wait... what? no more Max Resists for Purity?
" Why don't you work on your survivability rather than bad mouthing the game. Or say something constructive and reasoned. Or are you incapable of any of this? I look forward to your "GGG you nerf everything, don't make exactly how i want, QQ FML i quit thread". Return to this flameless sunder

"True. But that doesn't necessarily justify the particular way they removed it. If some stranger just comes up and punches you, that doesn't justify blowing his brains out with a firearm; the reaction has to match the problem. That said, my feeling on the new Purity gems is that it is slightly over-restrictive. Key word: slightly. So slight, in fact, that it's kind of hard for me to get all QQ about it. So it's slightly underpowered, so what? It's not heinously bad, and definitely more balanced than it was before, even if I have this vague feeling it could have been done better. So although I feel slight sympathy for all these tear-producers, enough not to rip into them (much), I really can't get myself riled up to join them. Thoroughly meh on the subject.

@Scrotie, how much quantity of "meh" equals "problem", to you?
more specifically, if Y is a group containing various overkill-nerfs, designed to beat you into a very narrow corridor of playing options, what is the minimal size of Y to trigger "Scrotie Rage"? also, how do you feel about GGG constantly looking at something that needs to be toned down, looking at a list of balancing/nerfing options, then selecting the absolute worst?

" Ofc. everyone is using enfeeble (well, maybe not in Scrub). Enfeeble should be further nerfed, split in 4 gems: - Enfeeble of Accuracy - Enfeeble of Critical Strike Chance - Enfeeble of Critical Strike Multiplier - Enfeeble of Damage :P When night falls

" You forgot one, "enfeeble of enfeeble: manacost: 900% allows for 30% extra enfeeble on other enfeeble gems." After a 60% nerf on all enfeeble gems ofcourse. Vote +1 to change Path of Exile to Path of Nerfs.
We hate to say, but ProjectPT was right. |

"I'd feel pretty bad about it. But that doesn't apply in this case, because they didn't. Easy example: same change to Purity (of Elements), no additional Purity gems released. Hell, for a well-organized group that's capable of getting multiple +4% max resist auras, the group's max elemental resist just went up. In terms of solo play, I don't think this one's hard to figure out: you pick the one which gives you the most reflected elemental damage. Infernal Blow? Meet Purity of Fire. Choice isn't that hard. Any argument based on elemental reflection just getting worse are mostly nonsense because of this reason. So I guess to answer your other question... "Hyperbole in forum posts tends to do the trick.

" bahahaha Mark_GGG 2012
If you put on your full plate mail, and I throw hundreds of toothpicks at you, you'll basically not feel it. If someone catapults a whole tree at you, don't expect the Armour to prevent as much of the damage. |

I never used any max resist aura, never ANY aura at all, and still I fight those 'high elemental damage endgame bosses / monsters'. (35 days playtime HC). It's a matter of dodging abilities not of +max resists if you succeed. GGG did the right thing to remove this braindead aura and make the player use a bit more brain and skill to win. You can fight Crematorium boss / Piety (first form) / Dominus (1st form) without loosing 1 health if you play it out perfectly. Mistakes get punished harder now, I like the change.

" Look, JohnKeys, lately I've seen you in a lot of threads here on the forums. There is absolutely nothing wrong with criticizing the game, and you do it in a civilized way, so I (kinda) respect you. But it seems PoE is just not your game man. You want less luck, less randomness involved, and I understand that point of view, but the RNG has become such a trademark of Path of Exile that it won't change. It really won't. All the orbs are focused on generating random mods, all the drop are (to a lesser extent) random. That's just how this kind of game is, and it was the intention of GGG to make a game like this. And frankly, I really like the current system, as do many other players. So maybe you should just play this game and accept that the core isn't going to change, or find another one that suits your preferences. The planes and trains are to blame
