" SeaSkipper wrote: So basically, GGG double nerfs gladiator ascendancy. Yup, at least for a Attack + Spell Block setup. You could forego Spell Block and a lucky 75% attack block becomes 93.75/0 block instead of the 75/50, which at least isn't directly worse than 75/75, but is probably still overall worse...

I play non-meta pretty much 100% of the time and every time GGG makes these sweeping changes based on philosophy with absolutely 0 attention to practical application it just kills off a bunch of stuff that was already verging the viability line... see you all in 3.17... hopefully... This. Same here.	Posted by Kastmar#4974 on Oct 10, 2021, 10:06:33 PM Quote this Post
Suggestion for new Gladiator node: Please consider Blocked Attacks are Unlucky with + 10-20% maximum spell block OR Blocked Attacks and Spells are Unlucky, so that we can still have some additional spell mitigation like before even if it takes more investment. The fact that the new node will only affect attacks really really feels bad.	Posted by Madroxmultiply#0794 on Oct 11, 2021, 2:28:16 AM Quote this Post
I like the ideas of the core defences. Game complexity and variety is so powerfull in PoE. Please make sure not to simplify the game too much though. I hope you guys you know what you are doing with this. Thanks for the hard work GGG, can't wait for the new league!	Posted by MyBallsOnYaChin#1241 on Oct 11, 2021, 4:24:40 AM Quote this Post

They begged u for good loot, that we would finally start PICKING UP rare items and u came up with this? Dude, did you even listen to Chris' answer to this problem? He said they totally agree, but they want to adress it later with data from the new "hard mode". Which is totally fine. I really like the changes. People who say that Block/Dodge/Blind is dead either don't read properly or... I don't even know. " Berylstone wrote: The extra defense from armor might be useful, but that will largely be offset by your nerfs to fortify. Why would you think that they nerf fortify? They will even slightly buff it for melee characters via the passive nodes. Guys, really, read the notes! No, this is NOT fine. U want to tell me that they have insufficent data from 7 years of path of exile? AS IF this stupid hardmode will change anything. First of who will play this whole "hard mode"? Sadists? New players that dont know what to click? Are u new to this game? Cause i havent seen a single person pick up every rare item that is on the ground. Whatever.

<<< GGG TEAM >>> Hard mode = no items, players very happy to find one once in a blue moon. Problem: Melee skill gems rely on weapon damage while spells do not Solution: Let Melee skills scale like spells and not being dependant on weapon damage. e.g. 300-2500 damage.

" philosoaper wrote: the new "variable gear" hidden/unmodifiable quality.. is pure garbage Yeah, it's shocking that GGG just somehow didn't realize it at first, that "add another layer of RNG to loot" just makes things even worse. No matter how many times they seem to drive players off with it, they keep feeling it's a brilliant idea. And how would it even be handled? Wasn't there already a variable to describe something as inherently "better?" Like a word beginning with the letter "Q" or something?

And yet again GGG does it. Gladiator who sacraficed damage to tankyness is utherly killed, he will not have damage nor tankyness. Gj GGG killing just another ascendancy next to inquisitor. My hype level to next league became -9000 with killing gladiator. Kill gladiator and buff raider.	Posted by zsirfoka#3193 on Oct 11, 2021, 2:47:01 PM Quote this Post
