Path of Nerfs

the xp nerf is the most retarded thing i've ever seen. if you want the grind to 100 to take longer why not even it out on all levels... doing it on only the last 5 level is really retarded, i just don't wanna grind 1 level for 1 week that's really stupid...

The xp nerf killed my hype for the expansion.
not all people can play 15+ hours a day

If you can't play 15 hours a day this doesn't effect you anyway lol...

.0001% of people are affected by the xp nerf get over it!

lol at people demanding an answer to why GGG nerfs things when they put it literally in the first sentence of this manifesto. like literally, it says "we're not afraid to nerf game elements that are too powerful and are harming Path of Exile"

even more lol at the insinuation that people without any or many expensive supporter packs are somehow inferior to have an opinion.

quite simply hilarious. hi-la-ri-ous. nerfs always bring the best out in people on here.

I approve all the changes. They were needed. For those threatening to quit over these changes all I have to say is "get a life".

Only nerf that interests me is the ROTF shield one, i think -3% fire res wont do that much dmg to overall RF sustainability, gonna start as RF as planned.

Are you guys also change the vuln on hit glovecorruption?

I would assume the corruption pulls from whatever data the gem is, so I'd say yes.

You can tell i suck at this game because these nerfs don't really affect me.
I'm too interested in building/theorycrafting to take characters past level 90, i don't steal some youtuber/twitcher idea and play that, im not good enough to figure out the exploits all by myself.

Honestly, I think these nerfs only hurt the elite players and the cookie cutters in their footsteps.

Something else will be OP again.

The real problem with killing instant leech is that any leech build that didn't invest all their passives into life before, especially Rangers, Shadows, and non-es witches, will have no armor options this upcoming league except Kaom's Heart and Belly of the Beast to off-set losing out-leechability.

Even at 4.5-6k life, which is quite high and needs pretty good gear to reach for those characters, many end game bosses were already brutal encounters if you're actually trying for Atlas Completion. Corrupted Red Map Warbands, Torture Chamber Lightning Beam Cannon, Plaza Goddess Beam, Vaal Temple burst dmg etc. These map bosses often took a few deaths, or investing in gear that gave you enough dmg to being able to survive and kill them fast enough to mitigate their threat.

With the loss of instant-leech, that means being able to survive these encounters as those previous builds will require buffing your life pool and abandoning most of the very passives you started as that class for. And the best part, even if you buff your life pool towards 7-9k, the burst and DoT dmg in those maps will be more than what your new and improved "faster leech rate" can deal with. Especially after accounting for all the lost damage and crit from passives.

What is your solution now for life based Shadow, Witch, Ranger, and Templar Spell casters that used Warlords mark and VP to survive maps? For Example, Freezing Pulse.

Welcome to Path of Duelist, Marauder, ED/Contagion/Chaos DoT Shadow, and the exact same Summoner build League, after League, after League.

I'm actually okay with almost all of these nerfs. Even though the Rise of the Phoenix one kinda hurts my soul since I love playing RF I totally understand. And it'll be nice to have more shield variety now since Rise isn't the obvious best choice anymore.

Only nerf I don't really care for is half the Dark Pact nerf. I totally understand dropping the self cast damage down since it was really high, but I'm disappointed at the range nerf. Halfing the range would have been okay, but full removing the range bonus? Booooooo.
