Spent 3 days farming the currency for a Rat's Nest with this enchant, and an hour and a half after I buy it, it gets nerfed. Would rather the developers test their items before releasing them and me not getting shafted, but now I can at least go do something else with my time I guess.

Yep exactly what I did, I'm going to go focus on meaningful stuff like learning to play the piano, the pieces I learn won't get nerfed in the next patch haha. (200 years proof tested, still works !!)

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"

ok name me 2 build what get nerfed during the leage? com on stop talk bull..... ofc people get mad, for me personaly 10ex is 1-2days of farming for somone who does not play 17hours on day its alot longer, and if somone saved whole league to buy it and now when he finaly buy it, it get grounded, ofc its op there is a rison it cost so mutch.... why they not nerf headhunter for example buffs to 10sec or somthing? is it powerful yes, does it need nerf? yes, but do they really need to remove existing enchant i dont think its fail at all

This isn't ok, the world isn't going to burn if you wait till the end of the league.

I personally don't have any interest in this skill but some people are loving it and i don't need to explain why it's shitty to nerf their builds mid league.

You guys know it's shitty that's why you said you will never do it.

How the fuck is double and triple the power level you now want never intended? Did you not even test it? Or just an excuse to panic nerf?

It's a game, no one gives a shit if a skill is strong for 2 months, a lot of people care if you fuck them over mid league.

"Bug" fix.

VD is already good even without +3. You would know if you played it. They're not getting "fucked over" so calm down.

Awesome!!

I don't play volatile dead but I get why people who do and bought/farmed for the enchant is pissed.
I wouldn't mind them having an op enchant for this league.

You could have said "just so you know, we will nerf this enchant even on existing helms, there will be no legacy helm enchants after this league".

Edit:
Oh, doesn't sound like a bug but a badly balanced enchant released.

do you guys know that feeling when you pay 12exalted for enchant and cant sell it even for 1ex. ty gg

I'm happy you nerfed the enchant but is it really needed?
I think it would be ok to leave the enchant for something like VD, it's a very clunky and slow build that feels just terrible to play, your kind of force to use spell echo on VD as well which just feels horrible, that enchant actually helps it out a lot.
Also why haven't you done anything about lightpoacher helm?
Lightpoacher is on a completely different level of broken than this VD helm enchant is, the enchant is pretty over powered but VD is just not that great, it's only good against bosses that are not mobile, it's slow at mapping, it's clunky etc etc but lightpoacher needs to be nerfed, it's a cheap item meaning its very accessible to anyone which the VD uber lab enchant is not.

Can't wait to see the build you invested everything in get totally shafted.
