And you think you have final say on everything that happens under you? Either you're deluded or rather controlling. Neither is necessarily a bad thing.

Chris rides a hydra. It has reins, but that doesn't mean he controls precisely every head's direction. His job is to ensure the hydra is moving in the right direction. PoE is not run by committee, but it's extremely naive to think any one individual has final say on everything.

Maybe your factory operates a bit differently to an indie games studio. Either way, a good boss knows when to micromanage and when to allow people to do their jobs.

Touched a nerve there did I, my most humble apology, but bosses are such as they make final decission on matter at hand. Taking into consideration what other know best. They wouldn't be the boss otherwise. Easiest way to drive a business into the ground is to leave it to the minions.

P.S. Don't be so serious, it's a game after all. We're all just out to have fun in an awesome game btw. Which I support with my hard earned cash to the full as well.

EDIT:

I even have one of these

as a pet, and many more in support of GGG and Chris.

We are all just waiting for news so have a chill pill dude.

This thread is hilarious. I wish I could say why. I really do. Lol.

Crit not nerfed confirmed. Charan working for GGG confirmed. Illuminati everywhere.

@GrumpyBear5043
This is Charan being calm. And he is right - boss is not someone who knows everything. He knows what has to be done. He doesn't have to know everything in detail.

They can nerf all they want, it is fun to have to adapt and use some creativity.

Unless you copy builds, so if that is the case... nuhnuh, nerfs are coming! :P

All these calls for crit nerfs is from people playing soft core or what?
I have had several crit characters in the hc leagues and some without, the non-crit builds are always way more tanks and safe, and not a HUGE difference in clear speed. It is just a pretty big investment to go crit no matter if it's daggers, wands or bows?

@Perq
Hence he or she counts on the knowledge of others as well as their own. In the long run people make the company successful as a whole, but the boss does the steering.

yeah they are.
Those trolls see a mirrored 500DPS crit dagger build with mirrored rings wearing abyssus helmet and start crying because their tooltip number has one zero less with their 10c gear.

crit is totally fine, maybe even a bit too weak after the nerf when you consider the amount of skill points and currency you need.

Of course e.g. a crit ele buzzaw does more dmg than a no crit ele buzzaw. But it is more squishy and MUCH more expensive than the no crit variant.
And the difference isnt even THAT big.


My no crit build are all WAY better than my crit builds in HC leagues.

The most funny thing is that my lvl 72 no crit 2H Cyclone guy is much more defensive and has better clearspeed with a few chaos gear + 5L belly than my lvl 86 crit ST ranger with very offensive skill tree, crit cap guy with binos and about 50ex gear....


only thing that is problematic are spells. sadly crit is the only thing you can do to scale spells. There simply isnt ANYTHING besides crit to scale spells with.
But that doesnt mean crit is OP especially spells are very well balanced (well maybe except lightning nova and a few other shitty spells like it)

This is a very good point. I've been hoping for something interesting to happen with the spells in PoE for so long ... some new mechanics would be nice ...

Come to think of it, besides spellecho there isn't much one can do for spells. Would be interesting to see a chaos spell and or new mechanics for spells. This is a good point raised here without going crit.

Everything's going to get NERFED,

Start playing from the beginning after the NERF hammer hits CRIT.

Your builds are going to be stuffed.

Think about it

Crit is OP compared to non-crit

non-crit has much more elements

so GGG has 2 balance options

1) nerf crit
or
2)buff everything

what do you thing is the most effective way

and not to forget that nerfing crit makes the game harder, buffing non-crit makes the game easier
