Why GGG_Neon promote the PERMA freeze mobs and bosses?

Three players in a party, each with level 1 Decoy Totem, encounter a boss:

All three drop their decoy and create a triangle around the boss.

Due to constant barrage of Taunt from three directions boss cannot determine a target for long enough to initiate an attack. Totem may need to be recast in the event boss does get one attack through.

AI is AI, and all AI reacts to Taunt in exactly the same way.

Understand mechanics and you can trivialize content, just like the FM+EP+CP+ACD crew has.

Unless the original argument was that FM+EP is broken for solo play, which, even after all these pages, I am pretty sure it was not.

Group play is the single strongest trivializing force in the game. By the logic of the posts that want to nerf FM+EP we need to also nerf group play.

Nerf town portals and kiting as well, along with run speed, LoS objects, and slow scouting of potentially dangerous areas.

freeze is a mechanic of the game. taking away a feature of the game for a few whiners that havent taken advantage of that mechanic is stupid.

Few people keep secret vendor recipes for ages, make tons of orbs with it, GGG is happy about it even if it give those few people knowing the secrets a net advantages in ladder races because of the wealth advantages they get form it.

I see those builds exploits to be the same. If it s ok for a few to have an advantage in wealth with secrets recipes, I can t understand why it is not ok to get advantages by using carefully constructed builds.

There is a line between good, properly-constructed build and stupidly overpowered build/mechanics.

Do you think Cast on Death summons require clever build? Nah, summoners axisted and were viable lond before that gem. Implementing it actually TRIPLED their DPS output.

Do you think freeze mine + ele prolife requires investments? Nah, just 4-L is enough and any build can afford that. In return, it make any boss incapable to do anything other from dropping loot. Wow, how interesting. Sorry, but i play computer games because they are interesting. If a game provides you with silly mechanics to bypass challenge, then it's a bad game.
Do you think this OP shit is first in ARPG games? NAH. Here are examples:
Diablo3. Wizards with almost no life, great regen and Force Armor could be practically invincible because no hit can damage them for more than 35% life. It worked AS INTENDED, but blizzard soon fixed it.
Titan Quest. Endgame character can have 100% block chance and zero block cooldown, therefore being invincible to most mobs (same to Aegis Aurora in PoE). Stupid and overpowered.
Hellgate London. Burn doing 5% of enemy's max HP per second. Any boss, even with gazillion HP, dies in 20 seconds (of kiting).

Having all those shit makes bad game. Removing it makes game more interesting for player community.

You enjoy playing imbalanced games? Why are you playing PoE then? There are DOZENS of games with shitty bugs, imbalances, stuff OP as fuck, etc, etc, etc. Try playing Sacred / Sacred 2, you'll understand what i mean there.

- this is how you balanced your game GGG? Nice end-game content.

What do you expect from poor game design?

Instead of a clever AI you get One Shot gearcheck mechanics.

And since then Freezing+Elem Profilation and Blind gems are a MUST if you don't fit the gearcheck.

Really what kind of design is this a level 100 getting killed by a level 80 mob?

And then the devs wonder why even among the MMORPG players, players are leaving.

PoE is about to become a 2k player and 30-50 of Top 100 game again.


And even it gets fixed at some point crafting sucks and there still isn't a risk reward.
