NEW UPCOMING POE 2 Patch Change Summary! | BUFFS & NERFS! | Summoners NERFS INC!

[@mattjesticgaming]

Let us know what do you think about those upcoming nerfs gusy! For me I think we are fine and can do more DMG with our latest upgrade! which ill share a full builds guide soon! Still doing more testing = )

[@Bladesworn]

I am thinking about rerolling a character from Warrior to a Summoner. You think it's still going to work after the nerfs?

[@RedlinesGaming]

blood mage needs so much love especially a BM-Chaos minions build

[@neotamagachi]

I don't even think the arsonist nerfs are the biggest thing in the world but the fact they keep nerfing rather than buffing them makes me want to move off minions all together since its the only super viable minion build and is at risk of getting more nerfs

[@jaziejay1]

Yes other classes can 1 shot everything yet nerf summons

[@mattjesticgaming]

XD

[@dind20078]

Well it's true. And those builds move faster and do not have to deal with minions beeing dumb. :/

[@mrblack6439]

So what are you gonna do? Point fingers on get back at it?

[@Exirock]

I will say that minions need damage buff, i dont mind them reducing the amount which we can summon, somehow fix the huge drop of fps when we fighting with minions.

[@mattjesticgaming]

need better AI tho

[@jaycc2704]

@@mattjesticgaming needs minion attack button to only target the boss with adds

[@darianwolffe2044]

FYI, if you look at the tooltip the “heft” gem gives more DPS than feeding frenzy on the skeletal arsonist. Apparently the arsonist does 100% physical damage and 70% of the physical damage is converted to fire (see SRS tooltip). So physical modifiers actually work well with arsonist.

[@mattjesticgaming]

yep thanks buddy was just gonna make a build on that!

[@vince77-z27]

what, you're talking about Arsonist or SRS? Cause Arsonist deal no physical dmg right? Unless you're talking about SRS for Heft

[@darianwolffe2044]

@@vince77-z27 arsonist is 100% physical. Then 70 gets converted to fire. Exact same as the srs tooltip just doesn’t say it for some reason.

[@vince77-z27]

@@darianwolffe2044 interesting, thank you for the info. Yeah i checked and no mention of it there. We really need that training dummy huh

[@jameslambertus5820]

True. They didn't explain it well enough in the arsonist tooltip. They don't even put physical tag on arsonist gem.

[@Warek200]

i see other classes onehitting bosses left and right but minion build gets nerver... as it isnt enough to deal with stupid minion ai

[@Nyruami]

If they only nerf Arsonists you can switch to Reavers / Vulnerability. You need to change the passive tree, again, but they do pretty much the same damage then and you can still have the same numbers as you had with arsonists, well, until the next nerf. Somehow GGG took exactly the wrong lessons from Blizzard: "Fun detected, can´t have that happen" As if it would make the slightest difference in the monetization model of GGG how long it takes to beat the game. If you buy the cosmetics bullshit, you´ll buy it when it "only" takes 300 hours and you´ll buy it if it takes 500 or more hours.

[@jameslambertus5820]

Arsonist is the only good skele and now they nerf it. I dont understand why they don't want to buff other skeles? You only use skele warriors from scepter, storm, frost and cleric are support only. No one even use skele reavers. Didn't GGG said that they don't want to pigeonhole summoner to 1 ascen also? Basically all summoners here only play infernalist. No one want to try other ascen because the passive skill path are not good enough to try other ascen. Also the pathing for our summons is still bad, sometimes your minions got stuck if you have plenty of them walking through narrow path like in lost tower.

[@pattoman5568]

Stop talking up those boots. They will never be a thing without movement speed.

[@Brix_Creative]

Since witch gears luckily based on summon minions, I think we can switch around to other minion builds easier then other classes nerf. The only downside is probably those who already spent Perfect Orb for arsonist gem. Just my thought, I think the snipers build will get a lot of traction soon.

[@OsgoodOG]

Man I wish I waited a day before wasting 500k gold experimenting with my build 😭

[@Luketh1257]

GGG fan boys saying they buff weak classes and yet they nerf one of the 2 still viable builds in the game lol

[@vince77-z27]

the Volatile Crystal should be the chaos purple thingy they shoot from afar and do nothing until they die, and you die cause they litetally took over your screen

[@critzngritz]

so better gear will not see as much of a nerf as ppl with less than optimal setups, yes nerf the weak

[@weebsarecringe2102]

GGG seems out of Touch with their game looking at some of the changes.

[@voidprism_studios666]

I respecced from chaos to minion for 100k. But i knew all this was probable so eh. I run 17 arsonists. The difference is minimal if it was 14 zombies. If you cant get more spirit, find a way to increase their dmg and vice versa

[@7jers3y22]

Please fix minion pathing through tight areas

[@mattjesticgaming]

yea so bad! the ai

[@serenity3157]

Yeah this is so bad lmao

[@dind20078]

Honestly it is literally stressful to play in tight corridor maps... they are so dumb

[@vince77-z27]

yup, especially in tower with those tight door. Man i hate the dumb ai so much i just re equip scepter to respawn them

[@Micha-dj2nw]

No Sorc nerf, hurray. Archmage build will be probably nerfed in coming weeks though. I do not get the nerf to summon build. Was it so strong? Deadeye still looks to be easiest and strongest (with possible exception of very late game).

[@jibijay]

Dealing with minions is a pain in the butt. They need to improve their AI and make them feel more snappy to play. Right now they feel slow and they are stupid. Half their attacks hit walls and other obstacles and we cant fly through maps like every other class because we have to constantly wait for the minions to either catch up or respawn.

[@isoconfused8744]

when is it live?

[@XicorVT]

Done with the game they care more about nerfing than fixing the game

[@SonnyDa3rd]

Bye go play d4

[@Byzz2077]

it's still in EA you absolute muppet

[@XicorVT]

@@Byzz2077 your mom is in EA pretty cheap too

[@XicorVT]

@@SonnyDa3rd nnah i actully play good games Elden Ring and Last Epoch

[@CortexWorship]

Do we know when the patch is being pushed out?

[@EpixMeal]

How do you sacrifice 2 minions at the same time?

[@mattjesticgaming]

It’s the macrab support gem 😊

[@Ha-fy6zv]

Cries in freeze build up

[@john8890]

Why not buff other skills to balance out the game? All the devs seem to know how to do is nerf everything

[@johnsalamon4850]

😂 nerf everything so everything is bad and then thats where they nerf the bosses

[@Tylos21]

Looks like ill play reavers i guess

[@miltonjota8114]

We'll need to compensate using some great itens. Seems to be more difficult, but .... Passive tree may help? Tks

[@ChillingStreams]

thanks for video and including the link in the description bro!

[@mattjesticgaming]

= )

[@XBLonTwitch]

Something in the background sounds like when my dog has a snort attack lol. Thanks as always for your content/info!

[@redasylum]

Man you made such a great guide as well i hope it will still be relevant

[@FulcanelliTrismegistus]

I anointed my amulet with +25 to minion the other day. I hope my minions don't get to nerfed

[@BinhNguyen-jn7sf]

This nerf is 22-25% for minion build and it will be harder on boss, for leveling it doesn't matter but a bit slowly on starter game (1-30)

[@dind20078]

How does it not matter for leveling. It will have a higher startong cost probably but mroe important slower scaling. A lot slower.

[@MCab]

I came to see what you said about the 25% harder to electrocute and literally skipped the line lol

[@CrazyIrishScot]

Why even make builds and spend resources when they just push out these nerfs weekly!!!!!!!

[@liladonn5646]

You are awesome, thank you for all the information always you’re such a genuine soul and I appreciate you

[@SpecLeader101]

Minions are bad, i dont get the nerf.

[@sirjhin1721]

Matt try out skeletal reaver and sniper a bit slower clear but the single target is insane doing t14maps can do t15 but need to work on defence current setup. Hound use for armour break/tank Skeletal revear pure physical with more damage against bleeding Skeletal sniper with bleed gem and corrosive that strip more armour. Srs for utility same role for arsonist. Cure vulnerable must have 2 cleric for t14-15 but lower maps go pure damage.

[@KingNS7474]

Was arsonists not under 30 spirit cost? As far as i remember

[@khoavu9031]

around 32ish at high level while most others are 40ish

[@dind20078]

Not after this patch.

[@InnovatewithLes]

If they stop making op nerf videos on KZbin then we might not need to keep restarting characters

[@Gamja1344]

I quit. I spent last week reaching lvl 90 summoning 13 arsonists and now I can only summon 10? That is 30% dmg loss and they haven't addressed the clunky mechanics of minions. I'm sure people will find ways but the way GGG nerfing classes are just horrendous

[@gus3143]

hmm they are trying to balance the game. Arsonist is already in a much better spot compared to the other skeleton mages.

[@MT2LOL]

@@gus3143 that means they should buff the other mages and not nerf the ones doing good as they are not overpowered at all

[@MT2LOL]

I reached 17 arsonists with my setup and if they plan doing 40 spirit for it i will lose 7 of them which is literally over 40% dmg nerf for my setup

[@ThirdEyeThriving]

IMO don't nerf anything... people work hard to have a good build. For what? Only for a company to make it not playable anymore...?

[@breakthecode4634]

That's not how math works

[@wtp4110]

I think 35 is reasonable 40 is tm considering its a low level skill. Also they need to fix trial of chaos!

[@Jyliac]

Well your end build has mirror tier gear, you don't need to fear, your first videis wete great but +5 all miniin skilks on a sceptre, the amulet an all your gear is unobtainable for casual players.. make good endgame budget versions and you'll be trustworthy

[@makopp9221]

I don't think they do the reservation to 40 this would be too much

[@Jyliac]

Let's hope it won't be 🙏

[@dtfree4962]

This game start to bored me.. not the nerf but nerf the only minion we can play in 15+ and in some other side don’t give us the possibility to play something else value.. well i think i go wait few month for gem raise spectre

[@wilsonl.cruzruiz3707]

Nah, imma leave minions till they ad raise specter

[@ayceman21]

oh damn all my passive are straight minions only and then the nerf hahah wtf.

[@ksupl]

Boots without movement speed is trash in late game 🙃

[@Abololo33]

And im playing chronomancer.. can’t do anything 😂 dead class

[@Poyoyo7]

nerf arsonists it's not a problem, but other skeletons very bad cuz they have not attack range or big dps without using keyboards

[@Red-Yo]

Legit making which unplayable. Great what a waste of my time.

[@BGriffith85]

Cant use boots without movement speed.. kek

[@ksupl]

😂 yeee again nerf,fuck it😅

I think its time to make new character

it aint even that serious big guy

[@NatoRadeX]

@@Weewooweewoo It is.. If you've been with PoE 1 for 10 years and been through the wringer with nerf hammers countless times then seeing any nerfs this early is just a big sign to stay away. They wont let ANYONE have fun in this one this time around.
