Energy Shield and Life

I am really waiting for BETA testing.
I want to see if there will be any ES based builds running red maps?!
As for hybrid?! They are used for Auras and Low life nodes, but with LOW ES?!

It seams only viable builds will be LONG RANGED like Totems, Summoners, BOW.

Oh yes and RF build!

"

are you going to reduce monster damage to compensate

you should.
you know you should.

They're adding an extra layer of defense with their Pantheum system though.I wish people waited until Beta drops and we get all the changes, and not start crying every time we get a part of it.

Go hybrid

As a casual player (casual being having around 2000 hours clocked in), every time I finally can afford a build thats capable of late game GGG nerfs it.

I find it curious that GGG claims that players can get 25000 ES and high damage to do end game content...

Yeah, but have you seen the cost of that? How many players can actually afford that kind of gear? (% wise)

Or are you telling us that even those who have massive hours clocked into the game, spend a massive amount of currency should still have crappy characters?

What is the point in grinding this game if you are gonna end up with something mediocre anyway?

I Know GGG wants players to use other skills and builds as well but that has to be the choice of the player not forced upon by nerfing everything to the same level.

Most games that free to play suffer from "pay to win" syndrome.

Strangely enough, while GGG made a game that has a perfectly leveled plain field in that regard, it seems to want to kill the fun out of it.

And please note that while I love games where player skill is taken into account more than gear alone (meaning that hacing skill in fighting bosses is something cool), this game is "online always" meaning lag or simply not having a strong enough PC wont allow a good portion of players to ever beat certain bosses unless they have that overpowered character.

I am going to take a guess here and say that players that have lag/pc issues are a far higher % than those who have 25000 ES gear and high damage output.

All that being said, I still find this game hugely rewarding and nice to play. please consider this as a critisism of only the systematic break of builds, not of the game itself.

My 2 cents.

EDIT: This build nerfing thing is extrordinary annoying when you spend 6 months saving up 1500 fusing orbs to get a 6 link for your build only to find out 2 months later the item is esentially worthless because it has no use anymore in any build.

Here goes my WI VP+CI char. RIP o7 *sob*

I think low life builds will feel this the most.

Welcome to PoE.

That's the way they deal with balance, unbalacing. It's like a seesaw, they are unable to find a middle point, so they fuck whats "meta", then other thing is meta, so they nerf it and buff the opposite (& repeat, for ever).

CI was nerfed and then buffed more than once, Vaal pact, the same, etc.
ES items have been already nerfed, then again? Wtf...? What are they doing wrong?
1, 2 or 3 leagues, CI meta again.

I can't understand how something become so unbalanced, that ends needing so many nerfs at once. This (the unbalance) happened unnoticed? Really? But they provoke it, not us. PoE is their game, their items, their tree, their skills, their patch notes. How is it possible that they suck so bad at balancing? And now they fuck it up again lol.

I believe it's not serious that a game changes so drastically (not even the 3.0 excuse should allow this changes). This is not simply nerfs and buffs, this is game changing stuff. Whatever, this already happened and will happen again. I can't even play non-meta chars without being fucked up.

Maybe this happens because they dont give a fuck abount standard league, so this isn't so "bad" for new leagues. I believe this is the way they found to keep the game "fresh", always changing everything, always a ""new"" game. A little bit of new content, and new unbalanced things. As the new skills, always overpowered, mtx sold, then nerf.

Let's grind again, so I can buy new gear for my next nerfed character. I wish they do something against bots, so I dont have to everyday pay more for the exalteds, whatever...

Thx GGG I love your game, but I hate you <3

PD: AND THEY ARE MAKING NEW LEGACY ITEMS AGAIN, I FUCKING HATE LEGACY ITEMS. This is not right.

Good Luck HC es users :D
