Development Manifesto - Path of Nerfs - Forum

These changes all seem pretty solid and make sense to me. Excited for the patch notes tomorrow. My supporter items: Victario's Charity and The Forsaken	Posted by Mokihiki on Dec 4, 2017, 7:01:47 PM Quote this Post

I don't understand why the plight of the top racers, i.e. the people who do this for a living, would impact your decision so heavily. That seems like such a poor decision.

I've always wanted to push for 100 but never can. Looks like i'll be getting level 90 again. The reason so many people leveled so fast in the league was because there were 10 breaches per area...

The exp changes seem insane :( I guess I'm never getting that 100, other than that I don't mind.	Posted by grimperson on Dec 4, 2017, 7:02:28 PM Quote this Post
" Tessman wrote: I'm very curious as to what the intent of the Rise of the Phoenix nerf is. It's mentioned in the explanation that it's ' too easy to max out fire resistance', but some napkin math suggests that the risk/reward for running RF is getting a little bit close to side of 'scary'. The life is nice, but the flat regen is hilarious. If max fire resistance is the annoying part, why not but % life regen on it as compensation? That said, I've not done anything other than the most trivial of theorycrafting - maybe this isn't too big of a deal. Ive made a dual wield trickster with no RoTP at all(well, I had it on weapon swap along with ichimonji). if you do a MoM variant and have a recovery rate multiplier as well as good mana regen, you don't even need RoTP, really.

" Chris wrote: Vaal Pact Keystone Being able to leech instantly meant that many threats were completely mitigated by high-damage fast-hitting characters with minimal leech investment. Vaal Pact has been changed to no longer grant instant leech, but instead doubles your character's leech rate and maximum leech rate. This was one of the most heavily-requested nerfs in the history of Path of Exile. Gee, I wonder why it was so popular. Probably because unavoidable and severely high amounts of burst damage is what the game has always been "balanced" around. Maybe if you'd actually even out damage sources, people wouldn't feel obligated to build into VP so often... guess it doesn't matter now, since you have expertly "fixed" it after years of it being an issue. (2-3-2019) Buff underused skills (3.23?!)+ selfcast, stop nerfing defense, build in threshold jewels (3.23?!), implement D3-style looting, add death log + MTX preview, actually rework flasks, stop balancing around the .01%, unnerf Harvest, ADD NEW WAYS TO LEVEL, finally implement Loot 2.0	Posted by Ashriel on Dec 4, 2017, 7:02:31 PM Quote this Post
Slayer untouched? Really? Do you guys even test your changes on every spec or just on some? Slay Vaal pact builds will flood everything. and vaal pact will be still the reason why it is op.. and fucking sunder not nerfed? did you even watch some races? sunder is way to op and way to easy to scale for leveling. I HATE it and still using it, because its just broken. Last edited by Moritonel on Dec 4, 2017, 7:06:06 PM	Posted by Moritonel on Dec 4, 2017, 7:02:40 PM Quote this Post
