Energy Shield and Life

Now that I've had some time in the beta, I think I can confidently say:

This is the right direction, but nerfing CI is completely idiotic and you should either revert that or buff chaos damage from monsters by like 1000%.

I am following a 2.6 CI build guide in the 3.0 beta. It expects CI, it doesn't even have a low life shav's variant.

There is literally no point in speccing into CI now.

I have no life investment at all. But you still just _hand_ us enough life that I can just *gasp* choose to not run any blood magic-powered auras. And then suddenly... I'm fine without CI. Because CI doesn't actually do anything anymore.

Es needed to get the nerf hammer, but this looks like using a sledgehammer instead of the regular framing hammer that was needed.

Want to see some more buffs to life builds and even extra bigger buff to life for melee life

I see just another random words with zero backup of the statement in order just to troll more the topic.
Fellow, we are not living anymore in 2001, and such short statements without any reasons behind is not well accepted on the net.

You're a person whose highest-level character is apparently 77 talking to someone who has gotten the full 40 challenges for the last *several* leagues and has at least one level 100 character.

Other people with TreeOfDead's experience may disagree with them (that is, TreeOfDead's opinion isn't necessarily "authoritative"), but in terms of reasoning for gameplay changes, their experience speaks for itself. You can be confident that there is a basis for what they are saying because they actually play the game.

So don't just randomly accuse them of having no basis--make a substantial counter-argument. Because when it comes to inherent credibility on the topic of game balance, TreeOfDead beats you by a few million parsecs.

well.. this would be whole truth if we don't count the 19 other accounts. isn't it, and been leader of 2 guilds.
Anyway the point is NOT "show-off", which is childplay. My point is not to be trolled the topics which is important for a lot of peoples, which have spend their precious time in here in search of joy and fun.
I clearly understand that ES nerf will bring a fortune to some item sellers which primarely were selling HP based itesm, but this should definately bring a missfortune to a lot of normal players.

+1 to those not moaning

GGG have a very tough job of balancing such a diverse population of unique character paths, I always played ES because it was clear cut better, does this limit power of some builds? Definitely, but so what, I was just copying almost everyone else and maxing ES because I was too lazy to worry about other defensive options. Its an illusion to think buffing life is better also, maybe some in this audience might complain less but everything else in the game would inflate to offset and result would be the same.

I like the changes, their will still be plenty of people going ES because the impact is mostly to very top tier gear which not all hardcore players even get to, but we will see more life builds and maybe/hopefully some more hybrid ES/Life builds. Not sure what I will go.. that's the whole point!

Good for you GGG on taking the hard road and making so many people cry for the good of the wider game!
