Energy Shield and Life

"

Es nerf sucks but vp nerf/no es leech is the real story here. Reflect? Rekt.
I find the 25k es story hilarious. I've seen builds this high, usually righteous fire, and the damage output is meh. I currently run 8800 es with a 930 es chest and all 20percent es rolls on jewelry. So let's say I end up with 6k es. Fine I can handle that. No more leech? Facepalm.

True they explain nerfs are ridicules they find 1 or 2 builds with ridicules amount es and "omg es so op "

really good changes

Thank you GGG for awesome changes in life / es ballance.

I think vaal pack should be completely removed for game, it's make play-style dumber.

A third less ES + no vaal pact = cya ES pretty much... which is a relatively good thing, because it has replaced life indeed and has trivialized the content.

The Design of the game should be hard.

It still will not be hard for standard players with legacy kaoms, taste of hate and all the other expensive stuff.
The point of ES was that it was affordable and flexible, and NOT, in fact, the best tanking mechanic in the game (unless you take some ridiculous stuff like mana support guardians into account, which no one played anyway).
Now it's just all about stacking a load of mitigation and life, because you just cant play without it.

Only took ya 6 years?

life still unplayable against t15+(+40 life on body does nothing)
ES not playable anymore against t15+(no vaal pact and almost same amount of ES as life)

I've got 5400 life and steamroll through T15s. You guys really should learn the definition of "unplayable". From what I'm reading, it feels like "unplayable" for y'all means that you can't no-diff T15 maps while alt-tabbing every 10 seconds to watch Youtube.

at which point did the game draw in all those "fun people" who don't accept no less than being able to facetank shaper with their vaal pacted es copypasta builds to say they have fun?

welcome in the world of challenges, boys. your tears are tasty.

after the es nerfs it's probably worth starting a es build to have fun.

oh god.... i cant breathe.

Let´s see what happens. As you stated this is a beta nerf only, to see how it works out i guess. The final nerf in 3.0, may very well look different. It is a shame that life builds atm. are non existing in the endgame - and will be looking forwards to building one.

What i sincerely hope is, that GGG take all players into account. When inviting and analyzing the results of the beta, i believe that it is of utmost importance to not let streamers have the greatest saying in this, as they must be seen as a minority of the total pool of poe players (i believe that you made endgame, not only for for them ?!?).

Personally i have still not gotten Shaper down - for me it is difficult and very challenging. But then again i only have 11.5K es, only invested around 50 ex. on my build and have a lot to learn about the mechanisms still. Probably have to get him down this season, before it is too late for me ;-)

With best regards,

A player who loves your game and is so much looking forward too 3.0.
