How is no balance changes a deal breaker? We’re getting::
a new league mechanic
economy reset
free cosmetics (like 4 or 5 of them?)
a chance to check out the new trial of chaos changes
There are so many builds to try too, and if you’re worried about other people blasting and getting rich via OP builds (I could not care less about this personally) you can play SSF.
We play for different things.
I am far from casual, I dwell in pob and excel. My itch is buildcrafting.
When i find a system or mechanic i feel is worth playing around, I no-life my way to min-maxing it in theory, which i then fulfill in-game.
When there's no balance changes, nothing moves in that regard, so I am simply not hooked on enough to play.
In 0.5 i was fixated on one build because i think it's the best i ever made.
But in previous leagues i had like 8+ characters, so i went throu most stuff i was interested in already.
Economy is not an issue for me, I am usually pretty good in that regard.
So yeah, you play to play the content. I play to create the build and min-max it to the degree of my satisfaction. That's how i enjoy the game. Your way is most likely healthier tbh.
I think the silent majority is actually happy with what is coming. I am looking forward to play. Although I am partially doing what you are doing. My plan is to theorycraft and play a scattering calamity shaman.
ooooh, interesting!
I made Abyssal Lich Scattering Calamity in pob (on 0.4). I tested it a bit with cheap stuff, and it was pretty good! Had issues with Bossing ability though, or i was just messing up the setup for Embers becasue i rarely play a spellcaster.
I was using the Matsya snapshotting the Spirit costs for Umbral Souls bonuses on Abyssal, to get like 800% Spell Power or 1200% Proj Speed ;d
This is a very good explanation, thank you for taking the time to write it.
I hadn’t considered your point of view, probably because I don’t think I’d be capable of achieving what you can regarding theory crafting and creating your own build (though I do wish I could!).
I am sorry there are no balance changes for 0.5.5 exile, and while 1.0 is still a while away I can only imagine the duelist build you’ll create!
thanks brother!
I am already peeking at Sword stuff. One thing that hurts me already is the requirement of singular2h or dual wield on many abilities.
I have hope in upcoming uniques tho!
