gz on ruining another build archetype.

How to kill another aspect of endgame and stomp a 10+ mir build into history.


I played this build for 5 leagues now, improving it bit by bit every league.
About 15-20 mirrors of stuff, soon to be obsolete.

Aura effect gone from clusters, clusters unuseable.
i'd need 588% increased reservation efficiency on my gear to run all my 16 auras, which is impossible with 2% on jewels.

this leaves a bad taste in my mouth, you disregard the time i spent on this build in one single patch because reddit crybabies are complaining about party play. again and again you kill things in collateral from multiple angles.

the solution was so simple, lowering aura effect on others and leaving reservation alone as it impacts other builds aswell. now you probably ruined a bunch of builds with those changes, not just aurabots and stacking.

we'll wait and see how it plays out. If 3.16 is not the ultimate bomb league mechanic to make up for this loss, i will quit this game

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Pictures of the rude pms i am getting. I guess you're allowed to be toxic in pms, but you're not allowed to show that to anyone.

Here is an accurate version without the name and shame


The balance team and chris being out of touch with their game isn't the only reason why this game is going downhill.
The community is more toxic than ever, more so than the community of eve online. Alot of people i play with in standard are chill, but this? I can't imagine what goes through your head that you gain joy from sending me those pms, does it make you feel powerful or that you received some kind of twisted justice? Does it statisfy your jealousy?

nobody cares or asked for this
The factors that made 4+ party play so much more rewarding than solo I think are

1. dedicated traders
2. Group quant + regular quant interaction
3. aura bots

In that order. Groups will still generate massive amounts of items and not lose time trading for massive mapping uptime. These changes hit smaller parties significantly harder than larger ones I think. Not even speaking about potential impact on prices that would in turn affect midrange players

cmon man, don't be that pessimistic

here she kills all endgame with SO with ease

using fleshcrafter will lower hp by 500 (still 6k hp left), and losing one spectre is -20% dps, it's not that tragical, bosses will still get melted, just 10 more seconds of waiting? it's not even a super crazy gear, that wand is not even +2, it sucks

on the other hand, most spectres are useless in this game, and this is more of a problem bth.


I use the similar tree lay-out but my gear is cheaper. I don't have the exalts for those boosts and chest and definitely not a +2 wand which makes a lot of difference. She also uses an extra cluster with her level 100 but i have not been able to reach 100 i keep dying on bosses at 95 (yes i suck, i know, but 5 points would mean the extra cluster)

Biggest thing is she is using aura effect to enhance the hatred aura, i still am using the older cluster setup of the nerved double damage.

Her build will even get a much bigger massive hit after the EE nerf, and yes she probably will solve it somehow, as she somehow always has the currency for it, but i have not.

I am not pessimistic, i am realistic worried that the only type of build that enables me to play this game without getting wrist problems will become to weak do end-game content.

My current build has still room for improvement, but i am fed up with the league, i tried to get a decent enchant on my helmet, but failed, i tried to get a spectre chest, didn't have the exalts and didn't find 1 single node minion node in delve.

GGG thinks that the harder they make the game the longer the retention, but for me when progress stops my fun for the game stops.

Not everyone is like you, and not everyone has to do that. I don't enjoy playing the dps character. I have had a lot of fun playing the support, is that so bad?

why so mad ? just asking why not test and try you know new things ? and not be stuck on same thing over and over again and then be mad when game changes in 1 or other way

Because I like it ?? and the other players because it has fun doing it. Because I like playing as a support. It's so strange?

I can create a character that I want and I do not need POB to simulate it. But it doesn't amuse me. Besides, I love playing parties. Aurabots, cursebots, that was amazing at poe. But like all that is good, it has to come to an end.

So.. practically GGG is killing Aurabots ?!
The microscopic party play is now getting almost extinct ?


GGG doesn't like people playing together in a party. Therefore, they remove the supports.

nope, they adding real supports to the game, by deleting the astronomically overpowered interactions
