Cluster GigaNerf

I have been trying to get a Large Cluster with two sockets for like 1200 alts to no avail. Of course, I can no longer get Deep Cuts, that's already a big nerf, but being unable to even get 2 sockets, whatever the combo is, makes all Cluster mechanic a VERY expensive, frustrating investment. What's the point of introducing all those wonderful cluster nodes, barely 3 months ago to make them ninjanerfed? Drops are worse this league than possibly ever before, both in currency, gear and of course, clusters. So planning ANY build on clusters is at the moment an exercise in frustration and adds another RNG layer.

Any 2 socket interesting cluster is going to be worth like a Voices. They could well have toned down drops, I get it, but further reducing their usability while nerfing DPS almost everywhere. That's a double nerf for almost any class. Basically they implemented a mechanic last league that only the richest guys will ever get. The weight on those 2 socket affix must be like a feather now. Of course, no real data about it was posted in Patch Notes, if it had, the not so wonderful crafting possibilities would have been even more laughable.

The DPS of a duelist(well, any build actually) on a realist attainable level, is now RIDICULOUSLY low compared not only with Delirium, cause we have no Clusters, but with even Metamorph as new nerfs have been introduced. My Galdiator is now dealing 20% of the damage it was dealing before. Of course, we have now even less loot and mobs keep buffed. No reward, higher risk and some wonderful (read irony here) crafting options. Is not Harvest mechanics that are boring or whatever, is that this game has been nerfed progressively so much that at this point gearing a build capable of doing T16s is a result of pure RNG luck. Now, it's not a matter of grinding, as drops are BAD, is a matter of accepting POE is now this.

This game is at the moment in an horrible risk/reward balance, both in time and currency,difficulty has gone broken, fun is increasingly going down. Man, even streamers will be struggling due to massive nerfs. Do they expect POE 2.0 to be this? Even slower, more difficult, less rewarding. That sounds the formula for failure to me.

Yeah look it reddit the weighting on them were is so fucking bad even with 10 ex worth of alts in most cases you aren't going to hit what you want lol

it wasn't even that easy to roll the real good ones before, dumb nerf.

I probably spent over 20ex rollng the lightning jewels i had in delirium, to get specific things put together.

Sounds like any large cluster jewel with any 2 notables and 2 sockets will be worth a ton in harvest, seems unnecessary to do it like that.

nerfs + harvest league : end of the path of exile 1

hope they will do better in poe2 but im done with poe1

they could've nerf mods weight OR nerf mods effectiveness, but doing both is a very poor decision. one of MANY bad decisions they've done this time around

People have this weird idea that PoE 2 will be any different from what we have now.

It's just a second way to progressing to the end game and new ascendancies.

Dont worry they wont change the way nerfing in poe 2,poe2 is just a marketing becuz of diablo

At this point you have to accept that build enabling cluster jewels are like 3 stat watchers eyes.

They exist but never plan your build around them and assume you're never seeing any.
