Stop acting so entitled. ggg didn't make the game solely for you and make their decisions with you in mind.

You just seem to be drama baiting as it is cause there is no point in writing on forums about a game that you no longer play.

Hardly acting entitled. The fact is, Smoke mine did fix minion movement which IS the most basic of things, and now it's back to Commodore64 methods when it comes to handling your army, hence my reason to quit the game.

And to answer your ridiculous claim that I'm drama baiting, if you mind my posts don't read them. The fact I dropped PoE doesn't make my opinion less valid than yours. And if there are any rage-like undertones, it is because up until now I enjoyed very much the ability to play the summoner in pure necro-style, with minions doing the tanking/dpsing, and I only read the many complaints on the forums about GGG's patching methods, but now I've tasted them first hand and thus felt kind of sore that my summoner got chopped up into pieces by those very same patching methods.

And like BoswerLK just said, from a freedom-filled ARPG PoE is shaping up to be more and more of a railroaded-pigeonholed-styled game, like D3... which is why personally I did not, and will not waste money on their ridiculous expansion either.

Wow...

Everyone calm the fuck down lol. Its been a day since the patch whats done is done. Everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion but, Lets keep this thread clean and about helping fellow summoners with various tips/advice/questions/ect.

Thanks...

p.s. Blizzard buffed the crap out of the witch doctor pet style(CHD scaling) so there is that haha =). Am giving poe a rest and see what happens down the road.

Edit: This Build and summoners in general is still more than viable quirks and all. But smoke mine control will be thoroughly missed.

Have you seen the amount of summoner-specific nerfs these last few patches alone have included? It's frustrating and ridiculous. Furthermore, if they uninstalled the game because it is no longer any fun to them then good on 'em for knowing when enough is enough for themselves. You still enjoy playing your summoner, good on you, too. Not everyone feels that way, though and some of us are only interested in playing a summoner build we like (and some feel is being destroyed patch by patch).[/quote]

Yes, I uninstalled the game. It's not so much because of the Smoke Mine, but because of the trend that seems to be taking place here. I can chew on some of the retarded and illogical nerfs, but not something that breaks the game. See, it's simple: Minion AI is broken > Smoke Mine fixed it > GGG killed the Smoke Mine > Minion-Necro-Style summoner is dead. Have you tried mapping, only to have your Spectres/Zombies die in another room while not even defending themselves, and then you gotta waste one... two... or more portals to go and resummon them? So in short:

1. Instead of finding work-arounds on the game's ancient engine, GGG breaks the game even further, starting from the most basic of things: MOVEMENT.
2. After playing for 2 months, my fiance and I loved the game and the freedoms in character creation it seemed to offer, so to proceed further we planned on expanding our stashes substantially. Had we already spent on our accounts I'd literally feel cheated out of my money for a game marketed as a sandbox-like ARPG of sort, only to be denied the ability to use my minions properly without having to run 5 rooms back so that they all get on top of me, or keep counting them as sheep throughout the session and casting curses so they don't wander off, instead of focusing on the game itself.
3. I won't play any game just for the sake of playing it, free or not. The little frustrations due to grittiness of PoE is ok and I like that. But frustration over the most basic of things such as simply moving around is not how I plan to spend what little free time I have. So yes uninstall, rather than watch GGG ruin the experience and play a game which cannot execute the simplest of things.[/quote]

Did read the whole. .and doing the same.. stating that summoner are still strong.. idc... they are now NOT fun to play using my playstyle..no more elaborated tactic.. it s just annoying..no more lovely multi exalts funny guardian...just embrace the run 3 room to regroup. . Com.e back..attack..run out until you go out of flask.. not fun for me.

The railroadind trend isnt good, broking a workarround without providing another way..nerfing creativity and diversity.. no..no..no. ono no!

They really should ad a tick box to the uninstaller then it will be easier to tick--> you broke it one time too much tuen ill uninstall and quit

Played in merciless docks earlier and all my evangelists died to standard mix of yellow mobs... I think its is fair that we stop calling them Undying Evangelists... They die all the time now.

I'm having trouble deciding what ranged specter I should use after the evangelist nerf. I have a level 21 hatred with maxed out increased effect of aura nodes so I want to use a specter with a ranged physical attack. The tentacle miscreation has a 50% physical 50% fire attack and the plummed chimeral doesn't attack that often.

Should I just give up on physical ranged specters and use flame sentinels? Will these guys out dps the best ranged physical specters even with the hatred aura?

Not understanding how you guys are having trouble, evangelist AI is designed to be in the back they rarely get hit unless u run past mob packs and leave them behind. Once you flesh offering your zombies are front line and should agroo almost everything.

Physical spell is still by far the highest dps you can have. Mobs have no mitigation against that damage type.

Its its bothering you drop minion damage for increased duration

hey matt, if you wanna put empower for your zombies, which gem would you take out?

Either remote mine if u want to keep your AOE

other wise drop splash for more single target dps

hey guys,

Any possibility of one of you end game summoners explaining what maps / mods will allow my Level 20 Desecrate gem a chance to spawn Undying Evangelists.. just white mob corpses.

I have been able to find them twice with desecrate, in a temple map and a Colonnade map which unlike the temple i think had a map mod of Monster Variety i believe.. But i am looking for a way to get some sort of a system down where I can horde a certain map type, or a specific map mod roll, so each day before I start mapping, I can round up my higher level specters.

Major props to anyone who can detail a simple way to find em in higher end maps!

cheers

just bumping this question. Which Mob-type are the evangelists. There was a "trick" with BM's where you'd roll the mod "is inhabited by demons" but i dont know anything bout the evangelists.
