Development Manifesto: Balance in Path of Exile: Conquerors of the Atlas

Yes skills got nerfed but everyone is forgetting about support gem plus to make up for it.

multimod nerf makes sense when you remember about the new exalted orbs. They want you to use them!

I don't know about this "balance" (wave of nerfs). This patch is focused on making the game even slower but RNG forces you to farm as fast as you can. I don't have a lot of time to play as it already was - probably going to just sit this league out.

you're clearly almost there here let me help you..

the changes to make the game "hard" is to retain numbers as much as they can to squeeze every single number online they can keep playing, the RNG on top of RNG is becoming a key feature of path of exile, along side with the casino (multi mod nerf)..

granted, they want to keep players playing their game and that's fine but there's not enough being done with other several critical issues this game has but the "demand" is going towards making the game "hard" not fight RNG..

I showed this to my wife... she wants a divorce now :D

Why? Are you the one responsible for the nerfs?

this buff monsters to counter the top builds is a moronic way of thinking how about buffing the bad skills/builds. How about buffing player defenses and getting rid of all the trash mobs that 1shot most all builds. How about buffing the Accendancies that are trash.

Why buff molten strike? its had plenty of time in the sun, while so many melee skills sit in the dark.

Molten strike is indirectly nerfed in this expansion by lowering damage bonus on Point Blank keystone from 50% to 30%.

Some modifiers no longer appear on Shaper or Elder items, like the "increased Physical Damage and Socketed Gems are Supported By" modifiers on Two Handed Weapons

does it mean no more helmets for HoA builds with supported by X lvl minion damage?

Helmets are not two handed weapons.

Most bow builds came out noticebly worse :/

Arc, Soulrend, Molten Strike, Shattering Steel, Lancing Steel, Venom Gyre and more have been buffed. This is a buff.

Welcome to metanerf league, guys.
