Post aura rage here. I will lock any other aura thread I see.

Hi

I haven't got any answers yet to my questions I want to reaffirm that I am still curious where GGG got the idea to do such a heavy handed aura balance and now is slowly changing the aura costs, isn't that a waste of time and money when that should have been tested before release?

cheers

Guess what Alpha Testers do.

I also sense you don't get what I am trying to understand. So I quote myself.

Can you please answer these questions since no dev has yet to explain where the numbers were being pulled from to warrant this aura ''balance''?

1: What was the average amount of auras a POE player used,1-3?

2: What was the average ''rich''(has access to high end unique combinations) Poe player,4-8?

3: Was it a minority or majority of players that used more then the average 1-3?

4: Would it not have been easier to cap players at 2 auras, reworked costs and have a keystone,''Auric Transmogrification: Player can have have 2 additional auras'' placed between witch and templar and move the curse keystone between shadow and witch?, since the ''rich'' players within 24hrs of release are still running 4-5 auras and the average player barely 1.



If this was a minority issue then the the axiom ''what is good for goose is good for gander'' should not apply to the majority.

I feel like this attempt to rectify a supposed issue has utterly failed and also if a player wants to make a build that could use multiple auras then let them.

The real issue is the items that allow them to abuse the game in such a way to get all these auras that many other POE players don't have access too.

This balance to auras reminds me of ''Tacitus: They make a desert and call it peace.'' All the builds and synergy gone by making it flat 60%, nice desert)
