Damn so true when you know a little GGG patchs.

Happy or not with the changes, thanks for posting these MASSIVE patch notes.
This is what makes GGG different.

yeah sorry fuck this, i played 4 builds and 3 of em are now unusable!

Back to PoE1 i go...

Thanks for Phrecia. Could you please extend it untill 3.26 start?

It absolutely doesn't make you want to go back there.

Good patch. Hoping it stays that way when we see the skill value changes.

so melee is still absolutely fucking boring and downgrade from poe1. good to know.

No life and armour changes? No life on tree, armour still sucks with no fortify, and no endurance charges' reduced damage taken. Just another day as a melee life-based build!

dude melee is one of the few builds that they actually buffed, read the patch notes

Patch notes looks grim. We will see the actual station at launch. But in my humble opinion their "vision" for the game doesn't match what the players want from them. Maybe creating the expectation of a faster game by letting these builds go wild so long was partly GGG's fault? What now if people come up new fast builds? Will you let them play again or nerf mid league now. But then again if people really in search of faster builds always, doesn't it make you think they want to play fast?

There is a lot more to talk about beside balance changes, which in my opinion GGG should have been focused on more, like endgame maps being huge half empty, maze wannabe, no-fun content. If they were to start with fixing them, I believe these kind of nerf would have less impact.

I understand people have different definitions of fun when it comes to playing games. But I don't get why they are attacking each other in here.(and honestly why GGG allowing such behaviors in forum beyond me)
