Ok, updated my PoB with new assassin's ascendencies, my build is loosing 6 million Sirus dps... 15% less DPS in one update. This is a huge nerf.

I don't think poison build was the thing to balance this hugely first.

Anyway, we will see, maybe time to change too.

The Rogue Harbour once again acts like a town and will be populated by other players.

FUCKING WHY!?!? WHO IN THE ACTUAL FUCK ASKED FOR THIS?

Note that all of the following changes affect all existing Cluster Jewels with these passive skills.

This SINGLE line of text killed:
- My character, which I developed for MONTHS
- My plans for creating content for Echoes in Standard
- My ability of creating content in Standard
- My desire to play PoE in general

Thanks, GGG - now I officially hate you. This patch showed me, that you both CANNONT balance and DO NOT WANT TO. Because of ONE build, that takes TIME, EFFORT AND I.N.V.E.S.T.M.E.N.T. - you have burned EVERY. SINGLE. ALT. QUAL. AURA. GEM. No one will use them. EVER.

"

Divergent Zealotry now causes you and nearby allies to regenerate 0.005% of life per second per 1% gem quality (from 0.02% per 1% gem quality).

Like - WHO and IN WHAT WORLD will be moronic enough to use that? Even at 500% aura effect this thing is outright TRASH.

"We buffed 40 gems".
FUCKING REALLY? Did you, huh?

Your build went from 40 million dps (2 shapers per second) to 34 million dps (1.7 shapers per second).

And you’re in tears.

No offense but, don't only reads numbers. To play delirious 100% with a build that lacks defenses and explosions, you have to be able to boost offenses a lot. 15% less DPS is really a lot in one update, 36M (42 before) Sirus DPS is really not a lot with the budget i put to max it.

You also have to consider we are talking about poison DPS too, it doesn't really work the same way as pure DPS.

At last, you have to consider other builds and see how they work for the same budget. Money is not the deal in PoE, it's just the fun to play a build we love. Nerfing this much a poison build (wich is not mainstream nor overpowered), feels bad.

It's just a game, i don't really care in the end and i will play a new build, but i feel nerfing this much is not really reasonnable and a great new feature (i'm totally fine with balancing, this is not balance).
