I'm sure it was a very tough decision internally but it was a just one. Sucks to do it mid league and that people lost godly amounts of currency but it was game breaking, and balance is very important in a game like this. Now nerf headhunter. ;)

Can you expand on this? I've seen a lot of responses in the thread saying that the build breaks the game for me. The economy is broken.
What exactly is broken for the average player in PoE?

You can take 0 dmg from hits if you are using a fortify buff with 400%.

Basically, it is god mode whenever you go.

Big oof

Huh? Wait, PH can be used on fortify??? First I heard of it.

i havent played this build, i havent even heard of it untill 4 days ago, was not in my list to play
But what GGG did was a very very dickish move. Like, garbage move and i do feel sorry for ppl who invested in this build just to have it gutted.
Now, with that being said, i am watchign in disbelief just how bad POE is atm, tech - performance wise.
The league mechanic is literal dog poo, i mean, have u tried the elague mechanic on an indoor map like tower, library and so on?
Insane buffs to bosses and mobs and all builds nerfed a plenty
BUT MEANWHILE, TRADE IS BUSTED, FPS ON THE FLOOR, CRASHES, BUGS
I cant wait for a good arpg to pop up, meanwhile Borderlands 3 for me and Destiny 2

I understand many people is angry at GGG for doing this after jebaiting them 4 days ago. But standing inside Sirus Pool with 12k Shield without ES even moving is something that had to be addressed somehow. Necros had a Flesh Offering regening 3000 ES/sec and everyone ranted for how broken it was. These guardians had three times that. GGG is not going to kill the build, is going to make things somehow reasonable and, well....cheaper now.

Currently there is a bug. The Heralds affect Global Aura which include Buffs (Buff and Aura) and Debuffs.

You can have 100% duration with the Solstice Vigil (At one point this item is worth 35ex).

Your fortify, even Tailwind are all at x5 effect.

It doesnt even need to be a guardian at all. Now all the classes are powering through maps with cheap rolls of the Purposeful Harbringer.

They lie about the expensive gears that they purchased (well, not lying if they are trying to exploit and get the free 100% skill duration, tailwind boot etc). The cluster jewels are actually very cheap.

Hey GGG. A lot of us around the world are under quarantine. This nerf is really going to bum a lot of people out who could really use some extra fun in their lives right now in a tough situation.

Give everyone a win and let us have a good time with these broken toys for a little while as we're stuck indoors worried about the world ending.

P.S. You said you wouldn't nerf it mid-league, makes it worse.

Dude, the world isn't ending and you are incredibly naive too believe you can speak for people like that. We've dealt with pandemics and economic crashes before, chill out.

3x5slot voices = 51 exalted
Solstice = 20-30 ex
Heraldry/Harbinger 3 ex each so 12 ex
Endbringer 1 ex so 5 ex
6 linked shavs - 6-10 ex


That is the base starter pack of the build at 100ish ex, not including other stuff such as 11 jewel slots that are 1-10 ex each, good curruption efficency jewel at 8-12 ex, proper helm enchant, flasks, 2 enlightens, skill gems +support gems which are super expensive, explody weapon was 3-5 mirrors yeah if you had a good proper setup it costed a fuck ton of currency that is now pretty much worthless.

Just cause you can make a scuffed build at 30 ex does not mean people are lying about spending endless currency on it, currency that is esentially gone now.

Just because you got exploited and buy needless items instead of farming for it, doesn't mean it isn't cheap for the ppl that are selling it.

No, losing 150ex currency is the point. God damn it.

You're not losing anything, though.

You chose to buy 150 ex worth of items. You still have them, nobody took them away from you. You're just choosing not to want them anymore, and people are deciding they don't want to buy them off of you for the same amount you bought them for.

Pretty simple economy shit here. You buy stuff, stuff loses its value, it happens, nothing to cry over. But I guess you can cry if you want to, after all cry is free.

Its like buying 3 ferrari cars that the seller say is functioning 1 year, and 1 month have gone and they come back and say it only last 1,5 month. Then they dont work anymore. Thats what GGG have done
