Labyrinth - CI, Low-Life, and Energy Shield in general.

Use passive respec point

the whole argument about some builds being better for some content than other and its just too bad that CI sux in labyrinth, is not a valid argument. No one is forcing you to go atziri, no one is forcing you to go tier15 maps if you are playing around with a build you find enjoyable in T6-7(think IIR builds here). Everyone is building the characters for specific purposes, 50% of the psc players probably have a bladefall miner at this point. But if the purpose of your char is to run around in mid tier maps and just chill and enjoy the game, then there should be room for that as well. And labyrinth should not be a show stopper for this...

But labyrinth is forced, you cant really go without it. Its part of the natural progression of leveling and progressing into maps. for ANY build.

They changed the damage that minions take from pets because it was obviously a problem...

Not sure what the solution would be tho. Maybe 25% faster recharge of energy shield if hit by a trap?

But there is also a difference between the aziro fight with traps and then actually finding the way to the trials, the traps are exactly as they should be at aziro, but the trap combos on the way there can be quite insane...

I don't know about the overall balance and how to optimise for the most amounts of builds trapwise
But some of the boss damage numbers are getting ridiculous against certain builds.
I'm now lvl 63 with an evasion based self found trapper in Perandus, and with 2,2k hp and 300ES I still get 1 shotted, just as I did the first time I tried to get my 3rd and 4th ascendancy points at lvl 53
I'll just keep going through merciless until I have so much damage that I can one shot the fights, but that's currently the thorn in my side to stop me from enjoying the labyrinth like I normally did with other builds.

It's his freezing pulse type cleave attack when he has swords that just rips through me.
If I have to dodge anything else and he casts that I'm dead.

I really like the labyrinth and the PvE in path of exile, but now my friend and me will end up with probably paying someone 3 chaos to run us through on merciless and get all our points then, which doesn't sound like a logical design concept.
