This is great and I wish they'd do this more often.

Of course we can expect the most used stuff to see a nerf.
But everything with low usage should always, every single league, just get a numbers boost until they are reworked or usage exceeds 4-5%.

so they can do more work and also create more work in the future just to try and create a world where people don't settle on a meta?

buffing unused stuff is great, what you describe here is a lot.

I too think they need to be more aggressive with buffs relative to their nerfs.

However 4-5% is actually insanity. That means no outliers and near perfect balance.

Ignoring balance, some things just aren't as popular no matter how strong.

Making sure everything below 1% gets aggressively buffed and under 2% gets gentle buffs should be sufficient.

Also, revert the AC node swap. It needed a nerf but that was over the top. GGG, maybe I'm wrong, but it feels like it a build/strat is good on a budget you hit it much harder.

Does Behemoth still have "Your spells deal no damage"?

Probably an unpopular opinion but these nerfs and buffs are GOOD
The only changes (or nerfs, depending on what people like to say about it) that seem kinda weird are the changes to Behemoth. The Warcry change feels mega wrong but hey ho.

Other than that, good patch notes honestly. Most minor nerfs hit the Ascendancies that seemed way too OP the last time Phrecia come around, and buffed those that weren't played as much.

Solid 8/10

Mostly agreed. They picked their targets well.

Behemoth was weird for sure. I remember some Gen Cry shenanigans but didn't seem to warrant that.

AC getting hit with a triple tap seems to me to be a bit much. Hit defiance, endurance and be done with it. The node swap is way way over the top imo.

Blind Prophet probably would have been balanced with smaller nerds too.

Why you didn't remove "monster steal charges" and "chance to avoid poison/bleeding/impale" mods? These mods outright brick build like flicker strike or poison builds.

They WILL NOT BE PLAYABLE THIS LEAGUE COME ON GUYS.

It's so sad to see that there's no ruthless mode available for this league. I don't think any of us ruthless players would mind it if the idols are scuffed, we just want to be able to play a game where the optimal way to play trade isn't RSI inducing looting, buying/bulk selling everything or crafting/flipping.
Just nice, meaningful progression where the optimal way to get certain items is by playing the associated league mechanic, and not farming x div card or heisting etc.
The joy of finally putting together all the pieces of a build after a few weeks is just not there in normal PoE. And as much as i love SSF, that also has way too much looting involved, and its much more fun to play while engaging with other people, especially the ruthless community which is full of... interesting fellows.

lovely. Cant wait to start gambling on gambler

No Ruthless ? :( log out

These changes are sick, we need more than 3 weeks for this... pwetty pleash?
