An Update to the Volatile Dead Helmet Enchantment

This enchant is 100% certified broken, and having played with it I agree shouldn't be in the game in this state. However the current plan kind of screws over anyone who sunk all their money into it, or didn't see the news in time, so as someone who spent all their currency on this enchant before seeing the news, can I make a suggestion?

I'd suggest dropping the current 3 corpses to 2, the current 2 to 1, and making the announced changes to lab. This would result in legacy 2 corpse enchants, which would be a whole other issue, but would lessen the blow on anyone who bought it unaware. Ofc I say this just because I don't want my shiny new toy to get nerfed

So much salt in this thread, it's insane to read the depth of the entitlement of some of these people. Something that they've classified as "exceptionally overpowered" probably should be nerfed - sucks that you guys farmed for it and spent money on it, but if something generally seems too good to be true, it is and will likely get nerfed as a result.

Can I have my 35 regrets back that I just used to Respec my character.. What a bunch of crap!!

No, That's the chance you take when playing Overpowered builds. You should know they're gonna get nerfed eventually. it's good for the game and lets underdog builds have their time to shine rather than POE becoming "Vaal pact chaos berserkers online"

The monetary snowball thing I get. I am still going to get this helm enchant because its still BiS and I want to try this build out to see if its pathing is any less painful than SRS was.

Legacy should be implemented so you haven't completely wasted people's time. Just really unfortunate how this played out. Testing is done for a reason -- hell, we can test your own game for you and tell you all of the broken stuff.

But yeah, why is GC still a thing?

that enchant was 15ex on starkonja helmet, everytime you guys "fix" somthing you leave legacy items and now you remove even from existing ? i play this game like no life for real (4,2k hours on steam ) i will recover from this easy, but for som average player who play i dont know lets say 3hours or 4hours on day who where saving whole time currency and buy it for example today just to find out you guys remove from 3 to 1 ball i dont think its fair. no matter how powerful is those few helmets what exist right now i beleve shuld stay. i dont realy care to mutch but really beleve its unfair to people who farmed so long to get that item and now when they finaly get it, it gets nerfed.... so many barrage enchant still exist i really cant see ANY rison to remove current enchants i just cant understand. you never nerfed anything so big and hard during the leage why now? because its op ? well barrage was OP, kinetic blast with wall was op for 3leages.... no sense to me but whatever

So all these 8-9 link weapons with 2-3 "extra damage as" are perfectly fine or should we avoid them too in case they get nerfed?


Btw where do I contact support to get my 20ex or 2 wasted weeks of gathering currency back?

another day another kneejerk dead skill.

It's not dead at all though. If you haven't seen the poet's pen build I would recommend checking them out

no, not good enough. the people who make these thigns should know they are broken the very second the idea comes into their head. This is a grossly incompetent piece of design that has resulted in players losing 10+ exalts. Making money early league is a snowball thing, take away peoples early league money and you fuck up their entire league.

this is entirely on the devs, the people effected by this have every right to be completely outraged, if they did this to something I had spent 10 exalts on this early in a league there would be a fury beyond words coming from me. Its not funny, its not people over reacting, its a catastrophic error in judgement from the devs, one of many that have come in 3.1, its entirely on them.

What's sad is that this is (probably) a troll, but people ACTUALLY think like this.

Yet if they ever tried to design a game as complex as Path of Exile with over 100 staff members and have zero design flaws, ever, wouldn't happen.

I guess light poacher is still ok then?

People complain way too much. VD builds are still going to be super strong and viable for all content. It's not like they completely destroyed the build.
