GGGs difficult task to balance "overpowered" builds.

Whatever is nerfed now will be replaced by something that works the same in full release. Nerfs will stop/slow down when the game releases, stop trying to break the game in EA/beta when half the classes are missing. This is meant for testing, its not a full release with stuff set in stone.

There is an extremely simple solution to not needing to nerf builds: steal Last Epoch's boss damage resistance where a boss cannot take more damage per second than the amount devs want it to take, tuning the minimum time it takes for a player to achieve a kill.
You know, until someone finds a way to one-tap the boss and we're back to square one. |

" Um because nerfs are usually the very FIRST things to happen and takes precedent over everything else, especially if an update breaks something or causes something to become OP. We've all seen this a million times in PoE OG and I don't think that is going to change. I mean what would you want to fix first? A pipe that has a slow drip leak for a few monts or a front door that now wont close due to an upgrade to the frame you just put it, allowing your drunk "touchy" uncle (or anyone else) to waltz right in despite you being in your home or not? |

i dont see nerfing those build (and all other screen-wipe builds) as actual nerfs, but as fixing exploits. As the game were promising interesting fights, not "zoom-zoom vampire survivors 2".

1 tap a mob and kill the entire screen full of mobs with a chain reaction-like might be dopamine for many but I can't call that a balanced game (eg. ice shatter monk build). End game is supposed to be like that you say? Ok, when all the classes has that option to somehow 1 tap entire screen then sure, otherwise to be forced to play x class with y build in order to not be at dissadvantage is meh.

" Anyone who has gear 700 divines worth should be thoroughly investigated and every single person they have been in contact with in game. |

Here's part of the problem with the 700 divine setup argument... a big part of the reason the setup is 700 divine is because a) people can absolutely demolish the maps, causing inflation, and b) because this particular gear/build combo is OP so people want it and consequently are willing to pay a lot for it.
If stuff was balanced better, prices wouldn't be as high, and far more in reach for the common player. Short of it, when the reason for the "700 divine" cost is mostly due to demand, that's exactly why it needs to be touched. Last edited by Axterix13#5693 on Dec 30, 2024, 4:06:35 AM

You can make any build 1 tap the screen... with enough investment in it... lmfao noobs.

" +1 Nerfs are the easy way out. It's much better to enhance builds and skills that are lagging behind. And then finely tweak the OP META builds by changing the one or two things that make the build possible. Usually some Unique item like that Robe (forgot the name) which removes cooldowns. |
