[@Lolcohol]

What's your theory? Is 3.25 going to be BUFF league, or NERF league? :O

[@daan942]

I hope its gonna be like creative mode as celebration of last league before poe 2

[@SpecShadow]

both on top of heavy micromanagement league

[@jgmweston]

​​@@daan942Yeah I'm in the same mindset. This feels like a fun send-off for us taking the boat over to PoE 2.

[@Coreuptted]

Gotta be buff league cuz I swear necropolis fell of but then again I didnt play much cuz I got bored of the mech

[@johnshvets8593]

basically every league is a nerf league or a hidden nerf league lul

[@dreamcore_gg]

BIG CHANGES INCOMING 🚨 Defence stats gained from gear being more important is a very positive change I think, a step in the right direction

[@AshliBlattgold]

@@dreamcore_gg nuh uh, not good, I wanted to make an armour stacker next league and GGG decided to be mean to me. Why Chris do this?

[@JoespressoGaming]

I agree 100%! I also think moving power more to items gives more flexibility to the passive skill tree in general

[@user-zo8cw3qv1j]

@@AshliBlattgold Armour Stacker Meta might be shifted from Aura stacker to something else, which i think is great move! Armour stacker is basically aura stacker

[@erman7342]

@@user-zo8cw3qv1jAura Effect stacker lol

[@Cryttanz]

I really hope a mid tier set of gear ends up with more defence overall with the expected aura nerfs. Don't make it so you have to have triple t1 defence stats for this to equal out or outshine previous defences 🙏

[@rakiest]

That is all they have ever done though? Every single league I have to work just a little harder to have exactly what I just had 3 months ago. It's like if every 3 months you got a pay cut at work. That's what this game feels like now, and frankly i'm sick to fuck of it and ahve been since 3.15

[@Ilyak1986]

I mean...a discipline at level 20 gives 217 ES. Even if it gets chunked in half (which would be spiteful), that flat 100 ES should be easy to make up with the new tiers of gear. ES *definitely* seems like the huge winner here. Brass Dome is also going to be getting a gigabuff, and that's fairly affordable, all things considered.

[@holgerbitter4268]

@@rakiest simple sollution for that problem. stop buying the overpriced "supporter"-Packs. why should they change, when the money comes in anyway. the moment, they loose money, they start to change and do what the customer wants. one allone makes no difference, but enough will change the attitude of ggg

[@VincentKun]

Determination nerfed ? I have 6 portals man

[@jstu86]

In typical fashion - they are removing flat bonus from gems (easy to get) and moving it to items with high end rolls (not easy to get). This is a clear nerf to player power for the 99% and a clear buff to player power for the 1%. Which camp you sit in dictates whether good or bad.

[@AdrianVisan]

Depending on the bases we might get more defence overall, but armor stacker are most likely nerfed as they scaled aura effect to get those massive numbers

[@user-zo8cw3qv1j]

I planned to start as trickster, and now with new tier of Eva/ES base - i kinda pogged even more (For those who dont play as Trickster - Eva/ES base is best in slot for Trickster, cause of Ascendancy "Escape Artist" that gives +1 base ES for every 6 Evasion on Body armour, which in terms of ES - makes Eva ES base have highest ES, even higher then ES base itself) Hope same goes for all items, including Helmets

[@Sal_McCoy]

Making BaseTypes chase items again will be amazing. PoE has become too easy to brute force content with broken builds and trade. Increasing the difficulty of content and the scarcity of gear required to do that content is a good start. I want T10/T11 to be the rush and T12-T16 to be the grind like the old days.

[@turbot4rd404]

They need to bring unique defences up quite a few notches to compete because body armours like Shav's, Kaom's and Carcass Jack are virtually dead items outside of maybe SSF or new players without much money. Take Shav's for example, 377 ES and chaos not penetrating energy shield versus a 700 ES rare body armour on a CI character with two eldritch implicits and half decent suffixes etc... come on now

[@martinfraedrich3944]

Missed u man, thanks for the video and ur effort!

[@archetypical1694]

Would love to see the addition of some other defensive auras like a suppress and ward. I think it would add to more build variety and options.

[@NightfallGemini]

I'm tentatively cool with it, but determination offered so much flat that time will tell if the quality %more shores it up

[@nathanfay1988]

Oof the int requirement on that body armour

[@Strickl3r]

As long as i can farm the new bases in t16 maps i am fine with it. Skipped last league. No idea what t17's are but sounded to me like they are not just another tier that you can roll your prefered mods on, but something else much more difficult -.- Other than that, if the new "system" makes homebrew-rares stronger, i am down with it, since i casually craft all my gear regardless of trade prices, just to have rolled the dice...So new better bases, yes plz...

[@iury472]

i just wished that they deleted determination from the game and rework how armour works. Armour is so fucking outdated at this point that need to be remove in the current system.

[@invisibl367]

3:35 - that's how the game was supposed to always work btw, idk why they figured it out right now.

[@martins2246]

it would be cool if it was 16 only for new armor-wep bases

[@MAHDI_3848]

You are the real Wolves of Wall Street 😂, how attentive you are to details 😮👌

[@Dinofrogg]

I wonder if theyre adding in new bases is because theres now too many uniques that share similar bases so they need to expand it abit but also giving more values to crafting and rare gear.

[@GhostAlgorithm]

Shifting the benefits on Grace/ Determination onto gear where it belongs, making those defensive rolls more meaningful is honestly a great change. If Determination/ Grace feel less "required" and allowing other auras to stand out as more immediately viable choices, I'm all for it.

[@Lolcohol]

That's what I'm hoping for too. If the new bases are so good that we can match similar numbers to existing bases with auras up, that's a win

[@Hukas01]

I remember Kripparian having this take with someone at GGG about ruthless and how a char invested in armor passive having less armor than someone with determination aura. Tbh, even if this is a nerf, feels justified.

[@xXVintersorgXx]

Looks like they are pulling it off the aura and putting on gear. And leaving the more multi on aura makes it more useful for characters that have invested in it. I think armor stacking is gonna be insane this league

[@dmitrysuchkov7818]

Thanks for the teaser's summary. Comprehensive and intelligible like always

[@uroboros4428]

Important to note is that the Determ has huge reduction in mana reservation as well.

[@Lolcohol]

Maaaybe but I don't believe so :( the character in the vid was running three 50% auras, a 35% aura and Clarity and low life. I'll nerd out over the maths later but pretty sure it's just LL and lots of reservation efficiency

[@uroboros4428]

@@Lolcohol From 50% down to 26% at max lvl? That's wild.

[@TalkativeTri]

Great teaser wrap up, dude!

[@samgreen8582]

It's already hard to get perfectly rolled gear tho... So maybe I'm not understanding, but seems like you now need tier one mods even more

[@martins2246]

I bet 2+ more levels of armor and weap, and defensive aura nerfs across the board...of course you want tthe highest number D but defensive auras were becoming too dominant in the meta math.

[@rob1570]

Thanks for doing the math for us!

[@torplayesgames]

bruh the added so quality on armour has the More multiplier

[@CC-xb4rn]

What if for the 1000- armor on determination, and grace, they now cost 30% mana reservation , instead of 50%?

[@Lolcohol]

That would be great but I doubt that's the case :( we can hope!

[@Hukas01]

Sirgog has already mentioned this and no number works for reservations to get to the % in video.

[@germalganis]

I foresee a lot of powercreep

[@weaze5583]

we are getting these new bases but most of the people use uniq items there.

[@Lolcohol]

Not always! Might mean new tiers of gloves, boots, helmets too aaaand...new bases need new uniques too 😬

[@lennyghoul]

Aura nerfs hit minions...again.

[@rutessian]

This tier numbering is stupid. If they lvl 83 or 85 armours with better stats will they be Tier -1?

[@kylemarston6822]

Make determinatrion as 35% aura

[@DoPtRiGGa]

It might be, you can see it's only costing 26.04% on the video but I guess it all depends on how much res efficiency that char has. Feels like 35% is more likely IMO tho

[@992BlackShadow]

Is guitarholic an actually diff person or an alter ego??? Guinely curious.

[@guitaraholic]

Be careful who you ask that too....... peeking behind the curtain

[@xecutioner1234]

Will definitely have to grind some grave crafts to recreate some of them in standard on the new base types with recombinators :D

[@AshliBlattgold]

RIP armour stackers

[@Fitzgerald9140]

F

[@gocalixto]

I wish, but those guys with 3 passive voices and infinite money will still do multi-milions and be almost unkillable, something more has to change.

[@loganmaster8400]

I guess we gonna go back to saving a lot bases type to use later to sell

[@fajkoson]

melee league.. wild strike inc!

[@fistan5447]

5:00 Its like 1335 ES with T0 base with perfect triple prefix + 15% defense enchant. I kinda dislike this power creep, they nerf one thing then buff it in a different way, if they wanted ES to be higher, increase the damn rolls, dont add new bases ffs.

[@Awkshu]

New bases = bigger numbers. login!

[@thatguywastakenagain]

Let's make a wild guess: It will be BUFF league but people will think it is a NERF league :D

[@proxis9980]

news flash 99% of the time people have no clue....they q.q befor necropolis was that we woudnt get the "dropfest" from affliction and it tunred out that instead we get even MORE ridicoulous t0 drops.....powerlevel down q.q?! nope double/triple fractured double influenced items exist now.....

[@pTk91]

hey man! im getting hyped for this league :D

[@Lolcohol]

Me toooo!!

[@the_gengar_master]

We need more defenses GGG not less 😂

[@jgmweston]

It looks like gear will count for more with the new bases and quality changes. Hoping that and the new higher tier life mods will help.

[@toriiibby]

💜

[@nepoznatheheh1757]

First view of any video, achievement unlocked :D

[@anktyk]

so its a classic nerf something by a lot then "buff it " by a little to "look" okayish, even though its nerfed, classic, well ggs

[@SH-fw3mj]

7:51 T17 dropping ilvl 78 item?! It's clear you don't have the slightest clue what you're talking about. To the fellow subscribers; I'm out, this dude isn't worth following!

[@GrimHC]

Bit late to the determination train

[@Cbge_Monkey]

[@Cbge_Monkey]

@@Lolcohol thanks dude, we all need someone to filter out the garbage for us :D

[@Njordin_Dehro]

There hasn't even been a full announcement of the league yet. And streamers and bloggers, as usual, are in their cesspool of fantasies to increase views. Well, where do you get all this from? There will be an announcement and you will shit yourself and delete the video or put on a sour face and say, well, I guessed it or what will happen to you? Just wait for the announcement
