I logged in only to say: thank you GGG!

Patch, despite nerf fest, looks icreadibly good. I guess that it would bring us closer to the GGG`s vision of PoE2, something completely different from PoE1, what bought me from the first look into it.

For me it`s a massive win, I feel very hyped for possibilities to work with new builds, even though they wont be one-tap builds.

I can understand any decrease in the strength of the characters, but I can’t understand the removal of the inner circle of sockets in the skill tree. Who could have thought that this was a good idea ??? We are lvling characters above 90 for the sake of them, we kill bosses only to get unique jewels that will help to carry out a thin tuning of the build. This change affects the significance of unique jewels, trade relations, the desire to pass content and the desire to increase the character level.
Some of these changes make it doubt the understanding of your own mechanisms for building a character. We, players, put time in the character so that our idea gains strength. We play not to spend more time in the game, just because, and make single good build that left. We play to make our idea real and see the result in game. To only reduce character power, make game boring and less variable, this is bad idea!!!

if grenades are really nerfed though, go ahead and ban me,

Jesus people are dense LOL, man before complaning how about playing the thing before reaching any conclusions? Its possible they had to nerf all this because of the new stuff that is coming to balance things better, to flatten the curve in cruel acts and end game, its also possible they f*ked up.

Anyway i prefer they do such patches in EA to tune things to perfection than to be overconservative because their player base wants to play the same build all over again while again in EARLY ACCESS.

Stagnation is the enemy of progression boys, if you are not ready, dont sign up for beta, early access or whatever you wanna call it.

The boss is invincible when changing phases, so what about the player's defense?

Well to be honest, they HAD to do something about the 20mil+ dps builds, so maybe this was the only way; to crash and burn everything now, so that things can go better in the future.

It's just weird to see nerfs in something like Arc, which didn't really even work at basic citadel bosses (and it was too slow for hordes of mobs coming out of breaches). Unless you went similar to the basic archmage/MoM spark build, in which case you would be better off just playing that anyway.

Also if monster density and speed is not drastically lowered, I'm having hard time seeing how anyone can survive anything now, and that was already problem with all builds being glass cannon builds. Now everything will be more glass and less cannon.

20mil lol? who cares about these insignificant puny builds? there are INFINITE dps builds, doing BILLIONS of dps, with bugged interactions when the frost walls were treated as ENEMIES and MONSTERS and wall destruction was triggerign monster ON DEATH effects, and then wall explosions were buffing each other to infinity with just 1ex boots... killing pinnacle bosses in 1s.

these nerfes are not strong enough to address some meta builds, like spark is still gonna be OP
