yes that is a great way to balance things , make it so only no lifers and lucky people get it. .............

Why did I even bother to write the second sentence. :/

nerfs:
- Bringer of Rain and Aegis Aurora will somehow be banned from dropping in the new leagues.
- Block cap might be lowered (to 70 or 65). The nodes will not change (much). Maybe Dervish will get nerfed in block chance.
- Cruel/Merciless Dominus
- That huge unique devourer in the level 66 map
- Shock and Horror map boss
- Spectral Throw will cost more mana
- Ethereal Knives will no longer be considered a spell
- Voltaxic Rift
- Monsters will have increased armor
- Monsters will have decreased elemental resistance
- Raise Spectre
- Frenzy quality bonus
- Unwavering Stance and Iron Reflexes will be moved somewhere harder to access and have 2-4 nodes before the keystone
- Cast on Crit will have a much higher cooldown, but will cast the linked spells after the cooldown if the gem triggers during the cooldown
- Cast on Damage Taken will be based on a percentage of life instead of a flat value, lowering with gem levels
- Some possible summoner gem damage changes, either higher or lower

Nailed it

"no lifers" I've never done a 78 map, my highest level char in nemesis was 87 and I got around 40 exalts and a kaoms. Your point is invalid. I work 4 hours a day and go to school for 8. Your point is once again proven invalid...

Nerf my fun.

It took me ages to make a viable build - I wanted to make it by myself and not copy and paste it from an existing build / streamer - and I'm just starting to enjoy it, so it's highly probable that it will get "balanced" one way or another.

Anyway I learned a lot from GGG and I started to put that acquired knowledge / wisdom to use: I decided to nerf my financial support to GGG by gating it behind my personal wall of satisfaction / enjoyment of PoE.

I have been spending a crazy amount of fusings to try and 5 link (yes, "only" 5) a Daresso's Defiance armor during the last couple of weeks, to no avail of course... which isn't exactly my idea of fun.

My next support pack upgrading is now gated behind the "RNG is RNG" thingy white knight fanboys so much enjoy: it will happen when either I happen to 5 link that armor or find an exalt or superior orb.

Before someone states I could buy a 5 linked Daresso's for cheaper than my fusing attempts will cost, I'd specify I want to make this armor by myself - consider it as a personal challenge.

(It seems the probability to successfully link an item is depending on the item tier too, as I already 5 linked a couple of Icetombs before without banging that much on the "fusing wall".)

It seems fair that I should treat GGG in the same ways and with the same tools they are treating me isn't it ?

If you really wanna treat them the same way, roll a dice about how much money you'll spend.

O.O

well my bit was more of an add on to the sarcasm but oh well.

btw no lifer means you have no social life it doesn't mean you play video games all the time.
and i have a job too. you can have a job and be a no lifer. in fact alot of no lifers are people who are over worked and simply dont have free time because of it .

ps you are in the *lucky* category.

but that is the beauty of that line of thought , no matter what you say i can warp the definition to label you either a no lifer or lucky.


i can say you got lucky drops that you sold to aquire your wealth,
i can say you got the kaoms as a drop and that is lucky (which technically it is , getting even one 10+ exa drop puts a person squarly in luckyville)
i can say that you still have more total play time than most people even if you dont play more than say an hour or 2 a day. (though if you play an hour or 2 a day then you do play much more than alot of people)

it goes on and on

I love trying to predict the future patch metas!

-STUN WILL BE CHANGED TO STILL ALLOW MOVEMENT BUT TO CANCEL AND BLOCK ALL ATTACKS OR SPELLS FOR SHORT PERIOD, this will reduce desync hugely for everyone and make the game an overall better experience

-Blocking calculation will be redone. Most likely move to a % mitigation to total damage blocked calculated by total % block and armor rather then just 100% avoided.

-Aegis aurora will get a max proc per second nerf

-spectral throw will get a small nerf, most likely attack speed, other common low level spells (not attacks) will be tuned mana and damage wise at below gem level 10 to round out leveling experience.


-Lightning spells tuned and balanced to compete with fire + cold

-Vaal pact changed to include add -90% modifier to life recovery speed from flasks, No active life regen but all life regen % converted to life steal for all attacks.

-Cast on crit will allow only one linked spell gem to fire (any linked one at random)

-Cast on damage taken with allow only one linked spell gem to fire at random (any linked one at random)

-Mana regen without clarity buffed, clarity modified to balance

-Bringer of rain innate gem bonus levels halfed (retroactive on all uniques)

-1 shot mechanics on all bosses outside maps timing will be increased slightly.

-snap shotting removed (especially regarding minions) and skills that depended on it just to be competitive ie RF;are to be buffed at higher levels. Perhaps allowing weapons in secondary weapon slots to have some smaller affect to active running spells or attacks.

-crafting buffs to allow better chance for 5 and 6 links, and more recipes to craft specific affix + suffixes on blue weapons and armor at any item level using skill gems, orbs of augmentation and white or 1 affix-suffix items.
for eg, using a red gem, 5 orbs of augmentation and a white weapon provides a damage % or flat damage mod to be added. where a blue gem adds cast speed-speed damage or spell crit. green adds crit, attack speed etc.

only allowing this on blues help solo or self found crafters craft self usable items while still keeping high end rare crafting in place.

-offline trading put into place with Buy it now option available for any other user at any time to purchase item at that exact currency cost. (may put 2 or 3 BIN costs options in for different currencies)

Added best offer option to allow players to bid on an item below Buy it now price by placing currency up into a temporary Best offer tab for a short period. If seller likes best offer he accepts within time limit and trade is sent to remove only tabs in bank.

Sadly, they themselves said they're raking in the money quite well. So even while voting with your wallet is noble, it won't change their mind.
It's their design vision or nothing.

Linking is not influenced by item level or type.

May I ask how many fuses you have used? Ever since the buff to 5 linking it should be taking an average 80 fuses with 50 being the lowend and 110 being highend.

Albeit in caps, this is the smartest thing in this entire thread.
