Feedback and Suggestions - Hatred nerf for spell users.. Why do you hate us so much? -33% dmg - Forum

" Esubane wrote: Hatred was way too strong, now it's going to be more in line with Wrath and Anger - the other elemental damage auras. It also had insanely strong watchers eye modifiers. 2% base crit chance is very hard to get from other sources. Even bottled faith does not provide base crit anymore, it used to cap at 2% too. Since almost every endgame build uses watcher's eye they had to take this into consideration. It has the strongest watchers mods so the aura itself is going to be a little weaker. Oh, and no more smurfing with eldrith battery and divine blessing. They should have just made it two different auras. Agree that hatred is too strong, disagree that they should have just removed its usefulness to multiple archetypes.	Posted by Kaboinglefop on Jul 21, 2024, 12:02:00 PM Quote this Post
RIP EK ignite. Hatred nerf, Divine blessing, change to def auras. It really got hit from all directions at once. Last edited by MaxW81 on Jul 21, 2024, 12:04:26 PM	Posted by MaxW81 on Jul 21, 2024, 12:03:51 PM Quote this Post

Hatred was OP, you can't really dispute that. But hatred could have been 2 different auras instead of just removing its usefulness.	Posted by Kaboinglefop on Jul 21, 2024, 12:05:34 PM Quote this Post

EK in reality lost only at most 10% DPS.

Added fire damage support has this same functionality. It has no flat like added cold or added lightning. This is just something they do. you need to adjust the build, what happens if you add zealotry to the build.	Posted by Lonnie455Rich on Jul 21, 2024, 12:20:21 PM Quote this Post
Spell Casters still have the best damage aura in the game with Wrath as a more multiplier with flat added damage at the same time. Id say be happy to have this kind of pedestal aura that stands over Hatred and Anger. I always thought Anger is the bad one of the big 3 elemental auras. Turns out when Hatred was too good it means Wrath is still too good for spells? My solution would have been to let Hatred and Wrath stay and make Anger instead more melee damage with a fire tag similar to Wrath.	Posted by zzang on Jul 21, 2024, 1:00:16 PM Quote this Post

Wrath adds flat to attacks more to spells not both, I rarely can justify using it over anything else tbh Last edited by Draegnarrr on Jul 21, 2024, 1:02:31 PM	Posted by Draegnarrr on Jul 21, 2024, 1:02:05 PM Quote this Post

So seems the 3 auras are more or less balanced against each other.	Posted by zzang on Jul 21, 2024, 1:04:49 PM Quote this Post

Tell this to the cold skills who don't have scaling from physical damage. [Removed by Support]	Posted by TauOrigin on Jul 21, 2024, 2:00:20 PM Quote this Post
Summoner mains, some of whom are also negatively impacted by the nerf: PoE players: Our game has a wide diversity of builds. Also PoE players: The [league mechanic] doesn't need to be nerfed, you just need to play a [current meta] build! MFers found strength in their Afflictions. They became reliant on them. I am not so foolish.	Posted by Pizzarugi on Jul 21, 2024, 3:36:32 PM Quote this Post
