Just when I thought you guys couldn’t mess up

Did you guys just really make an ingenuity class?

Is this an April fools joke?

Ingenuity is already mandatory to play the end game. Now you are giving it its own class…

Wow you all do understand DIVERSITY is the defining characteristic right?

Ingenuity is getting a nerf. Most likely number i have seen is 50% increased effect max.

I have also seen things about the new ring slot counting as a amulet in the game code so you cant abuse things like ingenuity or kalandras touch.

That doesn’t make it better lmfao. It makes it worse.

The nerf to ingenuity is fine, gladly take it so I can stop listening to people call me mentally challenged for using a rare belt with corrupt 24% lightning res 33% 27% chaos res cold res 44% fire res 160 armour 130 mana 35% mana recovery belt.

Offering people a build they will expect the 3rd ring to be a ring for the now nerfed ingenuity lovers, and it turns out to be counted as an amulet?

Why don’t you just walk your own game off the pier.

I dont understand what you're upset about.

You say ingenuity is mandatory and now has its own class, which feels fairly true if just looking at current ingenuity and the previewed ascendancy. This is bad, yes. That's why ingenuity is expected to be changed.

But changing ingenuity somehow makes the issue worse?

Im not trying to argue but it's really not clear what you're trying to say.

How many people saw the new ascendancy with a 3rd ring and started planning out builds for a 3 ring ingenuity build?

If they mark the 3rd ring as a second amulet in the code it won’t scale with ingenuity.

They are making the builds seem more fun than they will ever be in the written form.

Same applies with chorus of the storm jade minions. On paper it looks like a build you would enjoy until you find out minions can’t inherit lightning bolt skill.

Not sure what’s hard to understand, they are selling you boats with holes in them. If you want a boat without a hole in it just copy pasta the influencers and pay premium for every piece of gear.

We dont know if it is marked as an amulet slot that is speculation until testing is done.

You are upset about everything, Ingenuity is broken so its getting nerfed at the same time they add a class that has an extra ring slot so now you want ingenuity to stay broken. but if they make the ring slot a amulet which cant benefit from ingeunity then thats bullshit. I just dont know what you even want.

Yes they have skills that play off eachother but when people read something and it "sounds great on paper" thats just player speculation, you cant get mad at the devs for not coding something into the game that the player thought would work like that. The devs arent sitting there and going " your minions will be able to shoot lighting bolts" you are reading it and assuming they would be able to.

You list off your res belt after saying Ingenuity is mandatory lol. They are adding 100 uniques and you have not seen the patch notes of balance changes yet. Maybe don't jump to conclusions

So you set your own expectations for combining 1 mechanic with 1 specific belt based on speculation and are concerned if they will be met or not?

I don't think that's on ggg.

No I set my expectations on the fact it literally says “you have a third ring slot”

How are people Clock riding GGG this hard?

Game doesn’t even have PvP. [Removed by Support]

The overriding complaint is "Why would Grinding Gear make a class which makes this one item I don't like because I think it's overpowered even more overpowered?"

The answer is "because items come and items go, but fun ideas are fun."

Believe it or not, many people manage to play the game just fine without a triple-digit divine cost belt. The Ritualist having a third ring slot allows for interesting gameplay decisions and combinations, and those are fun. Does it make people who have already trivialized the game better able to do so? Yes. Nobody cares. Folks who have a thousand divines' worth of gear by day 3 will trivialize the game no matter what. Nobody should care about them.
