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

"

New Ritualist ascendancy passive Mind Phylacteries reads
"Can instead consume 25% of maximum mana to trigger Charms with insufficient charges"

Old passive tree notable Blood Magic reads
"Remove all Mana. Skill Mana costs converted to Life costs"

How those passives will work together? Will I get free triggers of Charms?

I will reply as a "Dad gamer", this is early access i was playing with my build on mercenary, then i watched some videos on Youtube other classes like ranger and stormweaver, it kinda destroyed my gameplay feeling. Like what the hell im doing wrong. I'm very happy seing all the nerfs that came. I will start my journey very fresh with my friend that never even came to the end game in POE, being happy that i can rediscover game and changes that Dev's made for US. Very good job !

I don't get why people cry so hard on these nerfs. Aren't You excited to rediscover the best game that came in a decade or so ? You will find some broken build's guys. I know it, You know it.

So basically, everything is nerfed to oblivion.

Lat's say you want to play Manastacking Spark Stormweaver:
1. Spark skill is now destroyed,
2. Stormweaver ascendancy ruined,
3. Archmage completely destroyed,
4. Dream Fragments Ring nerfed to 10% max mana instead of 20%,
5. All max mana nodes from Passive Tree nodes, ascendancy small nodes, Jewels, Time-Lost Jewels, Uniques, etc. were heavily nerfed,
6. Eldrich Battery which enables you to play a manastacking build, has been nerfed to oblivion (doubles mana cost of skills, when mana is your only eHP)
7. In case you wanted to use Everlasting Gaze amulet to have ES also, it was utterly destroyed too,
8. Lightning exposure nerfed,
9. Conductivity curse nerfed,
10. Curse activation time nerfed,
11. Let's not forget about the biggest nerf to all players, double chance to be affected by elemental aliments,
12. Want to convert lightning damage to cold, freeze needs 48% more build-up than before,
13. Cast on Shock procs only half as before,
14. You cannot use 2 Blinks, because now they share cooldown (I totally support this nerf),
15. "12 jewel sockets were removed from the passive tree" (I think is good for the game, but still a nerf to most builds).

The only things that were not nerfed for this former build, were the support gems.

It was one of the best build previously, but nerfing Archmage (which was OP), a small nerf to Spark and nerfing Dream Fragments would've been more than enough to cripple the build, while still being playable, instead of killing it completely.

On top of this they nerfed my favourite encounter, Breach, pretty heavy too.

And this was just an example, at least 15 good builds have been completely destroyed and not only them but also at least 50 ideas of meme builds are no longer doable now, with these changes.

I guess Phys damage Warrior is a real option now, since it was the only one just slightly nerfed overall.
