kaoms and shavronne nerf?

totem dominance is in your head only. In public party there are very few dual totem players.

My 2 cents. This game is ALL about OP items. If they take out OP items like this, I will be gone. The whole point of grinding a game like this is to become stupid powerful when you are done. Not moderatly more powerful. Not the same power as the Casual players. STUPIDLY OP.

Without that, why play the game for a month? I would beat it on normal, smile, and move on to the next game like I would any console game.

This....sorta. For the competitive aspect(ladders) they can disable them...as they have in the past if it's a huge issue and area of concern. Non-competitive leagues..why? Action RPGs are about killing shit and becoming extremely powerful in the game. Why take that away? The items in this game, by supporters and otherwise are what make this game. If they start taking away from that in the name of balance...well then it's like any other before it and the developers are like all others before who have either caved or given in to the belief that all should be created equal.

Clearly you do not play Hardcore/Onslaught.

its just not true that shavs is op!

RF tough is!

and regarding kaoms:

Is standard not still Path of Exile? Does it still not represent Path of Exile? If so then why would the devs want to completely disregard it? If its just a trash league then why not remove all challenge completely and let people do whatever the hell they want? lets just fill the game up with nothing but OP uniques and let people go nuts. I hope that doesn't sound fun to you because it doesn't sound fun to me either.

You can still do that regardless of a few OP uniques. The game still has crazy OP rares which is the purpose of rares anyway. To have the most dps and defense in the game. Uniques are there more as build enablers, to play in a different way to get power, or have to deal with a downside to get a unique effect. When uniques are also the most powerful in the game then that starts hampering the whole point rares are in the game. It also makes the game more boring as there are obvious right answers for your gear. Throw on unique X and your done and your not the same as everyone else with unique X that isn't even build defining. Soul Taker takes a dump on how many rare axes in the game? A lot.

IMO stupidly OP uniques hinders the longevity of your character. Once you pick up those uniques your character is done and that's it.

i love legacy uniques i think they are a great idea i hope in the near future more legacy uniques will invade sc and hc classic

guys play temp league only and you wont have a single issue with legay uniques those games are made for reroll and ladderplay not to j... off to one amazing char build over 10 month in a league which is basicly the dumping ground for all leagues

and to hell with the people who don't care for temporary leagues right? People who like to keep their characters to play whenever and continually make new ones. They may as well remove standard from the game if they care about it so little.

What solution do you recommend that won't anger at least some people?

Solution 1: Make current Kaoms a legacy item

Result: People who don't have one QQ and rage about how they don't have one, even though if life gets buffed, the "legacy" version will actually be stronger than the version in the current game.

Solution 2: Nerf all Kaoms, even current ones

Result: People who farmed hard to buy a Kaoms QQ and rage.

Any other ideas?

People are paying 50 or more exalts now per Kaom's Heart on SC. If they were to nerf all Kaom's, they could add an npc that would give people back what they paid for the Kaom's Heart before the update coming October 8th. Some people have spent an entire fortune that they farmed from the moment they started playing for these tems. There should be a middle ground to appease all sides and not just one. Of course if they are not going to do this for those who have invested so much time, then I say screw it... just make the old ones legacy. Anyways, yes, the current value is now 50 +... it's getting crazy now.

Yea a very simple one. Buff HP on regular chest to fall inline with ES making Kaom's less OP without changing it at all.
