Path of Nerfs

A hit to Slayer. All because of stupid Vaal pact and the issues it has been causing forever.

Leech needed a BASE BUFF and Vaal pact needs removed. As it is now, Vaal pact is mandatory.

Too many games are ruined by casuals indeed.

one reason i hate most games who went out the last 10 years + every ducking mega man is WAY harder than some game with a D and a 3 :)
and one big reason i like PoE a lot (and i know it is easier than it was back in days)

For everyone thinking the lack of Slayer nerfs was too good to be true, you were right. An unnamed designer just walked in to my office, tricorne in hand, to confess that a nerf was missed out when writing the article. I have updated the thread now.

I only have one thing to say to you:

i literally hate him

literally nothing you say makes any sense to me.

[Removed by Support] Why would a casual want to play something designed to punish them for being a causal? Are you some sort of masochist? If so, fine. Just give yourself some conducts like in nethack, and stop trying to control everyone ELSE'S experience.

The solution here is simple. Offline mode and mods. But we all know that's never gonna happen because mah patents, mah profits.

Slayer nerf is here! Reroll reroll

It's a boorf. You will be immune to stun and bleed for longer.

jss why make Acuity useless garbage? no real sense to go for uber now.
why change witchfire? coulnd't u just make another flask for new curse?
nerf barrage? grant us another good single target bow-attack instead of nerfing the only reasonable one.

vp nerf is ok if u adjust reflect, slayer nerf will change nothing, don't even care about it personally, slayer will be SO META in 3.1

RIP Labrunner PF, we shall miss you dearly

Now, for the developers reading, I wholly agree with the choice with nerfing VP, but please, oh god please give a better reason than "because players asked for it". There are about ten million good reasons you can give and that isn't one.

Don't listen to the crybabies on reddit! Listen to me! The crybaby on the forums!

- half the people here

development manifesto abridged version: So we heard your complaints, and instead of well thought out balances we chose to take an axe just cut the whole things off.

Now there's literally no mechanic to save you against reflect mobs for many builds, making slayer, berserker, totem builds and summoners the only few that options that are capable of enjoying high level content without logout macros and the works.

Glad there are people who'll still enjoy eating this garbage and kiss the ground where Chris Wilson walks upon. I sure as hell won't be playing this league. 100 bucks says league dies by the end of the 3rd week.
