Is the plan to still allow snapshotting for RF?

Nope. They'll fix just snapshotting itself. No more snapshots.

And im done with POE till next expansion and free resp...

Please tell me Righteous Fire gets l8r'd by this too, and the aura stack for the Shavs/CoE Dagger build

If they make all duration effects dynamically check for associated bonuses, snapshotting will be gone in all shapes and forms.

It really had to be done, the concept was a legacy from a time when it was technically impossible or very difficult to remove, there's no excuse for it to exist anymore.

And we already had some skills that don't snap, animated guardian, for instance, would unsnap itself on every area change.

Aura snapshotting gone.
RF snapshotting gone.
Summon snapshotting gone.

Bueno.

Will you nerf uber atziri for next leagues?
Or make uber atziri items possible to drop from normal atziri with a really low chance like 0,01%?

why dont you guys from GGG works on new content instead of removing a oviously required mechanic (minions snapshot)? Aura snapshot, not needed, removal is ok, RF snapshot, will hurt much people, but its contornable, but removing minion snapshot will kill the build, unless you guys really buff minions bcz summoners are simply unplayable without snapshot

no way :D
Gibrid Summoner+Aurist not for me.
omg... cast 10-13 auras every time on new map... no thx..

Sounds like Chromatic gonna be in high demand to get off-colors on 6 sockets for many players lol
Rest in peace to those who spent lots of time getting expensive uniques to snapshot with, you guys deserve a moment of silent.

Good riddance of snapshotting anyway, could spend more time on playtime than setting up snapshot.
Thanks GGG ♥

Not true. Summoners are still hella strong without snapshot. On the last ladder I facerolled my way right to 78 maps with terrible gear and no snapshotting even killing bosses that most other builds would run in fear from fully geared.
