Lots of hypocrisy and sneaky nerfs in the 3.15, it's not just 20-40% damage from supports

if you truly want it - take your Cleave 2h guy. equip one less support. drop all flasks. tell me how it went

im playing (kinda, actually enjoying the weather in post-pandemic world) Spectral Throw. so i play 3.15 in 3.14. and it is.. HORRID

the content is seriously balanced around current dps. incursions in t16 map with mob life? lol, no. forget about it.

cutting damage is fine - unless you keep dps checks in the game. then - it is meta or gtfo

I dont think the balance dude im charge is that daft. Would be horrible of course if it turns out this way but when chris says they tune other stuff down and buff melee up to be like it was before the gem nerfs as melee was gutted hardest by these changes due to the threshold that isnt passed anymore to feel decent then i tend to believe him.


first melee rework, bow rework, strike skills rework, second melee rework..

they kinda have bad track record tbh

I cant deny that track record i guess we will know how good the balancing job will be done in a few days.

Calm down double post. We can all see your edge from here.
To be honest I accept whichever direction they take the game.

What is unacceptable though, is shitty and boring league mechanics... such as where you have to place pylons (bombs), link them, wait for them to explode so a small monster pack can appear (be unearthed). Been here before, hated it.

Theme of the league is great, expeditions, and trades, collecting artifacts... but come one, be creative with league mechanics, it's not that hard.

F****** bomb planting
Affliction and Necropolis worst leagues ever. The current game design has slowly turned this game into a loot-shower fest, chase uniques are way too available; and obtaining chase items through stacked decks and valdo's boxes simply isn't fun.

Yeah, right, not playing that again anytime soon, it was awful and pointless :)

Almost as pointless as the thing I tried this league before I dropped it for performance issues. Turned out that adding cwc raging spirits to cyclone is shooting yourself in both feet despite sharing supports. I mean, you could see it all the way from pob, but it was somehow even worse than expected. Just remove SRS and whoosh you go, bone nova on that cleaver only failed to do anything useful, at least it did no harm. Well, at least not directly, it does lock you to an awful, awful weapon.
Wish the armchair developers would go back to developing armchairs.

ive seen people use this weapon as a pretty good bleed EQ stick. it makes sense - decent top damage + cheap as chips + slow doesnt matter

for any non-slam? i told you :)

wanna fun (and winnable) challenge? dual wielding elemental Cleave with temple swords (base or modified version - both are 'ok') but no abyssus. it is a fun, strong yet meme as hell

Yeah, it's a nice bleed stick, but the design makes no sense in that role, one hit and bleed out means you won't see the bone nova much. Actually, the whole theme of the weapon makes little sense, for nova you want to be in the middle of the pack and you want a fast followup hit after bleed, that says cyclone all over it, but cyclone isn't a premier bleed choice.

I'm not that hung up on cleave, the reason I started with it was mostly to see if the weapon feels too slow to use nowadays, but that isn't a bad idea, those swords are pretty meme :)

Hm, throwing a look at your supporter packs xavathos, i know whats going on with you.
Guess you will have much to do these days as the rant police bud


Oh, another one who knows me better than I know myself.
Damnit, where were all of you guys during my highschool days?


If you support the company that much and generally approving of the things they do - then it isn't really anyone knowing you better than you know yourself - you're just doing what people do when they are into something that much.

Either they go harder on it than others, or softer. You are not special and unique as you might assume.
Sounds pretty good, 40% less damage from gems gonna drop dps by about half, and flasks by another half. Tree and other stuff by another half.

Should be nice and slow.

Sorry for the rant folks. I'm disappointed. This wasn't PoE i've jumped into.
I'll give 3.15 a chance but i don't hold my hopes up.


You're disappointing yourself by jumping the gun. How about waiting for the actual patch notes or better yet, the actual patch itself and trying out the game in its new state and then judging it, so you can base your opinion on more than just one person sharing the tip of the iceberg in a stream?

This isn't helping anyone. You cannot provide feedback on something you haven't even tried yet, that's not how it works. Chris even said this himself in the stream, that he would like people to try it out and give constructive feedback, so they can see how to move forward with this. This isn't the way.


Can we please repost this in every thread?

Every time I play after massive nerfs (which has been many many times), the game was fine. It often sounds worse than it is and GGG have never made me feel like I can't trust them with this kind of thing. So wait. Play. Then give USEFUL feedback, not speculative feedback that doesn't help anyone.
