I think the nerf was too heavy handed. It now leaves me in a spot where I have 40 hours invested in a build that I can't play.

That said, I need to move on. Has anyone found a viable alternative build for sorc yet?



Nope, going to see how it is pulling comet out and using it manually and then dig around for a possible respec
Never played PoE1.. got this game wanted to play a sorc.. and didn't want to go lighting/fire like i seen alot of ppl doing. This was the 1st cold sorc i seen that was good since D2, put 70+ hours into it I'm at lvl 61 just got to act3 was having fun, now idk what to do other than w8 till full game is out or spend the 150k gold i saved to maybe respec and play that lighting/fire build? till that gets nerfed? :(

I have 300k gold, level 70 and dont have enough to fully respec.. but I can get close...

Just can't determine what I want to do.

It's a beta, you could tell the cast on skills were OP and non-interactive so I get it.

Problem is with this build, we can't sit still and cast comet.... i tried... you will get wrecked.

I am going to attempt to see if I can get the cast speed up enough to where manually casting comet is viable because if it casts instantly/almost instantly ill keep playing it.

It's impossible while +1 second cast time is in place.
If you played PoE1 you'll know that literally nobody plays builds that require long cast time(channeling), for example Flameblast. In the endgame you want to zoom through maps. Waiting 2 seconds for a skill to finish casting is a luxury you can't afford.

I turn on game rn and test it, so im in the end of act 2 cruel and can say the build is playable on campaing. Problem will be with the endgame, but campaing is fully playable in my opinion. Bossing is the same, but to clear the white mobs i spamming wall's, frost bomb and cold snapping them and work ok.



Where are the insults? And where have you made any point? Please tell me because all I've seen is straight whinning. Other dudes here made points why it's bad for them, you have not.[/quote]

Lets leave the beef behind now...no need for that. Playing poison ranger now...and yes poisons are very satisfying and rewarding to play...lets have a bet...poison will be nerfed in the next patches?! Deal?!

I'm also rerolling my sorc to a ranger since I can't stand what they did to sorcs..I can't even progress now. Now I'm scared as heck what to even build for my reroll since I don't want to deal with dumping 70+ hours again to just have to reroll I want to get into maps. Do I go Lighting or Poison is the question on the reroll...

Mean while my friend is 3 shotting bosses with his melee build and other friend is machine gunning down packs with merc. Insanely bad luck man.

minus the currencys i wasted to craft gear for my sorc I'll have some left over currencys to start with the ranger I guess on the positive.

I have bad feelings to start the new char... What if i start something again and they will nerf it again... So confusing

Honestly this is EA so its just testing stuff anyways...
I think they overdid it a bit, I think a nicer balance is it triggering at least once per normal size trash pack. From the sound of it people can kill many packs without it triggering even once which is no fun.

I expect some more tweaking!
