0.3 left side builds gimped
https://poe.ninja/poe2/builds/dawn
ggg buffs right side builds and nerfs left side builds, now am i realy that stupid or is ggg out of touch here? with the link above i want to highlight this: 4 out of the top 5 most played classes are evasion or evasion/es hybrids, these 4 make up 66% of ALL classes currently aviable, and ggg says they are weak and need buffs? these builds that make up that many % per league usualy are strong offensive AND DEFENSIVE wise, why do they get buffed even further and the already comparativly weak left side of the tree gets nerfs even, i dont understand, like whats the point in 0.3 to play anything on the left side now? we know how strong right side is and it gets buffed when left side, warrior specificly, desperatly needs alot more ways to scale life, not only that, armor is.... dogshit bad. despite me playing with it and knowing how to make it work somewhat, it simply cannot compare with evasion, let alone es. also why the smith of kitava nerfs? that was the only redeeming grace on the left side and you gutted that too. what the hell is going on with 0.3, i am very sceptical here and like i asked earlier above, am i realy that stupid or is ggg currently out of touch?

" I'm not an expert of the whole builds but isn't Huntress/Amazon got a nerfed (though I firmly believe is still good, strong, and viable) The ones that I remember: - Tangle Tounge nerf - Crit nerfs - Lighting Spear nerf - Nerfs to usages of Frenzy charges |

Imagine them saying that Evasion is the weakest defense.
Dex/Eva/Es builds are going to be even more insane. ~ Seph

" deflect being 40%+ DR will likely make it better than most str character's armour against the biggest hits. they're jumping the gilly. |

its not just 40% less dmg take, its against the corresponding dots aswell, wich to my knowledge, armor does not do.
ofcourse i could try to go armor/eva hybrid bases to get that stat onto my gear, but it appears to be a primarly right side tree thing. but its not just the evasion energy shield, when i read the patchnotes, almost all str (left side primarly) skills got nerfed aswell, totems gone because they now use your weapon meaning stacking only lvl is gone wich in turn makes totems weaker because of the general level scaling of skills in poe 2, magma barrier easier to use as it is automatic but again... gone in dmg and defensive. block in general, capped at 50% instead of 75 now, left side primary defense if not playing 2hander only, shield skills in general, nerfed and they were not even that strong to begin with. |
