You guys really just decided to kill chaos bow builds so pathfinder can be completely dedicated to concoction builds.

Not even any compensation for it anywhere, and on top of poison nerfs as if they needed a 15% more nerf, attack speed nerfs, and nerfed several passives in the tree.

No universe poison builds were overperforming to that degree, especially in the context of other builds.

the ACTUAL fuck did I just read???????

NGL, some of these "changes" are insane. Like, holy moly insane.

And I don't only mean that in a good way.

Some of the interactions are going to be literally broken; which I wouldn't care about, if you guys could actually just keep your hands off the balance for at least a league.

But nooooo, it's always the same pattern:

1. Invent new insane league mechanic that grants ridiculous powercreep
2. Nerf the shit out of key mechanics/talents to preserve at least a semblance of balance
3. Ignore the 90% of the playerbase that is going to be negatively affected by this
4. ????
5. Profit (off of more/new mtx)

*sigh*

I like the idea of Crucible. What I don't like is having the game balance and economy upset massively every time because you are hell bent on preserving some vague sense of balance.
This repeated behaviour has led to (for me at least) abandoning/giving up on entire build types and interactions. Because the amount of (time) investment to even make it work at a fraction of it's previous power was no longer worth it. Maybe if the leagues were 6-9 months long - but I am pretty sure no one in their right mind would actually want that.

So please, for the love of god, just stop chickening out/teasing your playerbase like this. You want to make a crazy league? Good. But stop nerfing shit just for your new leagues.

Added a new Dexterity/Strength Support Gem - Momentum: Supports attack skills that aren't triggered. Using those skills will grant Momentum, which is lost when you move (including teleporting).

(New) Gain Adrenaline for 1 second when you change Stance

This is the most broken garbage I ever saw. You are basically forcing players to endlessly spam blood and sand stance change for the rest of their life. Players. that play honestly, gonna be heavily punished for not using AHkey.

I dont want to damage my wrists because of this mandatory spam every 1-1.4 seconds.

Adrenaline grants the following:

100% increased Damage
25% increased Attack, Cast, and Movement Speed
10% additional Physical Damage Reduction

Early acts leveling? Juiced maps like 100% deli? Extra move speed?

For efficient play you gonna spam that button from early till the ultra late game. Spam it every god damn 1.4 seconds.
