Buff Discharge, and nerf Shield Charge which was meant to be buffed for 2.3 (and hey, it was buffed). Can you at GGG make up your own damn minds about certain things please?

Path of CoC Discharge is what the game has degraded too, and I say that with a CoC Discharge trickster as my main.

The game it's self has not degraded at all.
It's the players who have degraded in term so creativity.
Why do you complain about CoC Discharge and go along with the popular choice and make it your main.
Why play a game such as PoE when all you do is follow the meta ...

Because the meta is what makes things rewarding, means faster clear times and easier to get loot. Not everyone wants to do the really underpowered build that has a hard time clearing a high tier map with best in slot gear.

But hey, let's just go buff an already strong skill some more and leave the meta as it is for god knows how long now, and nerf a skill we meant to buff that was dumpster tier for ages too.

Maybe this means one day they'll buff Elemental Hit's sorry self and nerf it about a week later.

What if i tell you you dont need to follow meta and go with the most popular choice in order to make things rewarding. A non meta build dose not mean an under powered build.
And the most rewarding part of PoE is the process of creating such build.
While you blindly follow what the top people do, you will never be able to discover a build of your own that works, and you will most likely end up complaining about balance changes on the forum.

I bet there's a game breaking reason for the so called nerf.
And if you call discharge changes a buff to CoC Discharge builds you can also call voltaxic changes a major nerf to ice nova builds ....

No Inspired learning/Headhunter fix while being used with bleed/grat violence/pro bloom.

Weak Patch Again

You would think being such an expensive item it woulda been fixed way before prophecy even started but I guess Sheild Charge and Discharge are such more important :D

Cya next league. Thanks for nerfing my skill mid league. WTF, I thought I was playing PoE, not Diablo3.

Eh League was Meh anyways the past leagues been no where compared to Ambush and Anarchy.

I shake my head at this indirect shield charge nerf - That's messed up. I dont even care about the AoE. But you guys should really revert the distance nerf. Thats so messed up!

Finally!! Discharge is viable again. Cool.

i loled

but cant undertand why only +10 monsters, why not take the 20% from shield charge and give it Discharge + 20% MORE aoe

Did anyone's wife leave them?

I'm annoyed at the inconsistency with the nerf to shield charge. Time and again I've heard that GGG does not nerf things mid-league, and yet here they are doing exactly that. I agree that the nerf was necessary, but I disagree with the inconsistency of doing so.
