Path of Exile 3.16 Balance - Part 3 - Auras, Curses and Elemental Damage Over Time
" So far between these 3 manifestos there have been more buffs than nerfs so I feel they agree. Almost all the nerfs seem justified to me, besides gutting shavs/prism guardian(unless one of the new aura supports makes up for this) Last edited by TheGodAmongMen#8875 on Oct 7, 2021, 10:06:08 PM

" People see the nerfs and rage before they understand the buffs. On that note, a number of things did get nerfed overall and that's a little concerning, but it isn't the end of the world. As with any change, some builds will suffer and others will benefit. Even if all they did was buff some skills, that would be an indirect comparative nerf to all the skills they don't buff. Given all the mechanics already in the game, along with itemization and character customization, it's impossible to do a broad general buff that wouldn't benefit one build over another. People just need to understand that I think. |

What about minion builds? Are they dead now that HOP has less life?

GGG understands 3 elemental wildstrike is getting nerfed by EE being nerfed
yet no values changed on 3 elemental wildstrike's elemental damage overtime nor it's base damage value... why? Does this mean you guys don't want people to choose this skill as three elemental skill but to use it as conversion only? |

" You don't really know that until the patch notes drop... they could have buffed it |

" RF gained around 75% more base damage but lost EE and EO which is around 110% more damage against enemies with 0% fire res, more for higher res enemies and less for lower res enemies. Even stacked with flammability, elemental weakness, and exposure, pushing mobs deep into negative fire resist, RF builds are losing around 90% damage. Overall this seems like a nerf to RF, bigger for lower budget builds and smaller at the high end where EE was slightly less impactful. Does this mean RF is dead? I wouldn't say so. But it does seem like an overall damage nerf which to a lot of people would mean it's dead. Edit: They did mention including more sources of dotm, I don't really know how that will work without more details, in the end it might work out to be about the same or potentially a slight buff. I also forgot to note that Tempest shield's change gives very *very* easy access to shock immunity to RF, which is fantastic. Last edited by Krazlam#2312 on Oct 7, 2021, 10:23:26 PM
