Will you cry when crit gets nerfed?

but before the horrible LoD expansion

Wow dude.

If given the ability, I would disagree with you so hard that a new branch of science would be needed to study how a persons atoms could spontaneously split apart into their primordial elements.

reason im bringing this up is d2 had the same issue in d2 pre LoD polearm whirlwind (cyclone without the desync... hint hint GGG) barbs were all the rage, everyone was rolling one, high phys damage with a tad bit of cold damage to permafreeze everything so basically you were godmode as long as you were in WW. so long story short everyone was crying because getting a belt or gloves or anything with cold damage was really expensive, and we are talking RARES here not UNIQUES in d2 RARES were king, but thats another story...

I loved D2C WW Barbs. They would always fill up spots in pubs back when there was no /monsterlevel but had to stay out of the chaos sanctuary, where the rest of us farmed. :P

I would say it was awesome, not horrible but I alwas prefered pre-Lod D2C.

I see nothing about this nerf in the news section. Where is the source of this claim?
A link would be appreciated.

That.

Bows gonna get hit by that hammer, guaranteed, thus making phys acrobatics builds unviable for higher maps.

GGG wont let you faceroll content with budget gear.

I dont think they are going to touch daggers, becuase you need really OP gear to make that work afaik.

And didn't they nurf CoC severely already? I haven't played CoC in a while so idk the gear dependency on that.

Nope, won't shed a single tear. Will be glad if GGG does find a good way to dial back crit/crit damage/IAS...maybe grow some balls and start using more diminishing returns instead of leaving so much scaling stuff unchecked. Of course, it will not be just a rebalancing of those three if they do get the nerf bat as other things will need to be adjusted as well when taking that into account...just going to depend on what those things will be in the long run.

However 25% of the time my sadness will be increased by 400-600%


It will result in me performing random linked actions, and otherwise freaking out the pets/kids/wife.


I wonder if a crit based character with the name of: Bipolar_Coaster has been taken...

*slow claps*

You sure about that?
All that's going to change is WHAT budget gear is being used. There is always a budget faceroll build every season, from the days of spork totems to the recent HoA prolif / crit bow builds.

Yeah, it's hip to have such baseless confidence.

Let's look at this from another angle. Is there any content, any content at all in this game that can offer even a mild resistance to a char doing 2 MILLION dps? Now, how do you get such high numbers in the first place?

Agree with it or not, the game's content wasn't designed to handle this. Granted, this isn't all the fault of the big bad crit boogeyman, it's a product of ever-increasing attack speed, multipliers, buffs, and all that.

So, either we'll be getting an uber-uber-uber Atziri, or the peak damage will come down. Given the history of balancing in POE, which do you think is going to happen?
