    Another one to my collection 1041/ 915 in my collection tab , 13 alt arts/race rewards to go , 9 demi's missing.

    We don't like "one-shots"--but if anything has been hard-gutted throughout PoE's history, it's *defenses*.

    Posted: 23 Nov 2019 10:22 AM PST

    Leech/sustain:

    • Vessel of vinktar gutted twice. (30 charges and instant recovery -> 60 charges but at least recovered mana).

    • Vaal Pact on shadow/ranger border -> in duelist area that only doubles leech rather than makes it instant (vinktar feels pretty worthless now).

    • Atziri's Acuity from instant leech on crit -> VP on crit for 4 seconds. Vaal Pact used to work with Ghost Reaver -> now only works with life.

    Curses:

    • Enfeeble/Temporal Chains gutted against uniques and rares to be half as effective (read: basically negligible?).

    • Curse effect/quality capped (thanks, Ghudda!).

    Block:

    • Spell block conversion (Rathpith Globe, Stone of Lazhwar, Saffel's Frame, Reckless Defense) went from 50/50/75%/20% of block converted to spell block to having some token amount of spell block, meaning spell block is essentially no longer a thing if you aren't a gladiator.

    • Rumi's Concoction nerfed twice, from 20-40 block/10-20 spell block to 15-30/10-15 to 10-20/5-10. The item is basically godawful now.

    • Acrobatics at one point didn't punish block. Now it does.

    • Loss of block nodes from tree.

    Energy Shield:

    • Gutted once due to the loss of infused shield (15% more energy shield behind Chaos Inoculation), along with reduction in tree bonuses and reduction in base values of all ES items.

    • Gutted a second time by hard nerfs to dense fossils, witch ES start, Occultist losing flat ES/wicked ward to tree. Trickster some minor nerfs.

    Trigger skills:

    • CWDT at one point didn't have a level restriction, then received that.

    • Warcries stopped from interacting with CWDT (no more endurance charges from enduring cry off of CWDT + immortal call)

    • Immortal call CWDT interaction completely removed, replaced by steelskin.

    Other keystones/combos:

    • Eldritch Battery used to convert all ES into raw mana for fueling MoM + arctic armor.

    • Arctic armor used to mitigate damage by a substantial flat amount, combining with MoM for a defensive combination that reduced large hits from mana, and small hits from arctic armor. Arctic armor then reworked into its current mediocre state.

    • Iron Reflexes used to not remove eva bonuses from dex.

    Auras:

    • All auras used to reserve a flat amount of mana. In the meantime, when's the last time you saw someone running grace for their 50% reservation aura?

    Flasks/resists:

    • Ele resist flasks no longer give max res, but % elemental damage reduction

    • Loreweave max res nerfed from 80 to 78

    • Basalt flask nerfed from 20% reduction to 15%.

    • Divination Distillate lost its max res buff

    Uniques:

    • Lightning Coil nerfed from 40% to 30% damage conversion.

    • Bringer of Rain gutted from 15% block and 200 life to 160 life and 6% block

    • Voltaxic gutted from 100% to 60% chaos conversion

    • Taste of Hate nerfed from 30% to 20% damage taken conversion

    Other things:

    • Gluttony of elements removes curses so you can't temp chains yourself. (Technically, this is a buff.)

    • Vaal Immortal Call completely removed as a gem possibility.

    • Master Surgeon rendered utterly irrelevant with 2 separate gates behind flask charge generation (one flask at a time, 200 ms cooldown).

    And I'm probably missing god knows what else.

    Long story short: those are a lot of nerfs. Anytime someone actually does find a good defensive mechanism, GGG goes and hits it with nerfs--multiple times, even. Of course people are going to gravitate to "kill everything before it can kill you clearspeed and shapers-per-second meta gogogo" when so many defensive mechanisms have been hit so hard throughout the game's history.

    If people want the "one-shot or be one-shotted" meta to stop, then why not, and hear me out here, actually make defenses worth investing into? Because looking at that huge laundry list of nerfs, if there's one thing that's clear, it's that if someone finds a way for their build to actually be able to defend against things without being a juggernaut with the clear speed of a tortoise, GGG is going to come and hammer it.

    Edit: if people want to talk about "power creep", can you pour one out for my Perandus Pathfinder which used old master surgeon (10% chance to refill all flasks per crit) with 50 stack blade vortex while maintaining max block/spell block in front of 9.8k ES and instantly leeching that back with old vaal pact + ghost reaver + chaos inoculation interaction. Trust me when I say: characters are nowhere near as strong as they were in any aspect besides maybe damage (and I'm not even sure about that, considering the removal of things like DoT double dipping, and frost wall + pierce).

    If anything, we lost a ton of power in most ways except for "fair, raw damage".

    Discuss?

    How about giving Bear Trap the ability to ensnare too?

    Posted: 23 Nov 2019 03:21 AM PST

    Functionally, Bear Trap is functionally almost (if not completely) the same as Ensnaring Arrow, so I think it's only logical Bear Trap gets this addition. This would also increase the utility of Bear Traps.

    [Suggestion] Blight League in Core will do in a single map

    Posted: 22 Nov 2019 07:30 PM PST

    End of league Vaaling had a nice suprise for my bow.

    Posted: 23 Nov 2019 04:57 AM PST

    Is it just me or do lab enchantments for gloves absolutely suck?

    Posted: 23 Nov 2019 03:32 AM PST

    I've tested out multiple enchants for mapping and bossing, and NONE of them provide any significant benefit due to their high cooldowns or extremely situational uses (there's a reflection enchantment that can tank aggro, which is great, but worthless if you're clearing things quickly already). It seems like these are only semi-useful for leveling, but late-game whatever slight damage bonus any of them give you is completely insignificant compared to what you're already dealing.

    Posted: 23 Nov 2019 11:13 AM PST

    can we have 3D art for Atziri's Acuity in 3.9?

    Posted: 23 Nov 2019 07:18 AM PST

    Hey Atziri's acuity art looks really cool but the 3d art looks like old normal gloves , would be nice if you add 3d art for those gloves

    New to the Game, Wish I Started Sooner!

    Posted: 23 Nov 2019 09:58 AM PST

    I think I hit level 10 last night (ranger), my wife (wizard) hit level 8 since I started before her and got her interested.

    She's loving it too.

    Someone level 70 or so wanted to party up, so I said sure to see what's up and maybe they wanted to kill some boss for us....well they gave me an insane bow I could use and a few sets of boots I can't use for 20ish levels but they look amazing stats wise.

    I was blown away.

    Coming from Loving Diablo, Diablo 2 and kinda just liking 3 I am having am absolute blast and wish I started this game sooner!!!!

    Hooked!

    Apocalypse Shroud Astral Plate

    Apocalypse Shroud Astral Plate

    https://preview.redd.it/azqebvnsfe041.png?width=657&format=png&auto=webp&s=813721e9be49554d5fd5f1d1ea65daf18258d991

    I know astral plates get posted all the time but I'm pretty amazed at my luck and wanted to share.

    Crafting Process:

    Was using Serrated + Pristine + Sanctified to craft and ran out of sanctified so hit it with a couple of serrated i had left over. 5th serrated in i hit the suffixes that also came perfectly divined.

    I then scoured off the prefixes and threw around 12 exalts at it for a bit till it was T2 Life + T2 armour and crafted %life and used it.

    I just got 2x Leo bench and had a few extra exalts so figured I would play around with the prefixes some more see if i could get it better. Scoured off the prefixes, went to my best buddy Leo's workbenches and slammed T1 Life and +1 Support Gems.

    crafted suffixes cant be changed divined life to perfect and then crafted additional curse.

    RIP 1% quality to the vendor it goes.

    Small request of the day: Dont delete party chat log when leaving a party

    Posted: 22 Nov 2019 05:34 PM PST

    It spans from actual useful conversations being lost, to a simple "t4t" not being delivered because you write it and then the guy leaves from the party. I dont think there is any reason why the chat log should be voided like that - if you want to hide it after leaving, you could still disable the party chat manually (which is, right now, disabled as soon as you leave a party).

    Probably very unimportant so i dont think anyone gonna care, but i want to say that i do care and think it would be good :)

    Starting deep delving in standard

    Posted: 23 Nov 2019 09:48 AM PST

    SHould I immediatly aim at dex stacking builds ? I don't have the gear for this at all, but I do have a HH so should I try something different ? I have most of the gear for a HH/Jugg similar to uberdan's, but I am not sure how viable it is compared to standard economy. Also, are sulphite scarabs enough to sustain without niko rotas ?

    I delved to 1000 in blight and I am now addicted. My job doesn't allow me enough free time to hope for deeper than 1000 in temp league but I figured this might be a motivation for long term standard.

    Any of you did the switch ? I have about 150ish ex in standard so I cn afford a few things, and HH is already here. I am all ears to your advice !

    I hope this league does not put GGG off from trying Tower Defense mechanics

    Posted: 23 Nov 2019 01:20 PM PST

    I think tower defense mechanics could work in a game like this and be a lot of fun. I don't think this league went the right direction (there weren't many choices and it was more like a clunky abyss sometimes). But I would to see something like a tower defense on your hideout or something of that nature. Especially if was slow played.
