Character Balance in Path of Exile: Lake of Kalandra

Well, from the look's of it if nothing is changing all my pozitive vibe for the new league is destroied. Not sure if i will play with all the nerfs to defence. And definetly wont buy pack next league. All this nerfs ruin my mood and i dont feel happy giving something back when all i recive is bad.

GGG is constantly making it harder for casuals to come back

I've took some time to think about it and I think I'll do the same thing I did last league. Instead of being meta, I'll torture myself with making builds using the weak/unpopular parts of Path of Exile. That way I cannot say something sucks until I've tried it. Last league I chose to do the 2 most underplayed Ascendancies and it was okay(?) I guess. Chieftain is still very viable for the end-game, however Trickster... Trickster was pain, pure pain to play and I hated it. I don't remember playing Trickster actually but in Path of Building I couldn't get a PURE Trickster build going without feeling super bad. Took me a month to make a build that I was satisfied with.

Maybe it's not them that's crazy bad at what they do, but we(or me)that's not good enough to make it work.

*Cautiously typing*... not too bad..

I feel like GGG team is waiting in a room with a big TV for GFL to upload he's day one of 3.19 highlights and make fun of us

I'm a minion player and I'm exited about the new itemization options. Refreshing changes.

Looking forward for the league 👍

I hope this isn't all.
Interesting changes however.

I've always wondered, why not rework the character ascendancies such that there are trees which favor other skills and other kind of builds. Perhaps more trees or paths in general. Changing course of major builds immediately from the start.

No need to nerf so many things. I mean.. looking at the skill tree I'd think "variety of options" is the moto of PoE, but your patch notes in the last years have told me otherwise.

Gotta love this :)

On a serious note, why not wait till the patch notes / reveal when actual (new) skill info is released to dump the hate?

People aren't waiting because people lost the trust in GGG. Too many broken promise, too many mistakes, but mostly a game that from fun became just a frustration fiesta (at least for most of us). Right now, neither the best league announcement will not be able to fix the damage made by this manifesto.

Im still optimistic about the full patch/league notes, the nerfs in the manifesto arent really that bad

yet another season where mageblood is played in 100% of the endgame builds taking all the variety of belts and not receiving a nerf.

Of course, the nerfed pathfither and the nerfed flask refills, so that you have more obligation to put on a mageblood
