gz on ruining another build archetype.
How to kill another aspect of endgame and stomp a 10+ mir build into history.
I played this build for 5 leagues now, improving it bit by bit every league.
About 15-20 mirrors of stuff, soon to be obsolete.
Aura effect gone from clusters, clusters unuseable.
i'd need 588% increased reservation efficiency on my gear to run all my 16 auras, which is impossible with 2% on jewels.
this leaves a bad taste in my mouth, you disregard the time i spent on this build in one single patch because reddit crybabies are complaining about party play. again and again you kill things in collateral from multiple angles.
the solution was so simple, lowering aura effect on others and leaving reservation alone as it impacts other builds aswell. now you probably ruined a bunch of builds with those changes, not just aurabots and stacking.
we'll wait and see how it plays out. If 3.16 is not the ultimate bomb league mechanic to make up for this loss, i will quit this game

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Pictures of the rude pms i am getting. I guess you're allowed to be toxic in pms, but you're not allowed to show that to anyone.
Here is an accurate version without the name and shame
The balance team and chris being out of touch with their game isn't the only reason why this game is going downhill.
The community is more toxic than ever, more so than the community of eve online. Alot of people i play with in standard are chill, but this? I can't imagine what goes through your head that you gain joy from sending me those pms, does it make you feel powerful or that you received some kind of twisted justice? Does it statisfy your jealousy?
Yes a broken archetype which should have been addressed a long time ago is now finally reigned in. Satisfies me greatly.
Enjoy making another build instead of playing the same build 5 leagues in a row.
yea play as dev want how you dare play someting that you enjoy LUL you have to play as we tell you obey cause some brain cant go around complex build . most stupid shit i heard.telling some one to do something that they dont want in fucking video game LUL.

Finally Aurabots are getting shafted, stupid broken build that never should have been in the game at all.
Ignite changes looks nice.
Summoners (minions), traps and mines are even more broken. They shouldn't be in the game either, that's how overpowered they are. The amount of investment for the damage uptime is WAY too strong. Nerf damage by 100% or even more.
Nerf nerf nerf... but no GGG does nothing, and every single league people league start with those skills... Disgusting
Affliction and Necropolis worst leagues ever. The current game design has slowly turned this game into a loot-shower fest, chase uniques are way too available; and obtaining chase items through stacked decks simply isn't fun. Rework stacked decks needed.
so basically this means i am not playing with anyone anymore :)
group play was meant to be better together than just two of you solo
can you imagine at least how much effort it takes to communicate with each other sometimes, to find time to play together? In the GRINDING game?? The fact that the aurabot is a PERSON makes things difficult aready. Firstly you must find someone who wants to play with you, then be able to communicate well, gear up which is not free(yes it is not that much but still aurabot can't function without every single piece of needed gear and lvl 95 or so)
I can undestand that group play might have been too powerfull, but this? Why I am guilty for enjoing supporting my very single poe friend?
What a cool idea, I just gonna enjoy supporting myself now I guess!
And maybe for aurabots there is still way to get out but aurastackers....
I can feel how this precious and special to someone build just melt every single path.
I'm just so sad I will never ever see my aurabot char shine once again with all her power... I am not even mentioning the fact that I will never ever play with my carry anymore
It is such a shame to be always afraid that new update gonna take away the build you enjoy, just because most ppl don't like "aura abusers" or smth like that... yes they are powerfull but how do I party play now? Who now needs an aurabot with 6 aura's with much less effect? This question isn't even worth answering
Thanks for deleting my favorite way to play guys
Because it was FAR TOO EFFICIENT AND POWERFUL. Surely you realise this. It's not killing aurastackers to the point where they're unusable. They just won't be able to stack as many auras and won't be as powerful.
They are DEAD now. Not for groups with 3+ ppl cuz they just split auras
But for simple duos who never could abuse anything like big parties
they just gonna make this work but two of us will never do
i would undestand if it was just the nerf but these are unplayable now for small parties and still good for big parties
The only thing I can come up without any real proof would be that 100% efficacy your going to pay 1/2 of the mana cost while at 200% you'd be paying 1/4 the cost of the reservation. I think this is the diminishing returns they were talking about as far as scaling with higher percentages. I'm assuming this is following a linear pattern though it could be quadratic as well which would make the gains higher at lower levels of efficacy and making higher yields even less productive to the player.
Also if you want to take out aura's from my minions can you just dump party members from the guardian's ascendancy so I can share them with my allies?
Cluster Jewels this, Cluster Jewels that, Cluster Jewels here...
It is pretty understandable that the intent is to reduce top1%'s power.
But, once again, low-end builds are getting rekt without having any solid substitutes for destroyed opportunities.
As if Delirium alone was not anRNGy enough, let's make it even less reliable source of character upgrades...
Also:
"
Quality on Anomalous Firestorm no longer grants “(0.00)-(-0.06) seconds to Base Duration”, or “First Impact deals 0-60% more Damage with Hits and Ailments”. Instead, it now grants 0-10% chance to Ignite Enemies. Because of base Ignite damage changes, Ignite with the skill is now 150% higher. If using the Anomalous quality, the Ignite is now 110% higher.
Without Ignite stacking. Yes.
The only thing it would kill reliably is FPS, again :(
...
"
Finally, characters that heavily invested in Reduced Reservation in order to run more skills on Mana were also able to reserve Life extremely effectively as well with no further investment, rendering this the only sensible way to play most heavily reservation-focused builds.
but
"
Items that previously caused socketed gems to have reduced reservation have been balanced separately to other reservation efficiency effects. They still provide generic reservation efficiency rather than mana reservation efficiency, but generally have values lower than double the amount of reservation reduction they used to provide.
and
"
Characters specialised in maximising the power of auras provide an absolutely insane amount of damage and defence to party members, making a party with an aura-specialised character so much more effective than one without.
but
"
Introduce a new Cluster Jewel Notable to increase the "Effect of your Auras on You" for builds that are building Auras for their own power.
doesn't seem to solve these problems with 1% players while putting casual players even deeper...
