Sceptres Design Issue 0 discuss

Right now scepters are in weird possition.

99.9% People only wants to use the Rattle Sceptre because its only usefull and maybe Omen Sceptre for Critical aura (that you can only get half 5-7% at a very slow rate not full 10% crit making it kinda pointless)

All of the other scepter have useless skills on them. Can we get some more interesting scepters.

The situation is bad already that anything that dont have +3 minion on scepter is useless trash anyway no matter how good the rolls are.

We need some balance here.

Maybe add Greater essence that adds minion modifiers ? Why are we the only one w/o it basically banning us from crafting any items.

They are balancing minions to be purely cosmetics.
There are more minion nerfs coming , not buffs, as some monsters are stil lat risk of dying from necro cosplayers.

It is all designed so that you get a hint and don't play minion build.

Honestly Its how I feel to. Its not only nerfs but general massive neglect of minion playstyle compared to poe 1.

We have 0 build variety. Most skills dont work with minions because we scale of minion dmg and everything else scales of spell dmg.

Missing Runes on scepters.

We got nerfed to the ground in every and all aspects from scalling to skills and gear rolls.

Not a single decent specter except Vall guard that fries your GPU.

Any good specter got disabled faster than you can post it on forums.

SRS is borderline unusable now and the skill is tedious to use. Bah we cant even use the skill to benefit its 20% quality as you cant get 11 srs summoned even with firewall and max 8 on flame wall... At least make it 3 summoned per cast FFS. Its not fun anymore.

Gear crafting is nonexistent for minion users because we dont have minion essences and our 1 and only affix that is basically 0.00000000001% chance to show on items. + minions skill level. Any items w/o it is trash as nothing else comes even close stat wise.

Basically all you can do get random item transmute, augment, trash it. if no + minions on it. In 350h i never got a decent craft in over a thousand trys.

They have to do something about it its really sad and with current loot being almost non existent even in T15 maps its not helping. I barely have any currency drop with 100% rarity...

Its even hard to sustain waystones if server is unstable because waystones are so rare now.
