" Direfell#7544 wrote: I'm fine with grim feast being gone. Really missing shock siphon though. Convalescence seems dumb. Not saying its bad. But using an entire skill slot for an ES flask with a spirit cost and 30s cool down? I just don't want that in my playstyle but there's hardly any options now. Eternal Youth also exists though, so that's not really an argument. ES has insane recovery options with just those two things. ES is still the best effective HP in the game for any character not stacking strength (so literally only Warrior HP is good on) Last edited by AverBeg7#1689 on Apr 16, 2025, 5:51:16 PM	Posted by AverBeg7#1689 on Apr 16, 2025, 5:49:53 PM Quote this Post

Literally everyone was using it, was better than any other recovery or defense even if you had a very small amount of ES Ok sure but they didn't replace it with anything and now everyone is running around with 2000 health, getting slapped to shit. Even if you go all out on Strength and max life on your gear you might get 3000 or so health. You can't take any good energy shield nodes if you don't start from sorceress position so ES is basically a non-option without grim feast and the other defenses suck. Low priority to fix the 3 main defenses in the game though, i get it	Posted by Glowie_Zigger#5018 on Apr 16, 2025, 5:51:08 PM Quote this Post

Seems like that's pretty intended and fine though.	Posted by AverBeg7#1689 on Apr 16, 2025, 5:53:16 PM Quote this Post

I don't really get why as the only thing needed to fix it was to have it not add any energy shield above the maximum. Not rocket science. This would put it basically in the same realm as jewels that give 2% of life on kill That is not the only thing they needed to change. Grim feasts main problem is that it negates the biggest weakness of energy shield, which is sustain. Bonus ES was just the cherry on top.

I play a low-life build, if my life flask is recovering ES than bleed/poison will kill me if applied. So there's 2 options, 1 makes me dead and the other takes too much space to fit into my build.

Grim feast completely destroyed any need to build anything to make ES work. Last edited by Kashou#2868 on Apr 16, 2025, 5:55:25 PM	Posted by Kashou#2868 on Apr 16, 2025, 5:54:03 PM Quote this Post

The game needs a lot of buffs but the answer is not broken grim feast.	Posted by StrykerxS77x#8221 on Apr 16, 2025, 5:57:24 PM Quote this Post

So there's 2 options, 1 makes me dead and the other takes too much space to fit into my build. I don't think I've been applied with bleed by anything except things that say "always bleed", pretty sure poison (chaos) just does double damage to ES, doesn't bypass it? There must be a way to fit one of them in. Ventors, spirit on chest, amulet, drop one skill you don't use often, idk. It's your build you will work it out. Hardly seems like a lack of Grim Feast issue.	Posted by AverBeg7#1689 on Apr 16, 2025, 5:59:05 PM Quote this Post
