My burning arrow went from 36 million dps to 9.

The game needed massive nerfs. Many skills were just ridiculous and needed to have downsides. Flasks were op (probably still are). Nobody can deny the insane power creep over the years

I like the changes, a step in the right direction. Obviously poe playerbase will whine and cry, this happens every patch notes

What’s funny is GGG backtracking on their own decisions, they literally designed ascendancies to specialize in certain areas, now they pretend like it wasn’t intended

U agree with you 100%.
The game has become the next diablo 3 where people can get to endgame within a few hours and within a day can be geared and beating everything.

I was actually excited to see they are finally doing something to combat the creep.
It will be a process as they waited so long that there are so many things to consider now. I do believe it was needed though. Hopefully it brings back some nostalgia of playing in the closed beta days :)

you mean literally the top 1%.
playerbase gonna plummet if they keep doing this, same reason wow is dying, apart from AB being dogshit.
Can't cater to casuals but balance around the top 1%.

I'm a casual and can still get to endgame within a few hours easily.
Its not hard with the amount of power creep the game has accumulated over the years...

You guys know zoom zoom meta came because literally everything is time gated right?
How does slowing down the meta change the fact that if i want to do delirium i need a minimum base line clear speed that is able to keep up?
Potion changes just mean more pointless deaths.
I quit after playing through act 1.
