WHY do you nerf all the trigger builds TO OBLIVION ? You are sooooo careful about buffing drops etc but ABSOLUTELY BUTCHER trigger skills, like you really dont want them in the game. One of my absolute favorite things about Poe is CAST ON XXX and you just went out of your way to nerf every build utilizing your own mechanics.

And to do this without even giving out free respecs is crazy, not that i care since im done now until maybe few months after real release when you can actually start a char and play a build for more than 2 days without it getting absolutely killed by the devs.

Good game tho, cya in a year.

You shouldn't have paid to play in early access if you have issues with them adjusting the game. Early access=beta. If you don't realized that, well... cya in a year lol

Holy shit you guys broked so many Builds with this patch remove it thats just a diablo move!

Good job GGG keep it up.

I still don't get it, why people are surprised. GGG was quite clear what's their vision for POE2 and that is different than POE(no 1 button gameplay no offscreening,no turbo clear, no insta taping bosses- we need engage with mechanics). When i saw videos from CoC eye of winter - comet. and Jurg coc , Srs, poison cloud explosion, i expected it will be nerfed or removed, my take is - if you didn't its on you. As its beta testing in early acces its reasonable to do it straight away.
Most of people copied busted builds from streamers and now they cry. Wake up if trivialise content theres high chance it will be removed or nerfed.

Cooking!

Keep the patch coming :)
some people are mad but that's more than normal xd you could litteraly give them the moon and they would still complain ~

Just keep doing what you do :> poggering!

I wonder why u put cast on crit in the game if u just didnt want it to work at all. Its not like people were using a lvl 1 to trigger it. In its current state its completly useless. To be even remotly usefull it needs to have its spirit cost reduced to 30. Keeping it at 100 is just laughing at us

The amount of people that are mad about this shows it needed it. Everyone was just playing the same thing.

I really think you tried to target some abuse use of low level skill gems and just broke everyone builds. All cast on Freeze, Shock, Ignite builds are totally dead. Considering the game isn't out for even a week, there's no way you don't want us to play with those spells. So, please, adjust this.

Those skills are good, because:

1)It wasn't OP. People didn't one shot bosses with it. And if some of those builds did, just lower the dps. The clear speed was good, but not amazing. IF the build is at all over tuned, is for like 20%, 30% máx. Now the skill us unusable. You guys had the work to create a bunch of those trigger skills, just for them to be useless? I can't believe that is your intention at all. I really want to believe that this nerf just missed the mark.


2) That is all poe is about. We can freeze, proc COF, cast some fire spell, freeze again etc. We can combo it with frost wall.
There's a build that uses ball lightning and cast conduit. Somehow they shock and freeze everything and also use lightning warp to blink to the ball lightning. But they use Cast On Shock and Cast on Freeze. Now the build is totally dead, even before we had the chance to perfect it. Bare in mind, it had bad defenses and only cleared up until tier 3 maps.

I am PRETTY sure, that trigger gems were supposed as support damage source, but not as main one, as they are in POE1.

At least for attacks on Monk they were a supplementary source of damage. It was honestly way stronger to just invest into boosting your attacks and use a Herald for clear instead of adding a Cast on Crit setup which requires A LOT of intelligence and Spirit.

Now it's just useless. The energy ascendancy on Monk? Useless. All the Trigger passives on the tree on the Monk side? Useless. Elemental Expression was already bad, but now they killed CoC entirely even though Invoker was supposed to be partially a CoC ascendancy.

We missed one!

Off... glad you catched that. Wouldn't want any viable option to be left.
