Path of Exile 3.16 Balance - Part 3 - Auras, Curses and Elemental Damage Over Time

Community feels very divided around this and it is a toxic discussion around aura topic. But i still want to express my opinion in the matter.

Every league i do one build i want to do and farm with that then i switch over to an aurabot to help my friends improve their builds and farming in higher end content. I am not a pro and i dont get richer then about a total of 60ex total worth in a league in about 500+ hours spend and an aura bot isnt cheap or super easy to optimise and stack up what you need to get more then decent effects. and most of the stuff you have to craft urself.

And I almost have to spend all that i earned into the build and scrap my other to afford it. I like to play support char i every other game that i can, support is my thing support is my role to help others, and it was a big part in this end game for me. now its sadly very very negated. because top 1% is abusing the system with full party's. This is in my opinion another change that is hitting lower base of players more then top 1% much like the support gem.

If they do full party now i asume they can have optimise 2-3 auras each and make them better then normal = running full party as they will, they will still benefit of full auras and curses now as before.

Can we have more than 100% aura efficency?

OH, that's not good! Eve Online was the most toxic game I ever played!

I am pretty sure it was never intended that single character could run all this auras, doesn't matter how much currency it costs. currency acquisition isn't big of a deal for non-casual player. That archetype just reached a point where it got really out of hand, eventho it was in past too. Delirium just offered new highs for those players, which shouldn't have been allowed a first place. 100% delirium maps are a currency printing at this point with full party. Also if anyone thinks that 10 mirror is a lot in standard I have to break your bubble, it is not.

Lol so it was ok for like 8 years of the game and it suddenly isn't?

At that point you got to either admit you are very bad at design or that this is a core feature of the game and you should pay more attention to its rework than hur dur lets give it a hack job that ignores:

ALL THE MECHANICS THAT ARE DEPENDANT ON THE NUMBER OF AURAS YOU HAVE

THE GUARDIAN ASCENDANCY THEY KEPT NERFING BECAUSE THESE ARCHETYPES WERE 'OP'

THE STRENGTH OF ALL AURAS WHICH THEY KEPT MOANING COULD NOT BE BUFFED BECAUSE THESE ARCHETYPES WERE 'OP'

ALT QUALITY GEMS NERFED INTO THE GROUND BECAUSE THESE ARHETYPES WERE 'OP'

Taking a moment to look past the largest instance of player investment devaluing that GGG is going to do in the history of the game, how can I not be angry that so much is being taken away and nothing is being done about the issues that apparently were waiting for just this kind of change?

Okay thanks bro

So i did some math, ill have 8 aura + vitality/clarity/precision at lvl 1+ and 1 banner.

So from 300% increased aura effect to 100%
So from 15 aura 1 banner to 11 aura 1 banner.

Still gtg if alt quality is back to what it was during heist.

MOaaar complicated mess...

How I see pogger crowds reacts to every league nerf



How I see game status since 3.15



Now I can yeet off to FFXIV and I can say goodbye to this mess when new expansion comes in November.

League looks very promising with all those changes and buffs, meta will change again, and as always plenty of op builds to play with.

Ignore the same haters as always, they just want to faceroll the game, they dont and wont understand how this game is meant to be played.

Thank you GGG for doing what is neccessary for the balance of the game.
This is why I buy supporter packs.
