Aura Reservation and Reduced Mana Support Gem Change
|
I'm glad about the decision to make Reduced Mana not needed for Auras. Before it felt like you always had to have it (because you could potentially squeeze in another aura or had to to afford your costs).
However I don't like this plan about Enlighten. It's going to be expensive and you're going to have to spec more into aura reduction than before to afford your auras because you can't afford a lvl 3 Enlighten. Low-life builds are having a hard time enough already (if you don't have a Shav). |

I like the idea for the most parts, finally its starting to feel that you have to carefully choose what auras you are going to run. For me it seems like a good way to go.
But here comes potential problems. 1. How hard it will be to run auras without Enlighten? (coming from a player who has never had a lvl 2 Enlighten, Enhance or Empower.) 2.I think that Reduced mana support gem will become utterly useless. Average player will rather go to the distance to get enough mana from the tree than replacing one of the precious links on your main skill. |

I agree with the change, compulsory gems sit very wrong with me, as long as using two or three auras is possible there's no reason for outrage.
However, I don't agree with making Enlighten the new RM, I like clean cuts. Wish the armchair developers would go back to developing armchairs.

As many have already stated:
1. I applaud the removal of a defacto-required reservation reduction gem (Reduced Mana as it was), assuming that this makes it possible to rebalance aura reservations to make them more accessible; however 2. Changing Enlighten to become a new reservation reduction gem only prevents this rebalance from being effective. | |

Oh they are making mistakes again. Such a big surprise.

" So on aura's you say you want to reduce the socket pressure while on main skills you want to increase it? Noone likes having to link mana leech \ reduced mana on their skills since every socket has a huge dps increase potential. I suspect expensive skills that would require this gem will be extremely unpopular. Same can be said for attack skills that require melee splash (since there are so many aoe attack skill nowadays). Perhaps it would be better to give reduced mana another bonus (like the dmg on fortify). Last edited by foojin#2576 on May 8, 2015, 4:23:26 AM

" Leave him alone. I admire your passion going into a thread like that and trying to be reasonable, But you won't get into these people's heads with reason or common sense. As you've rightfully pointed out, they're here to cry and make a scene, let them do so and come back with reason once the dust has settled and only those who really care stay to (hopefully) discuss this in a more civilized manner. Right now, the crybabies fear the thought of getting their candy taken away, and even the most concrete vision of a chocolate bar that might come along with that won't shut them up. Personally, i LOVE this thread. All those tears, just glorious. |

It's hard to estimate the final outcome of this - but I fear the meta where it would become desirable to socket even an improved reduced mana to active skills.
Online delenda est:
When the lifecycle of PoE will draw to an end many years from now, there needs to be a final patch making it available offline. |
