But what would happen to the owners of these uniques? Then they just wasted 25-40 exalts on these?I would be pissed for sure lol.

I am fairly certain their stance is to nerf future versions of said item, and leave old ones as they are. You may think this solution makes things worse between haves and havenots, but the old ones do eventually faze themselves out as people die in hardcore or quit softcore.

Even if they nerf the old versions that are theoretically unbalancing in nature, I would be fine with that even if it effected me.

I play the game to have fun and have fun while I am playing. Decisions have been made in the past that destroyed characters that I enjoyed. I just make new characters. With new skills and differing buffs/nerfs happening on a weekly basis, it only really makes sense to roll with the punches and give feedback of your experiences.

You are correct on their "current" (things change)stance about item nerfs as it is understood at the moment. It follows the same general rules as their old league migrations; or has in the past. The old dropped items will get the label "Legacy" on them and new drops will follow the new formula.

Diablo 2 did it this way as well. And yes there are people in 1.13 LoD using 1.05 Windforce, which was nerfed in 1.07. But finding one now for a new character is nigh on impossible, seeing one is highly unlikely. And the game economy did not die a horrid death over it. Such items become very very expensive and there end up very very few of them.

The only difference here, is that there are no character wipes (but honestly who has lost a D2 character they did not want to lose or still cared about?). In time people with OP versions of items will trickle out, some will leave, some will quit, and yes some will stay around, those items will change hands, and eventually the owner will phase out. New OP items will rise up to replace them (at 4 a week there are bound to be some OP items), and in time there will be this beautiful spread of items, ranging from "current versions of x" to old "open beta version of x", and everything that is added to the loot lists in between.

ranger builds scales so shit with gears so i dont see how is alpha op

This is not true at all. As a ranger you can get a damage bonus on gloves and belts, which caster type builds cannot. In addition, you can get damage on 2 rings and your amulet. This can add up to a total of 144% increased WED and 16% IAS.

Well, casters can get elemental damage bonuses on that equipment as %element(fire, cold, lightning) damage increae. But attackers can get like a flat elemental damage + that elemental damage % increase, and a weapon elemental damage % increase, but something that nice is like hitting the lottery all over again xD.

Both can get faster casting/attacks.

Kaom's heart needs a 2handed weapon to ever achieve anything past 4 slots.
Shavronne's does make it so chaos doesn't pass your energy shield but it still HITS you for damage, you still need chaos resistance.
Marohi is just an end game mace, I've heard of people getting maces nearly as good as it be it from drops/crafting
Alpha's howl is the only one i would say is truly overpowered.

Nobody gives a fuck about chaos res tbh, why should shavaronne builds?

And then they get massacred by Undying alchemists, and die a horrible death.

Or that pack of rare chaos damage snakes out of left field in some areas.

Or better yet, a boss alchemist backed up by other enemies.

Even if one doesn't care for such things, they can still die an unfortunate death if their luck is against them. Worse so on maps with certain modifiers.

It's that button in console adventure games when you press the x button you slaughter hundreds of enemies with ease.But we don't have this in Poe do we? It's hardcore remember! Nope we instead have Kaom's Heart that makes you have 8-10 k hp.And if you win the lottery maybe you can have that item.

Why would GGG put something like in this game is beyond me.What happened to ''Rares always will be better than uniques strategy'' ? Shavronne,Marohi,Alpha's Howl and the Emperor the GLORIOUS Kaom's Heart says hello.I know it's too late to nerf one of these because it would make the owners go crazy.It simply is not possible to change these items at this point.My question is, why would you put these items ingame in the first place?What happened to your ''rares will always be better than uniques policy'' ?

All I read was WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH I DON'T HAVE ONE... WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

Stop crying, go play WoW.

Aaaand here is the retard of the thread.

We haven't even been presented with the endgame content yet so why whinge about a useful levelling unique?

My money is on 2x6L (2H + chest) being more powerful for lots of builds over Kaom's Heart once the final content has been presented. We'll just have to wait and see.

Don't know why you're angry over an item being useful though. So what if people can get it and not have to worry about a chest until the new content. Big deal. There are lots of downsides to having a Kaom's too.

Each for their own

Not really.

How would you possibly know if your Kaom's is going to out-last the endgame content when its released.

stop derailing the thread with unconstructive nonsense.

I think my point is valid so i stand by it, despite your +4000hp...
