Make a fucking build-killing big change JUST BEFORE the biggest patch release.
Many players be saying goodbye to you. WELL DONE GGG. Last edited by roy790803#2049 on May 19, 2017, 2:54:25 AM

Lay your portal gem to rest, don't you die no more. 'Cause it's a bitter sweet symphony this league. Try to make maps meet, you're a slave to the meta, then you leave. |

" You do not understand any situation at all. Just because this time did not change to you happy. You can not reach lv90 has nothing to do with the change is a personal problem. Need their own efforts |

" Wrong. I am not happy with my character mate. I play CI because I had to work so much this league (that's why I'm still only at 18) and struggling with a life build would make it even worse. That said, I don't WANT to play CI. It's just by far the best option for endgame right now. Carry on my waypoint son, there'll be peace when maps are done.

I love this game, I am only here to share my insight and thoughts about this massive, hamfisted nerf. As a Hardcore player with thousands of hours played, I spend a ton of time theory crafting and experimenting in Path of Building.
In Hardcore, you have three options:
In beta, we are going to see a lot more HC deaths of ES characters. And a LOT more content will be moved into SKIP OR DIE territory. For example, we currently skip Invasion bosses in higher tier maps because they can easily one shot you. More map mods are SKIP OR DIE in Hardcore by design, as Standard character need not worry about dying. This nerf shovels oodles of content into this "Skip or RIP" pile for Hardcore characters, in addition to killing them while they discover what to skip. Have you ever played a build, gotten to a certain map tier and discovered that your build couldn't surpass it? Think about all of the ES builds that will be stuck at T8 maps and below, simply because they can't reliably take hits, or take hits and reliably leech/regen/regenerate/heal/flask back enough of it before the next hit. Running T15 maps with double Beyond of the Call/Circle, with full sextant mods, was really fun, and I honestly can't imagine any hardcore ES build doing this safely any more, with less ES AND without Vaal Pact. I still RIP'd this league to >10,000 damage one-shots, by the way, and so have MANY others on the ladder. Honestly, I like the idea of reworking Vaal Pact. I think it would make perfect sense to invest passive points, or affixes on gear into Leech Rate, if it worked for ES as it does Life. but just "No more vaal pact for ES" is not a fix at all. Even if you're a kaom-happy life only builder that has resented ES builds for always dwarfing your HP pool, it is absolutely undeniable: The ES nerf and Vaal Pact ES nerf are BOTH hamfisted, and the fact that they are both nerfed along with Ghost Reaver is a lot. Let's also not forget about Low Life, guys, they're ES based too. Here are some better nerf ideas, GGG. to keep this productive. (if theres any hope that GGG even reads this) When used with Ghost Reaver:
just some ideas. any of these or a combination of them would be so much better than "No Vaal Pact for ES!". And with your overall ES nerf on top of it... I'm looking at converting my HC builds to life, and it sucks. Coming from the right side of the tree (Witch, Shadow, Ranger), you have to sacrifice ALL damage nodes just to reach 180% increased life. Hardcore-only players quit when they RIP enough times. It happens in every guild I've been in, and with the whole friends list. Some of us stick around and re-roll again and again, but toward the late middle/end of the league, everyone dead is done. You already accomplish killing the HC characters, GGG. I can see everyone being forced into Marauder/Duelist because anything that relies on ES (aside from Aegis) just won't cut it, defensively. It's life meta now, baby. As an aside.. cheap AF ES gear on HC! Buyer's market because nobody wants to play that shit. Last edited by luckyshin#5078 on May 19, 2017, 3:54:35 AM
