Herald of agony is garbage to a high tier build it's entire purpose is to be a starter LOL these people thinking it's OP cuz it's an ACTUALLY GOOD SKILL THAT'S SOLID.

OH BOY IT'S OBVIOUSLY OP CUZ IT WORKS!

Man you make me mad.

Honestly even the 1k balence team is better than most o you.

What are you babbling about? HoAg Occultist killing UE in sub 2 min nearly effortlessly is only a good starter? I mean, I know you love attention seeking I_NO but you could at least try to be correct.

Cool ring but reading how OP HoaG is and how it needs to be adjusted is a bit far. I bet a lot of the people posting about it haven't even played it themselves and just read whats posted and take it as face value. Eventually there isn't going to be anything fun left in the game because everything just needs to be "nerfed". Don't complain later on that there's only a few skills everyone plays but were already at that point for the most part.

Its clunky but kinda busted, it really doesn't have a defence its the best zero point skill by a mile lol.

As to the reason people only play a few skills that is on the grand scale of balance, about 200 skills are too weak, about 5 are too strong it isn't complicated to see why people call for a nerf.

You have to factor in peoples general playstyle obviously as it could be that buffing all 200 is the way to go to keep the feel of the game good but i'd argue that buffing 200 skills to the level of Arc, BV etc would make the game a joke, I prefer to have to take my time with gearing and progress a little slower but thats a personal taste thing.

All I know is if you buff everything to the level of my explosive trap char this league we'll be clearing everything in seconds and just changing what it looks like, I really don't think thats an improvement people shouldn't always be anti-nerf.

In this case HoA doesn't need a direct nerf it needs a sideways nerf, its clunkiness balances out its DPS but it should probably cost a few pts to specialize rather than 0, having to take/source a bit of minion damage would go a long way but its a fine line to tread as ostensibly its a support for poison characters (lol yeah right)

Looks like a dope ring.

This suggests a nerf may be on the way for HOA which I hope won't be the case as I intended to league start or use it for synthesis after using it for support with my toxic rain this league.

GGG if you are going to nerf it, please hold off for another league.

if there's a herald of purity version, that could be an instant best in slot ring for facebreaker builds

Not even close. lvl 21 HoP gives +33.5 phys dmg, 80% increased HoP effect will add +27 phys dmg, with no other stats this effect will be comparable to 10c rings. Any steel ring crafted with Deafening Essence of Contempt and 1 open affix will be better.

@codetaku, you were right:

Let me guess now... as rare as divine Orb drops? GGG can make all the rings (gear) they want but if gated behind super low chance to drop then for 99.9999% of players it's "what's the point?". More fun fails than a barrel of monkeys. All PoE players are part of GGG's old thought experiment "infinite number of monkeys" meaning that if there are millions of players (infinite is impossible) riding the PoE merry-go-round daily attempting to catch the brass ring will eventually some one get it? Or are millions of trash drops just millions of disheartened players? GGG certainly has a strange way of thinking that this will entice us to play more and buy mtx.

As for my personal reasons that I'm still roaming the lands with my Kiwi pet it's all about build diversity. I've long since abandoned any hope of getting any build very far into the 90s, the map grind is off-putting and then some, and also abandoned any hope of creating a build to get to Guardians or anything beyond (who is this Shaper and Elder that elite players say are wimpy now?). But with the magnitude of skills/supports/tree/gear combinations I'll always have that even when GGG creates an even deeper hole than the one I'm in this league for the next league because there is some one somewhere that will always climb out of it and GGG will be "what?... How did that happen? We must make PoE even harder to get to 100 next league." I can still see the streamers/no-lifers on the other side of the rift (gap between casuals and elites/no-lifers) but it's getting wider and wider such that it's a strain even with binoculars to see the other side and soon (probably by patch 4.0) they will be over the horizon (to hell and gone from 98% rest of players) and GGG will only be hearing them and what they desire in PoE. Meanwhile (since we casuals are over the horizon and GGG can't see/hear us) it's the "let them eat cake" metaphor. Sad, so very sad that GGG has coded PoE into an arpg only for the slavers/no-lifers in the endgame. I wonder what it's like to run a high red map and complete it? Yes, yes, I must strive to "git gud" or "git out". And no, no, I do not want a wimpy arpg (I quit many other arpgs because of this) but GGG, in trying to stay ahead of the streamers/no-lifers/racers, has left everyone else in the dust and this will eventually destroy PoE (already has for many). I don't believe today's PoE is the GGG devs idea of "the arpg we would most want to play". Far from it but they are forced to "skate or die" and can't ever slow down (the speed train is in full throttle out of control).
