7.Righteous Fire:
No longer Deals 39-2447.9 base Fire Damage per Second. Now deals 70% of your Maximum Life and Energy Shield as Base Fire Damage per second (both previously 35%).
Quality now provides +0-0.3 metres to radius, instead of 0-20% increased Burning Damage.

That is not a buff, that is a straight up deletion of the main RF playstyle in use. The number of people scaling RF via life and ES instead of via gem levels could be counted on one hand. RF is a clearing skill, fire trap is the main skill used for single target, and there is no synergy at all with life/es scaling and the single target scaling (i.e. scaling gem levels). It's completely dead as a league starter because the clear will fall off a cliff somewhere in yellow maps.

I'm hyped. Everything looks incredible, and I am so so glad that the meta is fresh. It was getting very stale, and I was worried that GGG couldn't pull off supporting PoE1 and PoE2. Because of that, I wasn't supporting the game monetarily - now, I will. Thanks GGG <3

NO BALANCE CHANGES?! HOW DARE YOU?!

PoE "Community" now:

BALANCE CHANGES?! HOW DARE YOU?!

I was really hoping for an Arc buff. :(

Can we please get to keep alternate quality gems in standard the same way enchants are going legacy ?

Challenge leagues don't do it for me anymore and min-maxing in standard is what my friends and I got left.

Can we please not get rammed over like we are not investing in the game as standard players ?

You all complaining do not understand this game in the least, there will be more power in this league than we have had in a long, long time. So many more builds are now viable, something we have been asking for league after league. There is so much power being added through the new gems and quality. Sad about enchants, they are now part of the quality of the gems and new gems that are paired with them. No reason to complain, plus new ascendancies to add onto the ones we already have, smh, everyone talking about Nerfs is braindead. Sure a few things got hit, but the door just opened for so many more. I have 5 thousand hours in this game and I have never repeated a build, I always try something new this league allows for even more options. I cannot wait! Going to be a great league. Thank you GGG for the continued efforts and work it's much appreciated and as always I will continue to support, as you continue to put forth a great product

Looks good

Slightly increased the drop rate of currency items for Ruthless!
Maybe slightly increased the drop rate of gems items would be nice too!
Anyway, thanks so much for this huge generosity!

Reduced the drop rate of Forbidden Tomes
=> means we'll get more chance to get a Miror of Kalandra in Ruthless than a forbidden tome, right?!

Seems to be a deadly patch for hardcore! ;)

Nerf sanctrume currency drop pls its disgusting and not fun
