Delirium and Breach without herald builds (Lightning spear etc)

These mechanics are borderline unplayable without using a one button screen-kill build.

I recently deleted all my characters and started SSF to try out the new patch with no currency or items. I did not follow a build guide and wanted to try out a mercenary bleed build from scratch.

Mapping is slow, I go from pack to pack, playing the way I've interpreted GGG wants the game to be played. I'm only on Tier 1, taking it slow and steady. A little too slow for my taste, but at least it's engaging and in my opinion more fun than just zooming around one shotting every screen.

Then I find a Breach. It opens, I roll around trying to kill the enemies, and before I even kill the first pack the breach closes. No rewards, certainly no splinters.

Delirium is kind of the same. I get to kill a few packs before it ends.

We're meming on the vision, but I actually had fun through the campaign, but I don't think these league mechanics translates well into PoE2 if the vision is more methodical combat.

Maybe they just need more balancing to be a bit more forgiving in early maps. But then again, I might be playing a "bad build". It's really hard to tell, and I'm tempted once again to start a new "meta" character that flies through content with one button.

Lightning Spear is not a Herald and the complaints about it are wrong. It’s clear ability isn’t the skill Lightning Spear but the support Volt (which if GGG don’t mess up the nerf required will be the only thing that needs to be changed).
Heralds are actually about right, if Volt was nerfed the Herald of Thunder wouldn’t be as good as it is either.

Generally the skills people are complaining are too powerful aren’t, in the case of Lightning Spear it is awful for single target (bosses) and another skill is used. A Volt nerf (say either 2 charges or imo too severe 1 charges per metre traveled) would solve the clear speed and range instantly without touching Herald of Thunder or Lightning Spear or the Ascendancy.
