“Deal with it”

This comment made by Mark of ggg is really disappointing. It feels disrespectful to be addressed this way from someone who would like me to purchase supporter packs. What did I do to deserve to be treated like shit?

I feel pretty targeted by some of these changes. They hit very close to home, on my particular builds that are very niche.

QOL nerfs, soulthirst nerf, instant cast warcry... What? Why any of this?

It's not the first time they changed or adjusted some things and it won't be the last time. So yea, just deal with it.

GGG realized they can do whatever they want.

POE is among the top arpg in the market and is also known as the best arpg in the market for many.

theyre one step away from just saying suck it

out of the millions of players poe has had over the last 11 years im not sure why mark singled out you 2 in particular to nerf and call out in the interview rather than just balancing the game and making a tongue in cheek comment to the entire playerbase.


thank god he didnt single out me, im not sure i could have delt with it.

Here's a thought: maybe, just maybe, NOBODY is being singled out because the entire point of the game is coming up with new build(s) every 3 months. Like... the league hasn't even started yet. You don't HAVE to play one of the nerfed skills, literally nobody is making you.

Now I am interested, what was the comment or where is it located? :)

Personally, I really like that they finally thought about how tedious is it to prepare every map and attempted to simplify it. Currency stack size increase and trade window move hotkey were also long overdue needed changes.

But LMB nerf is such a 3head move that it successfully offsets the positivity. They've made a replacement mastery for miners, what about item skills that cannot be supported by gems? Or skills from passive nodes?

I don't think you need to look very far from the apple tree to find the influence causing this behavior.

I want so badly to call it out because its so obvious but support likes to dish out month+ bans if you talk about those specific individuals even if it didn't violate the code of conduct.

Sometimes there will be changes to skills and/or items that will invalidate some builds.

Deal with it.

It's not disrespectful. It's the reality of a game whose balance constantly shifts with seasonal updates.

There are no instant skills that are given by items/passives other than Bone Offering, which was removed.

Could you please explain the intended use of this automation support? Not a trolling, I really don't understand why the hell would I want to use it.

Movement skills like frostblink have no need for automation unless you try to use it as damaging skill, and that cooldown penalty is crippling for damaging skill.

Guard skills: if I had second gem slot free, I'd have used CWDT instead, it is way more effective. Those skills already have worst uptime in the game, even before new reduced cooldown recovery from automation.

Vortex was nerfed, no longer an instant skill.

Corrupting fever and blood rage can be extended without recasting.

Withering step and phase run look like the only candidates, if you can spend extra slot :shrug:
