Cast on Crit needs to go

They need to nerf anything that allows one tap clearings including bosses. So yea meaningful combat means to split blood until you earn the victory.

+1 (nerf them all)

Cast on crit was heavily nerfed with how leech is now working. You wont be seeing it like it was with BM comet anymore as you cant sustain the cost


If you watch people using CoC comet, they way they currently are, youll see their life bar going absolutely crazy up and down in single frames, with insta leech and recovery.

Thats not going to be a thing anymore.


Only 1 max hit leech will be used now. And insta leech is seeing a MASSIVE nerf as well.

Why the hell are ppl always talking about this "meaningful combat" delusion?
Path of Exile is an "isometric-like" ARPG and not some Souls-like or other hand-to-hand combat game. Meaningful combat is an illusion, no matter what GGG wants you to believe.

Take the "Souls" games for example, can you over come every single challenge/enemy with pure skill? Like... naked character... level 1... not getting hit a single time or whatever? Yes.
Can you do something even remotely comparable in PoE? No.

Can the "biggest noob in gaming history" beat the "hardest" Dark Souls boss as long as you give him the best "build" (items, lvl)?
Probably not because you still need hands.

Can the "biggest noob in gaming history" beat the "hardest" PoE boss as long as you give him the best "build" (like mirror tier shit and stuff)?
Probably yes because you can even create "afk builds" who can deal with the most broken encounters.

The game doesn't work fundamentally with the "meaningful mechanics" premise in mind.

To me, it sounds like ppl complaining about the lack of "meaningful combat" don't want OTHERS to one-shot the game, for whatever reason, and not because it's something the game can realistically achieve.
I could guess WHY... but it doesn't matter.

Well, that escalated quickly.

Me: Please consider working on that GGG.
Zoom Defenders: Loosing their minds.

It's bait. Nobody is losing their mind except him.

You sure it's AlwAyS? I don't think it is.

My original post already said it all. I am highlighting the outlier in here. And the stats I used are far from empty - unlike your words.

Combat balance is obviously healthy for the game.
Your personal preference of game-play type might be or might not be.

You guys have literally nothing on me and yet you keep going.

Generally speaking (because of exceptions) games are fundamentally not "hard" (difficult)... because they are... GAMES.
There are games or even genres you can choose to put up more of a challenge, but even most of them are not difficult. You know what is? Life.
And that's why the vast majority of gamers (including this community) prefer having fun instead of making the game unnecessary annoying.

And on top, why the hell are you asking for "meaningful combat"?
Just play a Quin-build and there - you got your meaningful combat without the need of changing the game.
But you wont do that... because it never was about the "meaningful combat" in the first place, it's about YOU being envious and mad about ppl playing the game in a way you can't. The end.

Ok, so we just like different stuff in games.

Why is that so hard to agree to disagree man?
I get it, you were playing poe1 and you think ARPG needs to be like that.
Then GGG came and said stuff you dislike - which was the stuff that brought people like me.

There is no base for generalization of the players in regards to which side the majority is on, as we cannot measure that.

I can give my feedback.
You can give yours.

I won't come to your topic and call you out for saying that you like faster and easier games. It's fine.

Thanks!

Ps. "meaningful combat" lives rent free in your head. I haven't mentioned it once.
Also - i dont know who Quin is, i don't watch content creators. I make my own builds.
What am i envious of?

He said it as it is, thumbs up to him.

You have a very flawed perception of games btw, you probably play just PoE, I assume? Do you have any idea how challenging PvP games only are, for example? Lots of people love those. Just look at the top of the list on Steam.

You might want to refer to the latest interview Jonathan and Mark had with Ghazzy and DM as to why playing a shit build on purpose doesn't provide you with meaningful combat in the current state of the game. You might be shocked to find out it's a bit more complicated then that.
