You need to update your Path of Building since Vaal Discipline doesn't add ES anymore.

100k DPS on a level 100 character is extremely low. This is not a balanced build at all.

Go try fighting shaper with only 100k DPS, it's going to be like 15 minutes per phase.

My char on legacy doesnt even have 100k dps (without flasks that is)
No char ive ever had has had over 80k? in my hideout without flasks

I also dont have 35k life/es on said char lol

Soooo?

They made endgame dmg insanely high because they wanted even those with insanely high es to be able to die

Seems like this is the core problem of PoE actually.
They allow 25k+ ES and millions of damage.
But not in the same build.
And only to players who spent years grinding in PoE.

And because of those few who are super-rich they break the game? Instead of nerfing the very high end?

Just because PoE has to be a lottery, where the players are motivated by the unlikely win. So if they nerf the top, they nerf the insane lottery.

Nobody wants to play a lottery where there are 1 trillion very low win scenarios. Everyone wants the 1 trillion $ 1-win lottery. For some reason, hoping to win. Except nobody wins the 1 trillion $ lottery.

Ok, i'm a slightly new player. As i correct understand, life builds(LB) is shit and ES builds(ESB) is OP

Hello man, welcome to the game !
No my friend, Life builds are very good. There are several ways to kill all the content without mirrored gear. Juggernaut Aegis Aurora build, Marauder Bringer of Rain Dual Striker, and so ! So many builds !

If you are new to the game I advise you to watch videos in the marauder forum and you will see how life builds can destroy the game with 10-15ex budget max.

looks like GGG made this game for themselves, somebody ask if POE players need that fuc*ing ES nerf? they nerf every thing that ppl like most in this game...wtf.life based builds were shitty, and Es builds became shitty as well...so,what`s left?

I have read a lot of comments and most of people writting here are just scrubs and never really tried life build.

10-15ex is a big budget for the great majority of players.

Imagine they make notes like
*all es stays the same as on live
*all endgame mobs and bosses do +30% more damage
*all life nodes get +30% buff

Would these changes make the community happy?

Come on my friend, we are talking about ENDGAME.
Don't expect to clear the endgame content with 10 chaos !

In the last breach league I earn 25 exalts with a ancestral warchief marauder. Not trading, just playing. It is not so long to reach (I dropped 3 exalts on the ground)

I've been running a bunch of life MoM builds this league with about 7-9k life and 2-3k mana. Add in around 10-25% life regen, life leech, endurance charges and fortify. Overall I have been feeling pretty tanky.

With the new god powers that are suppose to protect against "One Shots" I have a feeling that most will just need 2 undergo an adjustment period similar to what happened when CwdT was fixed/nerfed. (Mmmm lvl 20 Molten Shell + lvl 1 CwdT was good times)

Id be fine with all life basic life nodes except the Scion cluster one giving 6% life each. Some even only give 4%, while the lowest ES nodes are 6%.

That alone would be sufficient, if still necessary than add an extra 1-2% to some life notables.

I hope the changes won't be retroactive :(
