Preview of Rebalanced Unique Items in Path of Exile: Harvest
" They're twitch monkeys, no sign of intelligence in them. Shame that we can't report their dumb shit as a spam. |

" In before the damage buff is only to the main melee strike portion, or the damage effectiveness on the gem. I know people still use Molten Strike but I find it sucks to use since they: A. removed the old smooth feeling it had with ground targeting and B. they nerfed the base attack speed of all the melee skills to make Melee suck more overall when they were supposedly "buffing melee". As a tangent if GGG ever wanted to actually make Melee not suck compared to literally everything else they REALLY need to get past this failed idea that melee should have these SLOW SUICIDAL backswings... if they ever get past this idea they can fix melee in no time. Just regulate melee swing speed by reducing the interval between attacks and not the time it takes to swing a weapon: fixes 2 handers, makes melee less suicidal to use, reduces the dominance of Dual wield, makes Maces not as shit as they are, helps all the weapon bases be more competitive, and most of all: MAKE MELEE FEEL LESS SHITTY TO USE. Especially this would help "big slow hit/slam" design space they keep trying to make into a real thing. As the main problem with slow wind ups it it multiplies how often you get insta killed. Nothing in the game feel more squishy and jank in high end content than a non block build using a 2 handed weapon LOL... those builds literally die 2-3 times more often than anything else in the game.

" This needs to be emphasized so far the changes in this thread are overall disappointing and more than just that: also aggravating because they display GGG's disconnectedness to WHATS WRONG WITH THOSE ITEMS. Some of these items (Like Broken Faith) were decent and just needed a nudge instead they got reinvented. Some just are clueless changes like Uul-netols Embrace. Someone at GGG actually said in a meeting at some point: "the problem with Uul-netols axe is the clearspeed gimmick Bone nova doesn't proc against bosses". This person is completely wrong. Its an incredilbly slow "big hit" axe with a mod that only procs on the second hit, so then for 90% of your use it's not a Unique axe because it wont proc its Unique mod... which means that you might as well just be using a rare axe with double the attack speed and at least FEEL GOOD when you swing it. The axe legit looks like it was designed by two different people who didn't talk to each other.

" +10 THIS breakdown is a comment that should have been on the first page. Idk what in TF do some of those guys see when they be so hyped. Someone else mentioned Gruk pelt......potential has always been there but as it is currently, nahhhhh for endgame it's garbage. Cant use spells (auras especially) that negates using Pride and Punishment, where it screams for it. Idk maybe it'll get a buff / rework in the rest of the patch notes. Many items deserved to be buffed but all these drawbacks are not the way. Molten strike...….what's the point in even bothering to release items to be relative to certain builds / skills, if it's all gonna be nerfed to hell anyways? Unless the MS gem rework will feature the "MORE damage" modifier, which we know it wont; then these nerfed reworks are dead on arrival. I rarely post, but when I do it's important.

" It could be just low roll but there are probably some changes to mace bases since it has new implicit mod as well. |

" Most of these assertions are wrong though, rigwalds pair, broken faith, rattler, dark seer are all non final equipment but usable otw, broken faith might get used all the time actually. the rest are very niche, that reads bad in most cases but I can think of a use for most of them the issue is many players view on uniques is from a starforge/disfavour perspective which a majority of uniques cannot be. All of these shown are better than moonbender and wake of destruction which they teased first lol Last edited by Rebekah_GGG#0000 on Jun 9, 2020, 8:23:52 PM
