Beastiary nerfs are catering to the 1%

I can't see how a cheap 6l good base is useless

like honestly you guys need to realise that this is the exact type of shit they nerfed it to fix, its the fact you think a 6l 6 white merciless / T0 axe is a normal starting point for a craft.

The split is gonna be to clone a base you don't intend to do some god tier imprinting strat on once, that is still extremely valuable for some base types and the fact that they can't be industrially produced actually makes those things more valuable for random players finding the beast than it was previously.

I totally agree with nerf to “printing” t1 bases, merciless flaring stuff had to go, this was just too much. But I do not support nerfing base splitting. I firmly believe that “split” status should go away on scouring the item. No one sane will actually use split beast on anything worth splitting. I don’t know how you are crafting, but first thing you do after getting a base you make yourself a copy of it and you work on the copy, having a backup of stuff goes sideways. Now it’s a total disaster because you will not be able to actually make your own copy without making your crafting impossible as you will not be able to imprint your alt spam.

This is just more and more of gambling on top of gambling followed by exalt slamming with eyes closed. Every single player will have to acquire a base, quality it, link it and likely ruin it, without being able to have a backup. Tell me, how good does it do to average player?

I don't think i've ever imprinted an item, there isn't a point unless you are trying to create a near perfect item that requires a specific prefix/suffix combo to be so

The supply of such beasts is restricted enough on HC that you wouldn't have enough to ever plan on it anyway so no i craft shit the more vanilla way :p

Still i feel like you think split is the same as mirrored it doesn't, just means it can't be split again i'd expect imprint to work.

Also you can't mention imprinting items and the average player they are literally at opposite ends of the spectrum, the average Poe player won't know which beast imprints nor what it does, imprinting is a problem restricted to the 1%.

This printing mechanic was left unchecked for too long as it was clearly abused to great extent.

Since when should a 6-link become so easily obtainable? Items should be hard to get, though the game should focus a little bit more on people finding their own stuff from the monsters they slay.


Also this imprinting mechanic became a Mobutu style mirror printing machine for the ruling cartels and all kinds of shady practices associated with them.
