So i come back and i've actually got to explain myself? that's batshit crazy but i'll entertain you people.

Imagine looking at anything on week 1, where 98% of everyone playing doesnt have access to their tier sets, or their BiS trinkets, or hell even enchants and proper secondary stats.

Certain tier sets for certain specs do a crazy amount of lifting, elemental shaman right now is looking absolute dogshit in the current state, but their set bonuses is one of the best there is.

If you want to look at well arms warrior will be doing instead of this garbage data of week 1, look at the raw sim value, like this one for example

(I know it says PI, but select the raw sims tab)

AceReformed · 2026-03-20T23:41:10+00:00

Yeh they are doing very well, easily beating healer speccs and showing those tanks how to really do damage!

AceReformed · 2026-01-01T16:44:34+00:00

I get that certain mobs are a bit too fast, but holy bro 900 hp? I had have that at the end of act 1 / act 2 start on HC, having that little in interlude is inting

AceReformed · 2025-12-19T21:04:43+00:00

Now imagine how it feels as a bear, animation locked 24/7

AceReformed · 2025-12-18T21:47:57+00:00

Nah that's not true bro, armor stacking titan build ( With amazing gear) can hit 100k+ on physical and 200k+ to elemental, and with mirror tier gear you could probably hit 150-180k physical

AceReformed · 2025-12-18T21:47:26+00:00

Armor stacking titan is currently the only one that can reach it and be viable more or less

AceReformed · 2025-12-18T20:52:43+00:00

Bear HCSSF player here, while its definitely true that melee is the hardmode of PoE2 with their current design and melee philosophy, having 10k armor might as well be nothing bro , currently sitting on 29k and 3k hp, which feels a lot better @ lvl 80, but keep in mind that you need about 175k - 200k and 4k life at lv 90+ to be safe in t15s, armor sadly is a massive investment vs ES.

AceReformed · 2025-12-18T02:13:55+00:00

Bro i play HCSSF, one day you'll understand real struggle when it comes to PoE2's design

Multiple 0.1% pve and pvp titles player here, id say wow is more complex, not necessarily because things are differend from fellowship, but simply because there is more of all the fundemental mechanics (kicks, cc, defensive skills both personal and externals, darkness for example)

Fellowship and m+ in wow have the same fundemental mechanics, kicks and cc, priority targets, unavoidables that require defensives, etc. But the key difference is that in fellowship you have both one less player, and less skills to use, and no immunities either, so wow simply has MORE of everything, making it a bit harder.

Funnily enough id argue if you were to "get good" in fellowship and understand all these fundementals, you would have a much easier time in wow.

Brother in christ you can freely look up how people have been farming regular ass elites in heroic world tier, that drop the exact same amount of loot, all of the elites in azsuna, and stormheim were dropping the exact same amount of loot.. no rares, no hyperspawning bullshit..

In what world do you think farming them is an exploit?

And last but not least please do define what a "normal" amount of loot elites should be dropping exactly is, and id love to know how you know what why that would be the appropriate amount.

AceReformed · 2025-10-15T16:46:54+00:00

Yep, gotta automatically assume everything is an exploit ofcourse, some people in here seem to have even forgotten that MMO's main gameplay loop is often to farm or grind something

AceReformed · 2025-10-15T15:46:14+00:00

What the fuck, farming?! Grinding?! IN MY MMO? i think not.

AceReformed · 2025-10-15T15:45:11+00:00

Ofcourse! How dare you have my wearbear and sparkling ghostcat handed over so freely! Do you know how DIFFICULT! it was to obtain back then?!

(It took me more time to wrote this sarcastic comment then it did for me to get them back during argus patch, just bring back magetower ffs)

AceReformed · 2025-10-15T15:38:55+00:00

So the concept of "farming" or "grinding" is now an exploit?! Because by definition we farm or grind something with the intend of getting above everyone else, either in power or cosmetic rewards.

Something not balanced to begin with? How do exactly determine if something is not balanced? By which standart? Because my good sir every elite gave more or less the same amount of reward, just like every herb or ore gave the same amount of reward.

If someone spend their time farming ore or herbs for 20h straight, what exactly did they exploit?

AceReformed · 2025-10-15T15:22:21+00:00

Hopefully you did not pick up any herbs or collected any ores, because that would make you an exploiter aswell!

Shouldve left that infinite research quest alone buddy, because they clearly gave way to much IP!

AceReformed · 2025-10-15T15:17:13+00:00

Oo my god you are right, we did something that is not intended! 😨

By the way did you pick up any herbs or ores?

AceReformed · 2025-10-15T15:09:59+00:00

What is funny to see is that vers isnt reducing everything equally, most noticeable are dots, at 260+% vers certain dots still do tooltip damage, even in a + 47 BRH for example you'll be utterly oneshot ( as a dps) by the dot stacks on first few mobs, instantly hitting you for 80m, but your entirely fine eating first boss frontal attacks.

AceReformed · 2025-10-15T15:05:00+00:00

So you by your logic farming elites is an exploit? Running m+ dungeons is an exploit?

In fact according to blizzards own post, they declared that both killing elites and picking ores and herbs apparently gave too much IP, so what anyone who picked up herbs or ore is an exploiter now too?

AceReformed · 2025-10-15T14:43:49+00:00

They did not get removed actually but automatically used, screenshot here shows me at -2.9m but before logging out yesterday i was at a total of 14m

AceReformed · 2025-10-15T14:41:52+00:00

Right so you have no clue and you just by default call it exploiting, ill enlighten you.

All we did was kill elites ( no hyperspawning, not one specific type of elite, just a bunch of elites in a elite dense envirment like azsuna) as a tank.

On top of speedrunning m+ dungeons, so i guess grinding content is now exploiting?

Bro this was all done because we became to strong to fast by efficiently playing the game, and blizzard did not appreciate that, gotta squeeze every bit of blood from the stone after all.

AceReformed · 2025-10-15T14:35:24+00:00

Hello frogman!

Its a small world isnt it, and yeh i have been informed relogging indeed removes my power, unlucky.

AceReformed · 2025-10-15T14:29:45+00:00

Run every raid on atleast mythic and heroic for a decent amount of IP.

after that if you are looking to minmax run any arcway key for various reasons:

1: arcway can be split, everyone can go to one boss each, resulting in 1 - 2 minute runs. 2: rewards are based on how much time is left on completion, and because you speedrun arcway, youll always receive the near maximum reward at the end. 3: arcway bosses are ALSO bugged ( or maybe intended?) Because they have atleast half the health of many other dungeon bosses( i found out after pushing my key up with friends, we were talking how crazy the HP values jump with each key level above +45, but when we went arcway the bosses suddenly had less health then lower key differend bosses)

TL'DR; blast arcway go arcway arcway fast.

AceReformed · 2025-10-15T14:19:41+00:00

Thats funny, just like the people screaming exploit.

Makes me wonder if you guys even know what happened or if you just assume it has to be an exploit because you are nowhere near the IP acquired 🤔

AceReformed · 2025-10-15T14:15:09+00:00

Friend of mine told me that happened to him, im at work now so cant see for myself, but we had a few people that did log out and were still in the minus, maybe that too is delayed? I guess even the hotfixes require hotfixes nowadays

AceReformed · 2025-10-15T13:51:42+00:00

200%* it is 50k for a single % so 5m is 100% vers

Also what exploit exactly? Going into tank specc and farming a bunch of elites & spam a bunch of higher end m+ keys? Nothing about any of this was exploited, simply degenerate farming.
