As I expected, 3.0.0 is a huge letdown... The only thing interesting in this new patch is the "new" areas, with the removal of Cruel and Merciless.

I'll probably do a full run with a new character from scratch up to Act 10, just to check the new areas and extra lore, then quit again and maybe uninstall PoE this time as well, as it seems that GGG has finally lost the last bit its mind with how they handle balance in this game, and I'm not even referring to any specific aspect like CI nerf, ES nerf, or DoT changes, but on how they handle balance in general, like, on how melee is still crap and how most melee skills are utter trash.

Good luck to everybody finding any fun in this trainwreck.


Thanks for stating my thoughts
Why bother finding a Mirror of Kalandra if it can be [Removed by Support]
Killing the Elder or Shaper while following someone's build is like finding a street using google maps - such an achievement!

Hand of Wisdom And Action: No longer adds 1-6 Lightning damage to Attacks per 10 Intelligence. Now grants 1-10 lightning damage added to attacks with this weapon per 10 Intelligence.


is this a buff or a nerff? this lightning damage scales like before or not?


Well it's called now "WITH THIS WEAPON"... it sounds very different to plain "to attacks"


Does it matter now?
1) Because it depends on Intelligence stat, you won't have room to build Life based build with it!
2) Melee ES build without INSTANT leech would be viable? I doubt it!
GGG must really hate Assassin, poison and bleed. I wonder why.

Bleed was barely usable to begin with, now its dead.

Poison was broken because formula to calculate its damage was deeply flawed, so instead of revising it, GGG went full nerhammer on it.

I mean, was that 100% to 30% nerf REALLY necessary after all changes? Chris never showed THAT "millions of poison pds" build. Probably because it never existed to begin with.

Well, it cannot be helped.
Why did the Viper strike get obliterated? Was it that MILLIONS OF POISON DPS skill? Interesting patch notes, I don't agree on few points here and there, but whatever.

by the way, why did you further destroyed bleed? It barely did any damage, but now it will just lie in the corner. Only powerful bleed build I can think of was Puncture bow build, back in pre 2.0, where it dealt very nice damage, then it got rekt by nerfs, and from this time bleed is pretty much useless. It's only source of additional minimal-to-non-existant damage.

It is a pity that there are no new maps based on tilesets from A5, but I understand that this will require atlas changes as well. Hope GGG will add new maps in future.


Appart from the snow-tileset many maps of the Atlas were made of the new acts' tilesets anyway. They were a kind of pre-usage of their work on A5 to 10.

Great job GGG, thank you.
Well I had hoped for some defense buffs for lifebased builds (esp. on the dexterity-side of the tree). Instead I got plenty nerves on Crit there. More defense points that have to go to offense D:

EDIT: Wanted to add: Awsome work though! Keep it up :)

If it only got a damage nerf, then the updated melee physical damage support gem could had helped out to an extent. However, chance to poison and the duration cut in half on top of that is just too much. The skill was not even that popular and meta defining, but GGG feared that Viper Strike might end up becoming one.
Sometimes you can take the game out of the garage but you can't take the garage out of the game.
