Using Varunastra you can have a side dagger for extra Leo BCR and any mod you'd miss. Heck you can even use divinarius for extra AOE.

of course, but in a more limited way it would be same with crit-icecrash, crit-reave...

You could even re-create a varunastra variation of your whirling crit + poison I am sure and make everyone puke the same as if you used eq-crit haha.

anything with crit is broken too haha

Since there is death door you can even be sure not to get bleeded to death by anyone trying to counter you.

Or a pathfinder can use qotf, pop quicksilver/silver/Jade move flasks and not be caught by anyone!!!

yea but can scion pathfinder do that?

I know if icedeal/any experienced player decide to go crit only you or like tommy as non crit have a chance haha, every other would need to go crit too without kaom leg.

Death door counter to bleed build killed rt and whatever skill with crit will have the same opness , eq or not .

Not a single chance I would do a WB build in team play and surely not with Varu, I would get obliterated by aoe as soon as I reach my first target (Aegis is banned so survivability would be pretty low).
Plus if EQ is allowed, everyone will play it, it's that simple. No other melee skill can match it in term of damage/reach. Didn't experienced with Lacerate but the fact that I haven't seen a single build using it mean it's probably trash (and by trash I mean outclassed by EQ).

As for pathfinder ascendant, the bonus is quite nice but not as broken as it's real counterpart. I reckon it will be extremely popular in this format with legacy surgeon though.

Hey you are certainly right about eq, I am not against it s ban just saying you don t need eq to rekt some asses once you use crit.

Godkas 2h lacerate is really strong, mygalomania too. Of course godkas abuse voidheart for poison degen but just try lacerate+aoe+carcass, it will offscreen. Even afhack had trouble with his eq against godkas ( even tho afhak is better player overall)

Thanks for the feedback!

I decided about excluded skills in the first round. There are already many restrictions for this event, so for the first round I will allow all skills with the melee tag, including Earthquake, Lacerate, Lightn Strike, Wild Strike, Molten Strike, BUT if any skills prove to be too dominant I will exclude it from feature rounds.

I see from your responses that EQ is op but first I want to see how people will go with it allowed. If anyone feel more skilled than the others please consider using something else :P

Temp chains, Arctic Breath, Animate guardian, Glove enchants are excluded as also edited into the main post. One exception that ia allowed as a spell is level 1 Frost Bomb.

See you tomorrow!

Now is the time to join!

Have fun boys!

So we had an awkward party... me and my scion, just a two of us, noone else. I tried.

But making a pure melee char is a nice new perspective, I could even say it's enjoyable. It's much easier to see the problems of the current meta.

i didnt about the date. oh im not prepared.
