Spirit Walker Monkey is WAY too strong

As title says. People are insta deleting pinnacle bosses with monkey. This needs to be nerfed asap before the eco gets screwed.

Heard stuff about something for 0.5c would tweak it but yeah.

Don't worry, they heard you. Flicker Strike has been nerfed. Lmao
if monkey was nerfed people would just use a different boss that is just as strong. then what? nerf that too? keep nerfing until there is nothing left?


i dont understand this obsession with nerfs. just let people have fun. nobody wants to do 5 minute pinnacle boss fights

there is a huge difrence between insta kill and 5 minutes :)
Ziz made a video about it so it should be nerfed soon
the monkey was strong any way plus not everyone can get the gear currency to make him op...my skelly archer one shot a zombie should that be nerfed
One monkey outperforms 90% of the builds in game...
What's the point to even play anything else at this moment.
PoE1 nowadays looks more and more like a fan-made fork server with tons of custom weird experimental stuff rather than original game with carefully thought out balance brough live to players.

so what? why do people care if someone else can insta kill bosses? is it a fomo thing? they can make the monkey build too if they have fomo

That's not usually how it works. Once a build is identified as OP, the economy has run away from a large % of people that want to have a build that can actually farm--gear prices jump exponentially given the demand and the fact that these monkey builds have been accumulating wealth since day one.

Softcore trade is as much as an economy game as it is a video game.
