It's the other way around, ES needs a nerf.
Pff, who even plays Standard?
life is fine. we would only get some numbers inflation. Es is just overtuned in a highly competitive or difficult content environment. For 90% of the game life is just fine.
Life definitely needs a buff.
POE2 should be the ruthless vision experience and POE1 should be the zoom power fantasy sandbox to capture both audiences.
I petition to return all the fun stuff that was removed or nerfed over the years back into POE1.
Imagine nerfing ES and not buffing the defensive options for Life. Next gauntlet won´t be cleared at all!

Doe would be funny to see.

Let’s be real, even if they nerf ES, people would just pick the next best thing in the top meta with the gauntlet alt classes, or maybe even just play the boss fights as intended instead of tanking every single hit, and the same names would still appear on the top and clear list.

What needs a nerf is damage scaling from ES on the most meta builds in this league.

CI is fine, ES itself is fine too. Life could use a buff cos many life builds need an unique armor that has a some crappy life modifier on it and prevents you from taking 15% life mastery.

Such as that shitty mod on Brass Dome (strength doesn't provide life) - why this has life tag? It's purely to piss you off.

Builds like EE, FROSS or energy blade is what need a nerf, cos scaling ES itself also scales their damage. You're doing a very efficient double dip with these.

People can´t play the fights without tanking their abilities. Thats what HC builds are made of. If a build cannot tank it, it won´t pass the boss in the gauntlet.

Normal league is whatever.

Watch Souls Gauntlet Uber kills if u really believe that. Now imagine Ben playing that character instead. Maybe Gauntlet wouldn't be fully cleared, but at least 4 Bosses and there's no reason to fully clear either, just be further than the rest of the pack.
