Revert back the pledge of hands change, you ruined it GGG

[referencing the before video]

I'm always in awe and shock when I see gamers play a game that quite clearly was never meant to be played in the way that I see a completely broken and totally terrible way of playing something.

GGG need to tidy the image of their game first before they tidy the image of their finance direction.

That video needs to look like a Cospri's crit trigger build and not what I can only describe as a perversion of gameplay and an enjoyment of being an anchor to the titanic.

Strange considering I'm pretty sure he is refering to your link on page 2.

So how do this feedback forum work? Does the post need to get like 100 pages of replies in order to get a response from a staff member, or does that almost never happen? Or do they only reply to reddit threads with 3k upvotes?

Honestly I wasn't expecting a response, because most players probably don't care. I'd be interested in knowing what it takes to get a response, though.

I don't want a response, I want a revert :)

At least animation cancelling. Not being able to abort casting and not even being able to change shot direction (!) during 3 casts (because you have to get spell echo on top to make it worthwile), is unbearable.

The last thing that keeps me hanging on to the staff is the mana - Mind Over Matter. Damage on Taryn's Shiver is better now.

Used to be a Pledge of Hands SRS summoner, they nerf SRS and they nerf Pledge of Hands, while they try to promote active cast play style and steer away from those auto cast shit, they nerf the best active cast skill and weapon, GGG get your shxts together.

Long story short, i demand a revert!

I've always been a fan of the pledge for a number of self-cast builds but mostly SRS for the ease of use, Unleash is wonderful as well in the recent update but i tested the new pledge myself today with an unleash spark nova setup and it was absolutely disgusting how slow it is after unleash is finished with its spam.

I've not tested it with high cast speed setups perhaps this mitigates the slowness that people are speaking of but i definitely agree that they should have left the old one alone it wasn't hurting anything as far as i could see.

Can anyone comment on the cast speed versus the present slowness of greater spell echo?

I recently purchased a perfect roll pledge and used a fated connections to 6link it, Not very happy if i go back on standard and its like the one i tested in Legion today, If so I've got an 8ex decorative staff ill never use again, Well probably more like 2ex now LOL.

"You killed my build, fix it". How original.
No, it doesn't work this way. Rework your char or make new one.

The only GGG staff that reads their official game forum are mods and those usually react only to breaches of Code of Conduct.
The rest of GGG staff utterly ignores this forum and reads/replies to only hot reddit threads, as you guessed.

It seems to me they didn't kill just one build but any build using this specific unique item.
Can't judge for myself though, I have never used the one Pledge in my stash.

It wasn't a very interesting unique to begin with imo.

Objectively, it has always been just a rare staff with a spell damage roll and some mana, topped off with a "7L" potential for a spell build. There are many weapons like this, really not that special.

After the change, it's actually unique in that it provides a support gem found nowhere else.

Personally, didn't use it then, probably won't use it now, whole arsenal of other options, don't really care.
