The nerfs had me like
Comments
how did you not expect this?
They're rebalancing the entire game the fuck did you expect.
ngl this patch doesn't even phase me at all after playing poe1 for years
this is all kind of what i expected
patch notes usually feel nerf heavy and then we get new content that almost always pushes the average build power level up, not down
Really only thing that I hate are the minion nerfs. They were good but not great pre 0.2.0...I could play most all content but not killing anything very quickly. Now I will have way less spirit,less damage mitigation, less minion skills on all gear pieces basically, trenchtimbre is worse now and minion skills being the only way to really scale minion damage.
I expected a bunch of nerfs but the minion ones feel odd.
And the craziest shit is that was probably the least nerfed class other than deadeye probably
I don't care about nerfs to damage/dps that much. I care about:
- GGG enforcing combos (I don't want to be forced to use combos, plz leave me alone)
- Added tedium (+50% curse activation delay? Really?)
This is honestly exactly what they announced. So not really a surprise.
Yeah this is kind of ridiculous, but it's better to start at the bottom and work your way up then to have a baseline that's too high.
The game was too easy and people complaining about nerfs?
Its early access. Who fucking cares dude.
Why? The game was wildly imbalanced. Items were so lopsided that they were the only option if you could afford them.
There was nothing better than HOWA or Ingenuity. What possible upgrade could one realistically pick off the ground?
And all this is ignoring the fact that we are in Early Access.
Stupid sentiments and notins allowed in this sub.
idk this patch seems pretty reasonable
They also nerfed a lot of the enemies so chill
Hey Iām alive and well. I expected a lot from a lot of you. What a let down.Ā
Every patch / league has people upset about nerfs and gutting of skill interactions.
Yet every league / patch I see top streamer / players absolutely destroying every bit of hard / overtuned content in the game, with ease.
EVERY SINGLE TIME.
Also, everyone was destroying uber bosses- like - eliminating from existence levels of destroying.
Things HAD to be gutted to bring the game back based on how it plays now.
These patch notes don't include damage numbers AND we don't have all the new supports. It's safe to say some form of new abuse WILL be found.
Are you upset you can't just run the same exact builds for another three months?? What's the point??
This is early access. Stop complaining about nerfs.
Welcome to Poe dude.
There are a lot of nerfs as usual but everything will be fine as usual.
How else do they get you off your insane archmage/monk builds (1 shotting difficulty 4 pinnacle bosses) to try the new huntress and actually test the early access game?
All the big builds are nerfed considerably - archmage was dragged out back, shot, salted and pissed on.
It is time to try new things. This happens every POE1 patch - within 3 days(or hours) of release there will be a new king and all this repeats.
I like that they nerf now
