I will say, it feels like useful aura quality has been killed for every single spec other than aura stackers, just to keep a cap on aura stackers.

I mean when an aura stacker can turn 1% into 6%, the problem is the aura stacker...

But for every single other build you've just turned those alternate quality auras into non-quality quality gems plus ~1%. You might as well have just removed the gem variants in question.
Buffs to 40 skill gems? Hardly.

You tease ascendancy changes which turn out to be mostly nerfs across the board. You tease buffs to skill gems which turn out to be mostly damage scaling on melee skills that are underused for different reasons and hardly any love for spell skills, while nerfing alternate quality auras into oblivion for all but the super rich.

Both builds i was making got nerfed pre-release (martyr of innosence ignite (40% less damage) and cobra lash (45% less damage).

You bloat the mapping experience even further with heist and harvest while their content was only realy worth it for the average joe if it spawned every map.

I get that you guys want to increase player retention by slowing down the game, but good lord, this might be the least exciting patch notes i read since I started playing in 2013. Those atlas skill trees better be worth it.

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.

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 read 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 than 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).


Funny thing is Fire BV Assassin using Avatar of Fire was much much more OP than the poison variant, and it doesn't seem like they even considered touching that one, well except for the base ascendency nerfs that is, but less of an impact for the Notables that the Fire version would take so that could be an avenue of success regardless.

Me personally, I think I'll be going back to spin2win Slayer Cyclone because I'm pretty familiar with the playstyle, levels through the acts well, and can get to maps pretty quickly into at least yellow tier maps on crap gear.

agreed!

wouldn't it have been better and easier to just limit clusters to 2-3 of each type? like all the other broken gems.
Why do you wear that stupid bunny suit? Why are you wearing that stupid man suit?
(this is a buff (no, really, it is))

kinda sad that the concept of legacy items dont apply to cluster jewels cause i spent a lot on them and now I wont even be able to sell them. It's like I lost currency which honestly feels bad.
