95% of builds on Path of Exile scale with special uniques or powerful rares
The reason it is still fun after 20+ hours of play is because of the skill and gear progression that comes with most builds in the game. 95% of builds on PoE scale with special uniques or powerful rares as well as getting gear that has more linked sockets (5 socketed and linked sockets on gear are a lot more rare than 4 linked gear, and 6 linked gear extremely rare and endgame to acheive in most cases). Both of these will change will change how the skill works/increase their damage output significantly, making you want to progress even more to see how far you can take a build idea.
So the long and short of it is yes in it's most basic form the fun of playing the same skill over a long period is to see the returns of your investment into the skill and seeing how far you can take it, which is much more rewarding than it sounds due to the sheer complexity and number of options the game has to offer.

The current chests in Path of Exile
I never looked to weapons at that time, so I can't say if it happened. Though if anything it should be easier now anyway thanks to mastercrafting.

I'm playing all time on Hardcore
Since I've made some kind of the same build I have some questions. Occasionally I wanted to test out abyssus and lightning coil and sixlinked it before I had a chance to try out some other chests.
