Unnerf manastacking and uniques.

It's kind of sad how formerly useable uniques were overnerfed.

Things like Dream Fragments being nerfed from 20% to 10% and thus being made completely unusable makes little sense. Bring it back to like 15% at least so it isn't strictly worse than an average rare in every way.

Mahuxotl was another unique able to scale mana that was completely gutted for that purpose. Imo it could've been fine at ~300% increased effect of runes with 2% mana soul cores being an option. Giving up +3 to all spells and other stats for like 20-30% mana is not a good idea for most builds.

Everlasting Gaze, brought from 20-30 to 6%. Completely useless item now, a reasonable nerf to like 15-20% might have it be somewhat interesting although most would still likely drop it for a +2 or better amulet. Now however, there is no reason for this item to even exist.

Darkness Enthroned, the new belt item could've let you stack a bit of mana with the helm socket version, but again is tuned to be so weak it doesn't make sense to, given what you have to give up for it.

Supports like Mana Flare, Elemental Discharge, Burning Inscription and other mana or int stacking things could all be interesting choices but don't see much use in part because of this tuning.

The only reason I can see is that they didn't actually do these nerfs for balance. Their goal had always been to make sure nobody plays the same builds again so that they can say there's a shifting meta and the game is balanced.

For that to happen, they need to nerf those uniques so heavily that nobody in their right mind ever considers using them again.

I just don't see any other reason for the kind of heavy-handed nerfs they do that essentially removes these uniques from the game.

Im gonna tell you a secret here. Dream fragmens has ,,you cannot be chiled or frozen,, and this season is full of a vomit map mod called chilled ground. So you sacrifice some resistances and damage to keep your sanity. But yea dream fragments is crap and even bigger crap is frozen ground. About why nerfed? Ggg has always chosen a builds your going to play for you in patch notes. Its always written between the lines ,,you will play this or you will have a really bad time,,. Unless you are in the mazochist club that prefers to engage in combat with white t1 mobs kiting them for 5 mins
