Yes, that’s what reading comprehension means: you read the text but don’t understand its meaning. Sadly, reading skills are generally declining nowadays, but keep in mind that they can be improved.

I specifically said I was okay with a damage nerf, so your claim that my only problem is Havoc 'not being OP' is clearly false.

I explained in detail how engaging and interesting Hexblast was because of its unique interactions with hexes, resistances, and ailments. I loved the build primarily for those mechanics, the damage was just a bonus. That's why even with a significant damage nerf, I would still play the build.

But Havoc doesn’t have any of those interactions. It’s just a simple hit, bland and boring.

I honestly can't make it clearer than that.

Hexblast "resistance interaction" is just more damage. Havoc still needs Hexes, just like normal Hexblast. Stop finding excuses. I know that. You know that. Everyone knows that. You would be fine with "just damage nerf" becuase if the skill can reach 3 bilion DPS, even 50% nerf like with LS wouldnt change anything. You would be fine "with just damage nerf" because you wouldnt need to think of new way to make the same build, you could just copy paste your old one. You are not fine with playing Havoc because it would require you to actually think for once and modify your build according to this slightly diffrent skill.

But dont worry. You can just grab any other mine build that people are making for 3.26 and delete everything the same, just with diffrent color now.

This was my build from the Necro Settlers league: I made a 'Hexblast of Contradiction' build. As far as I'm aware, I'm the only one who did, since it was significantly worse than the base skill and even HAVOC (it used the highest resistance instead of the lowest). But that’s exactly what I enjoy in the game: solving unusual problems with the infinite tech Path of Exile offers.

So, by your own admission, I was already playing the 'nerfed' version compared to HAVOC and was okay with even more nerfs. My only issue is that this unique skill interaction can no longer be utilized at all and that’s a shame. I know it, you know it.

That's why you shouldn't think twice about nerfs. New league, new problems to solve.

You're right, but I would have preferred to at least have the option to play that build, even if I ended up deciding not to.

Regardless, that’s what’s going to happen. I just think balancing shouldn’t mean removing builds from the available pool, but obviously, some people disagree.

Oh no, your build was nuked!
Even your most favorite one? Tragic. But let me guess, it’s only been your favorite 'cause it was the easy meta train.
Tragic. Now you actually have to think instead of reaching for your instant, brain-off, autopilot carry, or wait till the next one gets shared around.
Simple case of deal with it. GGG changes what they want, and no amount of tears is bringing it back.
