Question: will the pseudo-snapshotting with additional curses items be removed as well? that one actually seems legit.

EDIT: though it seems bothersome, I would use if I had the items and at Endboss only.

Quite clearly stated at beginning of video; ALL of what is demonstrated will be "fixed" (nerfed.)

So about that Summoners being unplayable without snapshotting, it's not entirely true, but they are so overnerfed that they badly need it to high-end maps, else the Summons die in a split-second to anything.

Also the early game of ANY Summons, are you kidding me, can you please start buffing them? They are pretty much "keep these gems on weapon-swap whilst leveling, because you won't level with this shit lol, go grab your generic Spectral Throw, Flameblast and/or Searing Bond ;)", I really hate the current phase of this game.

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.

Yeah you have no idea what you talk about here man.. Getting to Lv 78 is like a cakewalk, it's 80+ where you start getting to the "high-end" maps, where your Summons dies to pretty much anything that involved double added damage or just crit, etc.

I bet these bosses you talk about is the typical shit "casual" (sorry if I hurt any feelings) players are scared of, like Kole map, which is a cakewalk aswell.

Summoners aren't fine, they have been complained about for ages, and for a good reason, they are way too weak early, they have a really strong midgame, but high-end map they are pretty much forced to re-summon 24/7 and with the current phase of reserving all of your Mana into Auras, good luck re-summoning 24/7.

ATM, PoE have a stupid playstyle they should look into.
