A Few Specific Balance Changes in 3.2.0

Changes happen in life, grow up people and stop crying.

Only new biscos get nerfed Kappa go buy fast gogogo bump the price in the air

Zana - depending on the mods now, probably no point in leveling to 8 now
Monster damage reduction - well seeing monster damaged reduced by 10% is like actual monster damage reduced by 3%
Oni - didnt care before, dont care now, prices will jump up in exalts
Bisco - the nerf is quite big, probably not even worth to put in on compared to damage lost = clear speed
Sextant - wonder if it will be worth selling them now

Where is the ignite buff ?

Damn.
As someone who the game did a lot of shitting on in the previous league I can't say these changes are good at all. 400-500 hours in Abyss and not a single weapon dropped for me that was even 75% of the damage of either of the two I bought on poe trade. Nothing dropped for me in any map was useful in end game. Every thing I had I farmed for currency and bought. Now those options are being greatly diminished by nerfing the people getting lucky at the top? I admit I was pretty jealous seeing all of the daily spam of top tier items in chat, but those people getting lucky were the people selling to people like me who only got garbage or lower tier items.
Even maps were insanely unlucky for me. 200 hours or so doing red, alch'd and corrupted maps and I saw a total of 8 T15 and 3 hydra maps drop. That's it. Everything else was a very slow grind for currency. I get that luck comes and goes, and I'll be playing the next league hoping for better, but that glut of items on poe trade was the only thing that kept me interested in playing the game. Greatly diminishing options for those players who find themselves at the bottom of the pile just seems like a horrible knee-jerk reaction to players' pettiness.

ok waiting for next league. My wishing build I want to play needs Presence of chayula and skin of the loyal. With no breach zana mod this will be to expensive.

IM a casual player. I need to go to work etc. I was so happy that there is a chance to drop Oni-goroshi. I was my goal, I've studied builds to start etc. I was waiting for Friday night like a kido.
Now Im so disappointed. My friends have chosen to exp and run through game. They know how to exp without even gear.

I've decided to spend some time and sacrifice fun for work for Oni. This was cool that work can be rewarded. It is so enjoyable when you sacrifice but you know for what.
There is nothing more frustrated than high RNG spread.

It is sad that this change is announced so late. I had plans to play, now Im disappointed.

Well we weren't intended to kill the mobs anyways, since we have to catch them now... No kills = no loot, so no problem with Zana nerf, Bisco nerf, Sextant nerf on my side

Just adding my voice to the chorus unhappy about the nerf to Oni-G farming.

Why? Was 4 hours or so of Twilight Strand with one gem and one support insufficient tedium for a levelling unique, you had to make it (way) more and variable too?
Net result: it'll mainly be farmed by bots, and bought from the botters by most of those who still might use it.

Other than that... whatever. I'd consigned most of the endgame to tradesville anyway, something for other people, this changes nothing. No incentive to play more but then I no longer expect that.

I know I'll be farming Oni in standard now before 3.2 is launched just to have one.

If one is really dedicated to Oni and what she means, then there were WEEKS of knowing about (any form of) this upcoming change. Active contributors 'knew' it since end of last year and had plenty enough time to 'react'.

(That didnt affect (upcoming) league play but that's intended and same for all of us. And there's always people who are 'late', but thats just life; nothing that can be done against)

I'm not sure what you're trying to extrapolate and argue about from my statement? I don't need Oni, don't have a build for it, etc. I just wanted to have one in the dumpster league. GGG is making it even more RNGish after 3.2, and I didn't bother getting one yet since I'd rather spend time progressing in the challenge league. So now I'm going to be grinding for one until Bestiary is launched.
