Kaom's heart has been overnerfed
" Koams is a bigger nerf, yes, but that does not make Shavs a small one. The thing with Shav, is you cannot nerf the item because it's main function is either yes, or no. Not an amount. It either stops chaos damage, or doesn't. It's not an adjustable value. IF removed, the item is effectively worthless. Koam was simply a value change. EDIT* It is also significantly easier to stack life than ES, which is another reason Koam was so over powered. You raise base HP by gear AND Strength/Strength nodes. You can only raise base ES by gear. Int gives 2% for a 10 node, but 2% of nothing is nothing. It is also much easier in many applications; leech, regen, etc. Where if you want any of that, you have to spend several passives to reach particular nodes which allow it. Due to all the factors like these, a gain of 500 ES is actually a very big deal. Last edited by gr00grams#5298 on Feb 27, 2014, 7:22:53 PM

" for high level content ? I kinda doubt it ... SSF is not and will never be a standard for balance, it is not for people entitled to getting more without trading.

If kaoms gave 250hp, i would still use it over anything.

Why would you ever use a chest with only +250hp? Lightning coil already beats kaoms most of the time, let alone with that low of hp.

" Again, no even 500 ES isn't a big deal. Most of the time players won't even feel it, from 8k to 7.5K ES? Game fell apart? Spare us the drama, almost nothing happened. How exactly is life easier to stack than ES? From what I've seen, 1k Vaal Regalia's, 500+ shields, etc. hit 10k ES in no time. "You raise base HP by gear AND Strength/Strength nodes. You can only raise base ES by gear. Int gives 2% for a 10 node, but 2% of nothing is nothing." - Hilarious... yes you do raise both life and ES by gear, attributes and nodes. In both cases you need base life/ES, the more the merrier. |

"In before "one click spam," "no strategic depth," etc. I mean, it's wrong, but it's coming. When Stephen Colbert was killed by HYDRA's Project Insight in 2014, the comedy world lost a hero. Since his life model decoy isn't up to the task, please do not mistake my performance as political discussion. I'm just doing what Steve would have wanted.

" You do not understand. I cannot make you. A % increase on a value of 0 is 0. You cannot raise base without gear or discipline. I cannot explain that any simpler. Go take every int node, and wear no ES on gear. Tell me how much ES total you have. It is incredibly easier to stack life than ES. Raising life can be absolute with nothing else asides the skill tree. This was no doubt done to facilitate melee/CC builds, and keep casters in the 'squishy' status. What is 50% of zero? 0*.5 = ??? This is not a debatable topic, or one for opinion. It is what it is. I am not going to go beyond this post. This is not a debatable topic. Math is right or wrong, not 'Well I think it's this...'.
