I know that bots makes chaos orbs cheap :( but how can they ruin economy so quick? For once, you may had noticed how every 2 minutes or so a 70-80 lvl necromancer is messaging you asking to buy some random 1-2 c item and when you group them they always leave without completing transaction? I probably got around 50 fake trading calls per gaming session, and they always different characters, cuz i banned them till my list was full. These are the bots plague. One aspect of it, anyway. There are many, and their name is Legion. ^^ Yeah, this is very annoying, and its a pity there is no button to report bot suspicion. I tracked some of them into their lush hideout and went to their portls to observe how they play. they just do chaos orb vendor receipt. And makes chaos orbs really cheap pushing exalts to 200c price. But not at the first 8 hours. I am not a profi, but 've watched some speedruns, there is no time to trade - you just run, run, run through the mobs til act 10. There once was an exile who found a map of infinite doctors.

And I know it is a complex game therefore I focus on just a single aspect. And when this aspect gets destroyed then everybody has the right to complain. Even if it does not change anything. there is a nerf, but not ruining. Just remember the times when there were immortal call granting immune to phys, and bottles grants resistances and there were no 90% res cap - there were builds literally invincible with low life and permanent immortal call/CI/100% ele resists. And 90% res cap just ruined these builds one day. Now there is no ruining of builds, just slight/moderate nerf. There once was an exile who found a map of infinite doctors.

Uuh, path of nerfs! I like GGGs logic on what to nerf: Is it strong? yes? is it fun? Yes? NERF IT. Is it strong? yes? is it fun? no? leave it be. Is it strong? yes? is it fun? maybe, but you need hundreds of exalts. leave it be, lets support our chinese RMT chaosbotfarmers... Still no change to awakeners orb/essences and bench "pref/suf cant be changed"? Not even added info that those things do ignore that 2exalt craft? SAD.

Like in most games, mediocre intelligence. If something is working and liked, it means IT IS GOOD! Other things need to get pulled by the ears to match! Now 324324 things unusable, like in every patch, but there still will be optimal choice, always is, which will be abusable.

" Spellslinger Triggering spells with Spellslinger was faster and more convenient than other methods of casting spells while leveling. It now has a longer cooldown but gains more cooldown recovery as it levels making it more rewarding to reach higher gem levels. The skill now starts with a reservation override of 30%, scaling down to 25% at gem level 20. I don't understand why you disable all spellslinger build in order to nerf VD Necro. 30% to 20% reservation would be more fair.	Posted by aenima1985 on Sep 15, 2020, 9:19:42 AM Quote this Post

They can practically now delete that gem from the game, since is so weak, that nobody wants to play it.	Posted by Aeon42 on Sep 15, 2020, 9:21:09 AM Quote this Post

I think these changes are fair enough. Though when balance changes only nerf things and don't buff anything it's easy to feel as if they're taking away from the game. Maybe GGG should've added some much needed buffs to some skills too to counteract this. Well, I guess they did buff Vitality, but it's not enough IMO.
