Malachai's Simula Blood Magic trick being removed. Why I'm disappointed.

yes everything u said is true but the thing is like u said ci is becoming superior to life, for 2-3 weeks ppl will start threads,spamming how ci is much better than life (which will be true)and they will nerf ci in the next patches too.Cant u ppl see ggg is doing this all the time(first is nerfing life than "balancing" ci and reverse)At the end our endgame builds in top gear will have 3k life or 4k es with some armor and 50% less dps,(cause of point investment in es/life nodes)hybrid builds gonna die and all that is going to open possibilities to create much more dynamic builds, right ggg?

Time to reroll.

thats was a bug? rly they are stone age builds and guides that use that "bug" and im pretty sure ggg knew about it and they didnt count it as a bug.

seriously this is really annoying to read the same bullshit every day

ci is superior to life yes when the total cost exceeds a sick amount of exalts

but the gear you need is insane i was really pissed the last ci nerf the target audience were only average ci player....
do you think the guy with his 50 chaos gear and 2.5k es thought he was op ? noooooooooooooo

those 800-1k es chest and 400 es circlets ...do you think the average player has such gear...
nooooooooooo

yes i know i have ci chars ...have you ever tried to play ci in catacombs without a non freeze unique in any hc league ? its fucking scary you can be frozen for 10sec+ and those 2 dispell frozen flasks wont do shit

all the ci crying undermines the really hard fact that you will get hit by statuseffects shock/stun/freeze ect 90% of the time with full duration ohh wait you can buy a 4ex ring to solve a fraction of the problem that will help the little guys

i said last nerf that it was a bad decision to do it with reducing overall values instead of targeting es mods

wake up guys the gear owned by some streamer with no life playing 24/7 represents not even 1% of the poe population

This post should have been the /thread post.

It doesn't matter if there were build guides based around it; it doesn't make it any less of a bug. Just because GGG didn't do anything about it for awhile didn't mean, under any circumstances, that they would never do so.

I knew about this after my first character, and I decided never to use it even when everyone encouraged me to do so for one simple reason: I didn't want to end up with a character that had nowhere to go after they fixed it. I wanted a character based upon factors that GGG didn't have good reason to change.

I'm sorry to say this, but you were setting yourself up for an almost inevitable failure by basing the viability of your build on a clear cut bug. Just get enough Regrets or reroll.
The thing is, they've left the bm bug in the game way too long, as a few people have stated in the thread many people have started to/or if not have already built their spec around using that particular bug..

My two cents, they should atleast come up with an alternative, as its just going gimp life even more when it's already in such a disastrous state. I use the ' bug ' aswell on my Ranger, ofcourse it's going to be a nightmare having 700+ life reserved instead of 300, but unfortunately it will eventually happen and we will all have to deal with it, or we could all just roll CI? ha..

Stop asking for nerfs to everything. It will eventually hit you in the ass when least expected. Characters getting weaker and weaker with progress is the exact opposite of why we are playing this game. Nerfs to ZO and GR will bite hybrid life es builds in the ass. The only problem is a skill gem called righeous fire - 90% spell damage is op and shav should not be the only item that enables using it in maps. Another anti chaos unique would solve the case. Rebalancing righeous fire so it works better with life melee would be nice too.

Yeah, so they will suck as bad as life and everyone will have issue surviving.

If anything, life needs a buff. The problem with life now is that you need every single piece of equipment to have life stat to have a reasonable amount of life. GGG wanted us to take lesser life nodes, but right now we still have to take every single life nodes we can reach.
Still it is annoying to carry those gems (reduced mana, blood magic + auras) with you all the time. Essentially, you need to use one 4L item for 2 life-based auras if you don't wanna kill too much life.
That is simply bad design because right now there is more diversity without this feature. You can use the 4L to include other attacks, curses or defensive skills. Carrying the auras would block those spots.

If the intention was to reduce the amount of auras usuable by forcing players to use a blood magic gem (because no1 ever would use the blood-magic uniques in endgame) with its huge mana cost multiplier that's at least understandable. If a player has only so much mana and life it would be fair to make the nr of auras that can be cast limited. But forcing the players to carry the gems as well kind of sucks

edit: I am not sure if you really have to carry all the gems on your gear. Maybe you can cast and then swap, which would be fine for what I was saying

Sounds like a bunch of cheaters getting caught and thrown out of baseball using steroids. You knew the whole time it was NOT INTENDED. Adapt and move on. Hardcore game made for hardcore players by gamers....

Stop making builds that depend on auras..auras are there as a bonus.
