How to slow down the Clear-Speed Meta

With anything related to slowing clear speed I agree, so +1 for me.

welp. you just opened a pandora's box.

reflect won't work anyway. it'll only pigeonhole speedrunners to totem/trap builds.


And chaos damage.

There is no knowledge
That is not power
Everyone would play elementalist and slayer.
Harvest sucks! But look at my decked out gear two weeks in!

One way to slow the meta is to make all enemies release tar :) Remember that Act 1 area that used to have enemies that produced Tar? Everyone loved it!

According to your join dote you weren't even around for the old reflect aura. But surely you know better then people playing this game for many many years.


The old reflect aura doesn't fit with the things added to this game, like farshot, nerfing of ondars, ect.


Bow characters aren't even really the fastest clearspeed anyway. When is the last time you saw a bow gorge speedrun clear? I saw like a 1 min coc shield charge clear last week.


"only the people that don't want to die reflect would play the classes that essentially make you immune to it"

Great fucking logic.

People would be forced to 'think' proper strategy. Just because you have a poor understanding of the game mechanics in PoE, it doesn't mean that the game should be dumbed down mechanically to suit.

The AoE + glass cannon speed meta needs to be toned down. It's time for the return of reflect.
I agree, the clear speed meta is getting quite annoying, Reflect should be turned back into an aura as others have said, so those guys just zooming through as fast as possible without looking at anything can once again one shot themselves on large packs, thus forcing them to slow down a tad and actually look at monster modifiers.
People of the gutters, steel your bellies, for the slaughter is at hand!
