The Purity / New Elemental Aura Changes

Clarity? Manapots? Who needs this shit?
physical dudes just leech like a boss ;-p
Honestly,

I like that GGG want to nerv/balance purity, but i think this is the wrong way to do it - don't get me wrong here, a nerf i good, but it actuelly makes solo-play much harder now and it is a big nerv for solo players at all.
Partys are good to go, because they can manage their auras so that all members reciev a big buff to their resistances AND +% to max resist.

So in fact with this patch - party play got a big indirect buff and solo play got nerfed (again :()


Comming up next:
- nerf to damage over time effects (especially ignite)
- nerf to cast on damage taken
- nerf to reduced mana support gem
- nerf to spectral throw
- and so on



The best ARPGs I played were ones where the skills and game remained the same from release day until the day I stopped playing them many years later.

PoE is just another MMORPG now.

+1


Yeah game got worse because there is rebalancing on a broken gem.YEY!!lets +1 this and become more idiotic with statements like this!yey!


The logical ways to balance this shit was to make :

"
Purity= +1 max resist each 4 levels for a max of 5( keep 40% reserve)
Purity of Fire= +30 resist with a +1 each level (mana reserve of 20%)
Purity of cold= +30 resist with a +1 each level (mana reserve of 20%)
Purity of lightning= +30 resist with a +1 each level (mana reserve of 20%)


or

"
Purity= +1 max resist each 4 levels for a max of 5( keep 40% reserve)
Purity of Fire= +30 resist with a +1 each level & +10% fire damage with a +2 per level scaling(mana reserve of 40%)
Purity of cold= +30 resist with a +1 each level & +10% cold damage with a +2 per level scaling(mana reserve of 40%)
Purity of lightning= +30 resist with a +1 each level & +10% lightning damage with a +2 per level scaling (mana reserve of 40%)

Purity gains chaos resistance
To all resistances
instead of
to all elemental resistances
ZiggyD is the Labyrinth of streamers, some like it, some dont, but GGG will make sure to push it down ur throat to make you like it

hm, i'll still be using purity since im a summoner and can't give up a gem slot for minion resist, so will probably still be using purity (my own resists are capped w/o purity) and running a specific aura (probably fire resist) in addition.

the new auras will only be worthwhile if they provide a decent max resist, nobody will use them for the soft resist bonus when you could just swap a ring or something instead.
Honestly, this purity change is just going to make Elemental Adaptation look really good now. Even Saffell's Frame is going to be looked in a different light. Heaven forbid, if Aegis Aurora becomes even more expensive with these upcoming changes.
Sometimes you can take the game out of the garage but you can't take the garage out of the game.

nerfing purity was an indirect nerf to aegis tank builds. going from 79 to 77 or 77 to 75 res vs piety margera is going to hurt.

They will intake more ele spell damage with this change, but it will not change blocking. Blocking builds are essentially one of the most powerful builds in the game. Aegis Aurora is pretty much the forefront of it all when you have like 1k+ ES along with your 4k+ life, 10k+ armor, and 60%+ chance to block attacks/spells.




I am just curious how players will find another way around this change. :P

honestly im shocked they havent nerfed aegis yet. there is no other build that lets you take 6 of piety's balls to face.

My guess after purity nerf:
codt nerf
aegis nerf
additional aura nerfs
additional unique nerfs

Hi

why do you GGG nerfed purity or other things? I will not play in groups i will come home and enjoy soloing level 77 78 maps alone. It would be nice if you change that or what is the reason? Why you change all the time skills etc do you have any other reason to get more money for reskilling?

ps:if those players who are crying that purity is to strong let them play in a league which the are alone with other players and dont nerf us who wants to play a quick game it is not a competition.

and now you change the possibility to drop more higher maps very cool i use a lot of 77 maps alone and nothing nice drop do i get the maps back :-( no i hope you will stop those negative changes for players who will play alone
