I imagine POHX is probably done with POE for good now since RF is completely gutted in this patch........It's such a shame as it was never an OP skill to begin with, just great for those players who have hand/arthritis issues etc....

But obviously GGG could care less about that..........Oh well, it will be interesting to see what game POHX moves to.


RF was OP, long time ago.(like close to every other skill) ;)



I wasn't fond of RF but im sad that it's nerfed because it was really fun milking all the noob RF players that were not capable of applying essences to craft their stupid opal rings or they didnt even know about the +1 fire skill gem craft for scepters :D:D:D:D maybe they will have to use their brain from now on. It was a good decision by ggg because all the RF players were starting to lose their brain placticity, becoming incapable of solving new and different problems lol.

Sanctrume currency nerf where?


Sanctum has the most idiotic mechanic ever done in the videogame history.
It was a mistake even think about it, now it is core is even worse.

I think these are the worst patch notes I have ever seen (been playing extensively since Breach league), and I've been dissatisfied in the past. There's no meta shakeup, do you know how long we have waited ? And no the gems don't fulfill that role sorry, stop coping.

1. League mechanic seems to be a mix between the delve cart and ghosting, meh looks extremely, extremely unfun. I need to follow some wisps in the darkness in order to ''buff'' some mobs in the map so that they drop more loot, are you kidding me.
2. The meta is NOT getting reshaped, people need to stop getting baited. The transfigured gems will equal to some of the helm lab enchant from old and/or alternate skill gems. In fact we lost boot, glove, helm enchant, and all alternate quality gems.
3. No nerfs to Deadeye, Pathfinder, Tornado Shot, Lightning Arrow, etc. Assassin and Gladiator still trash.
4. Ambush on the map device, Enraged strongbox still in the game, Crimson Temple still on the atlas... Another MF Deadeye strongbox meta.
5. Ultimatum, hahahaha. Did people asking for Ultimatum's return really run that mechanic more than 50 times ? Or even 200-300x ? Because it becomes boring and tedious real fast, and often you don't even get any good loot besides a stack of 5c... Overrated, rose-tinted glasses, mediocre mechanic at best.

I was so hyped for this league, like many other content creators and players, hoping for a real meta shake-up (true buffs and nerfs to outlier skills and ascendancies) as well as a fun league mechanic; but all hype is now gone. The direction taken by GGG regarding balance and meta shakeup is despicable, it's been the almost exact same for the past 2 years; same league starters, same endgame builds, same everything.
People need to stop spreading their ass cheeks for GGG to do what they want without saying anything.

I made the mistake of purchasing an MTX this month in anticipation, but I swear this will be the last time I ever buy something from your shop.

How hard can it be to significantly nerf/buff outliers skills and ascendancies twice per year, the exact way you used to do it in the past?!?!
Congratulations, you have officially become COMPLETELY out of touch with the game.


I have been scrolling through this topic mostly for fun, since it's exactly same story in every single patch notes before league start.

People making up stuff without having any idea what they are talking about.
It's like common sense and critical, logical thinking is completely out the window. Thinking outside of the box?! Preposterous! Who would do such a thing?!

Reading your post was probably the only time during my reading session that I really feel like I lost some brain cells.

100+ new skills that probably lead to tens of thousands of new builds is not a meta shakeup?! Then I really don't know what is, honestly. 3 new ascendancies that probably lead to infinite amount of possibilities also nah?

I just feel like some of you people will never be pleased no matter what GGG does.

On the bright side though, the less of people like you play the game, the most healthy the community in general, so that's a big win.

P.S.

I want my brain cells back!

I wonder if you watched the stream. A nerfed base game can only mean that there is a alternate quality gem that will make your league the best you ever had.



It is quite possible that an alternate version will be instant indeed. So all isn't lost yet.

But then why not keep the original and make an alternate with no cooldown ?

In any case we're gonna get dozens of new skills to try which is awesome.
So... Basically every gems were nerfed, we lost enchants, alternate qualities...
Those transfigured gems better be interesting 'cause it seems it'll all suck hard :/

If the achievements rewards aren't pure trash as the last leagues...

Hey, I don't care about metamorph, but can we keep Tane as an actual NPC vendor please?

If he doesn't tell me to have a good day, how can I have a good day?
If he doesn't send peace to me, how can I have peace?
If he doesn't wish that the darkness may spare me, how can I be spared from the darkness?

Even if Lilly doesn't spam time and tide anymore she spams godslayer this and godslayer that. Annoying. It's a dark world out there in the atlas and we need a bro like Tane to bring a little joy to our hideout.


This is probably the only valid feedback post in this entire thread (so far).

I totally concur! He should stay.

anima stone is nerfed? and why is that? why the hell are you nerfing already underperforming archetypes and builds?

you could at least buff the golem passives on elementalist.


Golems were nerfed like 10 times but we could still see the top of the top of their head. Now they're finally underground, can't see them no more. :)

On a more serious note I planned to start Carrion Golems, but very low budget, no Anima Stone for me. Maybe there's a gem, with the new quality stuff, that gives +1 golem, and that's why they nerfed Anima Stone. Who knows, let's see.

Clueless :) You guys have no clue haha RF dealt dmg because of lvl 27 gem that you forced which is 7167.2 base dmg. So even with 15k hp or shields you lost like 80% dmg now hahaha

7167.2 / 0.7 = 10,238.9 of Life or ES. Not 15k.

Rip Carrion Golem


Why? You lose 20% increased damage which in my league start PoB equals to losing 150k DPS (from 4.25m to 4.1m). Not a big deal. It's like having a gem with 0% quality in the current league. Plus it'll make it easier to get a lvl 21 gem because the quality doesn't matter so much anymore. For me it's an indirect buff, because a lvl 21 gem deals more damage than a lvl 20/20 gem, and is easier to make. :)

Anima Stone? I didn't plan to use it, because it's a starter, I won't invest that much currency.
