Game Balance in Path of Exile: Echoes of the Atlas

“Improve interesting stats on Ascendancies, while removing less-interesting or less-essential secondary stats. This brings these ascendancies closer to the style and design intent of Path of Exile 2's ascendancies, where notable passives have fewer stats, but are individually more impactful and interesting. For example, Quartz Infusion on the Raider now grants Phasing at all times, and a 15% chance to dodge attack and spell hits. Previously it granted a variety of ways to gain Phasing, a damage increase and a smaller attack dodge value.”

That 40% elemental damage increase made frost blades Raider possible. Great, we’ll be able to dodge everything but take 2 hours to kill Kitava. I guess GGG wants a 0.0% player base to use that ascendency.

Well thanks GGG for nerfing two of the go to builds for disabled people aka golems and spectres now we can afk in town all day^^

Love the balances.
It seems to me like they hit the correct things. Nice!
No buff to Caustic arrow?

Thanks for nerfing every single minion build. Now I don't have a single build to play next league. Thank you very much. F this...


they didnt nerf arakali dagger build summon animate blade summon animate guardian build.

you guys need to check out other minion builds out there.
Can't say, that I appreciate the attack on pure aura bots. I'd prefer it if you made the aura stacking more demanding in build choice but don't collateral the bots by addressing the problem of last league. Wrong screws turned if people like the guardian don't get any love for this.
I'm interested in your ascendancy-changes for them.
Funny to see how all minion/golem players crybabying cuz GGG just nerfed the most popular type of build.
I'd say that aurastack and carrion golem builds should be nerfed again, cuz they are just stupid.



And while every summoner crying about being nerfed for 10-20%, melee still being dead and not a single summoner even noticing that every melee skill is just 100x times inferior to summons. And currency investment should be astronomical for melee build so they can be on par with some carrion golem 30ex worth build.

If 30% of the whole league playing on minions than THEY SHOULD BE NERFED.

As a minion build player. Those nerfs are very well deserved. People say "They're op because of aura stacking" Yea yea... Did you even play the Carrion Golems without it? Just invest some 40-50ex and kill A8 Sirus in his last phase even before he teleports. Yea what an aura stack.

It's good to nerf them this much. They're angry because they won't be able to kill Sirus with 4-5 seconds without even moving. And also they won't be able to do AFK Blighted Map farm.

I like the nerfs and buffs. An ARPG game has to be balanced and I know it's so hard to make it possible because of endless numbers of builds.

Last leage 30%+ of players were playing Minion builds. Do you know what that means?

I saw someone says they're nerfing the "popular" builds instead of "op" ones. Why do you think they're "popular"? Becase they're ******* OP! Clearing the map as fast as lightning and face tanking Sirus with full investment. That's not the Endgame Build, that is a Endgame ******* build.

Well I won't say anymore. They're only thinking their own asses not the game itself. Just continue like this GGG, love you!


Yeah, bro, just invest in 30 fucking exalteds to make the golems OP. Surely most players aren't poor and can actually afford that much to make golems that strong!


It's not the games problem if you can't make even 30-50exalted in first month. It's because you don't KNOW this game and you NEED to do some practice ^^


You can't practice what you don't know you were capable of practicing with.

The game does nothing to tell you of ways on how to make currency, and given how bloated it is, the amount of time doing trial and error to figure that out is far more time consuming than its worth.
PoE players: Our game has a wide diversity of builds.

Also PoE players: The [league mechanic] doesn't need to be nerfed, you just need to play a [current meta] build!

MFers found strength in their Afflictions. They became reliant on them. I am not so foolish.
Why the prices of Ilvl 84 clusters are 30 ex now?
They will get legacy. New value = 300ex.
Lol
