Confirmed by what? I hope that you are trolling.
I’m afraid that many of you are misunderstanding where the “challenge” in arpg games resides. It’s not about mechanical skills. It’s about figuring out the strongest interactions in the game. If you think otherwise you are probably playing the wrong genre.
Was not addressing you, but okay.
You knew exactly what you were doing with this build. I am curious to see the actual statistic though of how many people were running 2k+ with this build. I doubt outside of a small group that many Joe/Jane average players running this build were pushing 2k+ corruption the way you said you did.

Does this apply to leveraging something that is clearly bugged to push way beyond what non-bugged builds are capable of?
I knew that the build was very strong, yeah that’s the reason i was playing it. I see nothing wrong in playing overpowered builds, if it’s wrong in your opinion that’s just your problem.
I wasn’t aware of the bug any more than most players were. And I’ll tell you more, I did casually read the description of that node at most 1-2 times while building the character taking a look at another player profile.
Having said that for the umpteenth time I kindly ask you to stop questioning my honesty. I don’t know you and have never given you that confidence. Thank you.
I don’t know you either. And to be honest I don’t care how you play the game. However, the way you’re presenting your arguments strains credibility, and that’s putting it mildly. You seem to be a power gamer who’s about finding the angles and OP builds in ARPGs. I don’t buy that someone with that kind of experience didn’t recognize that the tooltip didn’t match reality and the build was SO overperforming that it was broken.
Now, what’s a good build with okayish gear doing on average? Maybe 600 corruption? 1000 at the high end with endgame gear? Honestly, I’m not sure it’s even that high. With that, you have a build that blows past all of the others and is not just pushing, but is farming 2k corruption or more? And your claim is that you didn’t at any point gauge your performance and go “This is OP to the point that something must be broken”?
As i already said, i knew it was unbalanced.
I don’t get the tooltip importance tho. It’s useless in every game i have ever played. This game doesn’t have a builder assistant program like pob and the explosion area values are not displayed in game. The only way to verify the value discrepancy was probably to take a ruler and doing a geometry exercise measuring the skill animation by hand. But this is not a very realistic scenario.
This situation is very different from the ward that the warlock was able to generate. Exploding ballista was one of the most played builds and if the discussion never came up (unlike warlock which was well known) there must have been some reason.
See, again, your claimed prior experience belies this argument. As someone who tries to find the OP builds and work the system, you’re paying zero attention to the things you’re putting points into?
I’ll even overlook that one for the sake of argument, even though it makes no sense to me. You are, again, presenting yourself as someone who is pretty pro at ARPGs and therefore you’d have more insight than most of the general playerbase. In spite of that, you saw something that in my experience is completely unheard of in any popular ARPG; a build so strong it not only deletes whole screens, but things that are off the screen. So even if I ignore the skill tooltips issue, or the claim that “nobody was talking about it” which I don’t believe either, I don’t see how someone of your experience looks at the result you’re getting and fails to recognize that something is bugged.
You want to know i did find this overpowered build? Really?
My monkey brain decides to open twitch, finds the guy with the highest corruption in the title and proceeds to copy the build. Pro gaming. Me being a guy that plays overpowered builds doesn’t make me an hacker. The program engineer image you are trying to create out of me is in your head.
poe history is full of builds like that, don’t spread disinformation.
A hacker? What are you even talking about? I’m not trying to create any image.

You said it. Not me. Figuring out the strongest interactions in the game. Kind of incongruent with just going to Twitch and copying a build isn’t it? You’re showing 2 sides. The one who has no clue and copies what looks OP, or the one that knows enough to see that the rest of us misunderstand the true challenge of ARPGs. I’m just trying to figure out which side is the real one.

Nice cop out. I clearly said in my experience. I don’t play PoE. Apparently you did. And again with your apparent experience in these things, you would know that builds that are so bugged they trivialize the game get fixed if the devs care at all. I stand by my original point…I don’t buy that someone of your purported experience can fail to recognize they’re playing a broken, bugged build and not just an OP one.
Good day.
It’s just a game bro.
Quit playing bugged builds. Its that easy. Ask yourself if the thing you are doing seems significantly stronger then almost all builds and then ask yourself again hmmmm i wonder if its bugged.
Then you just dont make those builds. Its that easy. Unless your just a slave to meta and op builds and have no ability to play the game without the most op of builds
Copying a performing build that’s already relying on powerful interactions within the game is perfectly consistent to to the statement you’re quoting. I don’t understand where you’re going with this.
At the moment poe is objectively the most important title in the genre since many years. If you didn’t played it your arpg experience is not enough to make assumptions about what i should or should not recognize as bugged. Good day to you.
How am i supposed to know if the build is poorly balanced or bugged?
Seems Last Epoch is not ready for seasonal ladder yet
if you delete the boss dummy in 10seconds or less might be sus
gotcha
Attacks from UFO, lol
Any proofs or stats?
Well, i see nothing wrong in nerfing op builds, if it’s wrong in ur opinion that’s just your problem. Eh?
Just another PoE gamer coming here, crying about how he put 0 effort to make a build and now he thinks that it’s nerfed to the ground, because his brain cant process how to improve that build or find another way around. And moreover i have no doubt that u r using Bazaar and not CoF.
That dude Agromorph u were talking about, who did 5k C, he just called Echo with Oribos to increase ur corruption - Echo of Information. What more do u need to know about PoE players? He just yoinked that build, put 0 effort in creating it, bought some gold, used Bazaar - done, 5k C. Dude clearly doesnt know basic things in the game, halooo, he thinks that echo where Oribos sits is called Echo of information.
I get the idea of what things will be fixed (nerfed) and what won’t mid-cycle, but what I don’t understand is “why now?”
we found a bug with the node causing it to scale radius instead of area.
You were fine until the 1.0 release and suddenly it’s a bug? You “found” it? After all these years? Come on EHG, be honest at least.
Why touch builds if you said you wouldn’t do it until the end of the cycle. Moreover, people will now all go to Path of exile in a week. Let me play) If there is a fix, then I will definitely leave the game. To collect the build again at the end of the season, when there will be 20 thousand online in a week.
It would be better if the dupers were deigned to be banned after a thousand years
