Just my 2 cents.

WOW really tons of people playing scion aura stack atm.. its WAY OP if it doesn't get nerfed for next league I will loose all hope and respect for GGG lul!

cause they farmed big time to make it work? why not let them have their fun. it's not exactly league starter friendly anyways.

do you really think they farmed for it? or they did that other thing....

not all i'm sure :P but some people are really great at making money:P not me sadly but yeah can't blame me for not wanting to deal with trading in poe.

They will probably just remove mana reserve corruption on jewels. Once that is done, it brings the OP builds well and truly back in line. Either that or make that particular corruption far harder to get.

How BIG is the nerf bat gonna be for aura stacking you think?

I think they will lower the % effect of auras from tree and medium cluster jewels so you will have to use 3 voices jewels to reach what people can do now with just 4 medium jewels .

I agree, I think a change to aura effect might be incoming.

I kinda expect some changes to aura cluster jewels to make decent ones harder to get and raise the entry barrier for those builds. Personally i wouldn't mind if they go untouched. The builds start at 40-50 EX and to become really crazy we are talking about 400-500 EX. I honestly don't mind it if people who spent this much time on the game get their god mode at the end of it. And the "low budget" versions aren't all that amazing.

all they needed to do was to make it so cluster jewel notables didn't stack. they chose not to do that, and problems persist

of course whether you think its a problem is subjectional overall. i personally don't give a fuck

i also think a build that can't even function before spending hundreds of exalts is already a failure, so i actually see these aura stacking builds are failed builds.

I don' understand how you can classify a build as failed because of currency cost. Hell these days people just use real money and buy the damn exalts they can't farm. GGG always talks of balance... aura stacking seems outside of this idea. Makes it look like pay to win.

Getting a strong build for high investment is part of good balance. What would be the point of even farming that much if there were no really strong builds waiting to be used? RMT is a problem i guess but they can't base balance decisions on the fact that people might be able to get gear via RMT.

I get your point, it would suck if there weren't ANY strong builds. But at the same time aura stacker is way beyond most "strong" builds.
