Unique Rebalance for The Awakening

The main thing is, that these items mostly become OP trough a change in the game's balance or mechanics (a well designed and -thought item should never be that failed to need a nerf without a 'second reason') - so we should NEVER ever need their previous state to be viable. And from that point, its just a totally silly decision to have kept them. People will always cry, but while a removal of legacies is just a 'cry once on affect' is keeping them an 'endless (but useless) continous lament'.

Yes, legacy items are mostly OP.
But since PoE is mostly a PvE game, that doesn't matter that much.

For me personally, PoE is a "Lego"-kind game, with items and skills instead of "Lego"-blocks.
I plan some kind of a build and then check out if it works good or not. I don't care much about what do other players do.

But in game overview GGG states, that PoE is a game with competetive PvP and leagues! What a twist!
However, i find legacy items and competetive gameplay to be incompatible for obvious reasons.

Thats why competition in real only takes place in challenge modes, where no legacies exist. The slightly 'dumb' ranking competition in the permanent leagues cant really compete on the same level here...

But, back to the OP'ness again: the twist is, that every qq'er stands and shouts and wants that 'truly best' lego block - even if the house doesnt ever need that ship's engine... :D

Just that simple: a build that doesnt work with actual stuff, is a build from the past.

....

So if I have a corrupted Cybil's Paw. it will always be 6%? Correct? It will not be changed to 8%?

And the rich get richer.

Thats everytime they "balance".The safest way is to get mirror stuff.
But this time they change too much stuff for me.I will see what happend in future.

doesn't matter if it's corrupted or not. your Item will not be changed after the Patch. only the new drops will be have the affixes or if you use a divine orb on a item after the patch.

i can't tell if i'm more stoked for path of legacy or path of new tiers. either way, i guess it's path of screwing crafters.

over the years, it's become mroe than obvious that ggg has no idea how to balance... anything. skills, uniques, mods/tiers, maps, xp, skill tree - all get rollercoastered.

3 steps forward, 2 steps back. 2 steps forward, 4 steps back.

it's rather astounding, in that some of these mistakes have been so glaringly obvious to most everyone. ie: mjolner, coe, acuity, lameblast.

i haven't logged in to the game in weeks... and with new tiers imminent, it seems that i won't bother to ever log in again. it's ironic that the straw that broke this camel's back comes alongside what should be the best fix of all - an end to desync.

not that anyone gives a crap/sees this, on page 26 or whatever.

Honestly , even if i have some valuable legacies items myself , i'm rather bored by this legacy shit. How many version of an item will we have over the years? Find a way to upgrade all of them , seriously.
