Give fevered mind the grand spectrum treatment (limit to 1)

Multiple fevered mind on tree and pathfinder create builds totally broken. The jewel is getting abused to get 25000/sec life regen with on top of it 10k life and 50k+ dps.

I also think the fact you can stack so much of them for a bonus of 30% spell damage is fucked. 300% spell damage with 10 of them and infinite regen? yea

Fuck Zerphi's and Fevered Mind.

First I've seen this - but then, I haven't played in a while.

Looked at a few threads in pathfinder... meh, legit. The build is limited, somewhat, by the necessity for one flask in all 5 slots, but pathfinder does make it an easily sustained build. With a poet's pen and kitava's thirst setup I can see how it could be a bit of a cheeze.
Unfortunately, it is yet another example of Currency Wins - a rare flask with stupidly OP synergies? Yup. Something the average casual can do - nope. That's GGG for ya.

Far as I know, getting the 30% spell damage comes with a 100% cost... so putting in 10 might net 300% increased damage, but cost 1000% more. Even a level one scorching ray would vaporize the mana pool...

Care to link some further information - like the abusing build? Would be interesting to look at, though I don't think I'll bother with the upcoming Pokemon league, myself.

You run mom to let your mana be depleted by blood rage or rf (this way zerphi is always up) and you use lvl 1 blood magic support (which also increases the mana cost lol) to spam siphon or frenzy

On the topic, your suggestion is good because it allows a nerf without legacy poet's pen or zerphi.
Also VD is on the broken side imo (autoguided missiles wtf) and it needs a fix (1 ball instead of 3?)

This and nerf pathfinder unique flask interaction.

The problem isn't Fevered Mind, it's Zerphi's - and GGG appears to not give a hoot. Tbh, it's never been a widespread problem either so, can you really blame them. *shrug*

Nerfing the flask might just create legacy variant while nerfing the gem will hit both temp and std league.

It never been a problem because of vaal pact however now with it removed this will shine more and more on the spotlight. Also with poet pen, you do not need anymore to invest in damage or the need to stop moving for regeneration. Bodyswap+pen permit players to heal and shoot until infinity

Legacy gear is not a concern when it comes to fixing balancing issues - and nerfing the Jewel is not fixing the core issue.

HO I agree, if GGG were just nerfing the flask without legacy ones it would be the perfect solution. I just doubt they can nerf the flask/pathfinder.
