X% less trap damage taken when 70% or more of life is reserved? You can always stop reserving life for running the areas with traps. Is not like you need them in those under leveled zones.

Nice to see a reduction to the high tier uniques. I've yet to drop one even after they got quadrupled. At least now i know i won't even bother trying and just farm dried lake for currency and buy the items. I hate trading and not looting. Maker of ZeeL's Amplifier.

Just like a young man coming in for a quickie, I feel so unsatisfied. Buy the ticket, take the ride.	Posted by p0t#2885 on May 25, 2016, 10:06:04 PM Quote this Post
Interesting to see no nerf to deadly or unstable infusion.	Posted by DichotomousThree#0868 on May 25, 2016, 10:06:18 PM Quote this Post

For races or farming enchants fast? Yeah, sucks. XD Characters designed around low life are completely broken when you don't reserve that life. It's not just pain attunement. There's heavy item dependence on being low life for functionality (things like 2x redbeak, lioneye's paws, springleaf, ambu's charge, daresso's courage, etc.). It really breaks these characters from a farming efficiency (and fun) standpoint to unreserve life, just in order to reduce trap damage (especially with new traps that you need to attack!). Never underestimate what the mod community can do for PoE if you sell an offline client.

I strongly disagree with the huge nerf to chaos conversion, but whatever... sigh Global 1 is cancer. By agreeing to these terms of use, you acknowledge that bugs are like cool and stuff and that you will bow to the Mealworm king when he ascends the throne.
