I was wondering the exact same thing about Voltaxic and chaos conversion.
Never knew why it suddenly became so popular.

The only conclusion I can get is that the imbalance is not actually a problem to GGG, but the popularity matters.
So, to GGG, checking the threads on forum is the only method for balancing skills.

Sooooo TRUE!!!

But that's the thing that puzzles me, because GGG even released the Arcane Archer Build of the Week highlighting the Voltaxic Rift bow and it still didn't become popular until months later.
Maybe Neversink was right about the poison buff and leech nodes.

back to shooters

Volt became popular when people started using it with new poison, dot bonuses and so on. Quite simply it was Overpowered to the point where casters were running with bow just so they can spam chaos sparks / ignore reflect / resist and so on.

If something is way too overpowered the proper response is nerf.

Whenever you like these patch notes, you are elite players
Whenever you don't like these patch notes, you are noob players

That's what I feel after I read through all comments til now.

LOL

actually alot of truth in this. all the nerfs were too top tier builds, while mostly everything else got buffed

does anyone have a video on the Permanent Blade Vortex stacks bug that sounds super OP and I wonder who was abusing it?

Lol look at all these salty ass coc boys

You know GGG you can nerf all game to oblivion. It's your game. I will deal with it. But what you CANNOT DO, is to force me to play your game or spend a dime on this fucking nerfing game. You nerf the game every couple months. Why you introduce some mechanic and unique items? Just to nerf it because lot of players using it? You have no developer team to PREDICT the mechanics and new stuff? So you need to nerfit after couple months when actually players show you what you did wrong? Shame on you for it. You nerfing my character EVERY couple months and I'm sick and tire to make always new one. So you can have your game. I will see how my character will work. If not bye, bye.

i really dont think its worth quiting over man game is fun, and itll still be fun, but i too am sad about some of the nerfs i really loved mjolner builds and aspired to them in every league, makes me sad that their gone now.

You know the game was fun at the beginning. When I had nothing to loose. But after playing a years and nerfing all my characters, the fun is gone and I'm sick and tired to make always another character which WILL BE NERFED AGAIN.!!! Never ending nerfing wheel. And that's not fun. Game is soooo unstable now that is almost beyond playable.

Wow this is fkn terrible.... this isn't a melee buff at all btw.

Also great job making legacy versions of OP items. The richer get richer and the poorer get poorer.

I just can't let this one get unnoticed. They make legacy versions so the efforts you have made to get the item not be wasted. If you actually care about the item, go grab it yourself before it becomes legacy, by playing the content it's in. It is by no means "the richer get richer", it's just you being lazy, and choosing to whine instead of farming it.

Well the first problem I see are that people follow always the 5 famous streamers and copy paste their builds (META), ggg wants that people dont get bored of the game, because are true people play the same build every league (like me), but are unjust that people that dont follow like sheeps the new "METAS", and want to create new builds like EQ get nerfed for others.

Melee on the game are crap since 3 or 4 leagues, and ggg seems that dont care much, they care only of ranged builds, you can see new skills, I believe ggg have some of the fault bacause gives to much power to the 5 famous streamers, and the other part of the fault are the sheeps that dont create builds on the game, only copy paste the most op builds on youtube. Streamers destroy the game every 3 months, and ggg use the massive hammer to destroy the 80% of the peoples build, are the expected reaction, because are not easy to spend more 1000 hours on a game to be waste on the future, and the people that said make a new char, leveling chars a re a torture are not fun to waste 10 hours or more leveling your char.

But seems GGG loves to nerf all the good thing on POE. Wish the player base maintain, but soon will be out some amazing ARPG.

i find it bad to create 2 strong legacy items with voidheart and reach - ggg writes in one line that those uniques are too strong and in the other line they keep them in SC. Well, u can say that SC is really unbalanced anyways, but it wont get better this way.

pretty much what i said

they want to get rid of these items, but create legacies

nice try ggg
