Content Update 0.2.0 -- Path of Exile 2: Dawn of the Hunt

Did you guys literly just nerf every existing viable build into the ground and not adjust all the other, totally useless, skills up? Are you mad or something?
If this releases this way you will not have just shot yourselves in the foot, it will be years to turn around what this does. By then, no one will care. I seriously suggest revisiting the nerfs before friday as you need to turn around the negative perspective players have already, not reinforce it. Bring the massively underperforming skills up to spark, then figure out where they should all be not make the few viable suck like the rest and then turn them all up.

AHAHAHAHA!~ BOOM
Have fun play testing this one suckers!
You know what you signed up for

1.0 is going to be huge xdd

they forget to fix the Trampletoe Boots with the Shield Wall skill, where you can generate "infinite rage" and scale HotG to almost 700k damage tooltip and delete any pinnacle boss with more than 60m DPS??
holy

i really dont understand why grenades were nerfed and had longer detonate times added, this wasn't even a very strong build lol. Makes 0 sense. I was starting to re download the game, bc the endgame was so boring so far. But ill just wait another couple more months.

good patch for sure. will make things interesting

Well none of the teasers, the reveal, or the Q&As had anything that made me want to play again. Still held hope for something in the patch notes to be positive...but NOPE!

So glad you buffed a couple boss abilities. Was very frustrating to not get one-shot by a few of them.

I was fully expecting nerfs, especially to particular builds. But I mean...you guys really went all out. I'm sure there will still be a couple OP builds, but now it'll be a higher majority of the players copy/playing them. I also imagine the player count will be even lower than predicted by many folks.

Guess I'll check back in 4 months for the notes on the next major update.

Well at least I now know I won't waste my time and will instead focus solely on Last Epoch.

So conclusion are :

- Storm Weaver Spark Mana Stack : COOKED !
- Gembling Attributes : COOKED !
- DELA Ranger : COOKED !

===> BUT : Witch Minion Summoner BUFFED !

Looking forward to these changes GGG, lots of healthy nerfs and an actual endgame now.

I can't wait to see what people are going to break with the all the new content. Some of y'all are too pessimistic, look at all the new toys we get to play with...

Things are gonna change in EA, and this certainly won't be the last time either. Have some fun with it! <3

Sure am glad I took advantage of the last Steam sale.

Got a half dozen games to tide me over until the next content patch.

Hopefully things improve by then.

I knew some things in my favorite build were going to get nerfed.

But they literally removed a major defensive skill (GF) instead of just reducing the amount of overflow it provided.

Nerfed pretty much every spirit skill I used.

Was going to just go with DELA Ranger as league started but they apparently also killed its bossing capability.

Disappointed is an understatement.

Grim Feast was broken. If you're quitting because of it then you were using it as a crutch. Anyway good patch can't wait to try it. Hope we keep getting major changed throughout the EA.

Which is why I said they could have just reduced the overflow aspect, or even completely removed the overflow aspect. At least I would have been able to recoup some ES while in combat.

And it's not just the GF deletion, it's a ton of other things.
