No eva buff ? Not nerfing stat stacking builds ?

No armour buff
No eva buff , eva get destroyed by slam s and aoe strike left and right

Stat stacking is still the strongest meta charms still locked behind a belt
Ingenuity still the OP belt .
What a great trade off let's switch for rare belt for extra two charms insted of doubling the ring stats pff

The meta for defense is not gonna change at all
And the meta for dmg building gonna remain the same .
Take hands of wisdom stack dex +int take Pillar and so on ...

Also why not add 6 portals permanent? Why ? Who likes running whit 1 life ?
It's an arpg ! Not a survive game!

Example of a new meta build ?
Stat stacking mana stacking spear build wohooo best survivability mechanic

Example of another build
Stat stacking huntress whit 3 rings + Ingenuity +hand of wisdom stacking dex int wohooo top dps build ...

And why is everyone ignoring the constant deaths while playing eva builds from random aoes and slams ?even the devil seem to ignore this , everyone knows it dog S , and ignores it .

By buffing ailments inflected by mobs u will not force people to remove Ingenuity just nerf Ingenuity itself .

maybe wait for the patch notes?

Calm down there Timmy

Wait for the patch notes. There not going to say all the nerfs and adjustments in the announcement. This is just for cool stuff they are adding to get hyped about.

Evasion is already incredibly strong lmao.

ES is just way overtuned.

And armor sucks, everyone already knows this including GGG.

Why would they buff evasion? who's even asking for that?

Evasion + ES is literally the META currently on survivability ESPECIALLY ON CRIT BLOOD MAGES ETC!........

Armour is literally the lowest tier choice in survivability RN....

I do, however, see how INGENUITY + Ritualist Passives like +1 Ring and 25% bonus to equipped jewelry is just a balance issue period. Almost no ascendancies are even close to as strong as these 2 points are! Even the new warrior armour passive is a horrible kiss/curse sacrificial/high investment style ascendancy in comparison to an entire additional equip slot + increased benefits from all jewelry that combos with one of the strongest belts in the game : InGENUITY.

Yep. The 3rd ring is insanely strong, but I think the "crafted" chest is cool too. There is a "20% increased strength" node you can choose, and probably other strong stuff.

Except for the fact that you have to trade your armour and invest an ascendancy passive for every single decent node on the warrior , as opposed to just GETTING AN EXTRA ITEM SLOT for one ascenancy point investment (2 if you count the small passive before it)......NTM the 25% bonus is enroute, so you arent even having to choose one path or the other!......

Ritualist is just hand over fist better per point spent- benefit yield over almost every ascendancy.....and WHO KNOWS what the small passives and other majors will end up being!?

I mean. Sure, an additional ring for 2 points is huge and probably better than most stuff ppl come up with, but the "craft your chest" isn't horrible.
For 2 points, you could select "20% increased strength" and "5% Life regen per second".
On top, you can still use body armour, but it has to be "normal" (not magic/rare/unique).
That does not exclude "corrupted". Get a good "base", then corrupt it for an implicit or extra rune slot. Sounds at least interesting to me.

At this point you might as well accept that ES is their intended way to play. It's overpowered and easy mode on PoE 1 and PoE 2. Their last major "nerf" and revamp to it in PoE 1 was like a decade ago by now and they clearly have gone back on it since by faaaar the best builds in PoE 1 are ES now. And now we have PoE 2 where ES is even easier to access and life doesn't exist on tree.

And what is the most noticeable previewed unique in 0.2? A body armor that gives ES and SOUL EATER. Lmao. They couldn't be more obvious if they tried.
