Why Atziri's Acuity is actually balanced! (For those who don't know game balancing)

@IlyaK1986
Something something make the game easy enough for me to hold right click to finish the game.

"It should be that it's easier for the stuff to kill you that you don't just mow down in 1 second"

So you started your argument telling that if you lack proper defenses and have focused too much on your offense;
you should be killed by mobs rather than your own attack against reflect.

Sentences later, you forget about it and cried getting one shot or killed when you don't have sufficient defense against mobs :

"Whether it's a mob that can one-shot you or chunk you through a combination of desync, super-hard-hitting attack"

you seem to have completely forgot about your roll in playing the game , there are lots of tools that you can use in every dangerous situation. There are immortal call, flasks , end charges , vaal aura gems and many non-build related mechanics that you are supposed to utilize them.

while I still think the item was and is a clusterfuck, I agree that this quick and dirty solution basically makes it less unbalanced

still,

there are a lot of things Im willing to let devs slide on in PoE. some things are beyond control, some are product of attempts at balance, some are engine limitations, etc etc

letting items that are so obviously op that someone who plays the game very casually can see why and how at first glance, in the game, is something that I will never understand.

Im not even asking for dota2 balance, but just no stupidly powerful one-sided uniques at least. while you can buff/nerf skill or passives, uniques stay legacy in perma leagues and overall its much tougher for people to let go of their fav item than gem or passive.

this doesnt include crown of eyes, whose power wasnt realized right away imo and it was an interesting item...at the very least I can maaybe see the intention- that it was an interesting item for specialized builds (at first)

however, an item like acuity is fucking stupid from any design point, and especially from PoE unique design standpoint.

Atziris Acuity isnt blanced, where is the instant leech uniqe for RT builds?

Wheres the op <insert anything> for non-crit builds

I think they will nerf gloves.They nerf auras, spectral throw, mana reservation nodes and so, cause of these broken low life builds.
I think is not fair compared to buzzsaw and summonner builds that will be nerfed to the ground!!!

Shavronne's Wrappings.

That chest is arguably the most OP enabler in the game. Works for all low-life builds, crit or not.

Balancing by scarcity is legit. Almost nobody will have them in the temporary leagues, while in Standard league you have an infinite amount of time to farm them if you really want them.

Yes because I am a donkey that likes to farm infinite amount of time. I don't have problem with people having acuity, they have worked hard to get it (well ya, at least some people worked hard). but when it comes to group play (which is probably the only way to sustain a map pool) nobody wants a 10k dps char when they can invite the guy with 250k dps. This INSANE gap is what really upsets me about the item.

well broken is still broken. u can't just 'fix' it by making it rare...
i think they should just change the mod to 'has vaal pact' or somthing. but it works for hp and mana. and buff vaal pact to like 60 maybe? glove will still be so powerful but not OP and broken, with literally no drawbacks like it is now. the glove saves you like 10points from getting that vaal pact and also has high stats on it. with my suggestion and no drawbacks, i think that will make it more balanced, well to the point where both sides can deal with it at least. but hey that's just my honest opinion on the situation.

Noone will have in temp leagues? Atziri will be farmed in week or two. Uber in a month.
