The Presence radius nerf feels like a 2nd circumcision... Please undo it!

Devs Passive points are limited and spending 6-8 points in tree it reduces dps more after the nerfs you've done in dps. Therefore spending 6-8 passive points to raise from 4m to 6-7m is not a significant progress especially in all ranged class that hit from 7-13m away.

Deepest tower is also nerfed in Presence 50% and that makes the specific build with ranged attack class useless. In the first video you've posted there was no Presence reduction. Why changed your mind?? It is literally a punishment and not a team work that fixes balance of game.

Please give a little boost to radius.

I agree. A huge visual circle it will help us a lot. Maybe a button for toggling on/off. After nerfs to radius it is very difficult to play. Only Warrior class didn;t affected.

I think is more important than ever having circle boarders of presence radius. Devs need to bring new ideas to help us. Until now they only destroying things.

"Presence" does seem like a really weak keyword. I was excited by it at first, I thought it would be the size of your screen. When I realised how far it was exactly, I decided to never use it. That was in 0.1 before they nerfed it.

Dissapointment in all meaning. Same as me. When i saw the deepest tower with extra nerfing couldn't believe in my eyes. In first version promoted by Devs, hadn't add it more Presence reduction. Why they changed their mind remains mastery with a big WHY!

No seriously though... Presence AoE on scepters is now just as functionally mandatory as movement speed on boots. It's awful.

Also, my crossbow tactician can't even charge up banner valour because the bosses aren't close enough. Why do I need to be in melee range for aura skills?!

Challenge my man! Challenge! And the vision!

You can easily get jewels with increase aura radius. And please do not bring genital mutilation into this.

I was ok with the range of Presence in 0.1. It was workable.

You ask why they nerfed it? Anything that remotely is good UX and/or convenience for players seems too much of a "gift". If it makes things easier, it's not good for the "Design". My particular discontent is when they took shocked ground from Teleporting to Ball Lightning. IDKY they went that far. It's not particularly OP and it had high risk to reward since the character leaps into the fray of monsters.

But it was also FUN to zip around the map randomly using Wildshards and other mechanics that multiplied projectiles.

I guess the "vision" for this game is to balance "fun" with 'punishment". Fun, punishment, and trade are the 3 pillars of PoE. Apparently it can't be designed to be fun and challenging without the punishment. It just has be in there. And trade too.

If they want challenge mode, then is better to loose everything in death and return in level 1. Reality is the best challenge of all challenges.

Take it with love...

What if +light radius also gave +presence radius?

Make light radius meta.

I want to make myself incandescent.

That would be nice to have mana regen presence aoe hybrid mods on gear actually. It wouldn't fix the abysmal starting radius, but it would be a nice seperate change.

First you need to find good jewels with significant big presence radius modifier.

But these jewels are max 3 sockets so basically can't spend all of them to presence.

Maybe Devs can change some useless passives in mercenery tree and replace them with presence radius points.

One of them is Adrenaline rush that gives boost to speed if you died recently. Completely useless. For 4 sec doesn't worth investing on it.l
