Removing Statsticks

Hey, is this an out of season April Fool's joke?
From what I can see, totem builds are fairly dead.

Can't summon 4 totems strategically spread. Have to summon them next to each other.

Major DPS hit losing +1 totems (getting it back from gear is a DPS nerf due to having to take an inferior item with the +1 totem modifier, unless there is a SIGNIFICANT veiled mod combo that adds this)

Listen GGG....totems die A LOT. The only thing that even makes them work is spreading them out.

What IDIOT thought forcing us to place 2 at a time next to each other was even possibly a good idea.
Just tested, if u replace yout average 470pdps sword and 4 mod statstick with 2 pandemonium sever u are basicly at same dps so it isnt that big nerf:))

I love how you jump to conclusions without knowing all the changes.

For all you know totems could get a higher healthpool/better resists or the gems that give those things now also offer offensive utility (kinda like CoC does now).

You see a small subset of the coming changes and go full salt'n tears without even knowing what else will change.

Your profile is public, and you don't have the "Diminishing Returns" achievement.

Don't lie. You have every right to not care about challenges, and to not have reached 90. But don't lie claiming you did. Don't lie saying you deleted the characters. It's not true.

And with that in mind, it makes it really hard to take you seriously in your criticism. Right now it seems you're mostly trying to express your opinion as enlightened truth by faking some sort of "street cred". No, you won't "fall back in ladder" because you're not playing competitively (And also because everybody else will be subjected to the same changes). It's perfectly okay, but don't pretend the contrary.

Be honest instead, say what you think, and if someone disagree, they'll say why. And maybe they'll prove you wrong and you'll progress, or maybe you'll be right and help others. But please, don't pretend to know more than what you actually know.

We have what we have now.
From this point totems now looks exactly like jaredh said. And even more dead.

What is the point of grinding gear if after each league you can throw it all away?


Well, for me the point of standard is research. Legacy items need to be clearly marked at the very least. Like auto foil or something plain so there's no chance of me actually selling a legacy or using one in a build.

But personally I'd prefer any balance changes to items be made retroactive like all other changes in the game. (I have skin in this game by the way, I have a couple juicy legacy items.)

I'd much rather auction all of it.
Too much censorship that you never even see. Totally removed posts and silenced accounts across all communities. https://www.youtube.com/@Innomen

Big logix man! Look at the good old scrub me who has never got past level 94 although I've played for 1.5 years. The challenges - man they are hard! I can farm 5 mirrors in 2 weeks but Challenges!?! Can't get past 25 in any league! Also look at me having not a single Gladiator although I've played Gladiator Reave for 6 leagues!
