Reminder: Resolute Technique still provides minimal value over non-RT builds ever since Acc buff.

ya for sure, if they rework the drop system then who knows right? they could absolutely keep iiq as a thing depending on how they go about it.

were not gonna see anything until 4.0 lands, were making our cases and lets be honest, everyone in this thread who is disagreeing on things, regardless of what they think, theyre all in agreement that crit is seriously overpowered, no ones even attempting to defend how insane it is. that says it all really, and i think they know it.


i dunno if u guys ever watched the ziggy, pohx and zeno podcasts way back, i think this quote came from an episode where chris went on. they told him crit was op, and were talking many many years ago. he asked them how many people they thought were playing crit, they said about 90%, and he said right, so if we nerf crit were nerfing 90% of peoples builds so we have to be very careful with how we approach that sort of change.

hes right man, you know people, any little insignificant nerf and the floods of tears come in, im never supporting again, u killed my build, f u guys omg... its mayhem. id argue that ok, but if u know it needs done u could at least have it on the whiteboard in the office to remind everyone not to add anything new to the game that increases the problem you know you have that you are already scared to fix, you have control of not adding tailwind on crit etc to the game, no ones quitting because you didnt add something they never knew was a thing to start with. but ya, what do i know i guess.


4.0 is such a big moment tho, they can revamp the tree and so many systems at once that massive rebalances would be somewhat lost in the shakeup and i think they need to take that opportunity to do it. just go full on, make all those changes, to crit, make the changes u wanted to make to power/endurance/frenzy charges, do the full whack and lets bring this ship back on course.

You honestly expect that big shakeup to be on point and of good quality?

Crit is a problem? Here are your tailwind/elusive on crit boots!

If anything 4.0 will polatise the game more. With sh.. choices and win-choices being more aparent than ever. It is the same team after all who made current mines, who 'fixed' melee, who nerfed summoners and who till this day thinks that their mana solution is proper.

Im not hopeful.

I'm split halfway as we all know TencentGGG can actually solve the problems IF they deem it necessary.

Lets all remember that hope dies last and TencentGGG do miracles once in a blue moon - lockstep is a reality, and became a reality after everyone stoped hoping...

Sure, their current track record is abysmal at best, but they can turn it around, and PoE 2 aka 4.0 actually needs it, IF they hope to actually launch 5.0 too...
