Why Purity? I need this aura for my SOLO play Summoner Witch (to be more precise: for the Minions), not sure why GGG nerfs this aura, I doubt "everyone" uses it because you basicly need it only if you can't reach max resists and besidesthat I doubt these poor little 2-3% extra resists over 75% make any difference. Could understand if the aura would give maybe 95% max resists but not 77%.

I'm really disappointed that basicly with every patch one or more of my builds and Skill mechanics are nerfed because some players may "abuse" something of that.
I play solo+selffound, the game is already hard as hell this way! Why does GGG still only balances tha game after Multiplayer/Progamer content that will always give reasons to nerf stuff? Again, that's not valid for single player!

agreed

If you only use Purity for your minions and don't think the +max resist is valuable, then why do you complain? In the video you can see Purity at level 7 with +17% ele res. Which is exactly how much it provides right now.

I can understand why a game which earns mainly from cosmetic mtx would like to encourage group play. After all- how else would you show off all the cool horns, scintillating effects, glowing baubles and pets that you have? Having other players see how cool you look could encourage them to buy their own shiny things, and thus the game earns money to keep going.

But seeing as how the game is much easier and rewarding when played in groups makes me think that the turnover rate for group players may also quicker- mainly because they reach their goals faster, faceroll end content, find best uniques etc.

The solo player takes longer to reach his/her goals and thus stays around longer in general. And this is a good thing because they tend to become more loyal to the game and stick around.
As a mostly solo player, I've spent a lot, gotten some effects (even though I don't have anyone to show them off to). I did this because I'm loyal to the game and want to show my appreciation and support for GGG. But all these recent changes really feel like punishment for solo players and make me feel like there is little interest in keeping the solo playerbase.

TLDR: Please try to find a better way to balance the game and keep it challenging for groups without making it virtually impossible for the average solo player to play.

My thoughts & feelings exactly.

GGG, read this post a few times over and stop trying to make a MMO out of this ARPG.

But still not sure why GGG is so mad about additional max resists, as if +2-5% is so much more. Mobs have higher resists in PoE than the player can ever have, I'm sure.
