Are heralds reworked / nerfed for 0.2.0???

Is there any info if herald of ice/ lighting will be nerfed or reworked for 0.2.0?
Don't want to play more herald builds again. So far most skills ended up just triggering heralds.. surely GGG can see that and will change it?
Don't want to play new class and instead of triggering heralds with bow, you will just do same thing with spear.

Nobody is forcing you to play HOI - stop chasing FOMO.
It will get adjusted for sure, but something else will take its place and live rent free in your head unless you stop copy pasting overpowered builds.

You can play a classic character styles without Heralds.

Heralds will get an overhaul and will be ~70% less effective?

No reason to hyperventilate.

Play a Warrior with 2H.

How about instead of asking for something you don't want to play to be nerfed you instead ask for something you do like to play to be buffed?

Because that's no way to design a game.

You take skills/mechanics that trivialise everything with minimal effort input and shoot them in the head, instead of propagating that disease to everything else.

Otherwise you get a title that offers no pushback and no incentive to progress/get better gear/learn anything.

That is one of two major problems currently with poe2 (with multitudes of other smaller ones, which can be forgiven for now), namely the complete lack of any implementation of that philosophy.

Early access game balance is going to be all over the place - this needs to be addressed at a lot quicker pace than once every 4 months. ES stacking should've been nerfed to the ground 3 months ago, same goes for grim feast, hoi, evasion and archmage + mana stacking potency.

The second problem are map layouts and the complete reversal of 6 years of poe1 atlas iteration in player agency. It's okay to have some bad layouts if there is an actual incentive to run them and I can choose to forego it in order to run a map layout that doesn't cause me to want to poke my eyeballs out.

Otherwise we have a watered down diablo4-esque mindless pseudo mechanic with an illusion of choice.

Please make Choir of the storm jade actually work with necromantic talisman

I sold all my good pathfinder stuff and bought what I thought was an amazing end game minion build.

Only to find that choir doesn’t work with necromantic.

HoI + Trampletoes clears 5 screens worth of enemies in 1 hit. I dont want any build buffed to that point whether i use it or not.

Herald of poison dont work bro. I tried everything with crossbow to kill a poisoned enemy. Also tried injecting the herald of thunder with poison gem but not trigger the effect. So whats the point of nerfing something that is broken??? First need to fix the bugs and then see if they need nerfing.

Also bow players killing bosses in 1,5 sec with bow and you telling me that herald skills need nerfing!

They need to fix the balance between classes and weapons. Crossbow needs a huge buff and also Warrior's weapons and some passive skills need to rework.

herald skills need to work with totems, unaccaptable that i as a str stack totem titan can only have 2 auras and still have enough room for a 3th aura but nothing works with totems!
