Essence As a Core Game Mechanic
" It's important to note that it's not just being baked into Standard, it's being baked into all future temp leagues as well. The lower tier Essences will probably just be ignored in Standard, but they will find a use in the temp leagues. This is the same as with many other temp league additions to the core game - once you're OP you can probably just ignore them as an issue, but in temp leagues that Nemesis monster might be a real threat, that Tormented Spirit might represent a sizable opportunity or that Prophecy may be a fun experience (and reward). Ditto with Essence. Last edited by Exile009 on Nov 21, 2016, 10:37:16 PM

I rather liked the multitude of essence mob fights. Guaranteed rare monster which should translate to better experience gain. OTOH, I'm sort of a casual player and I have amassed a ridiculous stockpile of essences in ~150 hrs of Essence League gameplay, so I guess it would be the right move...
One-quarter or one-fifth of frequency might be a better compromise for those of us who enjoyed the benefits of essence mobs. EIther way, glad to hear they're here to stay. |

Sounds good to me. Buff melee.

" Perandus isn't part of the core game. So the answer is no. | |
decay damage was fine, even with low life the damage of ED still led to slow guardians/shaper fights (though safe and reliable), and caustic just clears map faster than ED because of no combo + profane bloom.
another unwarranted nerf that does little more than kill build diversity. it was nowhere near the blade vortex retardness. next to nobody was playing ED before the decay boost. | |
why global nerf decay when you make legacy the rest? GGG...
you should have nerf Blade vortex instead and blade flurry. 24.1.2018 [quote="Dro28"]wheres my fragment tab?[/quote] (I thought that was a joke) 25.1.2018: GGG- Introducing the Fragment Stash Tab! Last edited by unlucky_child on Nov 21, 2016, 10:57:06 PM

Any chance that the essences getting an extra free tab or are added to the currency tab? It seems that they already take a whole page just for themselves.

" Well if you want to give more control to the player when it comes to crafting, any chances that the existing Master mods will get expanded? I mean I once had some great leveling gear that has been made pretty much redundant with all the overpowered prophecy uniques. For example these rares are actually one of the best you can get around lvl 40:

I'd like to have the opportunity to add some top unique mods on them, making these much better alternatives than the current uniques. To get back to the essence of essence league: "Making rares great again." Thank you. Heart of Purity

" I'd still like a clarification here. Qarl's quote is ambiguous there. "Values on existing items" could mean the essences themselves too as they are items, but it might also just mean crafted gear. |

1/6 spawn rate is too damn rare.
Good decision to nerf decay and insanity gloves, honestly you should nerf both heavily. 177
