this was the only build i did becuz it takes very long time to gear it and i played it for 2 weeks until PoE 2 league was out i wanna do this build again for the 1 week that il play but did this got nerfed in any way?
Infernal Shade hasnāt been touched since 1.2 (as you can see by searching in the patch notes).

but is it gonna get nerfed in the next cycle
Not likely, I think. Lich and Necro are getting reworks/buffs, so itās more likely that there will be some indirect buffs to it because of that. Itās not like warlock was one the top classes anyway (even though itās pretty close).
Iād say itās more likely it will get stronger, rather than weaker. But only the devs can know for sure, until they release patch notes.
1400c is pretty decent but that doesnāt look like a build that needs nerfing that stick will hopefully whack all the 20 second uber kill classes on the head and the broken meme builds that canāt do an echo but can kill the big boss with 1 hit, lol.

As the Devs saidā¦ when a class reaches 4 digit corruption they messed up. If they are true to their word it will be nerfed. If they are lying through their theeth nothing will happen.

Where did they say that? Thatās actually a really bad take.
They said that during Season 0 and 1. At the time they were trying to balance builds between 300c and less than 1000c.
They havenāt said that since and the introduction of Uby leads to the conclusion that this has been dropped from their intentions and no longer holds true.

Thatās their last take on blancing so it stays untill itās stated other wise. Then again EHG is moving goal posts the whole time so noone can hold them accountable for messing up again and again.
I still think their inability to balance stuff is pretty strange. They made a game and Iām sure they are not so incompetent to tweak some numbers or to reach goals they aim for.
Well thereās at least a dozen of builds Iāve seen personally reach 1000+ corruption, I suppose thereās a lot more of them and some of those Iāve personally seen or experienced myself have stayed roughly the same throughout the cycles. Besides falconer which is still godly after nerfs it seems like they really donāt care about nerfing them (which is a good thing).
I donāt see why having no goals for the real difficulty of the game is a good thing. To me it looks like they just roll dices and take whatever comes up. They neglect this completely without taking any accountability and to me this showes only one thing: They donāt care.
If they donāt care about balancing and leaving everyone hanging on this topic why should i belive anything else they say? Tomorrow they can change their stance when their dice showes a three instead of a two. This is inconsistent with a free pass for them to make up things however they want for everything they want.
If they donāt care they should say so because to me it looks like they obviously donāt care. Even if they said they had a lot of work to do and balancing is an afterthought right now outside of glaring issues this would be fine because they at least said something. All we get are random numbers throwing arround like ā300C is endgameā or āIf you can run 300C you have a good buildā or āIf someone reaches 4 digit corruption we messed upā.
Sure if you are fine for them to mess up every day for months with no end in sight I guess thatās an oppinion and Iām okay with it even when it feels strange to me personaly. I for my part donāt want developers to do whatever they want and not staying true to what they said. In every industry i worked i wouldāve been fired a lot of times if this was my workethicā¦ āOur heart pacemakers work more or less and our goal is to make them work in certain parameters we canāt tell you but we are very sure no problems will occur.ā or something like āYeah we tailored that machine to your needs in a tolerance range of 40%-100% of what we said because we mess up sometimes ooopsies.ā.
mabye itās my inner german that likes rules and DIN norms and whatever but all i get out of this is āThis devs canāt be trusted because they talk a boatload of crap.ā. It would be easy to say āWe are sorry we canāt adress balancing right now. In the future we aim to reach certain goals but it takes us more time then we thought. We aim that well thought out builds can reach 2000C at best but we need time untill everything getās there. We are sorry this takes so long but we need to make nice supporter packs people buy and to deliver content that was promised to be there months ago but you knowā¦ you we take what we say with only more or less seriously and and we know everyone understands we need a bit of wiggleroom becauseā¦ reasons.ā.
Now we are at a point where people go batshit crazy if they tone things down to a reasonable dimension because people feel entitled to their build that were in a messed up state given the last information we have from a EHG developer. To me itās hard to trust someone who isnāt standing by their word and therefor I wait for a statement and never spend another dime on Kraftā¦ erm Last Epoch.
What I mean by saying itās good is that artificially cutting the balls off for overperforming builds would be a personal disaster of mine, since you can reach 300c easily and if you made it so that going past that number would be pretty much unattainable I would just drop the game completely.
Yeah you say this a lot, but itās pretty obvious 1k is the new 300. Theyāre giving t8 affixes. I donāt think the take is the same. Shifting into accepting the game provides enough opportunities to reach early four digits when minmaxed isnāt ālying through their teethā. Itās being realistic about the foundation people are working from.
We canāt tell what their perfomence expectations are because they donāt tell us. Imagine they say āWe aim for 1000C to be unreachable for now and balance accordingly.ā. A they had their word to keep what they canāt as it seems and B they would need to nerf everything.
LE is just the new D3 and the fanbase is to blind to see it. My inner german is alarmed and rebelling against this kind of crap but the devs do as they want with as little accountability as possible.
The last statement on balancing is from Mike and he said, in short, if someone reaches 4 digit corruption they messed up. To me itās obvious that they mess up non stop. If they want to be save they could say ā2k is peak content and if anyone is able to do so we would be impressed.ā.
It is for me. Saying A and doing B is lying at best where Iām from. We are intentionally left in the dark so they donāt need to do anything about powercreep and mindlessly overpowered builds. They make their life easy and do nothing about it outside of fixing bugs or cutting down completely OP builds a bit.
In what universe? People work with what they get and if they get broken and OP crap they should step back and say āWait a minute! 1000C was mentioned as a mess up what is going on?ā instead people play the game and feel so awesome for easiely reaching goals that are messed up. To me this is just bad and a sign how little the devs care about the game and balaning over allā¦ just donāt forget to buy support packs ^^.
Macknum, it isnāt that simple. Youāre reducing everything to fit your personal opinion. There are builds that are shattering 5k corruption, even one specifically pushing beyond 20k. The devs were specifically addressing these outliers. 1k having 4 digits is simply not the same, nor the issue. If a player puts the tremendous effort required into getting multiple t7 affixes on every single item, they are naturally going to be able to, on a well made, synergetic build, break 1k corruption.
The fact that you donāt seem to understand that this is a natural conclusion to an evolving process has me questioning your personal progress. I have questions along the lines of your best items crafted, what are they? How far have you personally pushed a character? Highest level? These are important to consider because you are coming at this topic with the confidence of a veteran player with perfect use of every resource, and dissatisfied because the game offers too many easy paths that reduce the authenticity of success for others.
Lastepochtools.com will let anyone see everything about a player using their user name. If you see someone has immaculate gear, do you automatically assume it is because they are using āBroken and OP crap?ā
