poe2 blood mage

Hi guys, I’m a new player to PoE. I started with PoE2, and right now I have about 1300 hours in the game and 350 hours in PoE1.

I have to say, PoE2 is definitely the game for me as a new player. But after 1300 hours, I’ve noticed that there is one class/ascendancy that performs much better than all the others by a huge margin—and that class is the Blood Mage.

It doesn’t matter what I build within that ascendancy (melee, mage, or archer), it just performs better than all the other classes.

So my question is: should GGG focus on balancing all classes/ascendancies, or just nerf the Blood Mage? Because in my opinion, it’s simply too strong for the endgame.

IMO they should buff other ascendanices to blood mages level then introduce harder pinnacle content that we can't one shot
Yes, sounds good. Balancing other classes might be better than always nerfing content or other builds.
