Content Update 3.26.0 — Path of Exile: Secrets of the Atlas

The buff to group play, considering settlers being the most succesfull league, with a VERY stable economy (wasnt it the league where Empy group was crying about group play?) is a huge mistake.

Even if the changes (which are very poor worded in patch notes) are not as impactfull as people might think (BUT WE DONT KNOW THAT) the perception for solo POE 1 players is terrible.

While i understand balancing PVP game around 1% of best players, i will never understand balancing poe 1 group play around 0.1 % of best players.
It literally promotes RMT, market manipulation, abuses.

Buff the group play sure, but reconsider starting the wording with 100% more. Its terrible decision and i really think it might have impact on possibly the most succesfull poe 1 league.

I will watch it, thank you, but even before I watch it, remember what i wrote about perception of this change - its also a very important and very negative factor.

*edit: i dont see anything from snap commenting on changes, so i might need some help here

Where ?
the party buff make no damn sens you saw in previous league that item like the eihnar memory of harvest beast wich was OP in group was litteraly economicly unviable for every solo player and now with this buff you made any kind of map juicing like high end scarab and i suppose allflame just as unusable as the memory of harvest beast was
The new Elementalist Shaper of Flame ascendancy replacing Chaos Golem PDR buff absolutely makes no sense. Most of pinacle bosses have some kind of bullet hell phase during which they are invulnerable and cannot be ignited. Moreover it won't work with DoT damage cause DoTs cannot be converted. Completely useless.
