You guys are fucking bad at balance.

The changes are not even live yet. This is the plans for BETA! Give them a chance man. I believe in GGG and know that 3.0 will be amazing.

As an SSF-HC focused player it might be very difficult to build an ES based character with these conditions. Though I don't quite know why people are so angry. Some 21+k ES builds did have quite the comfortable time demolishing end game content, It really did make the game simpler than it should be.

How many actual, practical PoE builds can reach 10.000 effective life pool? In most cases that's not possible, not until you can afford a massively expensive Vaal Regalia at least.

I'm willing to bet most PoE players haven't spent 1000+ hours grinding. So they don't have anywhere near 900+ ES on their body armor.

I'm also willing to bet I will still not have a 900+ Regalia even after 5000+ hours of PoE.

A 20k+ ES build is not a real, practical build, that can actually do anything. It's absurd to nerf the game just because some dude built an insanely OP build, to prove that it's possible.

Good job GGG nice changes, high hopes for ppl actually playing the game not face tanking with 15k es++

Don't worry guys u will find the game different now that u have to dodge stuff .

No they wont. People will change to facetanking with life builds now.

Anyway if you build a full tank character, say juggernaut or gladiatior, why shouldnt you be able to facetank?

Ok.. so no buff to life...

What is GGG thinking

There is a very small buff to life, via crafting mods, but not enough IMO. Even a 1-2% buff to some (or all) life nodes would go a long way.

Where did you see that? My interpretation is that that prefix which adds life can't be crafted together with the +life prefix if it is already on that item

I'm not seeing how you're interpreting it that way. They said the were adding new life+defenses mod, not that they would be restricting it in that manner. It would be very dumb if they did that.

I dont understand the nerf on the rings tho.

I would imagine that is to lower the total energy shield on a charachter.

Yes, but at the same time it makes Master's even more worthless.

Ok, so those 25k ES builds you are talking about, I would like to see one of those beeing valid.
We´ve seen some few builds like this over the years, with mirror worthy gear, that i´ll give you.
But the problem aint there, if i Mirror things, i sure deserve to be overly insanly overpowerd compared to some avarage Joe.

Besides, i bet my left nut on the fact that 98% of those "25k++ ES builds" you are talking about, WERE ALL GUARDIANS AND/OR HAD A GUARDIAN WITH THEM.


I do agree that ES was an easy choise for most builds, and how easy it is to obtain ES compared to life right now is awfull.

But nerfing it to the grounds just proves the old point: That you people have no idéa on how to balance for jack s)=#".


Goodbye beloved low life builds. You will all be missed.




Sincerly.

Fuck you.
