Now, I do not neither the requirement for Grace lvl 19, and Scour don't drop from sky. Grab another +10 node? Do you really think I can lvl up to lvl 87 like that, with no or less Evasion? It was already fucking hard in the past ^^. Except if they do a new patch to correct that, I think it's the end of PoE story for me.

I haven't played since one week (generally I play 8 hours per day) because I was waiting for that patch to solve some problems (lack of maps 70+, some skill lags, desyncs), but it add more problems to me then...

GGG should have a look at how many Shadows are in the top 1000 before destroying that part of the passive tree. When I was rank 981th, I was the 90th Shadow... Shadows are less OP than Marauders in end game! No need to add more difficulties to them.

Lvl 86, plays 8 hours per day, can't afford a scour - seems legit.

And thats why we got an free respec, use it!

Melee nodes around Ranger area looks like not improved.

I need 2 scourings and of course I have them. I just find no reason to downgrade it from lvl 20 to lvl 18 (it was time consuming to lvl up to 20). No reason to loose 2 gem's lvl, 2 scourings and 100 evasion. What was the problem with that +30 Dex? I find more reasons to continue to play other games 8 hours per days as I do since one week (I was waiting that patch for enhances, not to have more problems than in the past).

Just want to say thanks for this patch, I feel you guys have made a great game even better, it's especially all the smaller details that combined also make a big difference, besides all the major balance changes.

I love the healthbars
I love the reduction of the tab map
I love the new es covering much more of the health globe

I definetly love the quality improved crafting, I 6linked my chest in about 8 stacks of armour scraps after having used hundreds of fusings before the patch trying to 5link it, and around 500 jewelers to 6s it.

I go to sleep a happy man

Goodnight

-> cant wait for the new leagues!

You're honestly going to quit playing altogether because one single node on a 1300+ node passive skill tree was changed by 10 dexterity points? Good lord.

Wait, was that rare or white? To make a rare 20% quality you need 20 scraps, 8 stack is 16x20, so you made a 6link in 16 fuses?

Beautiful amazing the game is now how it was meant to be played.

Thank you devs!

A few things I've noticed now that the patch is live.

It would have been awesome to have a list of all the passives that were getting the changed. There was no mention at all that the passive resists while wearing a shield were getting reduced. Changes happen, and I'm not unhappy that it was changed, I'm just unhappy that they were changed and not mentioned, when other passive resist nodes were specifically mentioned.

This is why in my I kept asking if we were going to get an updated tree before patch went live. I now feel like I need to figure out what I'm going to do before I can even play my character. I'm certainly not going to go back to mapping without max resists.

There's one thing that I really can't understand:

Were shields so OP before? Each and every 'tanky' build?

Why are the shield elemental resistances in the NW corner now lowered to 10%?

Diamond Skin nodes were downgraded from 15 to 12.
That's 3% less and they don't require any specific equipment or particular investment since they're pretty easy to reach while gathering other nodes (mainly damage ones, if balance was the issue).

Now generic res nodes are better than build+item specific res nodes.
That alone doesn't sound right.


Having 10% less resistances while using a shield also means that most probably yet another item with resistances is needed.
From an optimization point of view, when sacrificing a stat for another the highest roll
possible is the logical target.

With that in mind, at some point taking at least one of such nodes becomes moot because a good resistance item can cover more than a 10% loss.

I doubt this was the inteded effect at all.


This isn't (just) a rant, I'd like to understand if the problem was the very idea of building a defensive character in the first place and losing that niche is really giving more balance to the game.
