gz on ruining another build archetype.

How to kill another aspect of endgame and stomp a 10+ mir build into history.

I played this build for 5 leagues now, improving it bit by bit every league.
About 15-20 mirrors of stuff, soon to be obsolete.

Aura effect gone from clusters, clusters unuseable.
i'd need 588% increased reservation efficiency on my gear to run all my 16 auras, which is impossible with 2% on jewels.

this leaves a bad taste in my mouth, you disregard the time i spent on this build in one single patch because reddit crybabies are complaining about party play. again and again you kill things in collateral from multiple angles.

the solution was so simple, lowering aura effect on others and leaving reservation alone as it impacts other builds aswell. now you probably ruined a bunch of builds with those changes, not just aurabots and stacking.

we'll wait and see how it plays out. If 3.16 is not the ultimate bomb league mechanic to make up for this loss, i will quit this game

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Pictures of the rude pms i am getting. I guess you're allowed to be toxic in pms, but you're not allowed to show that to anyone.

Here is an accurate version without the name and shame


The balance team and chris being out of touch with their game isn't the only reason why this game is going downhill.
The community is more toxic than ever, more so than the community of eve online. Alot of people i play with in standard are chill, but this? I can't imagine what goes through your head that you gain joy from sending me those pms, does it make you feel powerful or that you received some kind of twisted justice? Does it statisfy your jealousy?

Saw the pics before it was taken down. People sure are awful in this community. I say this thinking even though I both think the changes to Auras are good and have played a multi mirror aura stacker in previous seasons. It's pretty incredible people are making excuses for the rudeness too.

the only thing I see GGG doing is FINALLY getting people out of their comfort zone and getting people to try new builds. How long has Aurastacker been around? We all agree that it was clearly too strong. Isn't it boring after all this time? Grab your genitals and look forward to new stuff.

They don't get people to try new builds. They basically nerf a de facto only support-oriented archetype without giving us any alternative. I would LOVE to see more options, but there's nothing there. If I wanted to just do damage and shoot things at stuff, I could just do that in singleplayer.
