So lemme get this straight... you're saying it's okay that you one-shot, since pretty much EVERYONE is able to one-shot..?

With 1.3.0, damage scaling has changed. It has been split into two algorithms -- one for physical damage and chaos damage, and one for elemental. In low-level play, damage is reduced by about 20% for physical skills, but is increased for elemental damage to compensate for assumed resistances. In high-level play, the damage reduction is much sharper.

In both tiers, the ability to one-shot your opponent is now very difficult. This, in combination with changes to the Acrobatics keystone and block values on items and the tree, means that total damage mitigation is a helpful, if unpredictable, bonus, rather than a game-winning factor. Game lengths have increased to be more satisfying and to give opportunities for moment-to-moment tactical decisions rather than crossing your fingers and hoping your opponent doesn't land a lucky crit.

Not even 1 bit of shame(ok maybe a little after the first few very satisfying days). One of my guildies kept telling me to make spark good and after a few trials and errors it was doing alright. Originally it was for PvE, but after losing to all the fucking EA players on my reflect guy, I went all out with proj speed and duration and maxed pierce on sparker. Solved the problem. Made em rage real good. I quit spark once I saw it was clearly taking a toll on the general fun people were having in the Arena(I probably should've retired the char earlier too), but I'm still glad I got to shit on those damn EA players (and other obnoxious bow builds).

Best way to deal with offscreeners was to offscreen from farther away. But now we can't do that (except with traps!).

Playing Overwatch mostly those days and I wish this kind of skill would exist in PoE sometimes.
