Fracturing should be removed

I crafted 2 manaman wands in settlers league. Strating with fracturing a hybrid mod. It was the most accesable way for powerful items that are not mirror tier items and that are way to expensive on trade compared to crafting it yourself. I think fracturing is the best we got right now when it comes to reasonable but powerful accesable gear. Or maybe it's the second best after recombs, dunno, but there is no reason to remove it.

Not to mention eldritch implicits. If you want powerful there it is expensive with the orb of conflicts etc but not that broken. There is really no need to balance that.

Better start with the mirror of kalandra and synth implicits, haha

Especially Fractured Items rolled with an Essence are too easy to acquire and can be already like Mirror Tier Items.

There's always that ONE sentence in a post that......completely makes the entire post irrelevant and misguided. This one is particularly shocking.

Fractured Item + Essence is already like a mirror tier item? Have you ever SEEN or CRAFTED a mirror tier item? Because this is.....

Even mathematically, this doesn't make a lick of sense: with fracture + essence you get TWO great mods (out of 6). If you are LUCKY beyond lucky, you get maybe 3 or 4 good mods on very few essences, but rarely perfect. The currency, time, and effort it takes to get SIX perfect mods (mirror tier), or 9+ with implicits, is like factorial levels higher.



You are actually illustrating a VERY different point in your post: how easy it is to actually craft DECENT gear for any build (but certainly NOT top tier mirror gear). Whenever folks complain it costs mirrors or hundreds of divines to tackle t16s or t17s........THIS is why that is utter nonsense. A good fracture plus an essence, which costs you almost nothing, can get you a full set of gear through mid-juiced t16s, even t17s depending on the juice and build.

This is actually a VERY GOOD THING for the game. Players shouldn't be stranded for so long in the low tier maps with no hope of getting above it except to grind incessantly for hundreds of divines for upper tier items. BUT they SHOULD be stranded for a VERY long time before min/maxing and grabbing mirror tier gear.

Fractured + essence = likely 2-3 other terrible mods (e.g. +2-3 fire damage)that can't be redeemed without lucky annuls and slams

Ok buddy mirror there for sure

The game needs way MORE deterministic crafting, not less

Virtually all wearable GROUND LOOT is already useless for endgame. Now you want to take away the few morsels of dependable lower level "crafting" options for us peasants who don't treat the game like a job? nope

and yet here i am missing those juicy double/triple fracture recombinators.

you know there is life outside poe, right? like going clubs, taking pills, doing chicks..

You're talking to a community who thinks that playing 4-6 hours per day is "casual".

play ssf and ignore everyone else. It solves a lot of the problems poe has in sctrade.
