Path of Exile: Heist Balance Manifesto

"

It must be stressed that most crafting methods are not significantly affected by these changes, but specific methods for crafting items with certain combinations of mods may be impacted, and you will undoubtedly be able to find new methods with a little investigation.

That's cute, you actually think you have a crafting system worth mentioning outside of Harvest. The Bench is pretty much the only thing you can craft with, and that's really for 1-3 affixes at best. Other then that, its all one big gamble (translated: not fun in the least).

Hey i need some help here to wrap my head around the glancing blows change reasoning:
It says that glancing blows in combo with life/es on block effects were giving too much survival for too little investment.

What i dont understand is: how does GGG measure the investment to get that combo going?
- is it just the skill points and mods needed on gear?
- or are also the uniques taken into account?
Almost everything in this game is RNG dependent so whats low/high investment is different from player to player.
Thx for reading my long ass post :)

if there was need to stop no brain use end cry in meta builds, they could have done it more smart. As example no charges if no foes + first level have 10 sec cd. 21 lvl is 6 sec. + maybe more str for high lvl of cry. That way gamer have a choice. Melee still have old cd, and need positioning, range can use it more often with investment in str..

During Harvest, we added the ability to view the tags of mods on an item by holding ALT with advanced mod descriptions enabled. However, further changes to the mod tagging system were required in order to support displaying tags in the long term.

RIP Tailwind/ Elusive boots and Explodie chests.

So glad I made 12 T1+ Explodie chests and 36+ T1 Tailwind/ Elusive booties. With Heist already looking dumpster with so many replica alc shards and no deterministic crafting, I am looking forward to playing in standard the entire season,

You are forced to play league and meta builds only.

I have a cure for you: just don't.

Play off-meta. I play off-meta every league, and clear all content no problem. I've been hit by a nerf maybe twice as a result. GGG nerfs where people swarm. Do your own thing.

Assuming you are (close to) block capped, then yes it's the single skill point and strong on-block affixes. Remains to see whether or not they lower the % life/es on-block values. If not then Glancing Blows is still very strong.

I'm looking at the offical balance manifesto as if it was contrived by some redditer or else...

p.s. Why doesn't Master of Fire have Fire and Elemental tag?

pfft necro will still be top tier.

People crying about necro need to realize that necro was OP before cluster jewels and still will be top tier. Played a necro build that didn't use any of the things that will get nerfed and it was great.

People here crying about Necro's are crying here because they just like to cry. There's no merit to the tears.

That is exactly what I wrote on Reddit, No Defense, No Crafting(Harvest out), No Enduring Cry, we can all become miners 300 hp and that is it ...
