THE END OF CLUSTER JEWELS

GGG - Cluster Jewels need to go.

There is a vast passive tree ready to have skills allocated. Yet every league since Delirium, everyone races with their first character to get cluster jewels and then put all their points into them.

Look on any website with builds or even POE forums where people post builds, they all include Cluster jewels. It is the only way for people to get the crazy amount of damage they are getting.

The massive passive tree should be enough for anyone to play the game. It's time for GGG to fix it.

Get rid of the cluster jewels.

reserved

reserved for additions.

the only way cluster jewels will go is if they improve mastery system drastically or integrate cluster jewel passives into the "end node"

even then players would be unhappy as they spend tons of exalts to "perfect" their cluster jewel.

i would prefer if GGG improved their base passive trees in a way that cluster jewels become less prominant

That's not true at all.

I don't race, and almost all the cluster jewels I've picked up have gone into the stash... and just sat there.

I'll probably never be that person rolling in exalts, but I've come to accept that for me to play that efficiently I'd lose interest and just do other things.

But, I can also 36-40 a league if I want to. And given that my 40/40 was in delirium, I'm just not seeing the issue. I also miss my budget herald stacker, you know when when clusters could do some really impressive things.

Now, they just tend to offer an alternative because the tree doesn't always offer a worthwhile solution.

Also, the passive tree is enough to play the game - I managed to take down all elderslayers at 60% quant without a single cluster. Granted, its a variant of the meta popular league starter, but I also didn't go out of my way to gear her either, and she actually has better gear now then when i ran that fight.

But really, don't set your expectations by what you see the streamers do.

Just make the passive tree even bigger to push the cluster jewel sockets further off so players do not get to spam multiples of it.
I do not support removing it entirely even if it is overpowered because it is a very original mechanic not seen in other games that makes POE one of a kind.

agreed. even delirium should go. lag fest need to stop.

Here Here.

+1 from me.

Quite often a i get a build and the first thing i do is copy the end game tree to "NoClusters", then rebuild it using PoB's "Show Node Power".

Quite often the results are suitably similar, without the expense.


As with all crafting in PoE, there are too many options to craft these top end jewels your self. Trade has made some things so expensive it is out of reach.

Absolutly not. We need tohave less power on pessive tree because PoE is about knowing how to gut gear. I know many pros who can actully earn 2-3 exalt per map it's EZ.If you want it eazy remember that in beta PoE was much more harder.

Professional players alredy have not enough chase goals, if casuals get to have everything theirs no challenge after 1 week we see massive drop of playerbase, when all the str4eamers live and people lose interest in watching professonal playing.

Make it harder to lvl past 90 or remove casual mode leagues, retention is bestest then. Clujster jewels need to be weighted so that getting best mods is something yuo EARN. You dont need HH to beat harderst content in the game.

Also iwant to ad that you can buy supercheap most cluster jeweks. A good player makes about 25%margin if they know howto buy and sell, i have made THOUNSANDS of trades and it should be more like 40-50 exalt a keynode jewel and bis like mirror. 25% x say250 trades an hour u get somuch profit it is riduclous. Pro market traders win 25 exalt a day not ewen sweating, if u know what you are doing. You can basicly chaos roll closed eyes 20 ex jewel no problmem and profit 15% all good players know. PoE is all about market-economy.
