wdym ? I bet you would not like that kind of gameplay with stance dancing anyway. Also, you did not even try that out, so why are you mad :D ?

Imagine wanting to press a button every second. 3600 presses per hour.
It's either people using autocast scripts or finger joint killing masochists.

it's unbelievable how you guys nerfed sabo for traps and mines when it wasnt even the best trap/mine class. trap builds have to take chain reaction for pyromaniac, but chain reaction isnt good for every trap build. mine builds have to take demolitions specialist for pyromaniac, but again, demolitions specialist is just dogshit. no one took it anyway. why would you ruin sabo like this? I don't get it. you HAVE to take pyromaniac for trap/mine sabo builds, but if I'm wasting 2 ascendancy points to allocate it, then I can just play trickster or something and take pyromaniac with forbiddens. what's the point of sabo?

there's simply no reason to play saboteur for something like lightning trap with these new nodes. what's with the ascendancy limitation obsession? you don't have to kill the existing archetypes to implement new ones.

pf received the same treatment too. why would you remove conversion and aoe? also happened to trickster and gladiator in the past. I love mostly everything about poe, but you guys never fail to amaze me with your awful ascendancy changes

elementalist was already stronger than sabo for traps, now it's not even close. seismic trap sabo will still be good, and it looks like you've only thought about seismic trap sabo when you made these changes

so please, at least connect explosives expert to pyromaniac. make it like deadeye's tree

After checking out the new pob.. sabo isn't as bad as I thought. It's still not great though because its a big nerf to any non-aoe based mines or traps. Also, Demolition expert is actually one of the strongest nodes for burst damage. 20 mines tossed =100 percent chance to do double damage with high impact mine support essentially making it a 60% more multi on full stacks for mines. I like the idea of trigger based ascendancies though, however; where is the synergy? traps and mines don't trigger anything, so for coc builds for example.. you get 2 notables but removed some useful damage mods for focused trappers and miners. So the argument about expanding build diversity by adding these "trigger" nodes is entirely flawed. Miners and trappers are now pushed to use aoe only based skills. Coc gets 2 notables while every other ascendancy will have more options and more damage in general. ????

It's a good change and has little to do with crybabies. The Adrenaline thing was unbalanced. There have been plenty of complaints about the game and that they changed this one shows that they hadn't considered all ramifications. Look at some of the interactions Adrenaline has, for example with the Ascendancies, and you'll see it's broken, not good. It is a shame that they first take some of our movement stuff away and I am NOT a fan of the general slowdown of the game. But I would like the onslaught back and general movement speed buffs. Not this broken adrenaline bs. That is like trying to fix your car with strapping a bomb to the back and hope it blows up in the right direction.
