These auras are so fucked now. They were fucked before but the fuck just kept on and kept on, Why the fuck? just fucking stop, dude, shit. ALSO ENLIGHTEN REALLY? GGG LET ME FUCKING ASK YOU SOMETHING: When the fuck did you believe that having a gem that could only be leveled after doing like 10,000 fucking maps was a good idea for a game that basically resets every god damn 3 months? OF COURSE THIS IS A FUCKING STUPID IDEA, ITS NOT MORE DESIRED NO ONE FUCKING DESIRES THESE STUPID ASS GEMS THAT TAKE FOREVER TO LEVEL. GOD DAMMIT! THAT MUCH SHOULD BE FUCKING OBVIOUS, HOLY SHITDICKING CUCKLORD. u mad? he could be but nevertheless HES FUKIN RIGHT GODDAMIT And worst change is putting almost all bosses in new version of maps into fucking small areas, where you can't kite well or dodge stuff. What a terrible idiot invented that I want say to him: dude flick you, seriously flick you very much.	Posted by silumit#4080 on Jan 25, 2016, 9:58:18 PM Quote this Post
Even tho I really despise the way Do_odle wrote down his criticism I honstly have to say: He does have a good point... " Do_odle wrote: ...ALSO ENLIGHTEN REALLY?

Trying to satisfy the whole PoE community is like telling a nymphomaniac to only have sex once in a week. I think that's fairly accurate. :')	Posted by Zahkriisos1337#4785 on Jan 25, 2016, 10:09:24 PM Quote this Post
GGG good job on arctic armour, it finally is worth using But its really bad job on what you did with enlighten taking place for reduced mana this gem is too rare, takes too long to gain experience and in reality has to be vaaled where you have so slim chances of aining this bloody lvl 4 that it costs 15+ exalts. Not something obtainable for many casual players. It would be much better if reduced mana still worked with auras. It would give us options	Posted by Deleted on Feb 23, 2016, 4:11:26 PM

Enlighten becomes a much more desirable support. It now gives an option for end-game builds that are willing to give up sockets to reduce reservation, without the support being so impactful that every build that uses auras feels that it's absolutely necessary. Reduced Mana can have much higher values than previously, making it a better choice for reducing skill mana costs. So, from my point of view: "make reservation costs less mana intensive" - nope, or did I miss smth? "Enlighten becomes a much more desirable support" - nope, "a little"<>"much". It became much more valuable though; maybe that's what it was supposed to mean. "Reduced Mana <becomes> a better choice for reducing skill mana costs" - nope, if you need reduced cost you get it on the tree and use some dmg/leech/pen/whatever support in that red slot (I'm sure there are some builds that use it but is their number higher than before? srsly very much doubt it) edit or you just slap BM in there, problem solved And worst change is putting almost all bosses in new version of maps into fucking small areas, where you can't kite well or dodge stuff.

The announcement is confusing. Reduced mana doesn't affect mana reservation, but he is talking as if it does currently. Wtf?	Posted by Taeryanor#0862 on Feb 24, 2016, 1:33:33 AM Quote this Post

It would give us options well it wouldn't give you options, not really, because RM is much more mana reservation than enlighten. lvl 1 reduced mana = 25% reduced mana lvl 4 enlighten = 88% mana multiplier having RM work again with auras would make enlighten pretty much useless again.

On its own, yes. Then you stack them. Precisely. But not just that. For casuals who wants to run many auras RM will be just fine, for hardcore players who wants to dedicate i.e. 6l to auras they just add enlighten. Now we only have the (not at full potential) hardcore version, that ain't healthy	Posted by Deleted on Feb 27, 2016, 1:51:33 PM
