So, you think they should nerf CI, crit, ES, and all manner of other mechanics, INSTEAD of nerfing a single unique item?



No I was simply pointing out 2 other things in path of exile that are broken beyond belief:

Chaos Inoculation: Maximum Life becomes 1. Immune to Chaos Damage.
This Negates all negatives of energy shield and allows players to go pure energy shield which grants insane amounts of effective health compared to any other alternative.

Shavronne's Wrappings - Chaos Damage does not bypass Energy Shield
This Negates all negatives of energy shield and allows people to use the life they had to run more auras.

But you chose to complain about

Atziri's Acuity - Leech applies instantly on Critical Strike
Which negates reflect... IF YOU HAVE ENOUGH CRIT CHANCE TO ACTUALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!

Seriously, how much crit chance do you actually need for these gloves to be reliable? 50%+? 60%+? How many build/item variants can even reach that much critical chance.


Just lol....

I cannot be bothered to explain the negatives of going ES

Well, I hit 80% crit chance on a naked character with a prophecy wand, with the new skill tree.

with a fast dagger or a fast wand it would be more like 60/70% crit chance respectively (again, on a naked character)

so yeah, no big deal.

i am including power charges though.

So the major issue still hurting the game is the performance, I have a new mid-high range computer and in full parties in end game maps I still drops to 10 fps.. surely this has to be made a priority at some point..


This was always my no.1 complaint. I was always being told to get a better pc, get an ssd. While I can play FFXIV, Dark Souls 2 or other newer games, I cannot play in a party in POE even on lowest settings.

Now I did buy a new pc (nothing hi end but way better than the previous and with SSD too) and will see soon. Probably it will be better but nothing amazing.

THeir engine is too old and now they are only milking the cow from existing fans.
Instead they should work on a new engine. But they said the plan is for 10 years. So we have at least 7 more years with the same engine. GL with that


Yeah the game is not optimised very well for bad pc's but with your new computer (assuming you got a good one) and the ssd you will only notice dropped frames on max settings when the screen is completely and utterly full of mobs with 6 players spamming skills and someone pops vaal skeletons.

Thats the only time its happened for me with my new machine

first of all, if u are going pure es u still have the drawbacks of stun frozen etc. while the acuitys have NO drawbacks, saves points from getting vaal pacts, AND IS BETTER THAN VAAL PACT. and crit is easy to scale with all these new crit nodes. please....

edit : 1es does not equal to 1hp...

so cool, good idea on this Chris

Maybe we could start talking about something else than those gloves. I think most players just don't give a damn about them, and the change to their drop rate is imo not AT ALL the most important thing in the patch notes.

There are a lot of more interesting changes that impact way more players.
For example, Shockwave Totem and Viper Strike rework, new properties on several curses (Life leech for every damage with warlord's mark, this is something that is gonna change a lot of things).
Also increase of lightning base crit chance (5% ??), Reduced Mana for all classes, etc...

I feel this patch brings alot and shouldn't be reduced to the Acuity part. I'm really satisfied with most changes in 1.2 and can't wait til release ;)

1) buff vaal pact, and/or move it closer to the CI area


I will rest my case with this quote. The only reason hes complaining is because vaal pact is not closer to where his build needs to be to get it, his build that is CI.


And please, frozen? Dream Fragments? Dispel flask?
Stun? What ES build doesn't have insane amounts of stun recovery + flask with stun recovery...


The point is, the complaint is about these gloves being the end all be all gloves because they negate reflect, yet there are plenty of items that negate tons of other (sometimes deadly) mechanics in the game. You guys just choose to ignore them and complain about a rare pair of gloves that help some builds negate a particular mechanic that you feel isn't fair.



But seriously, lol@Veruski. Plx move vaal pact to CI area!

They are the elephant in the room, so to speak.

You can pretend it's not there, but it certainly won't make it go away.
