Game Balance in Path of Exile: Echoes of the Atlas
*sweat* oh god... the aura effect nerfs are absolutely going to hammer death's oath out of existence.

" I just noticed that the quote I was responding to was about alberon's warpath, not the cluster jewels. I'm not sure if there's confirmation that the cluster jewels are being retroactively destroyed, so I took my post down, just in case they're not. |

The Minion Changes alone is a huge Nerf.
But on Top an Ascendancy Nerf for Necromancer? That is going way to far and is, in my opinion, absolutely not balanced anymore. Lower the damage for top tier spectres and lower the damage for Golems. That would all you need to do. But you, GGG, "playing" only min/max with Builds. Keep them good or kill them. So sad. | |
Still waiting for SST buff,, would think it qualified as underused skill :/

No matter if the nerfs to summoners were justified, you couldnt find a worse time for them.
We are still inside a Pandemic, it would have been wiser to wait with those nerfs, as the game surely was an escape for many out there and might now no longer be. Last edited by Ygidua on Jan 11, 2021, 6:33:17 PM

I'm not impress by what I saw. A lot of nerf. The new skill and support seem really niche. So I hope that the "buff" to skill are way better otherwise there's not much new for a player like me who can't make it pass yellow map.

" Yup, also late 30s, also severely limited on what builds I can play because they're too spammy. I tried to start heist with hexblast and ended up giving up on it (and the league). At this point I require the following out of a build if I'm going to play it: 1. 1-button win. No two+ stage castings like hexblast, fb/ice nova, desecrate/remation, etc. Or zero button like minions, of course. 2. Not flask reliant. 3. Moves by running, rather than spamming a movement ability. This actually crosses a huge number of builds off the list, and it seems like their design emphasis is going to be further trying to move away from 1 button builds. I understand from a design point of view why you might favor that, but at the pace this game plays, a multi-button attack cycle is murder on the wrists. |

As I expected, you guys really nerfed golemancer. Good job GGG! taking away all the fun.

" No one's saying skeletons are so weak they can't clear red maps. The critique comes from the fact that compared to most other builds, skeletons fall extremely short in league encounters, especially in red maps. You struggle with Legion, Delirium, Delve, Breach (juiced maps), and Incursion (especially on juiced maps). PoE players: Our game has a wide diversity of builds.
Also PoE players: The [league mechanic] doesn't need to be nerfed, you just need to play a [current meta] build! MFers found strength in their Afflictions. They became reliant on them. I am not so foolish. | |
I'm soo happy about all those nerfs(hope to see more), they're logically correct, keep the great job u doing, the more harder the game become, the more fun u'll get. Thanks to all GGG team for everything, keep it up! Don't listen to whiners/casuals, if they don't like nerfs, they should play some shitty game like D3.
