Thats called miners? If you think GC is the only skill miners delete bosses with you've never played a miner, it should be noted that if you could precast 12 spells and didn't require cast speed in any way pretty much any skill rapes bosses if the scaling options are good.

This is not anything like BF/Barrage which are fundamentally broken compared to other skills, BF is something like 330% damage effectively while also being psuedo ranged and aoe (190~ ish for heavy strike) barrage is 240 but gets 120 from a helm enchant, 60 from a quiver etc its a massive difference between the meta skills and everything else.

Yep let's just ignore the fact that the changes to GC were what made it broken and instead go off rambling about other shit in an attempt to distract from the fact that you know very little about GC.

Just get an aurabot in your party


then everyone gets a million dps from a character that does nothing :)

Unrestrained power creep will kill any game and we've got that going on for both players and monsters.

Of course the balance in this game is shit, why do you think we constantly get literally every meta build nerfed and not just nerfed, but nerfed to the oblivion so it's unplayable anymore? content has always been a bigger priority than quality in this game.

I wanna ask him why he's allowing players to cheese end-game bosses with millions of dps.

Some of the most common skills used to 'delete' shaper and other bosses: Barrage, Molten Strike, Blade Flurry, Glacial Cascade and others.

Please dont make fun of balance team

Chris personally asked me to stop mocking their work because they are trying their best and the community reminding them their fails is affecting their moral.

Anyway, there is a forum section dedicated to criticizing and making fun of Balance team

its called "Path notes"

Because they deserve too if their gear is cable of it? The fuck is the point of an ARPG if they can't do that.

Loot?

Loot is pointless if it doesn't make you fucking do that.

Shouldn't the last boss of the game present a certain challenge regardless of how good your build and gear is? Killing him in a matter of seconds seems rather silly.

What you see on reddit and youtube is not a representation of the game as a whole, its a significantly smaller portion who become extremely wealthy and can spend hundreds if not thousands of exalts on "delete u in 5 secs" gear. To nerf anything because of this small faction of people is ridiculous. Most of us still have to fight the boss, and a far greater number of people never even get to that level of end game.

not directly picking on i_no again as she doesn't answer my posts anyway but path of exile especially started as a arpg that made things different than other arpgs.

that included the endgame difficulty. players runing against walls likely stay to further improve their skills and gear, players who are able to cheese bosses woth copied builds and gear bought on the market in minutes either reroll or leave after some weeks.

i think every build should have some area or boss where it utterly fails. that would make poe different.



edit: ok, picking on i_no is so much fun: don't you think there is a direct link between your statement of players should feel like gods after some time with the game and your complaints that all your friends constantly leave after 3 weeks of playing?

They might be trying their best, but it doesnt change the fact - balance is PoE is horrible, and GGG balancing team is not competent enough. And for some their decisions, i'd said "completely incompetent".

I know, they are forced to hire people from their country (New Zealand). I know, that keeping good balance is a very hard task. I know, that many players think only about abusing some kind of OPness in PoE.
But maybe, it's time to watch over other games, that came from state of horrible imbalance into a state, where 90-99% of content is considered viable by players, that earn millions of $$$ for their wins. Without hurting diversity at all!
Yes, i talk about DoTA2.

Really makes you think about GGG's forum policy
