Congrats on destroying Voltaxic Rift

Honestly, if there is absolutely nothing in their databases that describes the item itself to the degree that an automated system can easily determine which items need to be checked and then have mods on said item corrected if needed, then GGG did a terrible job of designing their databases. Applying some non-unique identifier to at least unique items in their database would be rather simply and add a negligible amount of data to each item.

Voltaxic "destroyed"? LOL - what?

Reducing the conversion to 60% doesn't kill it at all, not it will still be the go to bow if some other things will stay roughly the same:

- Scaling potential on the tree aka no/little change to projectile damage nodes accross the tree
- Lightning Arrow and Spark only get a 10%-15% damage nerf
- Duelist Champion perma fortify stays in the game, even when in a weaker form
- Pierce gems more multiplier isn't removed/heavily nerfed

If this is the case, the meta will stay roughly the same --> Voltaxic LA/Voltaxic Spark Champions will again dominate the ladder for another 3 months.


I hope they will nerf chaos damage further than just conversion on a few items - not having 100% conversion on buids that purly scale elemental damage/projectile damage (like Spark) don't get nerfed in damage output at all. Grabbing Vaal Pact isn't that much of an effort since those builds usually are located in this part of the tree.

Removing the ability to leech for chaos damage would nerf Spark a little bit for sure, but it won't affect Lightning Arrow at all! If GGG decides that Chaos damage initially can't leech you only have to do one little thing. Grab a Hungry Abyss jewel and proceed as normal by taking the leech nodes on the tree and/or gear. Congratulations! You have the same leech capability as before :^)


GGG, please i really don't want to see another Vaal Spark/Spark, LA Voltaxic league for another 3 months - we had that for 6 months now; it is time for a meta change.



Regarding Consuming Dark/Infernal Mantle - that is a whole other topic. Consuming Dark was used primarily for spells. Spell elemental reflect is far more devastating than attack elemental reflect (can be evaded/attack dodged) and it is much harder to get sufficient leech ala impossible without a life leech gem attached to it.
On the other hand the real power of consuming dark is the mod "your hits/spells can poison enemies", which effectivly grants a 7l to the player. Stuff like Bladefall mines and other physical based builds would not notice any nerf to that - some ajustment here is needed too.

If one item can cause so much of a shitstorm then it deserves to be nerfed.

We're not pissed because it is OP, we're pissed because this is 100% unprecedented and uncalled for. They release a bunch of OP as shit multiplier supports, then they buff the shit out of spark and LA... and now my awesome 6L bows that I've used since like 2013 are getting wrecked because of it?

Fuck. That.

but... there IS legacy vinktar and BoR... I'm confuse???

I think you have a typo in 3rd mod - 67 while there should be 97.

it's not just the item though - support gems got buffed and we got ascendancy classes so everyone is more vulnerable to reflect than before. also, since it was introduced, we've got more chaos support through gems and passive trees and the subsequent crazy double dipping potential. all of that makes chaos pretty desirable and ultimately, voltaxic is a victim of a blanket nerf despite never being changed since release and being liked by a lot of players for its flavour.

I'm just saying many builds have been nerfed before. No one cares about nerfs until one of their builds gets hammered. Doesn't matter about legacy or non-legacy. Legacy VoV is now priced so high it is out of reach of many people.

It's funny because everyone was calling standard the dumpster trash league. Yet suddenly people really want their legacy items?

Well, that is SURPRISING. Who'd expect that?

Lol.

Think the problem is with Spark mechanics, being either broken, or useless... yeah. Still, Voltaxic change was guaranteed, too.
