Path of Exile 2’sdevelopers are back to nerfing abilities just 2 days after the game’s launch, even after promising the stark opposite. Grinding Gear Games have been criticized in the past, countless times, for coming up with nerfs that make the gameplay imbalanced.
Addressing this issue, it had promised players thatPath of Exile 2would not be inflicted with the same fate. However, the promises did not hold up for even 2 days as GGG is already planning to nerf one ability, or rather an interaction, that has become too overpowered in its opinion.
The future ofPath of Exile 2is looking grim at the moment. The developer feels that there is a need to nerf Gas Cloud explosions when combined with ignite skills like Flame Wall since this combination seems to be dominating the game.

Nevertheless, a nerf is a nerf, and it goes against the promises made before, and playersare extremely disappointed at this news.The developers need to address their player community soon and offer some justification for their actions.
Constant Changes To The Gameplay Hinders The Experience

Nerfs aregenerally focused on balancing the gameplay, not sucking the fun out of the game. GGG should instead focus on coming up with a long-term solution to balance the game once and for all.
