Vaal Immortal Call for Permanent Immortality in Standard - Time to fix mechanical abuse in 3.16

Okay, agree, it's not a exploit, it's an undesirable mechanic.

The whole point is, in the current state of Standard, people can make an immortal character with incredibly high dps for nearly 300ex (replica farrul's is not even needed), which outperforms by far most of the mirror-tier builds out there. With such mechanic available, what's the point of trying other builds? This is going to kill Standard economy if it's not addressed correctly.

No one is asking to destroy every single build that builds around vaal skills, not at all. It's all about vaal IC.

There is no exploit here, all mechanics are working as intended, this is literally just ggg letting legacy gems in the game that should have either been reworked or removed.

However i think in 3.16 they will most likely either rework the gem, disabled it or not care at all since this is standard we're talking about.

It's a good 50/50 that this will get removed or stay

Maybe exploit is a polarizing word becuase people tend to understand or associate different things with it like hacks or something.

Its an unintended abuse of game mechanics which for me in Path of Exile is equivalent of an exploit.

I remember Chris Wilson saying in one of the recent Podcasts that the GGG wants to remove unintended mechanics. And it was said in the past that immortality is not intended in Path of Exile at all.

We can just hope 3.16 will show consistency with Vaal Immortal Call so it gets reworked to no longer be able to provide permanent immortality.

Just seen this on YT and remembered this post, nice build...
