Character Balance in Path of Exile: Lake of Kalandra
" I played Sentinel from the start, had so much "fun" dying to 8 archnem mod rares in act 3, suffer to the end of act 10 then skip (before 8 remission patches). Why can't i judge someone's words by their achivs? What's wrong with ur logic? I got it, u don't have one. If you are telling me that u need more competitive and hard content and u can't even kill 1 uber, yea, i believe you for sure. | |
" You missed the biggest nerf which was the changes to charges on minions... Will still probably be playable early on but in order to complete end game content the cost of gear just won't be worth it comparable to other builds. Last edited by Vaildez#6753 on Aug 7, 2022, 12:23:27 PM

" I did a minion build too some time ago, as PoE is the only ARPG that I know of that actually allows a decent minion build that makes you feel more like an army commander. It was an absolute unique playstyle in the argp genre and I had some flashbacks to the Diablo 2 necro that is the only other aRPG that I know that had a army commander. Still though, if you really want to rock the summoner necro, you either need heavy investment in gear, of play motzart on your actives skills. In all fairness I feel the manifesto is mostly a choice from a business point of view. Nerf some of the most popular builds (RF firetrap / necro skellies) to give room to other builds and skills to become the new meta, and of course sell the mtx associated with the new meta. And let's be honest, from a business point of view this makes perfect sense. That's why I also expect to see some buffs in the full release, either on passive, items or the league mechanic. Guess we need a bit more patience, but we will know when we get the full patch nodes... Last edited by 1869Flame#0897 on Aug 7, 2022, 12:26:36 PM

The problem is people complaining about builds or playstyles from watching a youtube video without playing or understanding the builds themselves... A lot of these content creators are trying to put out videos that would attract a lot of clicks on purpose with clickbait titles. Also people complaining about a playstyle being "easy" when most of the meta non-minion builds are literally no different just spamming a couple skils to clear screens.[/quote] Ok. Sir. You know better. Have a nice day! |

150 pages of complaint. I highly doubt they care.
This game is now just like those where you choose among some 5 characters and play linearly until the end. Like, say, Torchlight, but without the mods. The only difference is that in those games, you'd choose your character in the create character screen, and in this one you choose from a small list of working metas on the internet. The game that once had the biggest depth strategy and build potential of any arpg ever in gaming History is just a braindead action game now. "Harder"... right... You just use your reflexes instead of brains. |

" My problem is they come in heavy handed every time with these nerfs... Instead of nerfing the specific skills or builds they come in with wrecking ball and take everything out that even uses a skill in the build. Raise Spectres have lost 10 levels since 8.9? They haven't been a viable option for awhile as far as playing a pure version and most act minions can't even be used now cause the HP is a major problem.

One less aura in league start scenarios.
Guess melee who has to go in and get personal will be hit the hardest. |

Minions will be fine.. Just will need to spend 1 mirror more than other builds for the same effectiveness.
