kinetic blast nerfs when?
|
I was very surprised when I didn't see any nerfs to Kinetic Blast. It's an overpowered archetype with a tier S++ clear that's unbalanced. What's the point of playing 95% of builds that are absurdly slow (require waiting for something, have a negligible AoE) when you have Kinetic Blast, which has been king for ages?
Some might hate me for asking for a nerf to a beloved build, because "it's the only fun left in the game." But notice this insane gap between visions of the game. In one corner of the ring, Conflagration, where you need do Attack and then run up to deal damage in a 3m AoE (and the damage might not be enough) or other buttons like strike skills, half spells, half slams. In the other corner, Kinetic Blast, where you need just do Attack unconditionally to destroy everything in a cone and off-screen. It's sad. And it greatly devalues player choice. It becomes more frustrating to play a slower version of PoE when some players will be progressing through new content three times faster, creating inflation, and finding + popularizing exploits (for example, the one that allows for the generation of thousands of rare monsters in Alva). For a full metashake, some kind of nerf to KB is needed, for example, the additional explosions of the skill only trigger at the end of the projectile's life. my hideouts - https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3228515 Last bumped on Feb 28, 2026, 8:54:17 AM

Clustering got destroyed.
Normal KB isn't strong. It can't kill many map bosses without hh We need more buffs to make more top tier builds instead If you want slow game, there is poe2 Last edited by Hornsent#1110 on Feb 28, 2026, 7:15:10 AM
