Steelskin and the Guard Skills

after reading posts i think complainers need 100% imunity in one button easy mode. any other change = ruined all characters. You dont even try it, forum warriors.

Good news!

This is one of the worst possible changes GGG could make for melee, the vast majority of players aren't going to be experienced enough to be able to react to incoming damage to hit the skill in time to mitigate enough damage to not get one shot. Not to mention new players, who may not know of the dangers of monsters like porcupines and what they do when they are killed the only ways to really avoid instant death from them is, investing heavily into multiple defensive layers, Immortal call or shattering them so their death effect doesn't happen.
Chris Wilson stated that GGG wants PoE to be a game that can be played for a very long time but IMO if they keep dishing out nerfs like this, without making significant buffs to things that the community has been requesting for a long time, like armor the game probably won't be able to survive. And with a league that is supposed to be focusing on buffing melee and making it feel better they are taking away one of the few things that makes melee feel good already in the form of Immortal Call and giving us poor substitutes that can't even be used in tandem.
On the flip side I agree that Immortal call did need adjustment since there are builds that can abuse it and become 100% immune to physical damage nearly 100% of the time with endurance charges. But at the same time the literal name of the skill is IMMORTAL Call which is living forever or undying. And overall it feels like GGG is starting to care less about what their community wants much like developers like EA or Ubisoft.

FREAKING COOL!!

You are the definition of Forum warrior because you barely play this league.

Hint: you can pretty much get 5+ challenge done by the time you complete story mode. Guess that's where you're at.

Did you even read the posts where players have calculated that none of the new abilities comes even close to replacing IC?

IC is not "100% immunity" all the boss has to do is hit you again. What IC does is BUY YOU TIME so that you can actually play the game, and yes, use active skills to defend yourself.

Again, still waiting for any suggestion as to an alternative defence against massive physical one-shot overkill hits.

They said 35% physical and 34% elemental at lvl 20, so my best guess is that it increases by alternating 1% physical and elemental per level.

Level 1 25% both
Level 11 30% both
Level 21 35% both

Level 12 would be 31% physical and 30% elemental in this case.

Hmm. I could live with that...

Nice

5th June? So we'll have 2 days to decide what are we gonna do in league. Classic. This has to change, all details should be announced at least a week before leagues start so people will have time to make/decide builds.

mindlessly

It's called automation GGG. You added trigger skills to the game so don't use this language with me.
