blue life niggers still mad because their crutch is getting nerfed ;)

shitcrows out

can blue life 'tv while they strand' shitters that joined in 2.5 not think they have a say in the conceptual nuances of life and es

this is without discipline as well
i sure fucking hope so

es has been way too strong for too long

300 ex invested into my build

can't kill unshaped strand boss

why are 1ex CI builds allowed to outperform me

when will GGG balance the game

please

somebody help me

...

heh.....u porffags r just mad.....that ES requirs reel thoght.....

ull nevr be as smrt as me.....lifefags....

>increased ES from tree: 299%
>6k ES
so this is the power of chaos inoculation builds... heh, not bad...

these motherfucking sneks are reking my shit m8

i remember pre-1.0 CI

oldfags WW@

6k es with absolutely worthless gear you mongoloid
6k es without discipline which adds another 1700
7700 fucking es with easily rolled gear

>LIFE IS GOOD UR JUST BAD

So I guess the entire community, developers included, has been wrong for the past few patches and everyone just needs to git gud

>Am I out of touch?
>No...it's everyone else who is wrong.
>t.Bluelifeanon, notorious cumdrinker

why are CI builds allowed to have freeze immunity

or stun immunity

MOM that's not fair

MOM PLEASE TELL GGG TO PLAY THEIR GAME

Keep whining baby, going to be all the more hilarious when your toys get taken away.

Life is not "good" but life is fine

if you lack the funds, you can make up for it in skill, as evidenced by 6k life killing Shaper aka the absolute hardest content in the game save maybe for Uber Atziri

and yes, the majority of the playerbase is utter shit, this includes 99% of reddits and backseat retards like (You)

nu-ES is powerful because it's allowed to scale to massive degrees without suffering the QoL burdens of old-ES

virtually every league since open beta, barring some dips, has followed a trajectory of solving problems ES was supposed to originally incur

this leaves no identity for life other than as a red healthpool (as opposed to blue life's blue healthpool) supplemented by comparatively ancient defense mechanics and seething flasks as its ostensible """strengths"""
yes

*grabs all energy shield nodes in the tree*
*reserves 35% of my mana for no real reason*
*equips anti-stun gear*
*equips anti-ailments gear*
*pays for a lab carry*
heh... check out my overpowered blue life pool now... jelly yet kid?

>skill

Not entirely and you know it. Shaper is still a DPS check, and his check gets more strict the less life you have.

You can't walk into his boss room with white armor and TAS-tier dodging and positioning abilities and kill him. Even with 6k life you still need really, really, really good gear and a lightning fast movement skill (god help you if you aren't using whirling blades) to actually win since he has what might as well be an enrage mechanic.

>*equips anti-ailments gear*
pathfinder

>>*equips anti-ailments gear*
raider

>no real reason
There isn't a single aura in the game that gives you as much effective HP as discipline does

it's even better than the fucking 50% auras

>>>*equips anti-ailments gear*
deadeye

every CI build is pathfinder/raider
every CI build is occultist
every CI build is guardian
every CI build has stun immunity
every CI build has infinite charges
every CI build costs 5c to gear
every CI build reaches 30k ES
every CI build is white monsters near a crit shrine proof
every CI build is self-reliant instead of needing a supportcuck

why won't GGG play their own game? those CI builds are getting out of control

Considering i've seen videos of a duelist doing endgame content with CI, if you think that the class furthest from fucking ES nodes still doing an ES build isn't the biggest fucking problem you've ever seen you can fucking kill yourself because i'm not going to kill my brain cells reasoning with your ass.

>both status immune ascendancies are ranger

DEFEND THIS RETARDS

gonna point out that inquisitor is not immune, it only prevents

this world (of game balance) is an illusion... Exile...

notice how blue life shitters address no statements and continue to draw up illogical strawmen, as if they have no basis to stand on

>Even with 6k life you still need really, really, really good gear
well that's an issue

let's nerf Shaper's health by 500% so that life builds have a chance to kill him with their 4L and level 17 gems

can't have anyone's feelings get hurt or we'll lose the trust of the playerbase this game was built upon

path of exile is by far the most imbalanced piece of shit arpg ive ever played and ascendancies only made things worse

at this point why hold any delusions of balance and let everyone eat their cake. Just keep the numbers from hitting D3 levels and I'm sure it'd be fine right?

wow, nice posts

guide to my ci vaalspark inquis

mom I saw a duelist go CI

if that's not conclusive evidence to overhaul the entire passive tree and game mechanics, I don't know what is

there is design and thematic precedence for ailment avoidance which fits the evasion archetype, see: crystal skin cluster which i'm pretty sure 95% of the playerbase doesn't even know exists

streamers ruin games like poe because of all the redditard fankids who copy everything they do

kripp regularly made a mockery of these people by making some shit build while pretending like it's awesome and having a good laugh at the thousands of drooling mouth breathing retards who would buy the items to copy him

the same fucking this is still happening with shitbirds idolizing streamers like mathil

from GGG's perspective what's the point in putting in massive effort to design dozens of unique build archetypes and then properly balancing them when the vast majority of the playerbase is too stupid and lazy to do anything but copy their favorite streamer

notice how the t12 is my ceiling shitters address no statements and continue to draw up illogical strawmen, as if they have no basis to stand on

almost as if they lack end game experience and rely on reddit to form their opinions

>15% chance to not get fucked by literally 50% increase damage taken, burning to death and being frozen in place for over 10 seconds

yeah such a good node why isnt everyone taking it?

>50% increased chance for my skill to hit a little harder and the buff only lasts 10 seconds
lol why would I ever need power charges

i fucking killed guardians as 7k life cleave you shitter

???

>MFW did shaper for the first time this league

you picked a bad time to get cocky, nigger

now suck my dick, slut, maybe if you're good i'll give you some of my "energy shield" from my dick lmao

alkUpset

*gets slammed by vault boss*
*dies*

WHEN WILL GGG PLAY THEIR OWN GAME

>Relying on a 15% chance to not die
>comparing this to 50% chance to deal more damage

im gonna go play dragons dogma instead of responding to these absolute reddit tier posts

>joking about vault slam

that shit is legit deadly if you have any +damage map mods

nobody tell this guy the game has mechanics that stack upon themselves

while we're on the topic of chance, why rely on unreliable lucky crits instead of reliable resolute technique

*sip flask*
now im status immune and dont need to waste 5 points on a an unreliable defense

retard

you're literally projectshitter tier if you die to vault boss, I don't care what mods the map has, this is 100% a player being a shitter issue

i'm not justifying it, i'm pointing out why it exists

it shouldnt even exist because its a retarded idea, just like evasion is

*smashes 12345 on my occultistguardianpathfinder*
now i'm a literal god for 5 seconds and don't need to waste brain power or look at the screen

does GGG play their own game?

i have enough wow tokens to buy d3

should i do it poeg?

excuse me but evasion is at least better than armour

i mean yeah but unironically

like that blade vortex guy that did black screen shaper

thread idea: someone without multiple level 100s in hardcore with every build archetype needs to keep their dumbass mouth shit wrt balance

hey
news flash
no one employed at GGG that has any say in balance has ever hit 100
so dont even go there retard

turns out analytics and game tracckers matter more than one shitter who struggles to get past t12 will ever say

WOW you telling me you don't balance the game around some shitforbrains' feedback? S H O C K I N G

i like 'blue life 'tv while they strand' shitters that joined in 2.5' keep their dumbass mouth shit wrt balance

except change 2.5 to closed beta

>there are 9 posters in this thread but a reply every 0.5 second

really makes you think

*scribbles notes furiously*
thanks for the valuable input poeg

I'll pass the info to Chris and you can expect some serious changes to Vault boss slam damage values in 3.0

life will be fixed, don't leave the game just yet, you and your opinions are important to us

thats nice but let me tell you about discord

this blue life shitter is really trying to bait a guy that stopped posting 20 minutes ago lmao

Make sure to get a reply in between maps you feel me gotta keep this shit on the first page.

they should unfuck Koam's Heart though seriously best in slot Regalias hit 900 ES but koams can't have 1000 life with -no sockets-. Doesn't fucking add up man.

>thinking picture
didn't even look at the post

every and each opinion matters, even those posted 20 minutes ago

so far I got:

vault boss hits too hard
life isn't viable past t12
you can get 30k es on 1ex budget
evasion needs to be removed
ascendancies need to be removed
unreliable chance-based mechanics need to be removed

did I miss anything?

...

>No supporter packs
>No signature

didn't even look at the post

*adds to the notes*

life has no identity
strength classes and ascendancies are worthless
marauders and duelists need to be removed

hmm very interesting
but I'm just the messenger, I'll let Chris review the list

maybe we should change the discussion to:
>Energy Shield, a 100% reliable replacement for Life competes with Evasion, a chance based mitigation that is unreliable, and Armour, which is decent at protecting you against small hits but is capped at 90% and isn't worth investing into over Energy Shield.

Roses are red
ES is blue
GGG cant do no wrong
if u disagree u can suck my dong
I just killed shaper
and chris wilson is a raper
if u ever played frost blade
ur never getting laid
its not a real melee skill
stop taking hrt pill
------------------------------------
Armor is point for point better than energy shield - Davinci

sick bars familia

so what you're saying is point for point life is better than es

really activates my neurons

millions of data points don't matter

I didn't get any returns in 5 maps therefore my anecdotal sample size invalidates all the data GGG ever collected because I'm special and my mom told me I'm always right

do they play their own game

it's that energy shield never should've been allowed to become blue life in the first place

ggg has completely bent over to acquiescing the proto-xbone audience they've cultivated because 'having weakness isn't fun and es shouldn't have to deal with ailments or stuns or regen or leech or sustain because life doesn't have to'

why ever have different mechanics in the first place, those only create illusion of depth

just make everything the same like in D3 and let people have their fun

Just about to finish this strand
new zealand has to be radiated land

cause these niggas at GeeGeeGee
either refuse to or just cant see

that their game is a joke
and unplayable even when u toke

player interaction bein forced
while some newbie bein coerced

to sell his items at a scam rate
im gettin tired of this shit, its gettin late

im goin to bed, to rest my head
sometimes i just wish this company would be fukken dead

>es doesn't protect against chaos damage
>evasion doesn't protect against spells
>armor doesn't protect against elemental damage
>only es has a keystone that removes its limitation
explain this, poetards

>Maximum life becomes 1

>15% MORE energy shield

>The strongest Blood Magic builds use ES as their main health instead of life
cant make this up

>Immune to Chaos Damage
>>Chaos Damage Does Not Bypass Energyshield
>>>Chaos Damage Does Not Bypass Energyshield while not on Low Life or Low Mana
>>>>Chaos Damage Does Not Bypass Energyshield during Flask duration

*reduces my 10k life pool to 1*
nice at least I got 15% MORE blue life out of it lol

>10k lifepool

impossible with rares

*loses all my life*
nice at least I'm immune to the rarest form of damage in the game now haha

cut my life build into pieces
this is my last shaped strand

auction house when

poe.trade is a pain in the ass to get a hold of people

trade chat is dead

their social experiment trade system is shit

dear /poeg/,
I bought the currency again
Anime grils need not be smug
please.

*adds an essence drain exile to the game*
heh... life based builds will now regret not going ci...

evasion now has a keystone to be immune to spell damage

armour now has a keystone to be immune to elemental damage

there, game fixed
that wasn't so hard

no need, just boost life pool so it is comparable to ES pool or make armor actually useful as a protection against strong hits.

buff everything

nerf nothing

also we want set items

>I kind of regret the fact that I've ever opened up reddit, I think it's one of the most retarded places I've ever observed. It's really bad.

is alk our guy?

That's some serious dedication

Will we get some kind of ascendancy reset with the inevitable passive tree reset in 3.0? Have they said anything?

damn... only 5 unique posters

>doesn't care about spouting retarded opinions, just plays the game and enjoys it
>doesn't try to be a drama whore, just plays the game and enjoys it
>doesn't cater to retards or babysits dumbass who can't do a wiki search, just plays the game and enjoys it
alk is basically the antithesis of reddit but this place is reddit 2.0 at this point so he's not really our guy either

considering how absolutely fucking hard alk's chat dickrides him in here i'd say it's the complete opposite of that

alkUpset

Taking CI with vaal pact should disable the use of flasks

I'd love to see the backlash
