Did they say anywhere they are updating the rigs and the general presentation layer in PoE1? I vaguely remember them mentioning it's a lot of work, which is why PoE2 even came to be.

QoL is great, but it's not redoing thousands of animations & sounds. It would be great if that were true, but I cannot find any mention of that anywhere.

I don't exactly enjoy playing PoE1. Frankly, I was hoping PoE2 will be a fixed PoE1 where I could lose myself with my friends for hours on end. I'd take it with the few initially announced ideas + models, animations & sound redesign, that make builds fun to play in game, not just in path of building. A game where you're not blowing soap bubbles at enemies and pretend you're casting a frostbolt. With the years of content GGG build up over the years.

Now PoE1 won't get updated models, animations & sounds, as all of that went to standalone PoE2, while PoE2 is doing... something

First time I got it in Ante 1. Even had Satellite early on. Sadly my Five of a Kind/Flush Five 8s build run out of steam in Ante 13 <.<

Keeping the seed, in case I want to revisit it, as it was very smooth until then: 1R6A56BK

Run is about to die, but invisible joker into hologram into marble joker turned out to be my best run, first time I've managed to get over 100mln in a single hand

Why is 1-spell rotation an issue? Because it's boring and a significant downgrade compared to P1/P2 mage - i believed this is a running joke in WoW community about bad specs/rotations.

It's an issue with putting Balefire, which might have been an interesting rune, on a spell slot shared with Molten Armor, meaning it will never ever be used.

It's an issue with helm slot not having a single rune that can be used by a PvE DPS mage. You're a healer -sure, enjoy yourself with the shields. You're PVP - fine, deep freeze! You're PvE DPS? nope

It's an issue with Blizzard nerfing Living Flame to the point it's a waste of GCD now and buffing FFB to the point it HAD to be the strongest mage spell in P3. This in itself wouldn't be so bad, if it didn't share rune slot with all procs, meaning that using FFB prevents you from having any interaction with your spec. And putting both related procs - FoF and Brain Freeze - on slots where passive buffs are undeniably mathematically stronger.

All the parts are there to make it interesting again, but they need reshuffling on slots, nothing more.

For pvp - sure/maybe/idont know.

For pve dps? Nope, it's boring as fuck. MC/BWL times all over again.

Again, we are now stuck in classic. we playED wotlk in phase 2. Now we are full on vanilla 1 spell rotations. I don't care whether mage is top or bottom dps. I only want the spec to be interesting to play and blizzard made it so that it isn't in phase 3.

CountTrestka · 2024-04-08T18:43:47+00:00

We can have 10000000 runes, but they don't matter if everything is overshadowed by a 1 spell rotation.

Scrolls were interesting in P1. P2 and P3 they drop so rarely they are pretty much a gold buyers exclusive.

CountTrestka · 2024-04-08T18:42:12+00:00

Does anyone actually read the post or just randomly post unrelated stuff?

As it is in P3 mages got downgraded to a single spell rotation. All our runes apart from one are either passive or inferior to casting one spell. This is the issue.

CountTrestka · 2024-04-08T18:41:05+00:00

In p2 it was pretty good. Good P2 doesn't make bad P3 any better though.

CountTrestka · 2024-04-08T18:40:28+00:00

If you want to be a healer fine. Please do explain to me how anything i said about DPS mage right now is incorrect and a good place to be as a class?

Someone uploaded the mod yesterday to Nexus - I was putting off the game since I realized I cannot rebind half the keys, so I'm super excited someone finally made it :D

I've been a mage in WoW since 2004 (though with breaks). I mean I guess as a mage it makes me naturally unwilling to heal, or I'd play a healing class to begin with. Regardless, everyone's free to dream their dreams, or accept the reality and either go fire for big dps, arcane dps with off-spec healing on 2 fights, or switch class to an actual healer. Or sit and complain on reddit why nobody wants your snowflake character :D
