*Arc now does a lightning explosion when it hits a shocked enemy but can no longer shock. It does not consume the shock.*

This one worries me. Arc is the only lightning skill I liked and used it with chain support as a spammable. With Arc no longer able to shock , cast on shock becomes unusable and I'll never see the explosion as the targets will never be shocked.

None of the other lightning skills I tried feel worth using. I didn't like sparks before they nerfed it much less after. It just seems to throw random particles around. Sometimes they hit things, sometimes they don't, not fun to use.

Orb of storms requires you stand in it. You are made of paper and are constantly chased by npcs that run 5x faster than you. Meaning you are dodge rolling and kiting , making standing still impossible. So not fun to use. It would be better if it just attached to you. Mana tempest has the same problem.

Ball lightning does awful damage. The high shock chance looks good until you understand that ailments are applied by how much damage you do. So basically this doesn't have any better chance to shock than other skills do. Around the same shock chance just with a lot less damage done.

I really wish you'd just put that change on a unique rather than change the skill.

In video games, "exploiting" refers to players intentionally using bugs, glitches, or unintended game mechanics to gain an unfair advantage or bypass intended gameplay, which is generally considered cheating by the gaming community.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Definition:
Exploiting involves taking advantage of flaws or unintended features in a game to achieve outcomes or actions that were not intended by the developers.
Examples:
Using a bug to duplicate items or gain unlimited resources.
Using a glitch to teleport to inaccessible areas or become invincible.
Manipulating game mechanics in an unintended way to make the game easier or gain an advantage.
Why it's considered cheating:
Exploits undermine the fairness and balance of the game, potentially ruining the experience for other players and diminishing the challenge for the exploiter.
Contrast with "glitches":
While "glitches" are often used to describe bugs or unexpected occurrences in a game, "exploiting" specifically refers to the intentional use of those glitches or bugs to gain an advantage.

Ai still has it's head on straight at least. Yall need to get a grip. Unban them already. Shit is pretty disgusting. Just sweep it under the rug and call it a day.

You walk into a Casino and find a way to rig a slots machine so that you get a discount each time you play. Somebody watches you do this and proceeds to do the same on another machine.
You get caught.
Did you cheat?

No its more like the powerball put the winning numbers listed at the cash register. Then we arrested everyone who used them and ignore the fact powerball was the one who was the dumbass.

The only feedback that is being dismissed is from players who are screaming about the game not being PoE1. Of course that'll be dismissed.

If you have helpful feedback that aligns with GGG's intent for the game then they are listening, and acting way quicker than I expected. But many people on reddit and other places are not giving feedback, they're raging like babies about the game not being what they personally want.
