Played quite a few other tier 1 builds and quickly realized the non-glass canon version of these builds can't beat Herald of Agony in real world damage.

Yeah, the combination of insane tankyness and actual boss dps is just too much. Historically when they nerfed a skill and it was still used heavily after that they doubled down on the nerfs (see WO).

In the best case scenario this build will be "normalized", in the worst case they could nerf every single aspect of the build individually and destroy it.

So new jewel are so insane. They said on baeclast that they were nerfing the es from our ascendancy and prob they gonna hit hoag dmg too.

But that's cause the new jewel have insane stacks. + 5 to virulence stacks +20 minions dmg it's insane. And the new es/mana jewel are insane too 20%increased mana. Like if you can get a jewel with those 2 implícits it's gonna be real nutty

So I think the nerfs that are about to come were needed cause of the power boost that these new jewels give

Edit: the new aura jewel are insane too like 30% aura effect they gonna nerf the es on our ascendscy cause of that too would be an even bigger power boost for aura bots

That reminds me of people arguing that nerfs to their builds were OK because awakened support gems would make up for that, they didn't.

All the jewels and nodes apply to other builds and some, like impale, are getting INSANE buffs compared to HOAG.
