Path of Exile: Synthesis Patch Notes

"Mod tiers displayed with the Advanced Mod Description key now display their tier based on what that item type can legitimately reach. In other words, a ring with the highest possible Life roll a ring may obtain will now say it is a T1 mod, even if that same mod on a Body Armour would be T5."

Last but not least, waiting for this for more than one year, THANK YOU !!

So... no real buffs to self-cast, no buffs to attack builds, nerfs to some of my favorite existing builds, not really excited about any of the new spells. That's... not great.

Syndicate, my least favorite league mechanic ever, is now a permanent thing, and can't be ignored via locking laboratory anymore. That's... terrible.

Unless syndicate is removed/changed, or there's some compelling balance changes that make me want to try something new, I'll just check back in four to eight months.

Stop your retarted decisions based on your top players and streamers and listen to your player base.

Yeah.
The building should rely on its base not on its top antenna.
The things looks really upside down now.

when you nerf or buff something you really should give an explanation as to why.

The reason is obvious - keeping their jobs relevant. I guess this is part of their KPI for "new contents, reworked mechanism" every now and then. It becomes a spiral, nerf buff nerf buff, that's why the co-founder Chris Wilson is hoping that POE "could be played forever".

All the hard work and time spent to perfecting the build? Heck care, let's nerf it (RIP my Leech Slayer)
Players satisfaction? Fxxk it, anyway there will always be money pouring in from some rich kids.

Suggestion:
1. You do whatever you like for the challenge leagues, but dont touch the standard league 3 - 4 times in a year. Standard league is for casual players like myself to kill that few hours after work whenever we do not have other plan for our partner/family members/friends.
2. Use your brain to analyze what are the impact when you decided to nerf something. Your one brainless unjustifiable decision could ruin hundreds hours of hard work of some poor souls out there.
3. This is not a battle-royale game where PVP is the main theme. You buff whatever you like but it doesn't means that at the same time you need to nerf on the others. Balancing my axx.

Did you read the patch notes? They nerfed skills that were overperforming and mechanics that were either entirely broken or verging on it. They buffed almost every spell in the game along side ES QOL buffs and created interesting pathing options for casters. I honestly think they might have pushed the buffs too far in some cases. The only thing I disagree with here are the changes to slayer leech without any compensation.

No, why would it?
