Character Balance in Path of Exile: Lake of Kalandra

horrible. golem/zombie/spectre witch will not deal damage at all due to +2 gem lvl removal. was crazy expensive to build as it is, now crazy expensive and useless.

~GGG~
Problem: Ward is niche

Solution: Slightly reduce cooldown and add new ward cooldown recovery

~Fact~
Problem: Ward doesn't let us invest into it from the tree or in any meaningful way outside of niche gear or Olroth's Resolve. Basetypes are standalone pieces.

Solution: Let us invest into ward from tree as an actual defense type instead of niche access. At least ward defense on jewels or clusters???

Personal Solution: Ward lasts x hits instead of bloody 1 hit wonder that could be removed from the tiniest sneeze of a weta.

It's legit still supporting the idea of THE BEST WAY TO NOT DIE IS TO NOT GET HIT OR KILL IT FIRST.

I like ward. I want to invest in ward. I don't want to lose an entire defensive layer every 1.45 (assuming all perfect rolls of 58%) - 4 seconds if a white mob looks at me the wrong way, or an enemy ball lightning hits me a single time out of x.

Well, you do you.

Expedition was a great addition to the game but I have no specific positive remembrances about the time.

Let's try once again, right?

What on Earth is your definition of "Solution"?

It would seem you want (even more) people to stop playing this.

Why?

Noooooo

Couldn't be better, the remaining build archetype that was keeping me attached to this game now gone forever, at least with the investment I'm able to do in a league period, so, I'm proud because this game was my game addiction nemesis for years, but now, after 6k hours played, I can finally quit forever and live my life. Thanks GGG it was good while it lasted.

Bye to all those who played one playstyle and are malding over this! Goodbye! Good luck finding something...uh...more your speed!

In other news, keep it going, GGG! Great work, as always. Looking forward to the league mechanic(s).

Yea, i dont get it. Yhey could buff miniion side of elementalist. now minions are way more expensive and even more shitty. and i dont know why. they are bad already. Horrible change. GGG realy hate casual minion players lol

I understand that you have to nerf things, but once you go overboard .. It's like you want players to quit, many have complained that melee is in a horrible state, what do you do? Nothing again for the 4th league in a row, where is the buff to skills that's not used very often? Cleave,Viper Strike to name a few, I doubt you have any idea how to buff them, but you forget this is suppose to be an ARPG not RPG.

It feels like one just can't have FUN in the game anymore. I want to log on and boom, start having fun. But GGG just won't allow it.

Its not intricate anymore, its contrived, convoluted, and frankly boring. I thought perhaps POE is dying, but I don't think so anymore. I think I'm growing apart from something that I loved and believed in so much. Its a shadow of the game I remember and loved.

IM SO GLAD I DIDNT GET THE BATTLE PASS!
