Clarifying the Ascendancy Changes

They literally state their intent was simplify and build on the unique identity of the nodes. If that meant having to delete generic speed and dmg than so be it. As far as I am concerned I get more hyped for nerfs than buffs most of the time because it makes me think about what I am going to try next league. I look forward to patch notes and the buffed gems c:

i dont like this changes i will not buy supporter pack this time.

Nerfs are good. They make us better players. Without nerfs, the game will become very easy to defeat.

its so hilarious to see the people crying about assassin not being able to be the strongest, fastest, safest build ever

i like the guy who said popcorn time hahahaha

98% of all changes are good.

But you can't just remove 34% movement speed altogether from an ascendancy straight up, in addition to its additional nerfs. You gutted Assassin, at least restore some movement speed.

Nerf the poison, sure.
Nerf the defenses, sure.
Nerf the crit (3.12), sure.
Nerf attack and cast speed, sure.
Remove ALL movement speed, no way.

Who in their right mind thought of that change ?
No more money from me that's for sure ! unless partially reverted.

Wow... people really like being overpowered and don't want to give even an inch of it "back".

For instance, I've been hearing "Necro is dead now" since 3.9 and somehow they still get played a lot.

That's why I don't take most nerf complaints seriously.

Should I believe it, this time?

PoE players are so addicted to power that they forget to play the game.

Then we agree? Whats your point because im finding this section funny that people are whining over minor nerfs. The Harvest will fix most of the damage nerfs anyways.

Do you have a chance of what? 5% to get harvest monster in your map? I seriously doubt you will ever collect enough monster juice to get a significant fixing.

Providing clearer identity for the nodes was a great and necessary move with new poe2 ascendencies in mind.

Options should be much easier to compare and understand now, especially for newer players who are not just following a guide and want to experience what makes POE in my opinion so great: all the possibilities and planning.

We have to understand this nerfs are necessary.

There are at least 20 people for each of these ascendancy's which got nerfed who abuse the system and have 20 mirror's to spend to make it look so overpowered. Not to mention the can play 18 hours a day.

Casual players which want to enjoy the game without getting one shot every 2 second and want to touch the end game a bit ( which by the way I guess is 90% of PoE players ) are not being considered since they are not streaming or have the currency to spend to make it overpowered.

So lets nerf the game to oblivion so the 0.5% of the player base gets a new challenge and find a new way to abuse the provided system. The need of the few outweighs the need of the many.

For example Minion builds are one of the most played builds in the game ( Checking post counts in the forums ) and they got literally destroyed. I don't know if turning off 30 to 40% of your player base is a good business decision to be honest. I for myself was thinking to come back for this expansion since it looked very promising before the needed nerfs were posted but I am not sure now.

More power to the nerfs!!!
