3.20 Balance Manifesto: Jewels and Ailment Mitigation

Nice one!

This is terrible.

So what I'm hearing is the few useful jewels like unnatural instinct is going to be as rare as HH and the general way most people get CB immunity which is useful but super common unique jewels is going to get shafted. The idea of making more unique jewels meaningful sounds great but after recent changes I feel like I can only see the draw backs and the upside is much smaller.

Also the story had a lot of really useful unique jewels that can't drop and just having them removed or something you can't count on for something as worthless as a random rare seems messed up. Just because something is unique doesn't mean it isn't special just because a quest rewards it. That is what makes it unique that you can only get it from the quest which is what makes it unique worthy.

Wow. Love this change. Seems along the lines of a 'buff' if you can even call it that, definitely a move in the right direction. Hoping new jewel drops aren't too too rare...

I'm now more hopeful for the future balance manifestos. Keep it up, GGG! #MakeWraeclastGreatAgain

I agree! #MaWGA

lol

[Removed by Support] dilute the mod pool because you hated rerolling implicits with harvest, kill build diversity with less jewels to pick from and undocument changes to make players find out for themselves? neat.
Every unique jewel better be unnatural instinct tier of good to balance this out


inb4: solution, unnatural instinct was feeling too mandatory for certain builds so we reworked it. It now provides 0.1 dex str and int per level

PROBLEM Most unique jewels are bad.
SOLUTION Buffing them so they're worth.

GGG's SOLUTION Removing them :D AAAAND, make the already good ones even more rare to get.

Nice! thats why i stopped playing this.

I'm less concerned about what the manifesto says, and more more about what meaningful information is omitted from it.

200% agreed, this is just butchery not buffs

First Manifesto: "Buff"
