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

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.

Solution:
Remove sources of Aura Effect from Cluster Jewels and move the Aura Cluster Jewels type to Small Cluster Jewels, so it is no longer possible to continuously stack Aura Effect for your party. Introduce a new Cluster Jewel Notable to increase the "Effect of your Auras on You" for builds that are building Auras for their own power.

For me this section is not correct, the problem you stated is "power provider to party members", not power to you. All this cluster rework makes little sense, it would be more logic to reduce the aura effect radius or make increments affecting only you or again differentiate between minions and players.
It target the problem only, dont confuse people and still allow for regular aurastaker to exists.

even as a summoner, i can say:

GOOD

Aurastacking and cursebots have been a glaring balance issue and i'm glad they're finally taking a whack at them.

You need to make more alternative ways to play not cut off build that existing for years.

Oh no, you must play a real build now instead of abusing aurabots? How sad.

A lot of people ree'ing out over aurabot nerfs as if they aren't playable, multiplayer is dead now, and they're going to stop playing poe forever - again.

1) You can still play with your friends, they haven't been val'd.
2) You can still play aurabots with your friends, and even if they're 1/10th as strong as before, those group spending mirrors will still crunch everything.
3) See you at launch!

You tried to fix your bad balance in 3.15 but actually you ruined your game again
