I prefer drastic changes over 'smaller' adjustments at this point. CI/ES has been too strong and meta for the longest time now. Any smaller change would just lead to people adapting their builds a little bit and be the same in the end again. This totally throws old builds out of the window and forces people to think differently about ES all together now. I love it. This obviously isn't the perfectly balanced final state but that's what the beta is for. The general concept should stay like this, though. Atleast in my opinion.
"balancing ES and life", for what i saw, they just made ES pointless
NIIIICE NERF THAT SHT GUUUUUUUUD!!!!!!!!
no point even playing "official" game until custom leagues exist. i will stick with my own P server for now.
I think this will be interesting indeed. I really don't know why people are so butt hurt about this? Just try out different builds.
i dont think these changes are all too extreme honestly. definite step in the right direction and like ziggy said, people need to remember these changes arent final so make sure to get on the 3.0 beta and give ggg some much needed data if you care so much about your es builds.
Y'all trying to say this is a good thing but I bet that none of you will play ES after this.
Remove Vinltar, and game balanced.
no buff to life at all? so now both are going to be weak...hmmmmmm
Queue the "Path of Life builds" comments.
The most important goal of these extreme changes is that GGG will now be approaching Life and ES with the same mindset: "make all defensive options strong enough for all content." This is clearly desirable over "make Life good enough (hahaha AW fuck you) and ES is mechanically unbalanceable so we'll just ignore that."
This was a very well presented video Ziggy, you have my respect, sir. I think you made very good arguments and your opinions are very conducive to starting a great discussion!
ZiggyD mate, you rock. Watched a couple other videos about ES/Life changes and only yours is easy to follow and very fluent. Especially for a new player. o/
Great writing Ziggy, I feel like there has definitely been a steady improvement over the years, and it's really starting to show :)
thanks for a great summary Ziggy, and I think your ending point was spot on :-)
Thanks for explaining this!
these may be small changes but all combined its going to be HUGE
I've only played two pure ES builds so far. One was way way back near the initial beta/release and one this patch. Pretty much what Ziggy played here but the flurry variant. Now I knew why making sustain life builds from scratch was more fun; you felt involved, both in planning and in playing.
ziggy do you know if pierce with caustic arrow will still increase the degen after 3.0, just coz it isnt based on initial hit
In the notes they mentioned getting rid of %es crafting on rings.
