Nerf to Pathfinder Conc. Builds Unwarranted

[Crexus]

Got to say this is a whine. But the change to bow damage no longer being applied to Conc. abilites seems like its about wording and not about damage. Pathfinders have been nerfed/ fixed (whatever you want to call it), multiple times related to poisons and vines. Now another build which I have gone into is being nerfed. For me with present gear its about a 40% damage nerf. From a peak 186k down to 122k. Why? The damage isn't all that great, not when its mostly in a cone in front of you and it drains your flask not your mana pool.

Frankly i dont even understand why can you use a bow at all with concoctions.
You had to be unarmed in PoE1 to use those and could only use shield in the offhand.

Kinda stupid that you can abuse the widowhail+quiver boost combo to get 10+ gem levesl for free when you are not even shooting a single time...

Why not ? Monk can use unarmed attacks with the quaterstaff too.

And how much damage do those unarmed attacks get from the quarterstaff?
Oh wait, none, as the unarmed attacks have their own flat damage.
The only thing they get is the melee gem level from the staves, because unarmed attack is considered as melee attack for whatever "strange" reason.

Also, how much mana you use with the concoction skills?
Oh wait, literally none, so if you get any kind of trash mana flask with increased charge amount, you can throw them forever.

PoE1 system was way better for concoctions, there was absolutely no reason to change it.
You got a buttload of free boost while costing nothing.
At least in PoE1 you had to roll your life flasks properly to get additional damage from them and waste life flask charges, not mana charges for which you have absolutely no use having 0 mana cost...

It was obvious at first glance how buggy the interaction was, im more surprised GGG didnt say at the very start that no main hand weapon is allowed.
Wouldnt be surprised at all if when the trap skills are introduced, they will modify concoctions and have a main hand "item" that you have to use for concoction , similarly how energy blade works in PoE1

Yeah i feel same ,, im pissed they fck poison concotion after i spend it so many divines and guess what this build is so weak in survive ,, not all we are rich for get flask UNIQ ,,

SO GGG keep going do that and you will stay with 2k players like Last Epoch congrats ,, i dont care was bug ,, you can fix it at launch not now

Diablo IV still king in playerbase ,, 38 milions

Hey bro, my ranger build got nerfed to oblivion and I have no recourse but to go to xbow (which I have a decent one stashed) OR play another character.

It's unfortunate, I didn't realize bow users were getting hit so hard, but it is what it is. As it stands now, my auto attack does the highest damage out of all my attacks. Which seems poorly thought out or at best, unintentional. Why use any skills if they do less dps than auto attack?

ANYWAY. GL. I'm taking a break from POE 2 for a little bit.

What you expect when you're going for builds that are clearly over tuned or bugged?

Im not sure if this is your case but if every build you play get nerfed, my tip to you would be to stop playing every broken build you find on youtube and make your own, less chance to get nerfed

Bow users are getting hit hard because ♥♥♥♥ was too good

Usual troll responses for those who can't see a bigger picture.

The devs are not out to get you, take a step back and take a break.

Sometimes "you are not a victim" needs to become a mantra in games like this. People love to... pretend theyre harmed or others are out to malign them.
