Nerfing Life Nodes: A Retrospective

Self aggrandizing Scrotie McB thinks that the devs specifically listened to him & did the health nerf...aww cute.

I REALLY hope GGG did not listen to you on this or any other issue as your suggestions for this game are HORRIBLE but it is no surprise that the one major patch they implement that is a total fuck up is also along the lines of something you suggested.

The health node nerf did nothing good for the game, the meta just swapped to CI as that is the way to stack the most health now, the patch was an utter fail that only brought more unbalance to the table & did not meet any of the goals it was meant to, rollback the servers you dun goofed.

Idea about boosting base life is so great (no irony, no joke), must be solution for many trouble and many builds with takes all life node, not DMG node. Very great idea!
Boosting base life is very nice.
Still as buffed Mobs as they now, need to boost A LOT OF BADE HP, rly. 66 lvl maps with easy rolls for new players (special melee, not LS or other spell/rangers) is random, die as you start or near? Raid on Lunaris w/o come near Piety bcs she one shot anythink and lost all exp :/ yep.

- Life will never be buffed bcs "DMG MOBS GET TOO MUCH NERFED! TOO EASY NOW! MERCILESS PIETY 10 MIN AFK AND FULL LIFE OMG TO EASY!" and other "PROS".

- Dex a little bit hope for buff or more balance, but way too long and very low chance for this.

- Skill gems that 100% useless never will be buffed, never bcs of "PROS" like -> "OMG YOU JUST DONT USE LIKE ME, ALL BALANCED YOU JUST DONT DO IT RIGHT! LOOK "GREPDD" HE SAID NEED THIS AND THAT AND ALL FINE BUT HE DIED AGAIN BUT ITS BALANCED HE SAID" and other trolls like this;
And BTW look how easy and fast Spark totems with all IIR + IIQ possible gears clear maps... balanced? Ok em "PRO", as you wish, but what else can so fast with tons IIR + IIQ gears clear any maps? Most skill gems cant even solo mobs with ENDGAME gear on DPS.

- EVA and imposible cap EVA, most players choose conv EVA to Amour, bcs if 1 hit from Magic or Rare or Ranger meet you... better have a lot of Life to not die from 1 hit, OH WAIT! Life got nerfed alot! Hm... Why ppl conv EVA to Armour? I dunno...

- Blocks... with cap at 75% and so little block chance from nodes... eh, nvm "PRO" will always saying: "ITS OP, OMG NERF IT RIGHT NOW! CANT PLAY LIKE THIS OP OP OP OP OP OP" so GGG will think that its true and never change, or even go as PROS say and will nerf block, lol. Only ULTRAHARDCORE ONLY MAX HARD ONLY MANPOWER ONLY PRO ONLY DIE ONLY LOST, GO GO GO.

BTW about desync and same -> dont need to wait for magic, dont, bcs never will be fixed that. Read Development Manifesto. No fix for futures.

Just rly need some type of survives, read tons thread about died/lost exp/leave game and other like there threads + check sell trade forum with HC DIED ALL FOR SELL and more. How many other good (rly nice guys) died bcs no balance and low survives with ULTRAHARD ROLLS for maps. I think need little survives, rly need.

People still use HP? I though everybody is CI now. My bad. Signing out.
