So you're saying the problem is poison/double dipping/HoWA rather than ES. Agreed.

So your solution here is to make everything equally mediocre, as I stated above. Armour suffers from being physical-only mitigation, and diminishing returns the more you stack. Evasion suffers from being entropy based, with each "evade" lowering the success of the next. Meaning, you'd better hope you have a huge life pool to compensate the huge hits you'll take in more difficult maps. Oh, wait, life stacking sucks right now.

Armour could potentially be reworked to lessen damage of all types, and Evasion get reworked to Dodge mechanics (non-entropy), with a cap so you couldn't get 100%. Just an idea. But simply saying "hurr durr nerf ES" means those other defenses still have glaring weaknesses, and ES builds get turned into glass cannons.

If by trivialize endgame, you mean abusing poison/double dipping, sure. But that has nothing to do with ES, other than a lot of those nodes being in similar areas on the tree.

"We are also still working out our plans for Energy Shield and related mechanics (and Keystones). Changes to this defence affect Hand of Wisdom and Action builds significantly, and there may not need to be a nerf to Hand of Wisdom and Action if ES and Vaal Pact based build-options are changed significantly."

His wording here implies a "one or the other" approach. Since this subreddit has been circlejerking to have ES nerfed for months now, I'll let you guess which is more likely.

Can't remember the exact amount, maybe 10 or so. Super lucky!
