It's EA but they are stick to "no nerf" pollicy ruining EA experience

definetly a weird choice, i would have expected them to balance more frequently, like they did after launch

I would just like to add that there's a few other builds which are meta atm... GGG, please don't just pay attention to howa builds! PLEASE!

They are at the forefront of the worst offenders right now but there is no way they ignore the rest (for long anyway) .

Yeah nobody needs HOWA or heralds to clear juiced maps or even bossing atm. Most of the builds popping up now are very high investment, but HOWA has been a main focus of many people since like week 2.

And I agree on GGG's stance. Mostly. If they nerfed heralds Id be OK with that because it really does trivialize mapping and seems unintentional since the heralds are not supposed to inflict ailments, but outside of that I have no problem with them waiting for economy reset to nerf things.

As a main Invoker i would be fine with Herald being nerfed because Invoker is just too good at mapping , but i do not see why Herald should not be capable of inflicting Chill when it is already not capable of inflicting Frozen . If you disable Chill from Herald , Polcirkeln will probably become a terrible ring instantly ... close range explosions are proc' with Ice Strike which insta-freeze mobs ( no need for Chill + Polcirkeln when you melee a pack ) , long range explosions are only proc' by Herald Chillin + Polcirkeln .

Remove Chill from Herald is imo not the best approach , i would rather they nerf all that damage directly or put a cooldown similar to the one limiting Rage stacking ( it would limit these insta chain-reaction of Herald explosions ) :

All sources of Rage gain on hit are combined into one source. There is a shared cooldown preventing you from generating Rage on Hit from more than one hit every 0.5 seconds.

Adding that cooldown would force us to also use on Herald other Support Gems than "+Crit vs Full Life" , "+Dmg vs Low Life" and so on which made it that strong in the first place .
