Aura Stacking Might Be Broken
|
Why so much hate? Aura stacking can make any skill playable, end game viable.

crit makes any skill playable and end game viable already :p that niche is fulfilled

"Which works great with Precision / Zealotry! |
|
" So people enjoying the build, do not see anything wrong with that. Good thing about aurastacker is that you can scale it almost indefinitely, up to 15+ mirrors, and I would like to be able to scale other builds like that instead of destroying aurastacker. |

" By your logic, what do you think of the alternative that GGG buffs ALL and every other builds by atleast 400% effectiveness both in damage and defense and ability to scale with 15+ mirrors to equalize the builds and enable them to have same amount of 'fun' like aurastackers? Game would become a shitshow if that happens. It wouldn't even be a 'game' anymore, just a walking & currency gathering simulator. Admit it, you're just defending aurastacking because most likely that you're playing one, and benefitting from it's broken powerlevel and infinite scalings. Ask yourself this: -If aurastackers are having 'fun' with OP character with infinite scaling is a legit thing, why can't other builds be too? -Why is 'fun' exclusive to 1 specific build? -Why is a game famous for its deep & highly complex system of skill tree, skills gem combinations & gears that has hundreds of builds & playstyles and infinite amount of niche self-created builds, has to boil down to only 1 single viable 'fun' build?

" No, not this league, I don't quite like Heist mechanic to play that much, and Atlas is very bad either this league. Even in the next league I plan to play fire BV assassin I guess, since it could have explosions without 2+ mirror nebulis, and feels fun too. I just found it fascinating that you can improve that build to 15+ mirrors. Like voices alone could be up to 7.5, the nebulis with explosions is around 3 and then there are good rares, double corrupted rings and alt quality auras, don't forget about medium jewels 40ex+ per piece. " Define "benefit". If that's currency, then you don't really need aurastacker to clear fractured blueprints nor to farm deep delve. If that's fun, then nothing wrong with playing fun build. " This and following questions are legit, however like I said I want every build to have some kind of legit mirror+ scaling. You can destroy aurastacker, or you can provide other builds with options to improve, I prefer second option. Aurastacker is quite fine. Staying in Sirus storms etc. is available in very high investment level, and most of aurastackers that I saw could easily die in Infused Beachhead to some random monsters. Not to say that staying in Sirus' storm is more of meme value than real, since after Sirus' nerf those storms doing nothing. |

" I agree. GGG should consider either one of two actions: 1. Nerfing Aurastacker to the ground, therefore equalize the playingfield across the builds. Or 2. Massively buffs ALL other builds so they can compete with aurastacker in someway and allow them to scale with multiple mirrors of investment. Im fine either way. |
|
" Judging by patch history of PoE GGG certainly did not buff everything up to be at the level of Herald Aura Stackers. Instead it was nerfed. The otherway around makes no sense to make the game into walking simulator shit show. So its option 1. |
|
"It's not one single build. There are multiple builds using same mechanics. Yes, this league is more efficient to scale auras then minion damage, or any kind of damage. |

personaly i belive there has to be a trade, either one can push aura effectivness to extreme levels but limited to 1-2 auras or be able to stack lots of weaker auras, Being able to stack lots of super strong auras is plain broken regardless of the entry cost of said build.
cluster jewels giving 6% + 25-35% increased effect per small node is simply to much without a drawback, Given the scarcity of "increaced aura effect" mods in the skill tree this nodes should be much lower. Idealy it should be of 2 or 3% with a new mod that push it to 7-10% but olso comes with a 3-5% increace in mana reservation of aura skills. self found league fan http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/324242/page/1 Last edited by caboom#7201 on Nov 26, 2020, 6:55:19 AM
