Game Balance in Siege of the Atlas

PauseChamp waiting for more ignite info PauseChamp

Lightning + OOS changes seem interesting, and IIRC blade trap/fire trap/ice trap were already quite strong.. Seem real strong now!

lets hope it turns out decent and not nerf builds as badly

Seems like Wave of Conviction was forgotten?

Please Devs, do you even know what you're doing?
Toxic rain single target damage already nerfted to the ground like 40% after Heist league due too overlaps nerf

And now you decide to nerf ít another times

At this point i don't really know what to say anymore except tremendous amount of disappointment on balance teams

ok so it had a 40% nerf and still strongest bow skill for lowest price by far and u dont see this is a problem?

Yes I see a problem, that other bow skills need to be buffed, and they are already doing it.

Does the removal of winter burial mean that glacial hammer is losing all of its splash damage? if so this is a huge nerf for an already underwhelming skill. I'm hoping it was just missed from the manifesto and will be in the patch notes

Freezing Pulse - here I come (again) ;)

Noice!

So far so good IMO. GGG is being consistent in their goal of lowering what they consider to be "free" damage via gems and buffing the item tiers. I completely understand that GGG wants to extend out the finished build time for the players and this is a logical way of achieving that goal.

Additionally they have been relatively consistent that they want more difficult to play builds to be at least equal to mines/traps/coc etc. and I also think that is reasonable.

Voidfletcher is an UBERELDER drop

VOIDFLETCHER is an UBERElder drop

Don't nerf uniques based on Poeninja, thats so lazy work

DO NOT FORGET ABOUT WHISPERING ICE! You just hit it with a 30% less damage multiplier for cwchanneling, and as it is not a skill gem it got no buffs to counteract this! This is a crippling hit to the build!

Aside from that, I'm overall very happy with the direction of these notes, nerfing what needed to be nerfed, and finally evening the gap between trigger and self casting. Well done!

(Also please consider doing something for physical attack bleed bow, assailum etc, it is in such a sad state)
