Nerf: ALWAYS AND FOREVER

Please remove Storm Strider - Lightning Mirages. It looks so cheap and came from a bad mobile game to haunt me. It not the first blue gloving human thing in game. We have harbingers but this is not the same. Their color, movement, lightning animation. It's not fit to game at all. I understand storm strider, magma and toxic things purpose. They are bright for visual clarity. We need to see to dodge with our movement. We play a game, its part of the game. But it takes away more than it brings. Basicly everything about them destroys the atmosphere of game. Magma and toxic thing not that bad but Lightning Mirages are horrible. I'm ok to instant death for every time I should see a Lightning Mirage if you delete it.

Problem: people didn't need to farm mirrors to kill bosses
Solution: nerf most cheap skills into the ground.

Well kinda expected that to happen after the no nerf league last time

I m a chinese player! When I saw this news; I think I would not play this game even POE2; I love this game before, and then, Let people down again and again.; so GGG, You are so good; so think for the players; Bye Bye; See you never again;

ai

And you want to cone new players here , i cannot make them to come of you nerf allot ,for a newbie is verry hard and players will leave game soon , even veterans , what is wrong with ya guys ?

This is not a game for everyone anymore. Punish the casuals who don't have 10h a day and just want to enjoy the game. You put harder monster in the game and nerf the build that can kill them to make player grind hard to get decent gears to kill them. You need 24/7 then....

I continue to not understand your logic GGG, you find something is used too much and what do you do, nerf it so the people that enjoined have to stop playing it. Instead of nerfing it why dont you make other skill that are useless or not played playable???

People have limited time, do not try to take more of their time, because you think it is good idea. By that logic imagine you have 8 hours work day, will you like to work 20 hours and then the next year 22 hours, because someone thinks that more work hours is better for you and they have ''Vision'' how long you should work? It is like you want to make the game for someone that plays 12 hours per day and give him more time to waste, because he doesnt have what else to do anyway.

As people said stop creating problems where there is none, people are different and like different things, if someone like specific build and wants to play only that build let the build alone.

You keep adding new skills and items in the game, guess what, things will never be balanced and they dont have to be, this is in essence farming simulator game, you move, do damage, repeat, no matter how you change things this will be the core. Let the people decide for them selves how they like to farm.

The game is awesome, but you keep trying to push the players away for some bizzare reason, do not force the people to play the game the way you want...

If that is your ''Vision'' for the game you should prepare for new vision, one without player base.

Pretty good all in all! I think you could have taken the opportunity to buff so many more skills not only by a very cosmetic margin. All strike skills need much more love...

Edit: Minion nerfs need an edit. Looks like most of them are pretty dead now. Thats too much to be honest...
