Quote of the first post from GGG:

Internally within Path of Exile, there are a whole lot of things that are treated as Auras that players don't think of as Auras and should not be affected by this passive skill. But they are, and it's a really big problem for this skill to interact with them

Nothing you quoted suggests that it was a bug. It suggests that the developers are lazy and didn't bother separating things like tailwind from auras. That is on them for being slack.

I don't even play herald stacking build and I think this nerf is bullshit. Stop nerfing things mid-league ffs.

My sentiments exactly.
Sorry, but it has to be fixed BEFORE league release, during internal tests. It creates the impression that your QA sucks [or it is nonexistent]

TL:DR Do not release broken stuff

Did you miss a point where couple days ago they said they're aware of interactions BUT ARE NOT NERFING it. Love spending 3 mirrors on gear that is now useless after they have strictly said they're not nerfing it. It's not weather the build is busted or not, IT IS, 100% but issue iS GGG SAID no we're not nerfing it and then theyy turned around and nerfed it, 3 weeks went poof.

well done!!!

Btw Fully tested league

GGG messed up again. Big time.
They shouldn't have made such insane notables in the first place (allowing multiples skilled).
They shouldn't have released a statement these notables, auras, etc will not be touched.

But this had to be done. These builds were breaking the game.

To everyone whining.. your very first thought when you first saw this broken heap of crap should have been that this is going to be nerfed. Main reason I have not bothered to do it.

Also you can sure bet cluster jewels will also have hard limits applied to them next league - if they even stay in the game.

I agree that it does get thrown around a lot, with a lot of players. I am certain that my one friend is done with it though, and he has spent insane amounts of money in support of GGG. The others i do not doubt will come back, possibly even this league, but PoE lost at least 1 badass player and huge support because of this. I feel for him, and hope he sticks around, but, I've never heard him threaten to straight up quit, regardless of the stuff theyve done, he was in disbelief that they would give players the go ahead, say it was broken and to "Have fun" I believe was the exact quote, only to take it away after people had time to put them together and buy herald effects, seems incredibly underhanded.

Yeah, it's just going to come down to what we believe. Maybe I'm just too jaded because I see it said all the time, but rarely upheld. Maybe your friends will quit for good (or take a reasonable break from the game). Hopefully, they can have fun regardless.

It's truly unfortunate, though. With this change, GGG has set a precedent for patching builds mid-league, as well as changing their minds after giving players a 'go-ahead'.

I get where they were coming from when Bex decided to speak up and said that the builds wouldn't be touched, but considering the aftermath, that did more harm than good. This is why most companies try to remain silent on these issues until the patch begins to roll out.

Imo, after giving players a go ahead, they should've just stuck to it, regardless of how they felt. Nerfing the build was going to cause anger, but changing your mind days after saying the opposite is going to make it much worse.

I am speechless.

This is the worst decision you ever made.

It's not even about nerfing op stuff. This happened in the past. Sometimes. (No idea when and why sometimes not tbh... hi @ HH)

But going back on your word like that. wow...

Farewell...
