Live preparation of 1.2.0 patch notes

Holy shit Death's Harp is gonna be so good to level with now!

Shaveronne's Revelation change... does that mean it's going to be droppable again? if not then why change it? Is it so people can't divine theirs now?

And undo all the effort they put into rebalancing low-life Spectral Throw? :S

And why is it acceptable to you that they do just that for group players and not for solo players?

A lot of changes lately are hurting solo players like curse, aura and MF nerfs compared to groups that can carry one player with all those bases covered and improved even when it comes to auras and curses.

Generosity has an opportunity cost associated with it (not benefiting from the aura) which on a case by case basis creates meaningful choices Do I want +4/5% Max Res on my allies and myself? Do I want to give my entire party + minions +10%?

Given the abundance of auras already present in builds, a support gem enhancing auras for one's self makes it a mandatory pick for anyone going heavily into auras and even for those not doing so.


Don't get me wrong, I solo a lot (80% of the time) but I think that enhancing auras (which are already strong enough) for solo play can only lead to selfish behavior in groups and offers no choice as far as build efficiency goes (you take it or you take it). I'd imagine a better solution exists although not one I can think of on the spot.

Interesting thoughts. I can definitely understand that.

This is getting quite heated. I like my popcorn idea even more now.

Generosity was added to add more incentive for group play and that is a good thing.

No, if somebody want to see aRPG as solo experience and don't like to play any MMOs.

Generosity is huge step into PoE MMOisation and even if it could buff my summoner, I don't like it as I don't like MMOs.

crude bow attack speed boost is also a quill rain boost! :D
