SPARK MANA COST AFTER PATCH

I fuckin' don't understand people. At first they cry that Spark is OP and PoE 2 is only about one button builds like Spark and when Spark got nerfed they cry again because it was nerfed. Like... what?

Fireball is RiP. The cost of Mana make unplayable gear
Ice Wall is RiP same thing...

Yah, I have 1646 hours in POE2, I lost about 2k in mana with this patch, no big deal. The mana cost to cast spark with half the number of sparks kills this build. This was how I wanted to play. I remember about 3-4 years ago in POE1 when they nerfed the gems, that only had 3-4 levels, and the last things I was working on was getting them to 5 or 6 by corrupting them. They came out with this patch that made my cyclone build unusable from a mana (or whatever the barbarian thing was called). I quit, never been back. GGG you can't kill builds, some people like and want to continue using that, you can scale stuff back, but don't absolutely kill it. I now with spark went from 393k damage to about 40k, and my mana runs out almost immediately and it used to keep up with my casting, and I have half the sparks.

You should build other builds up, WTF are you thinking? why not keep some people already liking your game, and add others in the liking your game category, every time you update.

I dont mind nerfs, I would very much like them to nerf overpowered/broken builds/skills 1 week into the league, and not wait 4 months.

What they did with spark stormweaver is not a nerf, it is straight out murder, I don't think it is even remotely playable now.

Nobody did any calculations on those "balance changes" same way as nobody counted that conduit scaling dealing 24460 more dmg is alright, or temporalis making blink instant cast with no cd is balanced.

If it is horrible on 4-5 mirror gear, that only exists in 0.1 version, what will be in 0.2 on new "balanced" gear. :D

We are entering some diablo 4 big brain balancing zone.

I suspect GGG's contempt for the players and nerfing everything will backfire. But ultimately the player numbers will be the referendum as to whether or not GGG is vindicated. We just have to wait and see.

the word "nerf" means to make something less powerful, not to make something entirely useless

exactly. my spark also rip, alt+f4'ed game.
