POE2 is "Path Of Blood Mage"
|
after see the patch 0.5 note, I can guarantee you Blood Mage is still the strongest.
Blood Mage is the only one who has 15% base spell crit chance and "leech from spell" I'm tired of playing Blood Mage, but I have to play it again can we nerf blood mage to death for only 1 season? give other acendencies a chance, also let GGG collect more acendency data.

Leech is capped at single stack and its capped at 40k damage.
Previosuly leech wasn't capped, you could get many leech instances at once and recover insane amount of life per second. Now it's gone. So assuming you hit for 40k and have that 20% Leech from BM ascendancy, you leech 8k life/s as base, before leech resistance. Leech resistance could be as high as 90%, meaning you would leech just 800 life/s, which is still decent, but its literally nothing compare to how leech previously worked. Will be funny to see how many people will be baited to play BM to find out how much worse leech is specifically on BM :D Edit: also, maybe try to play something besides meta crap? You know, tons of builds exist, maybe they not as strong or fast as most meta broken build, but for me personally i'd rather play something interesting or something i havent played. Literally just try new builds, its more fun than treating this game like a job by playing most meta build because it makes most div/h. www.youtube.com/@PaintMasterPoE mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/paintmaster Last edited by PaintMaster#2396 on May 22, 2026, 10:59:57 AM

BM is still gonna dominate hard. Leech doesnt matter when you have Life Remnants and 15% base crit on every spell. Oracle is second best for the Crit chance boosting alone. Cast on Crit might be a rootcause here. Combat Balance > Feelings

don't worry bro just wait a week for the meta to shift on poe ninja, you'll have a new build to play soon

" One of the monster changes in the patch notes is making leech resistance lower and also the same at each level for white mobs and bosses. Last edited by SaiyanZ#3112 on May 23, 2026, 12:50:29 AM

You could look for the problem deeper. Classes with best crit nodes become meta because (like so many things) crit calculation in poe is archaic. Being a separate damage multiplier you can scale to high heavens. D3 had such OP crits, and the entire game revolved around them. NOT dealing a crit was an anomaly.
D4 moved away from it since patch 1.2, and made crit an additive damage bonus (increased damage in poe terms). GGG should've long done the same. Too many "more damage" modifiers is the reason why poe damage scaling is so mad. |

+1. Always prevail Mages...

How about making other classes good instead of nerfing strong ones
