Reckoning. Block with shield. What about block with dual wielding? Further nerf to dual wield.

Riposte isn't specified for non shield user.

Reckoning is a skill for shield users. Riposte is more a skill for dual wielders since it's just "blocking" and not "blocking with a shield".

"

Added a new Dexterity Skill - Riposte: Perform a deadly counter-attack when you block. Uses both weapons while you're dual wielding. (Available from the Lost in Love quest for the Duelist, Ranger, Shadow and Scion).

you can block with a staff - you could use Riposte with it

Physical to lightning???? Lightning arrow is backkkkkkkkkkkk.....its back! *does happy dance*

And I can still use OP puncture trap on bosses.

No changes to Scion tree at all

Projectile Damage went from 6% to 8%. 80% as strong compared to what's on par for the green zone.

It's fairly relevant for Added Chaos Damage, Flame Totem, Poison Arrow, and um... elemental bukkake ranged guys. The boofs to regeneration just brought her up to 9 or 9.8% life regenerated a second, which is somewhat significant.

I think she's in a pretty good place now. People don't appreciate efficiency as much as they could (such as spending 6 points to get Berserking, for a whopping +3% ias a point). Just force them to make those 4% radius nodes to 6%...

Until tomorrow when you see the full patch notes where they nerf puncture LOL ... it's gonna happen :)

Yeah, im thinking being done with POE is looking like a good choice. Not to hyped about anything so far, tired of tree retuning constantly, and trade changes are saddening. But gratz to all PVP'ers, looks like your getting something finally.

They actually buffed all projectice nodes from what I could see. Scion start other than that is still lack luster compared to other starts, in my opinion. Not by much, just need some very minor tweaks to put it on par.

that's the main thing that keeps people coming back

ES nodes, bleed nodes, changes to spell nodes, shadow suddenly becomes strong with shockwave totem

it the constant change in the tree that makes the game fun, challenging and interesting

new builds !

Physical to Lightning = must have gem for adding shock for damage and also mitigating reflect. Because it requires more links to your skill 2Hand weapons have received a new benefit. It's an indirect buff to bows and other 2H weapons!

So, the Recoking gem:

"Perform a swift counter-attack against enemies in a cone shape when you block with your shield"

and the Riposte gem:

"Perform a deadly counter-attack when you block. Uses both weapons while you're dual wielding"


Question: If I have both of these linked up and I block, do they both happen? If not, how do I determine the order in which they do happen?

Also, can your share more about how these can be augmented by supports? That is, what are the tags with each of the gems.

Thanks!
