i think they dont want to respond to threads where people are saying: "respong already ggg"

to topic:

New multipliers on gear/passive tree would be a solution but it makes the gear casters are currently using pretty crappy wich isnt good either.

As i said before ggg could add mods to spells that let casterdps start lower but scale faster with the mods that are currently available as well. It has the same effect as additional multipliers without makeing current castergear worthless.

there is an over dependence on curses , which conveniently dont work on bosses all that well.
Why? WHY? we can already see spells have dps troubles in the early game who thought it was a brilliant idea to make the beefiest monsters in the game almost immune to curses?

I don't claim responsibility.

However, I argued the case that curses in general have too much of an effect (before they were nerfed) on game balance. I also suggested that bosses should have some sort of curse resistance due to them being, you know, bosses. A pack of blue monsters with curse immune for instance was easily more hairy than any boss, if you were using curses.

For enfeeble it's literally like having at least 30% extra hp. If you start combining curses and add hexmaster, it gets silly.

It also means that due to the strength of the curses, they become mandatory, yet they imposed heavy restrictions on grouping setups and general balance ends up being around having a boss enfeebled, or running around with everything having elemental weakness on it.

I think curses are in a much better spot now, they are still really useful, but I take it that some of the effects of heavy reliance still needs to be tweaked and translated to the appropriate places.

Can't say shit about playing as a caster atm though.

And that's why your opinion on curses is completely useless. And they were not mandatory due to the strength, they were mandatory because without them your damage is severely limited as a spell caster. But once again with the GGG logic of 'OMG ITS USED BY SO MANY. MUST BE OP NERF NERF NERF' when they should be looking at WHY it's used so many times, and in this case it's because spells suck without them.
