I'm not even sure bow builds are nerfed by the doomfletch changes since gear has different mods in 3.1.

not sure what you mean, theyve said doomfletch is still probably the best bow. Which is saying a lot when it basically got nerfed by like 30%. (i might argue that death's opus could be better)

what different mods?

the barrage nerfs seem pretty significant

isnt it only the merciless enchant?

*ahh they nerfed the uber one too.

I'm fine with that. Not like you used barrage to clear.

oh yeah the abyssal jewels i forgot about those. the nerf makes a lot more sense now. Heck, facebreakers might be busted.

Really wonder how the elder items will workout in all of this. Kinda dont wanna go doomfletch again tbh

. But I REALLY want to try the new mirage support

I've been thinking of playing self cast dark pact, but I'm sad about the +range nerf. I don't really care about the decrease in dmg or the decrease in healing, due to the vaal pact nerf, but the decrease in range is a big QoL/speed nerf.

I think I'll still play it, since it requires no specific uniques and that appeals to me.

I've DP'd without vaal pact and with pure regen. I didn't make it to maps before I stopped playing the character, but I assume the scaling would've worked. Might have been more dangerous on bosses.

I think there are talking points in the POE community that are said once and get regurgitated ad nauseam, and "DP needs VP" has been one of those recently. I didn't spec into vaal pact and it was fine. I also tried it with a life leech gem, and the damage was still acceptable while the survivability was even better.

Red map viable? Maybe not. But a fun build to start on and go through yellow maps at a minimum.

The thing about DP is that on most packs it only takes one cast, so it's not like you're losing 6% over and over again in quick succession. The skill does suck on single target in my limited experience, but dying didn't seem to be an issue.

Wickermen specters are getting nerfed.

There's no other reason for them to be in that post.

Ok here we go, I'll play softcore for the first time this time around, and I'll make it my goal to beat Atziri this time, aka the most powerful endgame boss, what, four years ago?

Anyway, I've played this game for long enough that I think it's time for me to see some actual endgmae content. If only the one from years ago.

You should set your bar higher if you're playing softcore.

Notable that 'sunder' doesn't appear. I'll be surprised if they do something like nerf the RotP shield, making RF more difficult to build, but leave sunder untouched.

edit: also of note is that sunder might actually be in the patch notes tomorrow

Let me beat Atziri first and then worry about the other endgame bosses. It's alsoe a time-investment question.

Before it's been a can-i-stay-alive and a time-investment question.

some cool stuff, couple disappointments (not many old skills buffs, barely any tree changes)

looks like still a lot of new uniques to be discovered thats pretty hype
