ggg for last 2 years buffed everything (i know youll point out voltaxic and some other stuff i know) - it is not an accident that we do 10-20 times more the damage players did in 1.0

you can buff all you like when your game has linear scaling. poe has both linear and exponential. once you mix these two YOU CANNOT buff at will because relative impact of these two scaling method will go wild

currently poe is already way overtuned with %more multipliers.


and the CI vs life. most players have no clue about the game they are playing because they do not need to. CI + vaal pact is a braindead solution for coach potatoes. you stack damage and some buffer and you are set. i understand why people like it so much - it requires ZERO thought. but poe, before we got 20x multiplier to our damage worked fine with defences we had - armor, evasion, block/dodge. but these look bad (to general populace) because CI+VP is just miles better. remove this cancer and youll value stuff that left more. otherwise these non-CI+VP mechanics can be as well as removed. see. build diversity can be obtained by removing stuff - but some are so worried that they will be 'weaker'. but it is all relative. there will be faaaar more B-class options while A-class options will get removed. this means.. hold on.. more A-class options because this is now the top-power-level.
