Path of Exile 3.0.0: The Fall of Oriath Patch Notes
" Funny you should mention that. Mjolner is a great example. When's the last time you saw a decent build with Mjolner after it's nerf? It's simply just not used anymore. So people who LIKED to use it would have had every reason to be upset. And then you will sit here and tell them that their complaints aren't valid by saying they are just complaining? That's kind of messed up, homie. |

glad the patch is so huge... even tho the nerfs to necromancer's CoD really weakened the build i wanted to play I dont really care! So what? still going to play auramancer and boost my friends through auras and they will appriciate it even tho they won't kill shaper in 2 sec!
So basically i read through last 2 pages and saw people crying how the game is nerfed... This league was the first time i had enough currency to go strong CI build (Frost blades pathfinder) and practically for few EX i could farm every content very fast (waaaay to fast). I was at the point I didnt really care about getting better weapon or 6L ES Armor with 4 offcolors just to get over 10k ES! basically the game was tooooo easy. Pizza totems etc. were just crazy strong. some were cheap and could already kill shaper with basically few Chaos and do all content basically worry-free. some were expensive but usually had way better clear speed and dmg then those cheap ones (still it was all about whether they killed a map boss in 2 sec or 5 sec). So all I wanna say is 2.6 way way too easy and got boring quickly. This league I am looking forward to see new builds that dont one shot everything and make PoE more RPG then Killing simulator 2017. I still wanna see PoE in a way that we actually need to know the game and mechanics and also gear and build well to kill content, not simply smash through and fight over whether strand is ran in 1 min or 1 min 1 sec... I also wanna see new acts as it was boring for me to go through same areas and acts over and over again so this is very good addition no matter how good or bad they are. So people crying about not being able to one shot bosses... get over it. Try to get the feeling of accomplishment when you actually killed a guardian or shaper (for example I ran last league a blade furry build but had no currency so it was not that OP but could farm maps. I tried shaper several times and failed but in a period of time I got better gear which was not op but got used to mechanics of shaper and once I killed him it felt rly good. this league I face tanked shaper and didnt rly care and it got boring quickly). Its a bit long but you guys really should think about what the patch brings in terms of gameplay, new builds and simply saying RF GOT NERFED SO IT CANNOT FACETANK double SHAPER's LASER SO THIS PATCH IS HORRIBLE is not valid and you should rly try some other RPG with cheats on since this was 2.6 with most builds. |

What I love with all the whiny people complaining and threatening uninstalling the game (whooooowww) is that if THEY where the balancing team of GGG it would either :
- create a super duper op build able to clean strand in 10 seconds and enough to make every other builds non interesting - or just trying to buff their favorite build while nerfing the one they don't care about, getting mad at eachother because they don't have all the same build tastes and end up doing nothing but raging on eachother and threatening of leaving the team. Besides, thanks for the changes GGG even though I'd have gotten more hyped with more endgame content, but it will sure come for the next patches, so keep going ! |

Congratulations for your awesome work GGG. This game is a masterpiece :D Last edited by Mindelo#6821 on Aug 2, 2017, 2:57:45 PM

TLDR:
3.0 Patch notes = boo Harbingers = yay " This is kind of how I feel about 3.0. I played the beta for a few weeks and while the new acts are pretty neat for the most part, I really only care about getting to maps and build viability in end game. While it is too early to see how everything will play out, it is also kind of hard to read those patch notes and be excited about new build ideas. The new skills tend to be pretty strong and I am curious to see the builds that come out of them. But the 3 league starters I had in mind all got hit and have me seriously puzzled as to what characters are not going to be a pain in the ass to get established in the league. I'm excited to see Harbingers and think it sounds like a fun mechanic. To me these are always what ends up driving longevity in a league anyways. But those notes ... damn. Hard for me to not be sad after reading all those nerfs. |

" Ok? They just heavily increased boss life across the board. If it is the same as Beta then bosses will have 3x life they did before 3.0. So, those uber fast boss killing builds would take 3x longer EVEN IF there were no nerfs. However, every build that was extremely powerful has just been nerfed, aside from Barrage but barrage takes a lot of currency to become uber strong anyway. Necro support was there to boost those non-meta builds to make it so that newer players could progress easier. My necro, which i fully geared by the end of Breach league, is still only level 94. Why? because i used it to boost new players through acts. To me, it was extremely satisfying to watch these builds that were just starting out become fairly strong. Now, the necro buffs are virtually worthless compared to that of a Guardian for this. Guardian grants a vast amount of survivability and as we all know it's either Clear fast or die in this game. The Guardian also grants 10% increased effect of Auras AND 15% cast/atk/movement on a Warcry, which is comparable to the Necro in dmg now. If we also take on the fact that Necro Support just lost roughly 30% of their ES it becomes fairly clear that their survivability also just took a massive hit. My Necro has 10k es with discipline up. This is because i use Alpha's Howl and a Prism Guardian in order to produce 12 constant auras + 3 vaals. A Guardian would have significantly more + regen + armor + free warcry. Now, people will choose the play Guardian 99% of the time. It just switched from being Necro support to being Guardian Supp. |
