Energy Shield and Life

came back after a long break from Poe.....see balance as a title.....well i'm disappointed to say the least.

the whole reason to even go CI was to lower the chances of you getting instantly killed, because 9000 life is NOT enough. instead of buffing life to make it reasonable to play, you nerf CI which was already HARD to get into the 9-10k mark, let alone 15-20k unless you have 100 exalts sitting around.

you should fire who ever came up with these "balances" changes and find someone who knows what balance really is. dying is not a fun part of any game, especially when it's not YOUR fault. e.g boss has instant kill and you don't know about, which is 90% of the bosses in the game.......throwing hours into a character only to have it die in some stupid way is such a terrible feeling, it's why i stopped playing HC. to gear your character you need to have res all every single piece of gear, life/ES, and if your lucky a damage stat. this is the problem with the game, gearing. the gear you NEED is not the gear you WANT. you NEED 9k life end game, otherwise trash instant kills you. you NEED many exalts to even reach that life pool with max res, AND have the damage to do end game.



anyway ill look again in another 6 months and hope the game is actually balanced and playable without getting one shot by random arrows flying across the screen. although i don't expect that to happen, nor do i expect anyone to even read what i said fully. i like Poe but the balance issues are as bad as when Diablo 3 launched.....except they fixed that, kind of, well they made it playable......
Pretty happy will these changes, will wait to see what is going out from the Beta.

Btw, i feel like Beta is running for 5 years, so... :)
So many changes and rework of the game because it is hard to balance when introducing so many stuff and additional content at every patch. By the way, this content also allows us to stay in the game ! Be a bit positive !

Just some constructive remarks about the next content of the 3.0:

- vaal pact killed for ES is not good at all. How to deal with reflects even if some changes are done with reflect ? It is really a huge nerf of ES and will kill many builds. Hope it wil be changed or mitigated during the beta

- didn't see anything about performance of the game. Servers / interactions with servers / game engine are still a pity and I am afraid of the new graphic content incoming. May be think about an option to deactivate for example skill animations of other players when playing in party

- any possibility to improve trading one day ? It is a long time we ask for something to be introduced in the game. Using macros for that is a pity and I am bored with whisping tons of people just to get one item.

See you in 3.0 (or not for raging people ahah)

these adjustments really seem like too much.
i dont get why ES is always beeing compared to LIFE while it should be compared to AR/EV since thats the slot it takes.
it obviously is the best defense of those, but that seems to be because there are no diminishing returns whatsoever on ES while there are on AR/EV.
introducing diminishing returns for ES seems to make more sense to bring it more in line with AR/EV. better yet though i would like to see some adjustments to AR/EV that make them more appealing.
in general ES seems just so much better because mob damage just doesnt feel balanced at all,
they either do no damage or just one-shot you.
vaal pact feels like the worse offender here since it mitigates practicaly every small hit, which in turn gives the game the need to have those huge hits to not have vaal pact be a god mode.


Agreed
I don't know why ES is such a problem for GGG when same can be said about Life builds regenerating life; 7-8k life can be equivalent to 14 or 16k ES and also use of flasks. If GGG wants to make the game fair & better I think nerf life regen builds too and than c how other half (obviously unaffected by ES manifesto) feel about that!
guys, the whole game is getting rebalanced. ggg could take the blizzard approach and buff everything ci/life/monsters and soon we would all have 4,8 million es/hp. sounds nice, right?
wait for the beta first and then wait for the release.

i bet 90%+ of you [Removed by Support] are playing softcore anyway. so shut the fuck up and let the devs handle it. this game will get more popular with 3.0 no doubt about it.

currently ppl are afk'ing the hardest bosses in the game without flasks. [Removed by Support]

F**K you GGG, Didn't you think about "The Whispering Ice" Builds and "Hand of Wisdom and Action" Builds?

They sent many point for increasing Intelligence. And Now YOU DON'T LET TIME TO USE ES+VP ?!

WHAT'S GOING ON?!

Are you suggesting them to increase their poor number of HP, while they don't have any more extra point for HP?! That is the most rotten idea!!

Because those builds are beyond broken and even if you nerfed them by 50% in everything, they'd still kill Shaper AFK.

Seriously, defending HOWA is not what you want to do.

PS. I play HOWA ST in Legacy.
Carry on my waypoint son, there'll be peace when maps are done.
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.
Bullshit.

In Hardcore, you have three options:
  • Reliably defend yourself.
  • Skip the content.
  • Die.

I agree. And HC is a standard to balance around.
You can't 'kind of' survive. You have to survive reliably. High ES humbers are necessary.

People are just overreacting on any bigger changes.
Although I see some unwanted things (such as legacy items) I think that´s just the beginning of changes.
We will see how it´s going while the new Pantheon system is active.
