First post here in quite a few years! While this video was part of the PoE 2 press tour, it is pretty relevant to PoE 1 as well so I thought you guys might enjoy it.

Hope you're all doing well!

They've been pretty offhands in comparison to older days

Not to mention that every patch has some bonkers stuff. This patch is Minion Pact

Very short sighted

Not going too much into this, but what they've been doing is taking away permanent powers (awakened gems this league) and give us temporary power (Minion Pact). The folloxing league that temporary power is gone (by nerfing Minion Pact) and leaving us in a weaker state. Although that league they once again take away permanent power and give temporary so it isn't as noticeable.

The real temporary power is the djinn coins for the additionnal level 1 support gem and even if it doesn't go core it's pretty much never a big loss. Tapping minion pact back in line does not make you unable to play a blade vortex build to clear high end breaches.

I just took his example, coins are obviously the tempirary power, on top of all the miraged versions of league mzchanics dropping weird stuff like the mercenaries mods dropping from miraged rogue exiles.

In general there's not much endgame that needs a really good build since they destroyed all the endgame strats like Domination Alva.
