"

Have you tried pressing anything other than one button?


Flash nades, Poison ones, etc...

Oh yeah don't worry i did... I was one of the foul that pushed nades build to T15+ map, and despiste the fact that it was pretty ok for leveling and endgame start, it was definitely not sustainable on the very endgame

No wonder why most players ended up playing attribute stacking

Zero MTX again
now this, is epic
Now we gaming. World of warcraft is here
I was expecting nerfs, of course, but what you did in this patch, just turned the game into a totally unplayable piece of code. I absolutely support nerfs that broke the balance, such as ice walls, or huge mana stacks, but at the same time I don’t understand why it was necessary to destroy them so much. Thanks for cooling my desire to play this, I’ll better wait for the new event in POE1, and spend the weekend playing something else.
I'm actually in a state of apathy right now about everything PoE2. I think I've lost most of my belief that I had left, I'm entering a phase of acceptance I guess. Acceptance that the sequel is not for people who like to have fun in their games.

No UP of the armour ?

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.


This. A 1000% this. Just a travesty, the patch notes are basically "We haven't fixed any problems with the things that didn't work, we just killed what worked before". Very sad :((


dont forget they said
"Many Skills have had their base damage and/or damage growth per level rebalanced. Most of these changes are not specifically mentioned below as the changes are too widespread"

so it could(and will) be more nerfs
also spark went from 18 to 9 proj and have 20% reduced proj speed so its not small nerf to the skill
GEM INFO IS STILL NOT OUT???????????????????????????

WHAT IS THE POINT OF THESE PATCH NOTES IF WE DON'T KNOW THE GEM VALUES
"buff grenades"

- Buff Grenades (Buff-Grenades)
