GGG are u plan to fix MEGA abuse with mercs + Doryani's exploits?

just wonder why its even thing still so long...


when fix?

There likely won't be a fix. Nerfing stuff mid league always causes outrage and while this is powerful, it's likely not a bug. It's just like with explody totems. The mechanic is stronger than intended (maybe), but it's not an exploit/bug so it's likely going to stay.

While it may not be a bug, it does seem like some kind of "mechanical miss". Mercs being able to just run around with -200% lightning resist like it's nothing is probably not intended. And if it's not intended, it does absolutely fall under the "exploit" category.

While I'm not really a fan of mid-league nerfs, it's always sad to see one strategy being more than twice as good as the next best strategy. Go lightning or miss out on more than twice the damage isn't healthy for the league, that's for sure.

But hey, I'm able to have fun no matter what the pros are playing.

they won't fix it or they'd have done it already

so sigh and get ready for an entire league where every build rock you turn over has doryanis merc underneath it.

Still, nobody forcing us to play with it ima just ignore it and have fun with other item setups. Straight powers kinda boring anyway

You say that, but there is only 2 lightning skills in the top 10 of POE Ninja right now. One in the top 5. If the meta is always right, and you are one of those who believe POE ninja is the meta aren't you, then that means you are wrong here. Lightning isn't particularly powerful at the moment. So maybe that "exploit" isn't that big of a deal to begin with? Explody totems were far more common and even they weren't fixed. VFoS is a fire skill and it's clearly the best skill ever to exist given it's outragous power proven by POE ninja statistics. If anything there can be no doubt that doryani mercs are way too weak.

Snaking become popular because of katabasis and LS nerf, combined with fubgun and other streamer using it. Its not an exceptional skill, its a just simply a good slam skill. Last league however, Snaking was way way more powerful than right now because of the Mace enchant gain additional random elemental damage, but because of muh LS and katabasis, it wasn't that popular.

Snaking and other slam skills are just solid good melee / slam skills, they aren't way too strong or way too weak, its just they often overlooked by other melee skills because slam builds requires manual warcires piano for optimal damage.

Also, f all of these sheeps that playing slam, they make warcaller tattoo to be stupidly expensive.

Sorry man, i guess you don't know the context so you missed it but that entire post was an exercise in sarcasm poking at certain people here who think that the highest usage skill on POE ninja is also the best and most powerful skill there is in the game no questions asked.
