Stop Limiting Us!
why doesnt spell echo or cascade affect contagion, nothing on them says that they cant and contagion is a targeted aoe spell. GGG, please, either learn how to write proper descriptions on your items or stop limiting us on what we can and cannot play. I'm sick and tired of your games dictating how I have fun when poe1 and 2 are literally designed to allow the freedom of limitless customization. But thus far, Last epoch is better at doing it. Learn from that indie game already because theyre doing everything right and you're not. We should be able to add whatever element to whatever attack OR spell. we should be able choose if its an aoe or single target effect. etc etc etc. why the hell limit us? whats the bloody point of that? who cares if someone makes an OP build? let em! stop discouraging creativity and forcing us to play meta because its the only thing that works! EVERYTHING SHOULD WORK!

And if it was a constructive post, would it be any less right? There are some support gems that should work but don't...on top of the fact that I was under the impression that MORE modifiers wouldn't exist...everything would be a utility choice, yet here we are.

Pretty sure GGG is smart enough to look at this post (or any others), filter out the nonsense, and find what is frustrating their players.

That's a myth, my ban record states otherwise

Example of "Dev Ban" (Not a Steam Ban)

That's a different dev. Allow me to correct my statement. POE2 devs don't come here.

This leads to exactly the opposite.

Like a third of ALL PoE2 players right now playing the exact same build with slight variations - Spark Archmage. Since its so OP, there is no reason to play most other spells, and there is no reason to not to play Archmage most of the time.

Complete death of creativity and build variance.

How does your ban by an Arma dev prove that GGG devs read this forum?

Contagion is not a targeted aoe spell. Its a targeted dot that spreads on death.
Or "Reanimating or detonating a corpse affected by Contagion will cause the minion or explosion to spread Contagion on hit."

Did you know its not illigel to drink in the open in the EU? So i can confirm that its a myth that its legal in the US, since thats now how the world works according to you.

What Arma Devs does on there forum, have no bearing on what poe2 devs does here, or does not do. Planetside 2 devs have not read there steam forums for 10+ years, and for more then 5 years were there not even any mods. So clearly you're posting fake news.

Because the secondary effect is the AOE. Context is the clue here. Read the whole context.

The Aoe is the first tag, and no tags are not placed in alphabetical order.
But reading text for Spell Echo, would explain why it dont work, since it logically would not work, neither would the other 1.
