Small buffs over time are great to balance a game, but thats not the best way to balance poe.

New uniques and other new sources of power can completely break a skills power level that has been adjusted to a balanced state. And nerfs to an op skill can just as easily nerf an already bad skill by accident.

Point is, POE is too volatile for GGG to even try to reach a balanced state.

In my opinion the best method is more or less what GGG does with nerfs.

No one likes triple nerfs, but they are a reliable way to ensure a build does not remain op for too long.

GGG should start doing more buffs like for SST this league, who cares if its gonna be broken give some weak skills and ascendancies a league to shine.

I showed Chris this post and he seemed excited about this idea of inverse nerfs.
