[Removed by Support] RF is actually buffed, or am I missing something here??

OLD


NEW


Given that Warlock will be absolutely insane for life stacking and you could easily reach over 10k maximum life (currently average RF builds have ~5k life), which means 7000 base Fire damage.
How is this a nerf again?

A lot of people just want a chill league starter where you just walk around and barely do anything. I think that's pretty much it.

Cause they need God streamer xyz to tell them first that RF is buffed and make them a step by step guide in order to be able to play the build in a slightly different build approach. Almost 3 years of the same build meta just spoiled the heck out of most of the players hoho

Crying page for RF and Pohx. More like sheepfold.

It may be buffed for people going balls to the wall all-in. It used to be a skill you could slap on during the acts and level with, as well as progressing through the endgame. The entry level of RF has skyrocketed.

And bringing up a temporary league feature to argument a buff? Just another example of them nerfing something directly in the long run, and buffing it indirectly in the short run.

Now I'm even more disappointed in him. He even wrote than now you need to reach 7,2k life to be even with old gem. [Removed by Support]

It's meta shifting dude. You need to do things differently. But it's definitely not a nerf.
I've reworked my builds for over 2-3 year period to adapt to the changes.

Also, for something that requires 0 effort to play you better do your part in PoB.

Spell life stackers are literary going to be one of the strongest builds this league.

"This league". And afterwards its the dumbster. Why is it that people can't see past their next meal like they are dogs? We had the same nonsense with crucible where a bunch of "people" went "OMG this league had the most powercreep in decades why do you even complain about nerfs!!!. Well, where is all the crucible power now? Cuz the nerfs are still there.

Besides, being able to play a skill in a totaly different way on the high end while it's basically dead on the low end is a nerf no matter how you frame it. It's not on the level of seismic cry where the gem got essentially removed but RF as a leaguestarter is no more.

I don't think there is any point in doing otherwise is the thing Baharoth, we don't pick the meals and all current suggestions point to each league now being significant power creep which is then removed afterwards as kinda a false facade on real changes.

And to me that's fine, I don't care if the base game changes each time I care if its fun each time. Now I hated crucible but I still got like 4-5 builds out of it that i'll never be able to play again that is OK in my book and considering I thought the league was trash thats probably a win in GGG's book.

as to the OP RF is gonna be fine but its been changed and probably be less faceroll to initially get setup but I'm expecting it to be just fine once the more experienced players have explored the options and min/maxed the new one.
