Aura Stacking Might Be Broken

i think they should make hardcaps for almost everything in the game, as they did it with elemental Resistances. Example, maximum Auras Players can have: 5, maximum Aura effect is 100%, maximum Curse effect, maximum critchance, attributes, etc. And also give us ways to increase these caps a bit, but not too much. This perevents players from abusind endless stacking mechanics which results in overpowerness.

i think players will find another way of stacking something to infinity, when Auras getting nerfed.

Yes, they did that in D3 when they capped MF in 2013, and it went great! All my MF gear went to trash.

Capping stuff like crit/effects/attributes, would only cap builds to a fixed power level (budget). The only difference between a 20 exalt build and a 10 mirrors build, would be the survivability.

Every single value/parameter MUST be hard capped.

i classify a build as failed because of currency cost because again, it cannot even operate until a certain investment. and that certain investment is probably out of the reach of 95%+ of players (complete guess btw).

Idk this is a silly description. Every build is failed until you put enough currency into it to be successful.

It would be like calling babies failed humans because they are future adolescents and potential adults. Like, this description wouldn't be wrong but it would really miss the point.

what i mean is, you can't start the league as an aura stacker. you can't do it as a first character. i hope you read the quote in context of the rest of my message.
your analogy isn't very comparable IMO.

You can definitely start the league as an aura stacker. Every aura stacker starts out as a normal selfcaster. You can farm for a shavs for the LL version and by the time you hit lv90 you should have the money to buy the shield and ammy and a couple starter cluster jewels and have enough passive points to convert straight into aura stacking.

corrected that for you

as you say, you CONVERT into aura stacking. precisely, you do.

You're just moving the goalposts. First you say aura stackers cant league start. Ok... but they can. Now anything that needs a "convert" is a failure of a build. By your logic every ci build is a failure because they need to "convert".

im not moving the goalposts. aura stacking builds can league start? so you league start stacking auras do ya

what i said was aura stacking builds cannot even function without insane investment. IMO leveling up and playing as something completely different then converting to a totally different build, IE aura stacker, is not "league starting" as an aura stacker.
but maybe by your logic all builds are aura stackers in their infancy because almost all builds use at least one aura

and no, not by my logic is every ci build a failure. you can convert to ci with any build. being ci isn't your build. so of course whatever build you're doing you can eventually convert it to CI
"what build are you playing?"
"oh, CI"

it isn't like im opposed to changes, but when you change key uniques, jewels, and entire skills....you're a different build.

The change to ci is more drastic than a regular build changing to a LL aurastacker. So again by your logic all ci builds also fail.

Oh btw aurastacker has more skill diversity than regular ci builds. So when you say "oh, ci", it's even more retarded to say "oh, aurastacker" if you ask him what skill he's playing.
