I don't think i'll be trying again to get into new leagues just for some shrines or whatever they want to add to them. I like playing in Standard and i don't think that GGG should treat long term leagues as a mere dumps.

But they are. SC has the craziest level of inflation I've seen in a long time. Mirrors went up from 60 to 130+ exalts in just two months. Mirror fees? Made up by batshit crazy people. Every shitty item nowadays starts at 1ex. Items I once bought for 5ex I could resell (if I wanted) for 2 to 3 times the original price. Even without legacy items this economy is doomed.

You don't play for boring shrines. You play the new leagues for having a not shitty experience in terms of economy. By most people's standard I'm insanely rich by having a mirror, ~100ex and a very efficient, well-equipped, farming character. Yet I'd rather quit the game than continue playing this league, even without legacy items.

Are those changes true or is that just a joke? If yes this mf build makes no more sense to play :/

It's an extract from the patch notes, go take a look there's more than that.

Oh shit, there are a lot of crazy nerfs oO . I am thinking about to change the Spark gem to an Ice Spear gem. But even if it works with a Ice spear gem, without the auras which our Build needs it seems to be pretty hard to make the build.

RIP dual totem spork MF build! Thx GGG for destroy this build. I dun know what i do with all that skill points.

now that righteous fire deals damage based on energy shield is there no point in using it with the build? if there's no point in using RF is there no point in going low life? how should this build adapt? go CI? use another build entirely? any thoughts?

After initial disappointment that my sporker got so thoroughly nerfed, I think I can still make a low-life RF dual totem build work.

Let's face it, the build was ridiculously overpowered. Without any level 20 or 20% quality gems my sporker destroys every mob in the regular content except Merciless Piety (on my last Piety run she killed me 3 or 4 times).

The one big problem I have is that I don't have Shav's (I switch to a CI build to play maps with friends), and if it no longer drops outside maps then I have very little chance of ever acquiring one.

Speaking of which, if anyone is disillusioned enough to take a break from PoE and wants to donate (or even loan) me a Shav's for map play, I'm all ears. I'm afraid I haven't gotten wealthy in-game so can't pay what others are asking, but I could give you a little something :)

Where does this come from? The only mention of Righteous Fire I can find in the patch notes is:

"

The damage bonus now starts at 40% instead of 30%, but only increases by 1% per level, instead of 3%.

Edit: ah, the patch notes have changed since they were first posted. But it's not entirely based on ES, it's based on a combination of Life and ES. I expect RF will still be sustainable, thanks to a certain Unique that I won't mention in case it gets nerfed ;) This might make RF even more powerful against mobs within its area of effect, which isn't a bad thing.

On another note, I really don't understand the focus on IIQ over IIR for this build. I gave up trying to maximize IIQ quite a while ago, and instead maximized my IIR. I'd rather see a handful of rares than a screenful of meh whites any day, and the difference to the currency drops hasn't been noticeable. My bonuses are currently 40% IIQ and 319% IIR (with no Andvarius) and I'm more than happy with the results.

I have tried the build and I have made some docks runs. Damn, the killspeed is sooo damn slow. I mean you can do Docks without problems, but you kill the monsters like in slow motion. And this was only in docks runs, I don't want to know how it is in maps. The Build is pretty fucked up now. I was curious to know if the builds still works, so now I cant respec my skills anymore. I think I will make a Path of Exile break, I dont have the motivation for doing and leveling a new char to level 80. I put a lot of time in thise char, pretty frustrating.

Ok, pretty much nerfed, we can all agree.

I have changed my mind about RF and i think it is much more harder to sustain now so i try to forget it for the moment.

This is my actuel build : 4 auras still works with a lvl 18 clarity + purity on blood magic and haste (removed vitality for now) and discipline on mana.

i droped hp regen for now in tree and took mana reduced reservation.

I've been playing POE for a while and really enjoying my low life spork MF witch. I was super excited about v1.0 today and the new game content.

My excitement gave way to chagrin after I put all my passive skill points back into the skills I had specced pre-patch only to find I couldn't maintain LL. What in the world? I then read the patch notes, realized there had been significant skill changes across the board, and experienced the final shock: I was now stuck in a spec that was no longer viable.

Shame on me for not reading the patch notes first. But man, what a frustrating day. :(

Nice to know that GGG completely destroyed a toon I actually enjoyed playing. Good job there GGG. I think I am done with this game. I am really not interested in spending what little free time I have completely changing just because GGG didn't think things out well enough at the beginning :(

Oh well, it has been fun while it lasted. Sadly I actually thought GGG was interested in having a successful launch. As it stands now I don't see many long time players telling people about how awesome the game is when GGG decided to nerf so many things and basically destroy the vast customizability of the majority of builds.

They continually nerf so hard on the changes that it takes them months to correct stuff and those are months I am not willing to wait.

Yeah, we are all butthurt because our build got nerfed. But lets face it, we did this build in the first place because it was way OP. Lets forget about RF and hope that with the totem nodes and a few chances a low life build can still make it on maps. We still get pain attunement, 1 extra aura from hp and a few uniques that are only useful being LL.

I guess we have to wait for the next farmbuild to be discovered...
