Character Balance in Path of Exile: Lake of Kalandra

Can someone rich please help me to get anywhere next league?

Hello! Interesting manifesto. Lot of positive changes but few thoughts of hc player:
Some things is awfully sad in that changes..
1. Hp/es build need that 10% Gravicious mod. GGG would have change it to "global 10% more es if not CI". Phys conversion is questionable for life es builds..
2. Minion rings dont have sockets! Always need 2-3 more sockets on minion builds even with two unset rings, cant even use carrion golem and animate guardian same time.. This new rings is ok for leveling but trash for endgame..
3. Base minion stats in acts was sad before, making them have 30% less life in acts is very questionable. Minion survivability always a problem when leveling untill uber lab when you craft minion res on unset rings.
4. Shield is core of es build after remove of gravicious mod. Titanium spirit shield is base for es builds. Who will use worse es shields for few minion damage%?

"Cleave now has +0 to Radius at gem level 1 (unchanged), up to +10 to Radius at gem level 20 (previously +8).

Reave now has 170% Effectiveness of Added Damage at gem level 1 (previously 150%), up to 250% at gem level 20 (previously 225%). Vaal Reave now has 250% Effectiveness of Added Damage at gem level 1 (previously 200%), up to 350% at gem level 20 (previously 313%)"

here's your melee rework. xdd

Can't wait to go 3 more months. Anyone deterred by this manifesto is weak.

Huh, cant see your 40/40 challenges and full mirror tier gear to call other People weak...

Those are some amazing changes! I'm really surprised by some changes, surprised by some lack of changes (zombies for example), and I'm extremely excited to try it all out in game. Great job!

It now grants 8% of Armour applies to Elemental Damage from Hits.

LOL, a FREE Transcendence but you are still protect against phys dommage ^^

You do realize how garbage 8% is going to be on an average character considering how Armour works?

Umm armor stacker builds with smite and aura effect cluster reahs about 3 mil armor.. 8% of 3mil thats 240k armor protecting you from elements without giving up the 75 or more resist ? ya well..

I really enjoyed last league, but i really gotta say this does not look good so far tbh.

So funny how they actively, consciously make the game worse by removing things that people choose to use because they are good. Now, people will take other things because they are worse. BALANCE!

TBH I am fine with these nerfs for the most part. Just wish there were some more buffs (melee especially). Blazing salvo and SRS look like they might be looking into now for starters though.

Honestly wish there were stronger nerfs to seismic though, still think it might be the strongest league starter.

Also really hoping we see Nightblade elusive scaling the bug fixes for the final manifesto.

Still crossing my fingers for new skills tho.
