I cannot find any reason to be excited about this patch. It's just taking stuff away...

I feel absolutely the same. Literally a giant "we are nerfing things by 20-30%" "here are your 3 buffs to 3 vaal skills enjoy"

And that's just the nerfs. Don't forget the lag, server issues, awful performance, crashes, getting kicked off the server, trade site going down, etc. Happens every league and gets worse every league. I really don't know what there is to get excited about.

And everyone who is excited just say "Let's Gooooo" or "KEKW" or "Boo Hoo Whiners". So i have no idea what their excited about either. Not trying to be a jerk at all. I want to be excited. I really like this game, but this is just awful. Hopefully there will be some positive feedback that will get me pumped.

Fun is NOT allowed, just go and play white maps, cause its the ""endgame"" from gigigi's perspective apperantly.

For all of you who are salty about the nerfs i have only 1 thing to say:

The nerfs are not enough i would rather see an 50% less damage on all offensive/speed skills/mechanics and 10% more increase in defensive skills/mechanics rather than killing Sirius in 1 second.

Most of you never played back in 2014 when normal and uber atziri were actually a challenging content, event with shotguning and snapshoting.

This power creep addiction needs to stop. Hope i do not see you playing this league.

Aye, they did find a sneaky way to defecate on Necromancers again after all.
Did any non-minion builds ever use this? In such a way that it was considered broken and needed nerfed? Not like that's a criterion for GGG to gut it, just asking.

Yes? Plenty of caster builds have limited, realistically available powerful suffixes. So they weren't giving up much by crafting trigger on their weapon.

They use a trigger wand/mace with 3 support skills or curse, e.g. Frostbite, frost bomb, bear trap, wave of conviction, blade blast, etc. In totality these skills can add about 60% DPS without any significant downside. The 60% figure is based on my GC miner from 3.12 which had blade blast (10% unnerve, bear trap is much better now), frostbite and frostbomb on the weapon.

If you were to use another setup like Arcanist brand which produces similar results, you need an extra gem socket. You also need to manually cast arcanist brand, and supported skills have less AoE, making it much worse for general mapping.

Its a change that was long overdue really.

Edit: I'm happy with the patch notes overall. The only issue I have is with the zana mods. I'm sure Harvest will be a really 'strong' option, but there isn't anything exciting from a gameplay perspective. Beyond, delirium mirror or legion would have been great.

Ahh, that's good to know. Thanks for explaining. But IIRC traps and mines couldn't be trigger-cast anyway, so you'll have to find another way to use Bear Trap, no?

The space around triggers and automation of any kind keeps getting smaller, it feels like. If only I could find much joy in my off-hours manhandling my keyboard with the complexity of an A380's controls.

Not a single $ from me anymore until you actually start listening to your players

I hate posting like this, but it's just a sad reality when patch notes like this come out.

I have friends I play this game with, who took a look at the fact that every one of the builds they play throughout a league just got nerfed, and not just by a little, and straight up said they were not playing till GGG "fixed their s*i*". And these builds were wildly different across the board. Heck, about the only builds I recall playing that didn't get nurfed was a flicker strike raider from last league and a long distant ed-c build that was nurfed defensively several leagues back.

As a result, I am debating even playing myself, and as a very long time player of this game, that saddens me. Maybe one day they will realize the answer is almost never "nurf-everything" and is more about determining what is under preforming, what is over preforming, and settle the bar somewhere in the middle and bring everything in line. (preferably closer to the top, instead of everything into the ground)

At least other games/xpacs/dlc's are comming out around the same time- less reason to actually put in time to a dying game.

I like that you're pulling back player power to a more manageable level. I'll miss zooming around like a maniac sometimes but i like the prep for the influx of new players come POE 2 time. And player power was long overdue for a reset.
