Aura Reservation and Reduced Mana Support Gem Change

I really hope enlighten becomes a more common gem. I have played to lvl 80ish twice and I have never seen an enlighten gem drop. Are they currently only coming from lvl 72+ maps or something?

The fact that people are so frequently discussing enlighten even in this thread should show GGG how drastic of a mistake this is. People don't give a fuck about gaining the gem slot - they want the auras. That people are simply going to move on to another much rarer and more difficult gem option proves just how dumb the change is for achieving the stated goal.

Auras are good - auras are strong. If your aim is to increase gem slots, drop the cost of auras to what they would be with high level reduced mana; don't drop them to where you still can't run 3 appropriately.

God, stop changing existing items. I don't want to have to read every single thread in the forums to avoid getting ripped off by people.

Cool game, but seriously, you guys screwing with existing items is just shoving a giant dildo in people's asses who aren't amazingly up to date and informed. And, it is rewarding people who are cutthroat profiteers.

Here is an idea. Put some thought into items before you fucking release them then let them be.

I never want to buy, own, or sell anything because of the fear that once again I am unaware of some change to an EXISTING item that will drastically alter it's value.

RIP 2H

Great idea, everyone that plays this game knows that behind multistrike and spell echo reduced mana is the most desirable gem in the game. That being said, I hope you raise the attribute requirements on both gems or people will now slot both reduced mana and enlighten for an op combination. That or make it so that you can only apply one gem somehow. Being able to equip 2 reduced mana reservation gems sounds game-breaking and very scary.

It is seriously time to ask who is making balancing decisions, this is just dumb. Really dumb. How this made it past the initial drawing board and onto a manifesto is honestly baffling.

Stick with Mathils builds usually uberable certainly 78 mappable for like less than 10ex. Dudes a true master of budget.

Being broke isn't the issue

The thing I'm most worried about is that the monkeys on balance team will take beta feedback and just beta feedback and decide that the change is okay because people are still capable of making builds.

The point is that you are destroying ALL EXISTING BUILDS. When 2.0 hits, I should not have to spend a week scrambling to devise a new setup for my level 95 SRS summoner.

She has mirrored gloves from Ghazzy for auras. RRRG. It took us 30 minutes and over 2000 chromatic orbs to get those fucking colors. Ghazzy probably remembers it because he was a great guy and used some of his own chroms for me. AND NOW THEY ARE USELESS. THERE IS NO BLUE SLOT FOR ENLIGHTEN.

Making mirrored items not top-tier is fine. I don't give any shits about that.

Making them suddenly complete shit if they were made for auras? No, fuck you. Fuck you all. This change could be maybe acceptable for temp leagues, but not Standard. Making items fundamentally "do something completely different" is never okay.

I'm not even mad that my 2 or 3 level 21 reduced mana gems are now 100% useless. I'm mad about my fucking _mirrored gear_.

Edit: make Enlighten a white gem, or revert this, and I'll calm down. Until then, I hate everyone on the balance team.
