Where's the line though is my point. So I decide to make a new char and new build, how do I know they won't nerf the shit out of the next one and I just repeat this cycle over and over because the devs don't like the way I'm playing?
If it's what everyone is playing on twitch and/or plays itself then it's probably over the line
How is this a different cycle from any online RPG ever though?
Expecting them to buff anything is a losing game. Going all the way back to closed beta on PoE 1 they virtually never buff anything, only nerfs to anything except whatever op build they decide is ok to be fotm at the time (hi2u years of BV being 10x better than anything and other skills still getting nerfs throughout it's life as the meta king).
So then I go back to, the devs want you to play a certain way if and you're having fun in a way they don't approve of, go fuck yourself. In what basically amounts to a mostly single player game.
Its no surprise that in a game like this, you go with FOTM build to farm up shit/get started - then switch to a toon you really want to play afterwards. If I was going to make a Warrior, I'd do it now after I've got my Merc to 75. Not only do I have the currencies to do shit now, but I also know how to avoid NPC's, including bosses, damage almost 100% of the time.
I get what you're saying, even though the rest of people are like "be sensible!" - The guy with glasses, johnathan or w/e - Even said that he and his team werent going to make drastic changes during the middle of a season. In my mind, Early Release, is a season in itself. Basic mechanic interactions like that build should have been figured out. Especially when they have POE 1 as a testing ground of past experience. I understand the "why" of it being nerfed. But it should have been a progressive nerf, instead of an extreme nerf all at once.
I've heard that spark through firewall with the lightning floor boost is pretty good at melting shit for sorcs. Most lightning nodes arent that far from the cold nodes so it shouldnt be that ball busting to make the switch and try it out.
