PoE 1 PC servers are restarting in: .
They should be back up in approximately .Nothing wrong with Blade Flurry, it's not OP it just doesn't suck like typical melee
" From the EHC ladder, your only character over there : Offline 8883 Legatus1982 Plajje Trickster 88 1769498066 Dead Of course. If you mean another character, then .... you know, not high level enough to be on the ladder ... Most likely not high enough to be where the broken combination was really shinning, not high level enough to have experienced where it mattered I guess. Not that such experience is needed to understand how/why it was broken, obviously. SSF is not and will never be a standard for balance, it is not for people entitled to getting more without trading.

" BullshitBVPathfinder never died, it just got boring and I stopped playing it, like all caster builds I play. IDK how you even found that one who died, pretty sure I deleted it. Regardless it doesn't require leveling to 100 to see how absurd that character was and it still is today, you just have to change the build a little. For me it hasn't changed at all because I never used vinktars and didn't need most of my flasks to clear 99% of content. And then there's assassin BV which hasn't really changed at all, and is the one that was doing the absurd damage. Regardless, it honestly doesn't take a lot of effort to see what's going on at the top of that ladder. There are on the first page alone 4 necromancers, 2 occultists, and 10 elementalists right now. There's also 2 pathfinders, one BF and one private, and a single juggernaut. It doesn't take a genius to see how unbalanced this is. This is a completely avoidable situation that YOU created. my evasion is so high i only insta rip sometimes ----- Bug Fixes: People were using cyclone for actual melee builds, so we nerfed it and made blade vortex. Also, we went ahead and made cyclone great for CoC casters while we were at it. Last edited by Legatus1982#1658 on Dec 11, 2016, 1:27:23 PM

" 'because it does not allow for these things' yeah because one shotting like tier 15 bosses with massive ignites is not overpowered as face tanking rofl |

" And the fact that you don't even need to do that when your totem is doing the damage for you while you hide anyways ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ my evasion is so high i only insta rip sometimes

" Afaik, pizza stick don't precharge on untargetable bosses ( not all at least ), which means you don't give a full charged blast from the very start ............ but I don't think that you even thought about that heh. And yeah Allbusiness, flameblast deals too much damage, or the double dipping does, everybody has been saying that for quite some time I think. Still, as crazy as the dps is, BF ( with VP ) allows one thing that flameblast does not : facetanking. " I was pretty sure that you were not aware that ladders where not just deleted .... Anyway, it confirm exactly what I said : You didn't reach scenarios where the combination was going too crazy, aka perma uptime on very tough bosses. Trivializing shaper was a problem, as obvious as it is. Never said that it wasn't strong anymore, GGG is most likely being super careful about it. PS : Both the top 20 pathfinder profiles are public, they are both BF. There is also a private deadeye. Etup is already 37th with his BF assassin, facetanking some breach lords that flameblast does not one shot. So the damage is still very good and allows that, the clearspeed a tiny bit lower ? Seems kinda fair. SSF is not and will never be a standard for balance, it is not for people entitled to getting more without trading. Last edited by Fruz#6137 on Dec 11, 2016, 9:09:42 PM

" None of that has to do with Bfury and everything to do with CI Vaal Pact. You could go Ele Cyclone CI Vaal Pact and do the same shit, it just wouldn't clear as fast. Blade Flurry is good, but it's not overpowered at all. And you can for sure 1 shot the Breach lords if you have good enough gear and levels.

49 pages and counting...
I respec'ed an old build to a BF Assassin using Bino's Knife following Mathil's build guide with a few different pieces of gear (using a Lioneye's Remorse shield for more defense than going dual weapon). I ran it before the small nerf and now it's still a great skill. Needing to get closer to the target makes it feel a lot more melee and less ranged (this is great) and the non-need to be very accurate on aiming is super great (not quite a fire and forget skill but close). Anyway after going from level 80 to 87 before and after 2.5.0 the skill is perfect. Not OP at all but also not a slow ass wimpy skill. Those that say it's too OP are either masochists or slavers that are pissed that their non-BF skill has a much slower clear speed. That's the reason some are complaining that BF is too OP. GGG can't have all skills be the same at clear speed and some will always be better than others. Only when a skill is super OP as BV was should a nerf be made. After the small nerf to BF it is right in the Goldilocks zone and is "just right". There is no need for any additional nerf to it. "You've got to grind, grind, grind at that grindstone..."

^^ /thread
I called on the first pages for an AoE nerf, and that's what we got. The skill feels alot closer to how melee should be in the game, meaning: cons: - medium AoE pros: - Boss Annahilation Now buff single target melee skills and we are good to go https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/417287 - Poutsos Flicker Nuke Shadow
