I'd also like to pose a question that's been nagging ever since I noticed a Rare Warlock Bond I'd found post-patch easily outclassed the Legendary Dead Orbit one I'd already been wearing. On top of this, some of the Uncommon gear I'd had stowed in in my safe (I'm trying to put together a perfect Uncommon set... because I get bored that's why) is universally outclassed by every new Uncommon I'd found post-patch both in terms of defense but also what stat. perks they provide (Strength, Discipline and Intellect) And maybe I've gone completely neurotic, but I also noticed my abilities have been taking slightly longer to recharge. The running theme is just about everything I've found in world post-patch has substantially, universally outclassed the gear I already have, and not only that, but the gear I have is beginning to feel a little dated and not performing as well as it had prior to 2.0. Im not sure if these are simply co-incicidence, but it has inspired a certain worry, that through playing with the stat tables 2.0 has attempted to establish something of a blank slate that will force players to start re-tooling their characters from the ground up by offering better gear in world, but also dialing back the stats of what they currently have. Just about anything obtained within Year 1 will, almost by default, be outclassed by everything obtained in Year 2. I am taking into account though that the new stats accompanying weapons, along with the light system might simply have thrown me off center a bit, and I just need to find a new balance. I'm not certain of whether or not any of this is true, it's only suspicion.

  • You're correct about the stats. Before 2.0 I had 100% intellect, and around 50% for both discipline and strength. Now, with the same gear, I have tier 2 of 5 on intellect and barely tier 1, if that on the others. Keep in mind that the affect of having a stat maxed out doesn't change. Tier 5 is the same as 100% previously. Between that and the shotgun nerf, unless you buy TTK I think PoE 35 may actually be unwinnable now.
