Hi

Not gonna happen. Many non-melee characters use this the way it is.

IR is ridiculously abused for a keystone.
It should though, IR is such a cop out. There was a time when all I did was make use of it now I see it for what it is. IR before the nerf allowed a dex oriented character to enter the melee foray (I know they still can) but now the way IR is it only helps non dex characters the best via stacking determination and grace because inevitably a dex character moving around the skill tree will stack at least 100+ dex. Which makes Dex the worst stat between Int and Str which, if a player really wanted to, use completely all red or blue but green is screwed.

The idea of a dex character using 2h weapons is suicidal even though duelist has great choices they tend to be forced into a niche if they want to use 2h weapons. With the addition of a keystone that would allow 2h blocking would change the dynamics of combat and allow a dex oriented character better chances instead of the 2h path of life build because lets face it duel wielding can block and does more damage then 2h...Why shouldn't a character wearing all EV hybrid or ES be able to block with a 2h weapon(besides a staff), they should be more mobile then if they wore all armour.

IR doesn't fit the flavor of Dexterity and should be moved further over into the Strength or the middle since IR seems to be useful for anyone that wants a quick armour boast via grace(its pretty easy to stack a little Dex for this gem).

cheers

P.S. Thanks Neosoph your the first person that has commented on my idea, and yes I have posted this idea in a few different POE forums, I would enjoy more constructive criticism or ideas for a name for a keystone such as this.

np, but none of that matters. its not a tanking issue, its a survivability issue. rangers cant survive as well w/o IR

Imo you are wrong here.
I have a ranger that has been Evasion + Dodge first, then I switched to IR.
Shortly after the patch I re-respecced back into Eva + Dodge and was astonished how much my survivability had increased.

You shuold really give it a try!

Add short spear:
100% strength based,
1-handed melee weapon
innate bonus is increased minion and totem duration
weapon type is staff
it looks like a staff but its shorter, balanced and sharper.

bump it all!

We need scythe, we need spear, we need crossbow, we need glaive, and we need slinger.

Ranged new weapons: spear(STR, 1H, iron grip with x% reduced attack speed), crossbow(DEX/INT, 2H, weapon critical multiplier), slinger(STR/DEX, 2H, weapon attack speed), glaive(STR/INT, 1H, iron will with x% reduced cast speed)

Melee new weapon: scythe(INT, 1H, manaleech)
