Path of Exile 3.16 Balance - Part 3 - Auras, Curses and Elemental Damage Over Time

Not a fan. EE change alone is 40% less damage for the minion builds I like to play. I dont stack auraeffct for my minions even if i like the aura effect on them, now there is no way to do so. Very few stats to invest into atm.

"Sentinels of Purity summoned with Herald of Purity now have 40% less Life. Because of base Ignite damage changes, Ignite with the skill is now 50.0% higher when using the Death Wish skill from the Maw of Mischief Unique Helmet."

This change seem really backwards... Seem really strange to reduce their hp, instead of the damage they are suppost to do when they explode.

Finally.

Now Necromancers abusing aura stacking will realise how weak necros become and riot! Voicing their needs at last. Yep, we need buffs to minions, at least reroll spectre level in gem. Back to good old necro play :)

Nice! Looking forward to that!

its end of poe.
no effect=end of party grind.
worst failure could be done imo.

Hey ggg I don't mind the nerfs but please refund me for 2mirrors worth of gear and over $500 on aura cosmetics not to mention all the other builds that are unplayable. You guys are literally stealing money. Sell something under a pretence then change it yeah I'm going to the nz disputes tribunal

It's ok dude, we're going to spread that GGG is stealing money through Path of Exile via illegal gambling system and laundering microtransactions.

Don't ask for a refund. Just let people know the truth.

I have seen good and bad decisions as well from this company, so far I was satisfied with both their nerf and buff decisions every league since 3.0.

However, this update is something else man. I have no words. Don't just uninstall, tell your friends to uninstall too.

This has to be a copypasta

Stop, pls dont nerf party gayplay. It is so deep.

Problem:
Characters specialised in maximising the power of auras provide an absolutely insane amount of damage and defence to party members, making a party with an aura-specialised character so much more effective than one without.

I'm sorry but... WHAT? How is that a problem? Making a party with an aura-specialised character so much more effective IS THE CORE IDEA OF PLAYING SUPPORT-ORIENTED BUILDS.

I was hoping for some changes that would make support builds more reactive, but what we got is basically butchering the core idea of supporting. You are basically saying that people playing support-oriented builds are the problem.

You should probably just nerf all defense mechanics from the game. Why? Because defense-specialised characters are so much more effective at not dying than others.

While you're on it, nerf all damage in the game. It's just so stupid that damage-specialised characters are so much more effective at dealing damage.

Actually, just delete party system. Why bother if singleplayer is clearly your top priority.

So the stackers are fine and alive. Yet another support+carry league with demolished economy, yaaay...

i read all comments , i just cant stop laughing

I understand the need to nerf group play or group abuse , its really hurting the economy, specially those famous groups who every league abuse the max out of the game.

what i dnt understand is why complicating things , you could have made very simple changes to kill such forces without hurting solo play.

still nice one , although it will hurt the player base but they will understand eventually that its for their own good long term , after 5 or 6 years when they have kids and all ...............

Loving the changes, to be honest F aurastackers and aurabots, and the DoTs changes seems really good
