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.

It really annoys me when people like you show a complete lack of empathy for what people who spent a ton of currency to get this enchant feel like right now. Not everyone who purchased this enchant is absolutely swimming in currency. For some people this is now a side grade they spent 90%+ of their currency on to improve their build.

See it's all fun and games until it happens to you. Haha whining bitches right?

I absolutely guarantee that most of the people here calling the others whiners would throw a fit if GGG swooped down and just annihilated a good portion of your inventory without warning because that's exactly what happened to this enchant.

Was the nerf needed? Yea. Was it handled in just about the worst way possible? Absolutely yes.

It's not a lack of empathy. I completely understand it sucks to have spent 20 ex on a helm enchant and then have it nerfed within hours. That's not the point. The point is that you still have the BIS enchant for an extremely strong build, capable of building even more currency. The only thing that has changed is that you won't be able to kill end game bosses as quickly.

I don't understand why +2 Barrage Enchant could be left legacy but this one particularly could not. It's only 9 days into the league, doesn't seem like there's that many helmets around to cause a huge issue. This is just penalizing your players that play early in the league.

Because +2 Barrage is not 100% More Dmg

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.

They could have scaled the downgrade so that original +2/+3 are still different strengfth levels.

change +3 to +1
change +2 to a flat damage increase equivalent to 15% extra base damage on the skill and make that a legacy mod.

other than that I have been playing with poets pens and VD as an original idea from league start... i never felt the need to get a helm enchant as it is totally unnecessary for clearing content. It's strong all by itself.

so basically we should be afraid right now, everytime we start playing in a new league/build that the currency we invested in a build will go to SHIT after something gets nerfed. cool
