GGG why you again nerf elemental minion builds?

My 3.15 cold skeletons build dead.

By the way, I don't like the change of EO. I think the current EO is stupid and needs to be changed, but the new one seems to further boost crit builds and further beat down non-crit builds. Non-crit selfcast needs some love i think. I don't know if the ailment stuff is enough.

in my opinion playing in party would still be 10 times more rewarding than playing solo.. which is bad.. they share the cost of juice the maps which is alot.. and its also much easier as party and drop rate is increeased so much especially when someone stack rarity/quantity

I think the game has reached a point where it's too complicated for devs to make any meaningful balance change without any collateral damage.

It's just too fking complicated, too many useless skill gems/unique gears/weird mechanics … , and a lot of new skill gems/unique gears/weird mechanics are being added into the already bloated game every league, what's the point if almost nobody uses them or buff something so GGG can nerf it next league, I can't believe it that after so many years GGG now start to make core character mechanic change.

That being said experienced players will always find a way to overcome any nerf, I bet they have much better knowledge about the game than GGG devs after playing the game for so many years. It's time for GGG to do subtraction not addition to the game, otherwise the nerf cycle will never end and the game will come to an dead-end.

that's how software dev works or we can say our universe/nature works, entropy, to be specific.

Nerfs, nerfs, nerfs! 5000 rows change log! WTF!?

GGG, people are exhausted.
Do you know how much time it costs to read this entire change log shit every 3 months?
Constant core changes just when somebody finds something strong to play.
Why?
It seems this is a kind of punishment for being smart and creative.
Aura stacking minion builds will suffer a lot from this shit and people will just copy pasting builds again.

How many players, you think, can handle these changes, understand all new mechanics, and spend weeks of time to try this stuff?

150 - 200!? More?!, Nah...

New players make mistakes when trying to develop own builds and reach to the point it either doesn't deal enough damage or doesn't have enough survive-ability or in most cases both. Changes to these so called "self developed" builds at this point are so punishing and expensive that it forces many of us to just give up.

GGG, you don't have much active players after the first month of every league start, do you?

And they came to the idea of aura stacking by themselves or what? This game is noob-friendly in this regard! You can let creative and experienced people do the work for you and just copy their build. This is an existential part of POE since always.
