Herald of ice is to strong

Please nerf Herald of Ice, its clearing potential is to strong.

Currently feels like every popular build is incorporating Herald of Ice with the Polcirkeln unique ring for easy explosions. This is making endgame builds pretty stale.

This also makes ascendancies like the Witchhunter's Zealous Inquisition feel even worse than they already are by comparison.

Sure, it's actually so garbage that compared to spark build, i keep dying but sure let's nerf more

They will nuke this to the ground. Don't worry.

This stream of people demanding skills they’re not using to be nerfed rather than pointing out why their own skills should be buffed is comical

GGG know which skills are being abused, it’s basically what they’ve done for years is look for the top 1% and how they’re doing it.

I am using it right now. It's just stupid how strong it is.
They are shit about balancing. What is this nonsense.

Herald of Ice has always been a staple wherever it even remotely makes sense, simce PoE1.

It's not that it's strong, it's that it's fun. People like explosions.

Trivializing the game isn't fun.

May not be fun to you, but to others, that is their fun, a lot of times these games offer a simple power fantasy and people love pushing the boundaries to see just how far they can take their character.

Numbers and screen clear ARE the fun to a lot of folks.

It´s literally the point of the game, get stronger and stronger until you feel like a god a trivialize the game, you could argue that it shouldnt be this easy to do it, im of the same opinion, but if you invest in your build you should be able to trivialize the game except pinnacle bosses (wich tier 3 and 4 versions should be buffed alot, making the way more resistant to ailments and giving them way more life/toughness).

They almost always nerf anything even remotely fun into the ground, so it'll come. GGG has been afflicted with nerfitis for years now. Only recent exception is poe1 melee rework.
