" Don't give up just yet. Players here know what they're doing and they will adapt. On temp leagues, everyone starts from zero, and as soon as people see final patch notes and tree, it will take no more than 5 minutes for people to find the next burn prolif, the next broken mechanic, the next unbalanced skill and people will simply plan their builds for that skill/mechanic and every smart player will play it. On permanent leagues, it's a different ballgame. Changes break existing builds, all the grind you did to farm currency for a certain item may be for nothing. If I was one of the guys who paid 80ex for Crown of Eyes only to see it nerfed, I'd just close the client, uninstall the game and be done with it. We may face something like this yet, for example, if GGG really is introducing new higher tier mods for items. Honestly, if I played the temporary leagues, I wouldn't give a shit about balancing. I would just figure out what the most broken build is in the current patch, play it and exploit the crap out of GGG's bad balancing. Repeat the same thing every single patch. If you play the temporary leagues, what's happening right now is not a disaster. It's an opportunity for you to find and play the next OP build, while some players keep trying to make the new shit EB work, with whatever shit skill that used to be legit in 1.3 such as, oh say, Incinerate.. 177 Last edited by toyotatundra#0800 on Apr 20, 2015, 5:35:09 AM

Promotes improving build diversity...nerfs everything in patch and kill off some popular builds. Lol, hate to jump to conclusions but some mechanics like EB was even fucked with and I don't see whats wrong with EB tbh as when I tried caster witch with 4k HP, 4.8k mana, MoM and level 26 AA I can't help but to notice that it still gets VERY frequent damage spikes thats almost a 1 shot and stuns that last a century from mobs. Too cheap for its cost? Ugh. I don't even know why I'm still appalled by this balance team since they've been doing this ever since I can remember playing PoE. But oh well, its beta stuff. Lets see how they mash it up.

Keep em' distracted talking about the changes and they won't notice.
There is no comfort in the unfamiliar.
There is no adventure in the familiar. |

" With this setup you get near immune to tittybitches and voidbears, which is apparently soooo OP it needs a whole rework of mechanics. You still needed to invest heavily in manaregen on the tree and on gear. To be near immune to tittybitches & voidebears. While everything else still hits like a truck... When night falls

How do you understand the armor change? I don't really know if it's to be interpretated as "monster have more armor" or "armor calculation is changed globally", meaning armor buff. Thoughts?

" You kidding? Arctic Armour mitigates so goddam much damage. They even reduced the amount of flat damage it mitigates, and it's still OP as shit. I really don't think investing heavily in mana regen on the tree is much of a problem when you're basically immune to phys and fire damage, if you don't stand in place. You make my ochinchin go doki doki.

" AA only mitigates small physical hits. Charging Rhoas and Guards, Evangelists, Kole and other heavy physical damage mobs still hit like a truck. Which is due to you having almost no armour, since you have to wear ES gear to achieve a high enough manaregen to maintain a high level (20+) AA. edit: I´m talking about the physical damage output in level 77+ maps.

" This is plain wrong. Even with AA at level 25 and boosted with inner force, you still take a lot of damage on any maps above around 73. Calling it immunity just shows you haven't actually used it. You also need at least 300+ mana regen to even use that by the way.

" AA mitigates very well lots of small hits (voidbears, titybitches, squirrels...) and does almost nothing for big hits. The same as armor. "basically immune to phys and fire damage" = lol, sry When night falls
