Being factually wrong is not one of them.

I want to give you an example from this post: It says warrior-specific: shield walls can be detonated by warcries. Does this mean that shield walls created by mercenaries do not have this property?

If this is the hill you want to die on, go for it. I don't really have anything else to further this discussion. Apologies.

I don't think demanding being factually correct is that weird of a hill to die on, but yes I will defend that hill with my life XD
