Raise Spectre Gem did NOT deserve your shortsightedness

They even nerfed all little points of necro ascendancy LOL
I couldn't wait new atlas expansion. I was planning this time to play in standard with my summoner, enjoying new gems and stuff I managed to buy to see how much better she is. Every league, instead of be stronger, my build is weaker. This time it will be a carnage.
They really nerfed everything of summoner: Precise commander, vengeful commander, aura stacking, vicious bite... now rotten claws, renewall and even spectre gem skill.
Considering I only farm to see my char stronger and stronger, here it is only weaker and weaker... I have enough. This time I gonna say you: "ADIOS"

100% GGG has nerfed an entire archetype.

So many other ways to nerf spectres that wouldn't kill the class this way. I guess it was a smart idea not to buy any supporter packs until after changes were posted.

I won't be spending anymore on packs after this.

I was so damn close to buying the 480 supporter pack.. I was so pumped for this league and having that sweatshirt. These nerfs just killed all my excitement. I am a minion player and they basically removed me from the game.

There are way better ways to nerf spectres. Blanket nerfing this way and negatively affecting builds or aspects that didn't need nerfs is absolutely the wrong approach. Not sure how this even went through in this form - not seeing how full patch notes and/or gem changes can make this make more sense.

I agree with OP.

This is just shortsighted and punishes new players the most

This is my big concern.

Old players can try to work around nerf because they know about tanky spectres or they can farm currency to buy better gear.

New players don't have anything really so when they try spectres, it will feel so bad because basic spectres will die easily.

Now they're closer to being in the same boat of mediocrity as skeletons, at least when it comes to league content that has timers.

Those Atlas passives which increase Incursion/Delirium/Legion timers have become a requirement rather than an option if you want to get anything out of them.

Yeah, honestly so far from what I've read it feels their goal was to kill whatever leeway casuals had in this game to make it more 'hardcore' or whatevs.

But for whoever that thinks he's one of the cool guys here, nerfing easiest to go for archtypes in their book was smart. Show em plebs their place.

It's not gonna change how the best players with most time invested are still gonna kill all the content no problem. You can say that's fair, though hence it's unclear why most of the playerbase should feel excited about the changes.

I'd consider myself a new player which relies on guides to play the game effectively. I bought stash tabs to play this league and play kay's spectre summoner. This news has devastated me, i feel like refunding my bought points and skipping.
