whats the point of VP when acuity exists?
" more accurately Vaal Pact is for those who can't afford 250+ exalts bought with REAL MONEY. Because let's face it, unless you're using an army of bots or you have nothing else to do with you life at all, there is no way you are going to pile up 250 exalts. And unfortunately, for all the tough talk GGG makes against pay-to-win, they still leave RMT trading unchecked and unpunished. In fact, in the report in-game button there is not even an option to report rmt. A month ago, there was a player selling Exalts for real money on trade channel... and all GGG does is turn a blind eye and "balances" the game based on gear attainable only by the RMT traders which ruins it for everyone else.

" Atziri's Acuity cost 150 exalteds b/o (without haggling, etc.) on standard and just 60 exalteds - on Ambush. And price continues to drop.

" 60 exalts or 260 exalts is an academic distinction for most players, even dedicated ones. If you have 60 exalts to buy gear chances are you bought them with real money. |

MK3-I agree with everything,and about bloodseeker.Come to think of it right now,a blood seeker at this point,might be generally a better option for alot of players,even if they have a 300+DPS claw,especially for dual weild builds.
Anyway,to all people who are talking bullshit about being generally butthurt of not having an "unoptainable" item that needs dedication etc.,i have to say that "elite" uniques should give you an "edge".Acuity would give an edge if vaal pact was as it used to be.The nerf,made all crit melee builds,borderline useless,unless your gear was killing as it was.And do not give me the argument of lowlife builds.Crit melee is a much broader category of builds,and their efficiency should not be depended on 1 item. Acuity does not give an edge,it makes the VP keystone COMPLETELY useless,melerely a temporary leveling keystone,and spare the lecture of non crit builds being able to use it.Even with 200K DPS,with VP,sometimes my leech was not eficient to keep me alive as a melee build.The unique INSULTS the keystone itself.I will say it again,if vaal pact was like it used to be,the existence of this unique would be justified.An hard to get unique that gives you an edge,that's it.And for some builds not even BiS(legacy maligaros generally can give more benefits for some builds than 6 passive points). That being said I would 100% support a GGG decision to remove this item,if they were to buff VP back,and when i say remove,i mean REMOVE,not leaving legacies behind.And i do like in theory the fact that there is another way to obtain the item beside spending tons of exalts,they way i got it,which is playing atziri 50 times before hope droped. HOWEVER,this was my ABSOLUTELY WORST experience in this game so far.I was literally playing docks like a RETARD(in an out running to corrupted areas),for 6 hours a day,mostly wanting to fucking blow my brain out. https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/417287 - Poutsos Flicker Nuke Shadow

The whinging and poorly thought out arguments never stop
Some players will never ever be satisfied until everything and everyone is generic. What is the issue with an item that is more potent than the keystone, especially when it is a mega rare drop from the most difficult content in the game? It just sounds like another 'if I can't have one, then no one should' Sigh... It hasn't ruined the balance of the game and hasn't ruined your gameplay because someone else has it.

" They would never remove it, why? Because, GGG would just make it legacy and new one has weaker version for new players. Yes, a slap to the face of new players. Old players able to enjoy their wealth once a again and sell it high enough for new players to stack hundreds of exalts in inventory.

" I played for 3 months and I already can buy an Acuity with the current highball price in Standard. Whats to stop the flooding of more and more of this item when more players able to down Uber Atziri, and the price would surely drop to a point where player can get it by farming for few weeks only. It just a matter of time before everyone who wish to have this item able to obtain it by trading or farming. I Love This Game Now, Being a Summoner Hardly Associated with Desync ♫

Add a stat to atziri's acuity that makes the player take reflected damage on crit, or buff vaal pact to its old version.
Asking for this item to be flat out removed is stupid as hell, what do you think would happen to the people that paid hundreds of exalts for them? Atziri's acuity is another end game item that people have to work hard for. I for one made it an objective to get a pair one day, and it happened a lot sooner than I thought. If GGG stops releasing items like this, what's the point of even playing? Reaching level 100 with the same old gear and same old build definitely isn't motivating enough for me. We need more mjolners, more crown of eyes, more atziri gloves, more expensive / hard to get game changing items. There is however some balancing to be done with the gloves and vaal pact. #1 spirit shield - #1 ES/all res diamond ring - 6T1 ES/WED/tri-res rustic sash mirror service http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/989804 twitch.tv/steezbattalion IGN ddddddddddddddddddddime Last edited by stzbttln#2928 on May 22, 2014, 1:00:00 PM
