Thanks for the crafting nerf that no one asked for and will probably make essences and overall player enjoyability of the game shit

Crafting change and Primal Strikes change.... What are we doing here?

Crafting nerf-if it applies to essences-is a huge casual player nerf. For hideout warriors, whatever. Essences are not a problem, hot take, but whittlings are overpowered. As long as you have currency, everything is fully deterministic. We are abusing whittling because people are afraid to use expensive omens. If you really wanna nerf craft - Whittling modifier should be crafted not essences

1xone greater essence
1xone perfect essence ---------------------- fine for casuals. fine to experiment with different builds. But just one is pure RNG gambling. This results in casuals just buy 1 divine items. Then hitting Tier-10 maps and say: I don't like this. Semi-casual will not be interested in essences or essence farming. So back to patch 0.1 Seems unreasonable. In addition, there are no synthesized items from ritual like Poe1 Mirage league offered. The result is less build diversity, less experiments with different builds since your weapon changes/upgrades are locked now for people who do not play everyday. Your Loot-Expectation vs. reality Fact 1: Your whisps do not drop loot that does not have accuracy (weapon) or mana (staffs). It does not compensate. Fact 2: Boss loot empowered drops Tier-3 and Tier-4 and one Tier-5 with accuracy and mana on staffs. It does not compensate. Reconsider. Last edited by Joe_Black#7188 on May 25, 2026, 2:57:35 AM

Crafting change on new added patchnotes is not that bad for armour/jewelry pieces since there isnt many perfect essencess for them (mainly few for body armour and perfect essence of enchantment for amulets), but for weapons that change is going to be crazy.

" Play mage, u dont need more than 1 essence | |
|
Love how they waited for the crafting change for after all the interviews cause damn thats brutal. Does that mean its still going to take a random modifier from your item? Thats some shit for sure. Essence basically dead like emotions after 1 week.

" Which 1 essence you are referring to? Mage is hitting Mana or Mana hybrid with >65% on all prefix. This requires a lot of crafting to not hit those low dmg staffs. So your solution can live with 1 essence. Please elaborate. |

The league will be long. Keep it up, GGG.
