Why GGG_Neon promote the PERMA freeze mobs and bosses?

bosses are easy as fk, pls buff bosses. Freezing bosses just because they go down twice as fast. Kappa

Please don't nerf freezing in general as I only use a cold trap which does actual damage and is good at keeping ranged in check but can't freeze big bosses. If they must nerf just make bosses immune to freeze mine. Problem solved and I guess no one will play those maps anymore? I still don't blame anyone, even early maps can't be very unbalanced.

Don't nerf pulse any more ffs.

at least don't nerf it much!

Pulse barely damages things, requires high mana and cast rate
and crit and I generally double resist curse bosses to keep em
froze... I dedicate my entire build to freezing the dudes.

I sacrifice copious DPS to keep things frozen., I sacrifice
defenses to keep things frozen... freezing _IS_ my defense.

I don't block, I crit. I don't withstand I crit. I cant outrun
I crit.

If someone wanted to nerf freeze duration they better step up
my DPS, I don't have enough regret orbs people.

The funny thing is, there are players who never come to the forums or post much and have known about this since the start of time. I personally don't think everyone who complains have actually tired this. Also, is this game suppose to be "stack dps only" I find it a bit distasteful for the sudden roar and frenzy because someone on a stream started using something the minority knew about all along.

When dual totems where around, I never used it. I had the option to use it but felt it was too boring. Back when totems where used I asked the same question... "what impact does it have on your gameplay personally?". So far no one has managed to answer that. Freezemine works lovely with flame blast. If it was so broken, how come I have not made it to level 90+ and sitting on millions of mirrors? Is this game on a hunt to forever find the next thing and have it changed? Who are we balancing things for? If they remove freeze mine will the next person sleep better? I'm actually done now for the last time stating my feelings on these trends. All one can do now is go back to the list of gems and play around with new combinations, pray that a streamer doesn't blow the whistle on anything else deemed too powerful by those who where not aware of it from the start. And trust me, this has been around forever... it's been discovered and now you see the results.

If we talking about temporary leagues and "competitive" element (lol), then most efficient build wins. And this build (actually team play: freezer + DPSers) proove to be more than effective than others. So if you want to win, you forced to play as others or bring something better. So yes it affects you. Its like why everyone played Spork -> nice dps + safe. Guess who is first lvl 100 on HC?

Mark my words, a nerf is coming.

Agreed, but GGG please wait till I'm done having fun abusing it.

After New Years, maybe?

I think u will have more time than that till the nurf bat hits it so exploit it while u can i supose , BORING !!!!

My thoughts -

The guy who made the FM/EP thing famous is the same guy responsible for buffing shock and horror. I'm yet to see someone who gets real experience from a 72 map do that boss as a melee without FM/EP. So if they are balancing around FM/EP, it is sort of fucked up.

If this is not a problem, why the need for heavy nerfs to RF, SPARK, CURSES, THUNDERFIST, etc, etc. And where were the people who are defending FM/EP at when they were nerfing those things to the ground?
