Bring Jewel Sockets back to the Passive Tree

Jewels have become completely useless. Due to the reduction in sockets in my build, I can only use 2-3 jewels. What are the 6 types of unique jewels for if they can't be used?

+1.
Terrible job on the atlas tree, it was much much better before 0.2 patch.

Why have fun at all when tedium is plentiful, amirite?

Even at endgame, caster builds are under fuelled and skill tree is not bringing returns on their skill points investment.
The only class that can escape to that at the moment is the Blood mage and her ability to get critical chance with her ascendency tree.

Without those sockets and not playing typical critical build type, the end game remains tedious.

Pinnacle boss, protected by a chrono timer gate and spam mechanics as fight design, show the weak skill tree and builds problem that come out.

You are casters, not a blood mage and want to fight for example Xesht (unlucky)?

Leave alone your build that has carried you on the top of the endgame, and forcibly opt-in for critical hit chance points and critical damage points and of course a spear and whirling slash, it would do the job.

The meta is just the other way to compensate the weakness of the skill tree which has been nerfed during these past 6 months for casters. Lich underpowered, Stormweaver nerfed too the ground, blood mage okay for melee builds or anything that benefit of critical points investment.

GGG please, unleash the game play, unleash the skill tree, stop to hinder playstyle, allow us the fun and a true game rewarding. Because at the moment and during those past 6 months ago, it is not the feeling I got.

All the good for the upcoming 0.3.0, I hope so

+1 they completely ruined the game with 0.2 instead of neving the classes to the ridiculous extreme to make them useless, it would have been nice to leave things the way they where and release all the new content from 0.2 i was so excited from the YouTube videos from the devs about all the new content coming in 0.2 only to see it after release to the point that everyone i know stopped playing including myself. Now even if they put everything the way it was before 0.2 most people in my friends list won't be coming back and i lost so much motivation to play that after the salty feeling it left on me and the frustration i don't know if i'll play half of what i used too. The game is so extreme unrewarding too. Clearly something has to change. 6.3 k active players today. Anyway i still like the game and hope they make good changes for the August season.
What it goes away, never turns backs. There are ton of ways to buff classes and bring balance to skills. Allowing more jewels isn't one of them.

With this skeptical Devs should allow Herald skills to be proc each other again.

THIS IS POE2 RULES. Forget Poe1.
