Made significant improvements to a number of Spectred monsters. Many monsters that couldn't be spectred previously now can, and many that previously only used their melee attacks in unlife will now use whatever special skills they had in life. Several Spectres that were dealing damage far above others have been toned down. We're looking at you, Atlas Influence monsters.

Don’t mind this comment, I’m just a pissed off Necro player who doesn’t understand how my enjoyment playing necros effects anyone else. The people who took those builds to the max were a minority. I had a baron geofri/victario build and people were slaying bosses faster with double strike and saviors faster than me... I don’t get it. I’m sure someone who is happy about the nerf will be happy to explain though.

How dare a 100ex endgame melee build with a 20ex boss drop weapon outdps a 5ex zombie build.

and this is an example of someone who doesn't know what hes talking about!

I read all 40+ pages of feedback just to check if there is something major I missed when reading notes myself. I will join the crowd - I am mystified. Nobody reads long posts so I will keep mine short and temper low
I can understand if GGG wants to keep power creep under control and while introducing new (obviously stronger to have any impact) elements at the same time nerfs those at the time above average. I could even imagine such an approach could level the board releasing underpowered skills and mechanics from utter oblivion. Still, it would imply some analyzing on GGG side…. and here is where my curiosity spikes. It seems to me than rather than analyzing data and correcting when imbalance is clear, GGG team just watches streamers and reads some redditers, following with blind nerf hammer … and then every aspect of given skill/ mechanics is gutted. Pretty often nerf hammer hits not where imbalance is apparent… or its non-surgical characters wrecks landscape in areas that were far from meta before giving nothing in exchange.
Moreover, the gap between meta and virtually unused skills is so big, even after nerfs noone but the current fans will use those underdogs
I, along with most ppl complaining in this thread, will join the new league on Friday. I will do it hoping, that the league mechanics will not be overtuned and jewels drops and RNG will compensate for the nerfs in notes… And, what is most important, when asked about best games to play, I will rather say ‘well, I play POE because I found no better alternative even though I don’t like the direction it follows in the last several months’ than ‘I play POE, it’s a great game, you should try it’. Hardly something that will attract new players. With little ambassadors and mechanics increasingly catering for no-lifers, I have no idea what is GGG business model. I can well imagine genre purity is important and even that no-lifers have deep coffers but with limited inflow of new no-lifers candidates and attracting broad micro-payers audience, game growth potential is limited.

Peace out Baron helmet it was a fun run.

I'll read all the comments and edit this later but after a quick read I think you guys should really focus more on bringing other builds up to the standard of "meta" builds instead of nerfing the few outstanding builds that do exist.

Not really surprised or upset but yeah.

First time i reply to patch notes, but i will be short :)

TL;DR: welcome to Incursion 2.0.

Summoners were broken and they got nerfed, as expected.
Played near all flavors of summoner builds in past 2-3 leagues and i can say that most of them(well, the 5-6 archetypes at least) were too much powerful for the investment needed( my fav was the Chains of command for the massive minion capacity and buffing).

Really hoping the new Animate Weapon(with both minions number nerf and damage buff) is still viable for a summoner build.


The thing I am really SAD about is seeing Bottled Faith wasn't nerfed in this patch.
C'mon, huge damage build enabling no drawbacks-flask even if you're holding a stick? Wasn't GGG against this kind of thing, was it?

Where is the difficulty in making a really working build if you have this flask?
( and i know a lot of you got on the hype train in seeing "*insert fav weapon/skill* gazillion of damage build" just to come to the realization it works only if you use that flask)
