No it's not. It's stifling terrible players.


You've already admitted that you have no idea what you are talking about. Your presence here is not the least bit productive. If you don't have anything of substance to say about the chaos damage mechanic, why are you posting?

Your expectations prevent you from understanding how I am productive. You think people here should just know chaos mechanics? Nah, mate. I know the psychology of people, and people's complaints are certainly psychological. I deal with these things psychologically, and one day I will deal with them mechanically, but right now I am still new to PoE (a little over a week), and I like to think that I know a lot more than most people who played around that same time. I have been doing my research, but the one thing I already know I am good at, is dealing with people. And that's what I'm doing.

Because stacking HP takes so much skill. Actually this game generally doesn't take much skill.
The game play is basic common sense and spamming attacks, and doesn't require a high degree of accuracy or good reaction times to be proficient. And the rest is all about reading up info and getting good items and stacking HP. That doesn't take skill, just time.

It makes me laugh when I see people say "hardcore game for hardcore gamers!". They really have no idea how lame that makes them sound. lol

Listen, bro. Go to Youtube, look up ''Builds of The Week''. Then come back here with your ''information''.

TL;DR
Chaos damage is broken, you cannot avoid taking it and the only way to survive is Chaos Inoculation or life stacking. This is hurting build diversity, please fix.


You are being rash about it all. Try to be more intelligent about it. Think about it real hard. There is more to it than the way you make it sound. People have gotten around it without your 3 alleged immutable builds that negate this problem.


Really? Rash... Can you tell me of any build that would be viable in hardcore that does not stack life to the extreme or use chaos inoculation due to chaos damage? I really would like to hear of one.


I'm level 73 with only 2500 life (not a summoner) and on HC. Now, chaos is a bit concerning as i'm about to map, but it hasn't been a worry all the way through merc.
Yes, chaos dmg is lame now, and the reason its soooo unballanced its couse CI was pointless without the ES bonus, so they buffed chaos dmg, and added penalty for chaos resist so CI wanst so pointless.

I have 3.5k HP and chaos dmg burns thru my HP, i would get chaos resist, but it seems its as rare as droping a unique.

So, they broke the hole game becouse of 1 keystone.

Defense and survival are one of the key points of playing hardcore. Get Chaos Resists, just like every other type of damage.

-1 This isn't true. You suck at negating chaos damage. That's all there is to it.

im not an expert by any chance but me, with -30% chaos damage and leap slam is now at general gravicius doors.
never had a single issue with chaos damage, and have 3 + 30% chaos resist rings&amulets in backpack to switch to if needed.
i got those rings & amulets for 1 gcp at most for each. not expensive at all. they dont have any other good mod on them, but i dont need any cause i only use them in chaos mobs infested areas.
im guessing maps can be hard with chaos damage or what ? but so far, merciless & chaos damage didnt pose trouble at all.
