I really hope there will be a Vaal Spark nerf before this goes live :/

Vaal Spark isnt OP at all, it was the jewels that made it that strong and spamable.

The nerf on Chill of Corruption isn't nearly enough. People made 100 with 4-5 days played and that includes time afking in town.

Damn you for the Blood Dance nerf! Finally my favorite item ate it.

One question to the 32 challenges:

Do we have to play both leagues to complete all 32 or can we focus on either sc or hc, depending on our own preferences.

A short instance-wide cooldown has been added to many monster skills. Monsters with "bursty" skills have had this cooldown applied to reduce player deaths from fast, hard-to-predict damage. This includes skills such as Leap Slam, Flicker Strike, Shield Charge, Lightning Warp and Arctic Breath. Most of the affected skills are appropriate as initiation skills, but are not ideal when many monsters perform them simultaneously

Translation: It is easier to farm now.

I think I am the only one that misses Devourer packs. I mean, fast reflexes or rip.

100% to get all 32 done will be both leagues, but wait for tomorrow news :)

P.S. All leagues in past required both SC and HC.

Real disappointed with the big Flame Totem nerf!

Not sure how to feel about no DPS change at level 21. Like many that DON'T want to vaal corrupt items, I feel like I have been punished. You said on pre patch that slight nerf in early game and buff in late game. Sure doesn't read like that from this patch notes update.


Happy with some of the other changes though. Like always, guess we will figure it out.

I thought the spell echo'ed version of Molten Shell looked cool.

Perhaps we could get an MTX for Molten Shell now that we can't spell echo it?

In the past SC and HC had different leagues though so this one is a first hence could go either way. So wouldn't be so sure that it requires both, knowing GGG they will probably screw it up and try to force us to play both though. Something I think they should move away from.

... GGG still in any case was forced to do that, because almost all chars - that I lvld as spell casters - used FT in beginning, and yes, in ~lvl25-28 with +1 to fire wand it had ~500-700dmg. So now... I will need to think about other fast-lvlng skills :)

What the hell, are GGG drunk ?

They increased Incinerate's damage to offset the loss of shotgun, now they nerf it again, and with that, you cant use spell echo.

Nice knowing you Incinerate, another USELESS spell now.

This game is just not worth playing now.

LoL...yeah of course, one gem is nerfed because new support gems are available like controlled destruction or whatever its name is, and the game is not worth playing anymore because it's not like there is about 100000 other things you can do in the game and combinations of skills et cetera. Got also a Inci-witch and going through the game with her was not comparable easy when doing the same with my melee builds et cetera. I will definitely check it out how Inc will behave now.

Go and play D3 with your funny huge set of predefined skills.

I loved D2 as hell and was waiting for a game like PoE since D2, especially while D3 was a huge disappointment for me.

It's always the same. From 1000 things only one thing is picked which looks not nice for some people, but the 999 improvements are not worth mentioning.

When Poe 2.0 was released with all the changes I was also like, oh shit, most of my 25 build we be much weaker and not playable now.

After tuning the skill tree and applying the changes, now all builds are more powerfull than before.
