So 70-80% of people aren't 'happy' or not showing positivity about it.

You realise that's not good, right?

No armour buff?
No change for armour apply to other damage type?

poison conc. nice delete build with 1% online

Forgot to mention, I F*CKING LOVE THE HAMMER OF THE GODS CHANGE!

I love the idea of the nerf, it's great. IMO, there are 2 things I'd like to make sure are implemented with the nerf itself:
1. Why not make "Reduce the cooldown of the skill to 0 when you heavy stun the enemy"? I love the Glory thing, but it might be too exploitable like you stack 100-200 Glory on mobs and delete a Boss. I also kinda don't like the fact, that GGG introduced a new tag (Glory) and used it only on this skill. Maybe tie it to Valor (Banners) or something, cause I generally don't like 1 thing that is too narrow and niche, as is the case with Glory now.
2. I have a bunch of concerns about how this Glory thing will work in practice. For example, if you play as a warrior with high single instance damage (which you will, 'cause maces base damage and scaling of the skills) you will basically never stun white and blue monsters 'cause they die before getting a stun. You would actively have to withhold your damage and focus on stan to gain the Glory. It would be fine if you could use Glory in other ways (as stated above). Another concern of mine is that you will be able to gain too little Glory per stunning an enemy you actually want to use HotG on (like bosses). The stagger system right now is kinda unbalanced, so, for example, gaining 5 Glory per stun will result in having HotG every 4 stuns, or basically 1-2 times per boss fight. And sure, you can use increase Stun buildup and Prime for stun thing (which is actually kinda good right now) or even Mayam debuff, but generally speaking, the numbers are just too off right now to make it reliable. It will take quite a bit of time to make the stun mechanic actually good and for now, HotG changes seem like a huge nerf. I guess when we will be getting closer to the 1.0 release, it will be good, but not right now IMO.

This notes are disgusting. If I wanted to play turn based RPGs or Elden Rings I would play those games. This game is being turned into something disgusting. The whole idea of ARPG games is that you look for those BIS items to 1 shot and blast through the content. Yes ! ! ! you must be able to 1 shot literally everything when you invest 10 mirrors into your gear. Literally every single thing that was good was nerfed to NULL. Another huge mistake is that standard also receives new league mech. I am really pissed RN.

you are the very vocal minority. Nerfs are needed. Power creep is awful and ruins the game longterm. Go play D4 if you want unfettered godlike power. Played the most broken builds in the game, and in turn, got bored and uninterested very quickly. GGG realized their intended vision of making combat more meaningful was blown past in mere days into the game. This patch is probably what GGG wanted from the start. 90% don't hate these changes, not even close.

It's incredibly ironic that we as an audience were worried that POE 2 would be a less fun and easier game because they were targeting a new audience. Who would have thought that instead they would not only make the game harder than the first game, but also make the build variability in the game to an all-time low. At this point, many abilities just feel like they'd never be something you'd want to use as a player.

Is the first rule of game design that BUF > NERF really a joke to you?

After all, you are not balancing a MOBA game or a team shooter. This is a PVE game, and it is really weird. I can bet all my money that now as soon as someone finds an imbalanced build - 60% of players will immediately switch to it, if of course there are such players at all.

I will definitely play for 100 new uniques, but... all this looks dubious
