Raise Spectre Gem did NOT deserve your shortsightedness
" Well, look at the bright side, finally you can try playing a different build for first time in your life, instead of playing spectres every single league. Edit: Tho you might be shocked to see that many builds out there arent as powerful as summoners.

" This would've been the first time i've tried the build. poor wording on my part. I should've said I have been planning to play kay's spectre summoner. |

" Some players, like myself, enjoy one single playstyle. Hell the only reason I got into PoE and still play it today is because it's the only ARPG that is remotely similar to Diablo 2, specifically when it comes to Necromancer. Diablo 3 fucked that up royally, Torchlight lost their opportunity after the first game, Wolcen is downright awful, and Grim Dawn failed to deliver (which is sad, considering the devs made D2). 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. Last edited by Pizzarugi#6258 on Jan 11, 2021, 9:09:23 PM

" Well luckily for you, I do play skeletons. I main them, in fact. Their clear speed is awful compared to spectres to the point you'll get little to no reward in league encounters where time and speed are important. Reaching any respectable depth in Delve is completely off the table, too. PoE players: Our game has a wide diversity of builds.

Yeah, devs do love timers in this game. But it's no problem either for the mario kart bros, who can afford such power levels with their builds.

" Pretty much this, haven't had a previous nerf hit my hype for a league start at all. And this is really killing it for me. It honestly just feels like either a rushed balancing job with little thought put into the effect on minion life from the level loss, or intentionally gutting the gem to kill an entire archetype. Nerfing individual monsters that were too strong was the right approach, treating Raise Spectre as an archetype in itself rather than grouping all of the different builds that use the gem together.

I've just requested refunds for my stash tabs i bought yesterday for this league. I've lost all hype, this will hit my friend circle as well as we all want to play together.

Spectre lvl nerf
I see its the dealbreaker for many. Thats good. I, myself, tried many builds too. Spectres were less destroying my wrists tho, so I played them alot. If there will be no adequate replace for that style - I think I avoid to play PoE too. No support this time also, prolly. Gamy should provide fun and recreation, not dishealth and stress. GL GGG at your balancing! |

Maybe we summoners should boycott this clusterfuck of a league?If they dont change the specter gem.
