An Update to the Volatile Dead Helmet Enchantment

I'm legitimately debating whether or not to push F to pay my respects. After hearing a friend complain non-stop about how broken it was, it was obvious that this was going to happen.

People will never learn. Play with fire, don't complain when you get burnt.

This.

Anyway, bad time for volatile dead players. But if all those players were able to farm 30ex the first week of the league to buy this enchant, they will certainly able to farm exalt again and do another build.

Nerfing mid-league is harsh. At the very least I think a free full reset should accompany this change so affected players wouldn't have to waste the currency to change builds.

With that said I haven't tried volatile dead yet so I'm not sure if this would be so huge a nerf as to warrant a change of builds.

tbh the current enchants should be legacy, there probably isnt many, and taking away 2 weeks of progress from people is pretty cooked, specially with shit like molten strike the way it is. like what????

can't you just say "we fucked up and released a helm enchant that was too strong/not intended to be in the game"

That's literally what it fucking says...

How about current enchant +3 to +2 and legacyed
And new one to +1 and uber lab only ?

Good change and thank you for making these hard decisions so fast (even informing us about them before the actual patch).

It is still the best enchant for the build and at least I will be trying to acquire one for my own VD character in the future.

This enchant was basically the biggest joke GGG ever delivered.
Even +2 Barrage was weak compared to that. Double the dmg since all of the projectiles can shotgun the same target was by far the most broken enchant around.

C'mon guys, you really thought it will stay that way? 100% MORE? U serious?

Even +1 is a 33% MORE or in other words almost a Berserker keystone without the 10% more dmg taken drawback ...

I spent 9,000 exalts, and 800 hours farming to get this enchant. Then spent 200 orbs of regret to respec into the broken build that I knew was overpowered and broken, and most likely gonna be nerfed ASAP.

I knew it was severly over powered and broken AF but I still spent every dime I had to get it. I even cashed in my kids college beer money.

what am I gonna do in 22 years when he turns 21, and wants that Heineken? Sorry bro, its Zima for you.
