Energy Shield and Life

I just geared 2 of my lvl 97 chars and maxed out hp / es on both of them, +- putting the same into dps node. Nothing too fancy gear for few exes.

I have

9k hp

all 80-100hp gear slots no kaom (kaom mean no six link for 1h builds btw)

vs

16k es

regalia 766es, helm 350es, shield 400es, gloves boots 200es, + dsicipline literally only shit you can get for few chaos after days.

With slightly better gear ( like 20ex or so) I could get it to like 18-20k es.

While in same time there is no way i can boost my hp at all, maybe up to 10k with perfectly crafter essence gear or so.

So in a nutshell, the math proves GGG is going into right direction.

You also have to include how many points you spent on life nodes and how many ES nodes you use (something tells me the points spent on ES nodes are much fewer, thus giving you more points to dedicate to dps).

We've seen a single player on reddit reaching over 25,000 Energy Shield while still having the damage output to sufficiently complete all of the content in the game due to having a full set of perfect mirrored gear, compared with the 9,000 Life that a slightly above average Life character with a 5 link belly purchased for a few chaos orbs had, so we've decided to completely fuck up ES builds for everyone else

I fixed the OP.

Or, possibly, some people are saying to stop flying off the handle and wait to see what the final changes are before losing your damn mind. Again, these are the proposed changes for the start of Beta, not the finalized changes for 3.0. Every single thing mentioned in this manifesto is subject to change. By all means, bring up your points for why you don't like the changes. But some of the QQ ragequit posts are just too over the top. Like, seriously people are dropping f bombs all over the place and vulgar insults over a game. These are grown people acting like spoiled children and throwing temper tantrums because god forbid they play a harder version of the game. Sorry I guess that people might have to try a different build now. Sincerest apologies that people might not get to keep abusing the same ES/VP/Leech/High DPS mechanic in every single build they roll.

I guess people really do love the dumbing down of D3 so much that they're willing to move to PoE and QQ to make it happen here too. And then what's next? Move to Grim Dawn and bawl their eyes out until the devs there give characters 90000000000000+ damage and eHP?
I left D3 after years of playing to get AWAY from that stupid nonsense. Yay for people trying to bring that stupidity into yet another game I enjoyed playing.

Also, anyone that didn't see this coming has to have been living under a rock. We all knew the nerfs were coming. It was just a question of when and to what degree. And it seems like devs are wanting to nuke it and them rebuild from there to fix the mechanics themselves as opposed to just putting the "buff life/damage" band aid on it like every ARPGs have done. Of course, even simple nerfs seem to have the forums and reddit in full blown babyrage mode. I guess I should have seen the universe-sized mounds of salt coming. If it's not spoon fed to people, they'll cry like children.
