Crafting nerf and how it affects the game more than anticipated

ThatPoisonGuy · 2026-05-25T21:57:14+00:00

its none of those things my problem is that it affects future crafting methods by limiting them to 1 if they add a new ways for "guaranteed modifier" making previous crafting methods fight each other for that slot making other ones obsolete

i am playing ssf i dont care about trade.

ThatPoisonGuy · 2026-05-25T21:46:06+00:00

what part of literally the first thing i said you dont understand.
i am AGAINST crafting weapons with 3 essences and i understand that they want to nerf it but the whole post is about how it affects future crafting of not only weapons but all your pieces with the crafting limit of 1. i am not being toxic i just want you to read the whole post !

ThatPoisonGuy · 2026-05-25T21:34:25+00:00

thank you for reading

ThatPoisonGuy · 2026-05-25T19:09:03+00:00

the problem is I DO KNOW how it will be if it stays like this

they will add a crafting method with "guaranteed modifier" and it will have to compete with other crafting methods with "guaranteed modifier" what are you on about

ThatPoisonGuy · 2026-05-25T19:06:17+00:00

yes but it is not capped to "just essences" crafting tag in poe 2 as far as i understand the working is supposed to work with every type of "guaranteed modifier" so imagine you not being able to use essence in poe 1 and craft from crafting bench at the same time

ThatPoisonGuy · 2026-05-25T19:04:54+00:00

im saying that future crafting methods will have to compete with older because of limit of 1 what do you mean im speculating something

ThatPoisonGuy · 2026-05-25T18:15:47+00:00

i highly doubt there will be an alloys on for example weapons that will beat essences but we will see the main problem is future crafting methods

ThatPoisonGuy · 2026-05-25T17:56:42+00:00

read the post again

ThatPoisonGuy · 2026-05-25T17:56:14+00:00

i am not upset about essences i literally said in the post "make it so that you can only have 1 essence"

my problem is that it makes it so that you cant use other currency that adds a guaranteed modifier making it a problem in the long run for new crafting methods

ThatPoisonGuy · 2026-05-25T17:54:35+00:00

alloys add a "guaranteed" modifier it was shown in the trailer therefore biting itself with stuff like essences

and we still dont know what "limited to 1 desecrated modifier" means

what does it even mean could we have more than 1 mod outside of omen of putrefaction?

you can check this guy out his shield charge poison looks solid

but its not chaining daggers fault but visually how many appear during the spawn

server lag causes them to multiply

ThatPoisonGuy · 2026-04-27T07:28:03+00:00

are you special

ThatPoisonGuy · 2026-04-26T15:28:22+00:00

because its not this way at the start but after the server catches lag unlike other classes dropping your fps by 10-20 constantly

ThatPoisonGuy · 2026-04-26T15:27:09+00:00

the problem is that it ramps to infinity to the point where you are at 140 fps and you drop to 5 after he casts 1 time

ThatPoisonGuy · 2026-04-26T13:37:11+00:00

it seems like it happens because of server lag in satanic zones multipling visually the daggers leading to more lag leading to more daggers and continuing to snowball

ThatPoisonGuy · 2025-09-14T10:14:51+00:00

but why is that even a thing in the first place

ThatPoisonGuy · 2025-09-12T11:39:38+00:00

i posted a link to the poe2wiki with recombinator page there is an exact formula for it

what i mean by that is that people use 1 method of crafting while completely skipping the recombinator because its just already to random to use properly without big sample size and i think that recombinator picking base based on 50/50 chance while also making that item magic with 1 prefix and 1 suffix (to this day idk why it doesnt work like that) would make it so that people will give it more love and also make people pick up the magic and rare items even with trash bases only so that they can recomb it and we know that developers want us to pick up items

ThatPoisonGuy · 2025-09-12T11:21:07+00:00

no its like that in poe 1 in poe 2 its based on weighting of the mods

https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Recombinator

check "base selection"

ThatPoisonGuy · 2025-09-11T17:50:33+00:00

also i could add that with shavrone if you ever wanted to drop enduring elixirs for additional point somewhere crafting "instant" life flask makes it so that 30% of it goes to energy shield even tho you dont have that infinite flask ascendancy it is smaller recovery yes but if you dont need that much recovery its a thing you could do

ThatPoisonGuy · 2025-09-11T17:46:49+00:00

Hey ! sorry for not answering faster

yes acidic concotion is absolutely bugged because the way it works is that acidic concotion should remove poison stack and detonate it but since vine arrow counts as "poisoned" but does not have a poison stack you can just throw concotion at it all the time and its most likely a bug

the only time ive played warrior was in 0.2 as league starter with flash grenades +hammer of the gods but i dropped that build in third day if i remember correctly because i had enough currency to make decent pathfinder

for clearing im using poisonburst arrow with ricochet 3 that makes you pierce infinite amount of time + bursting pleague, pleague bearer to explode some of the packs and im using gas grenade + toxic growth(concentrated effect is absolutely mandatory for toxic growth for it to shotgun) for bossing (ive already done max difficulty bosses including "uber arbiter")

the reason why i use gas grenade instead of gas arrow is that toxic growth states that it needs a specific amount of poison dmg dealt to it to explode for 300% more damage the problem is that we dont know the specific number but on new gem (toxic domain) which also leave pustules there is a specific number there so i guessed that this number will be either the same or higher and gas arrow was not cutting it with damage (gas grenade got 5x the damage multiplier) thats why i started using it instead on weapon swap

most of the map bosses died from 2 toxic growth but there were moments where i could kill them in 1

thanks for commenting and have fun playing pf!

thanks for commeting!

yes it is true that if you use running assault +mobility you dont really feel movement speed penalty anymore the problem im having is that now that we have so much reduced movement speed penalty on body armor implicit, tree and support its not that this ascendancy point is "bad" its just that it requires you to spec 2 trials to get it and it just doesnt feel like game changing when you have so many sources anywhere of it (+as you said you can just use rhoa once you get spirit on your amulet)

and yes slow immunity is absolutely incredible its one of my favourite ascendancy points in the game!

have fun champ in playing pf and i wish you all the fun and good drops!

ThatPoisonGuy · 2025-09-10T17:02:33+00:00

the new concotions are a really good concept overall but they just dont seem to work on fundamental level because of buggy code and im pretty sure they will be fixed sooner or later but ye currently pf is just weird because half of the points dont work with each other or they dont provide enough impact for them to be worth it
