0.1.0d Patch Notes

I had just respeced into cast on freeze after grinding gold for ages haha.


Akwell it is what it is. :D

This is my first post here, my first post on a forum in a long time. I don't normally care that much to post and just move on. However, as a long time Diablo player I was done with the terrible design and content. So I was excited for this. I started with a Monk and as I progressed it got harder and harder for little to no reason as a melee. My friend as a Warrior had the same issues. So I switched to Sorc and loved it to the moon and back. I spent over 20 hours in the last 3 days hard grinding it, getting the gear, rolling my perks. I go to workout today, come back and hour later, and the Frost Sorc I was playing is legit unplayable at this point.

I feel like I just got Helldiver'ed and it feels terrible. The melee classes are in desperate need of help but instead we are worried about classes that are having fun. Do you just want only the extreme hardcore players or do you want players that want to have fun but with a challenge? I as a new player to PoE am still learning and everything I just dumped my time into feels like its gone. I don't even have the gold to respect at this point and all my gear is focused on Frost. I am very much demoralized at this point.

I am very glad I didn't purchase bigger packs as if this is the direction GGG is going I will probably burn out soon and move on to the next game. Feels really bad.

Please give us a full respec, so many people are bricked.

I’ve just hit level 69 and finally got into maps with my CoF Sorc today. Initially, I had decent clear speed in T1 maps, but now it feels like my build is completely ineffective. Progress has come to a screeching halt, and I’m stuck in my hideout, waiting for something to change or considering a full restart.

I really hope there’s some form of compensation, like gold or respec points, as I don’t have the resources to make the significant adjustments needed. I understand this is Early Access, and setbacks are part of the process, but I didn’t expect to hit such a major roadblock this early on. :/

I understanding aiming to fix people mass proccing energy spells with weak abilities like firewall and srs ignite, but for people who were using higher rank skill it's a complete brick. I followed nobody's builds or guides and it feels pretty damn bad to get punished by people doing things like autobomb cast-on-death memes and have to spend all my gold to "fix" it.

I switched from Spark to CoF literally an hour before the patch. I'm still in the campaign, Act 1 Cruel. I totally understand the nerf; it was literally just pressing a button and erasing everything. It still works on bosses, at least in the campaign. It's not the end of the world; if I've been able to change parts of the tree several times while in the campaign, I don't see why there's so much drama. I'll finish the campaign with it, and if I can't, I'll go back to Spark.

1 patch to ruin a game, bravo blizzard...i mean ggg... wait are you guys from blizzard?

All “cast on” build just died, I was trying getting power charges for a way less boring, but for now is impossible sustain power charges, to maintain flicker strike + charge staff up, in most part of the time I have no more a way to get up full charges as before

I just tried reset points from ascendancy, take meta energy points on tree and every shock passive as possivel, and it still sucks, I guess the nerf was too much.

There isn’t another way to sustain charges up the maximum as before…

Was fun ggg, but the nerf was too much this time, please fix it

There are some pretty great changes in here, but... Nerfs to Cast on X are pretty heavy handed and have basically bricked the viability of a lot of builds. Obviously being that this is in early access/beta it is expected that changes would be made, but this seemed to change without much consideration to the players. Respect cost are way too high to make such a swift pivot on how some spells and talents interact with each other. I was having a pretty good time on my sorc, finally making its way through maps this evening until this patch went live. I would assume that there are many, like myself, that are greatly impacted in their characters ability to effectively clear mobs now and are left with high respect costs that they cant afford and either have to spend hours farming gold in old campaign zones, or spending hours re rolling a new character.

I've spent about 100 hours on my sorc since early access went live, trying different ability combos, spending several hundreds of thousands (if not millions) on respecs in the passive trees, finding what works and what doesn't. Cast on X is the best and the biggest damage enabler for the class, many other aspects of the class just do not feel like they perform well. I would assume many others have done the same exploration as I have and have arrived at the same conclusion.

Pretty big L on that front for this patch GGG.
