75% less flask charges is insane

" Have cleared all of the hardest content in the game on trash characters without any flask use (necromancer, ez). Have cleared all bosses in the game with default attack build or 1 link (slow but not impossible (except atizi + maven [Removed by Support] You want 1 character to be able to do all content? Make one for bossing, and one for mapping, and switch. The game is easy. If I can build a league character and kill uber elder, maven, and catarina with a 4-link setup, and you struggle with 6 links, you're playing wrong. I don't know what to tell you other than get good. It's serious because the game is not hard. Gear makes it more comfortable, but the mechanics don't prevent any fight from being lost except in extreme situations (aul, deep delve, etc). Craft the maps around your build, and do the content you're able to do until you can get good enough to do it all. Make your own builds, and understand the mechanics, skill tree, and items.

Flask changes alone I am happy with. Overall balance shift I am fearful for, as always, but we will see.
While I did a few flask dependent builds in the past I try to minimize reliance on flasks precisely because I hate straining my hand and the alternative is against TOS. So why I am happy with nerfs to the playstyle I don't enjoy? The answer is simple. Because single broken mechanic can cover up for major balance design flaws. If with the flasks nerfed game turns out to be far less playable it just means that there are other problems beneath this layer. Game should be playable with or without heavy flasks usage. Like with map mods disabling regen, reflecting damage, or nerfing resists - game might be harder but shouldn't be unplayable. Though now that I think about flasks nerf and no-regen mod.... well, I can't say I expect GGG to think this far ahead but I hope it will get fixed fast if need be. |

Um...isnt that the entire point?
I think you'll still be able to invest in charges gained on medium clusters and in the ranger area. Plus, I think once the balance manifesto is out, there might be no great defensive utility flasks left for people to want to spam them. Basalt flask got crushed, for example. There's just going to be a more pronounced shift to defensive things imo. Ensuring cry, endurance charges, ailment duration, non-trivial amounts of evasion and armour. And crit builds that are in that ~50% crit sweet breakpoint area...might want to consider using focus craft on their belt to supplement their diamond flask. |

I'm gonna post these here. We did several endgame fights with maven on awakening 9 and all that good stuff.
We're using our normal gear. We are using 1 link on our skill gems doing ~ 1-2m dps each. We're not using any dps flasks. We're by no means experts at any of these fights, but with a little practice it became easier each time. We were able to even do shaper+maven and normal elder+maven with auto attack (no skill) https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1091275936 Shaper-Maven https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1091276427 Atziri-Maven https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1091276836 UberElder-Maven https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1091277189 Cortex-Maven Sales/Services/Stuff: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2495490 Last edited by Friagram#6685 on Jul 19, 2021, 3:42:44 AM

" Except I played the game and bought it myself, with my own currency. Anyway, 1-2mdps is 1-2m dps. FFS watch the shaper video and just see how long it takes us to kill the trash before facing shaper. You could get much better dps than I am outputting with a death's opus and a 5 link. A budget bow build will easily net you 10m+ dps. Hell, builds with elemental hit will land you 30-50m with little investment. Perhaps this is the problem. You kids think the gear makes you good, and it doesn't. Even with my zomgallmirrortiergier, atziri still 1 shots me. You have to dodge the stuff. I could just normally kill her in 1 barrage before she does a single attack and bypass the entire fight, which is stupid. Sales/Services/Stuff:
