You can't play the game without power especially when one of the gems you need cost twice the Exalted I've seen in two leagues or you can't simply beat Awakening 8 Sirius no matter what because you need 100ex gears unless you play a broken build.

There is half of the game I can't simply play because I will never be able to generate enough firepower to last more of one step simply because I can't farm 50exats a day by grinding the same map nonstop.

Lol that's such bullshit. There's at least a couple HUNDRED builds that can kill awk 8 Sirus on less than 10 ex budget. Just learn the fight mechanics and it's not hard. But if you're used to staying in his storms on aurastacker then of course everything else will be underwhelming.

TLDR: I can't beat A8 Sirus on a low budget, brainless passive playstyle build now?

The fallacy of someone that has lost any other way to keep is obviously wrong point of view.
Thank you for proving me right.

Nerfs are good. They make us better players. Without nerfs, the game will become very easy to defeat.

I never played an Aura Stacker, so far I played an Ierophant Totem and Enky Arc's Witch and both build failed at beating Sirius at Awakening over 0 since I laked the over 200 exalts necessary to buy the needed endgame gear 60 of which were for an Awakened gem. You have been proven wrong.
And Sirius isn't even the hardest thing around nowadays.

40 skill gem buffs. I am so excited. I read the scorching ray changes and really think it will now make the skill viable in A8 Sirius and Uber lab... So excited to read the full patch notes on how other skills are buffed as well similar to scorching ray. Just a question when the heist guy is trying to open doors and instead running around can I use scorching ray to penetrate the doors?

I don't see anything wrong in having passive builds that are easy to play requiring a lot of currency investment to make it work.

That is the weakness of this playstyle. You can't have something that is both strong as fk AND easy to play AND easy to get access to.

Everything needs to have clear strenghts and weaknesses.

It is called BALANCE.

Get used to it.

EDIT: Actually they need to find a way to make summoners a bit less passive. I'm going to make a post about it later.

You say you wan't to remove " useless " buff like Move speed etc to buff the real stats. Ok let's talk about assassin, you simply remove all moove speed, remove cast and attack speed buff ( to gain 25% effect on elusive, not worth at all when Sirus don't care about evasive rating, he always touch you when you take a spell and you instantly die )
You remove too many damage about poison passive just to put 0.1% more critical chance for each monster, yes i have to kill 1 less monster to have 2% but i loose chaos damage ! Worth !

You really nerf, and btw moove speed is not filler at all of course, it's part of the game, remove all the moove speed buf ( from potion, boots etc ... ) and you will see Move speed is essencial.
