Guys don't be mad at all the nerfs in the patch notes.

diablo 2 is mentioned in 90% of threads. Never played it don't care to. The comaprisons are getting old.

Nerfs are good when they are well deserved. Snapshotting needs to be fixed. They did it to malachai mask they'll do it to snapshotting once they figure out how. I look forward to that.

Actually, a bunch of items were nerfed in d2 1.09. 08 valk, 08 tals armor, 08 shako, 08 vamp gaze, 70/15 small charms to name a few....


Ya they nerfed stuff once in like 10 years.. Not the same at all. Also they weren't nerfing skills or builds every patch.

Since D2 were nerfing only items, and in D2 players get of their dmg/builds via skill tree and skill points.

Its different in POE when you nerf items = nerf builds.


Also not true. 1.09 was the first patch after LoD came out, so between release of d2 classic and 1.09 (approx 2.5 years iirc) there were 9 huge patches that changed things each time. When original d2 came out, necros' number of skells matched the the level they had summon skeletons leveled to, this resulted in summon necros easily getting 25+ skell warriors and mages each, not to mention revives. Necros were seriously OP lag machines, they got nerfed to only get an extra skeleton every 3 levels. Short cooldowns were also added to frozen orb, blizzard, and FoH in this time frame. These are just the obvious ones I remember.

Then let's not forget patch 1.10 which changed the entire game in every way and rendered just about every previous build worthless. Except there was no way to respec at all, you were just left with a bunch of broken characters that couldn't clear nightmare at level 80.

The balancing hadn't really settled down until after 1.10, after the game was already a relic. And even then they made some minor changes afterward like the slight hammerdin Nerf.

I often wonder how many of you guys even played d2 longer than like a patch or two.


So much this.

D2 had tons of changes before 1.09

I remember iceblink and rare lances being all the rage. You could freeze enemies in such large areas. Running the flayer jungle with my iceblink barb wielding an OP lance is one of my favorite video game memories.

Iceblink was later nerfed into oblivion. Many tears as a young man.

I see two nerfs from 1.0 to 1.07 and after that huge buffs amongst the nerfs.
Where are the buffs we got from this patch?

He is just a drama queen. There were very few nerfs in D2. They only adjusted things that were really OP and gamebreaking like Barb WW etc. Most of their patchs were 80% bug fixes.

They did not nerf skills/builds/items every few weeks like in POE which was my original point. (Which he clearly missed)

Yeah, its not like the game got boring fast because it was broken.

Why is D2 being mentioned on the POE forum as if it was actually that good? Also, if it really is so damn good why dont people play that instead of POE?


D2 is vastly superior to POE in every single aspect.
2 reasons I don't play it anymore:
- I like a high resolution and playing on closed battlenet. Not possible.
- I also have literally played every viable and non viable build in the game. Even a wirtadin. Twice. Some even thrice.

POE is played because there is literally nothing else that has any quality to it.
So while POE is an extremely average game with no endgame and a sluggish/slow grind, it's still streets ahead of the abortion that is D3.

We play because POE is marginally better than watching a wall.
Vote +1 to change Path of Exile to Path of Nerfs.
We hate to say, but ProjectPT was right.

All of their Nerfs and Buffs are intuitive and expected.

No reason to cry or be mad, when it is all justified.


totems nerf (when only few players play totem builds based on spell/ranged totems) and life leech changes are soooooooooooo justified, am I right?

PoE > D2 in everything except maybe the music. PoE too stronk.
