Please remove lower rolls from the mod pool

It's been a pet peeve with this game since forever, there's just too many mods and too many variants of mods that you would generally never want to see on your equipment. Life leech on gloves is just useless, similarly having 1-2 extra damage on your gloves is just as useless. Trying to roll a physical Axe is a pain in the ass because you keep getting some random ass mods you do not want. And when you do get all phys mods on your axe, you get them not tier 1, not tier 2, not even tier 4... you can be damn sure that at least one of the rolls is tier fucking 9.

I'm not even talking chaos orb rolls, I'm talking blasting through 1000 alts because the game screws you over with a shit randomizer and a shitload of ridiculous mods that nobody would miss if they were removed tomorrow.

This is against the backdrop of the end game being balanced for the most part around people having tier 1 rolls on their weapons and armor. It's not even a grade of diminishing return where tier 3 is fine and tier 1 is trying really hard for just that tiny bit extra, the scale is linear.

If you want to keep the low level rolls then keep them where they are applicable: on low level weapons. Nobody is looking for a tier 9 roll on an ilevel 86 weapon.

I hate that 1-3 energy shield mod with a fiery passion.

This will literally never happen.

The entire POE trade economy is based around the crafting system. Our currency is crafting orbs. The market is lead by Mirror prices, an item who's value is derived from its ability to make copies of perfect extremely hard to craft items.

You don't have to enjoy crafting to enjoy POE, but complaining about a core system, arguably the mechanic that makes POE great, is an exercise in futility.

Maybe give Diablo a shot?

yeah either remove the bad rolls or make it easier to remove them safely. Random annuls are so... random.

I think this is an issue that was acceptable maybe when poe came out in 2013, but nowadays this isn't acceptable. Itemization is arguably one of POE's weakest pillars of game design because of how trash the loot actually is.

Every good item is crafted, crafting sucks to do. It burns out a lot of people. Getting upgrades from the floor is near impossible.

It is seen as a fomo/time wasting mechanic that forces people to craft endlessly because they might get a result they want. Not through skill, but luck. Just look at how some people craft mirror items, that play-style is very very toxic.

Remove bad rolls?

Maybe the weighting can be adjusted on higher Ilevel items for tiers.


But removal, you're just asking for cheat codes, so no.

I would agree on ilvl 86 bases having higher roll chances.
But thats about it and yes I do craft my gear myself.

What we really need is something that interacts positively with an increased light radius, like a boss which takes mega-damage from it. =^[.]~=

I dislike it a great deal also but i do think there are other solutions to alleviate this problem.

Here's one of my takes on how to resolve some of it

I just don't like gambling personally and it's fine if others enjoy it, I'll keep hoping for a little more determinism than we currently have.
