An Update to the Volatile Dead Helmet Enchantment

Typical PoE players. The ones that respec to follow the 'Flavour of the Month' builds.

If this was not your league starter then the reason you got into this build is due to the very bug that was shown.

"Look at my awesome character who can insta-gib all bosses and content"

#dontfollowtheflavour

Stop moaning, most of you knew it would get nerfed and it should have been. This game is SUPER intricate, there is no way each and every 'bug' will get caught in the testing nets.

Every OP build should be played at your own risk.

I knew that nerf is going to happen.
Everyone in my guild knew that.
I'm pissed, cause I've just bought yesterday that enchant!
FFS.

I don't use VD. I understand this was OP, but bloody hell, you royally screwed over some people.

While ago you said you have experienced players playing the game. Where? How come no one was able to foreseen this enchant is going to be OP? How come no one tested it out?

I'll never understand how developers can make such crucial mistakes. It's always them who have least knowledge about their own game.

why not +1/+2 corpses, in stead of 0/1?!

Trolololo meta players :D cry cryyyyy haha

Please keep your preconceptions for yourself.
I'm using this skill because its new and exciting, and all builds using vd will use this enchant.

How should i know that something is a bug, when its normally written in the tooltip.
This is what i wrote before:
should i as a player not buy something strong, in fear of a nerf?
should i think before: ooh thats to strong, better not buy it?

11 days after the league is as soon as possible? Has been 1 week since I saw a build with poets pen and the enchatment overpowering content easy.
You guys need to act faster.

For the people crying about mid-league changes, I hope they bring back more mid-league changes, I hated when they went if the philosphy of no mid league changes. That enchant needed nerf as soon as possible.
Remember there was once a time where GGG policy about mid league nerf was that was OK. I hope they bring back that policy again.

The reason they stopped with mid league nerfs is that it ruins the economy, when pepole cant know anything will keep its usefulness/value.

And the economy is a mayor thing in this game.

I also hope they "fix" the damned moltenstrike now aswell.

Hahaha, what a lovely day. Glad I didn't go forward with keeping the enchant, but at least I sold a few.

Wrong. They did not know that. The game contains a lot of things that deserve a nerf, but it looks like the GGG roll the random-wheel to decide: "Hmm. Today we will nerf that one".

Ok, you can say: "Dont play any of those builds". But hey, why to play this game at all, if any decent thing can be nerfed at any moment?

What they do for balancing? 97% nerfes, 3% some buffs (Which anyway will be nerfed later. Look at QotF armor for example). It is bad method to deliver fun to people.

And the most nasty thing here is a reaction like: "They got what they deserved! What a crybaby loosers!" It describes people, reacting in this manner as gloating angry monkeys. Not as mature people. Shame on them.

So a build is basically one shotting Shaper on a 5 link with two Poet's Pens and a helm enchant. Totally not overpowered. Good job GGG. Fixing your mistakes is a sign of a good gaming company. Don't listen to all the bitching and moaning about people with tons of currency who can still kill Shaper with a slightly less than completely broken build, it just takes a few seconds longer.
