Why GC miner deserves nerf?

Case 1. PerkyPsycho is able to trivialise end game becouse he has godly gear worth 100+ exalteds. He earned it by investing hours in playing the game, crafting and trading. His efforts are rewarded.

Case 2. PerkyPsycho is able to trivialise end game becouse he spent 5ex in gearing his GC miner.


Notice the difference please.

Case 2 should be -> PerkyPsycho is able to finish end game content in reasonable amount of time becouse he spent 5ex in gearing his GC miner. He will be able to trivialise it if he invests 100+ exalteds in his gear.

I love these moronic posts.

Liftingbro put out a video of him clearing all content in a 52c budget build. I guess nerf everything.

There is no problem if budget build is able to clear all content. Problem is when some build one shots everything on a budget.

The thing is it doesn't matter. I couldn't care less if X build that costs 1 alteration 1 shots Uber Elder, if that is the type of game play that player enjoy, all the power to them. Some builds just require less currency investment to be insanely powerful, it's just the nature of the game.

Of course it matters. There's no point in theorycrafting a build when it's literally all too simple to pick a budget build that can shit on the entire game.

There's no point in minmaxing a setup when the essence of a build is getting hp/resis above a preferred minimum and maxing out dps with everything else. Oh but maxing out dps doesn't even matter, because the result with a half-baked build is still the same as with a minmaxed one: everything dies instantly. Only difference is that t16 bosses take like 10-30 seconds longer to die.

The major downside is you need to play a mine build.

Good luck fighting with the hive mind. Also good luck with swimming upstream, because once you've played the game for long enough you'll notice that you're being manipulated into playing particular builds unless you want to play something simply for the sake of being unique.

Case in point: post 3.0 dot builds.

The main reason why I went on hiatus during this league was not simply because I recognized the league would be a failure before it even started, it's because nothing had changed much with builds. Skills need to be completely re-balanced, otherwise build diversity will continue to be horrible. Some people seem to enjoy playing the same handful of builds every league though...

People here are exagerating. It's like those kids from global talking about their 10 million shaper dps builds with abyssus at gear they don't even have. Getting lvl 21 GC all gems 20/20 and a 4 empower + taste of hate + 6 link + jewels to scale damage + a good weapon to increase phys conversion + decent shield with enough life to not get oneshotted etc etc. Truly one shotting endgame bosses takes at least 10 ex or more. Doing that damage and still remaining mobile and tanky 20ex+.

Miners don't have the huge QoL that other classes have not to say they cannot leech and their regen even with the new nodes is not so strong due to the low max hp of shadows in general.

GC mines is like 1-2 patches ago. Sure still works good but old. There a a couple handfulls of builds which do that anyway and much more fun than fuckin mines lol.

1 question. Why do you care? This is non competitive game. You play only for yourself. Nobody is forcing you to play this build if you dont want to. Are you jealous? You must be. I dont see any other reason why it would bother you so much. Lets say they will nerf it to oblivion, than you will cry for another build to be nerfed. There will always be something on top, something to cry about.
