stun locking was the one thing it could help two handed weapons
there could at least be a chance to bypass that by spending endurance charges or something or else it will kill stun anyway 2-4seconds is longer than most powerful builds take to kill a boss with top builds =/ | |
Cleave wasn't mentioned one time. Not once. Bummer. :(

" I agree too. Nobody did, the balance dev(s) magically convinced themselves it would be "cool" to punish the 1% while as a result punishing the 99% even more, because it was somehow "bad" extremely rich players could make a very good build. No it isn't. The people who played a lot deserved to make that/such build, and furthermore the market always adjusts itself to where it was very unnatainable for most players. So it's really good but not accessible. And that's fair in a PVE game. But GGG has some insane ideals and thinks among other things that everyone and everything "must be equal" in the videogame. And nah i never played herald b4 ppl go may go mental that i criticize their gods. Who are doing good with content and game development, but not balancing. So you have kind of a situation with devs or balance dev as you said, where they make all these bipolar decisions, arbitrary destroying(not balancing) decent builds for this fake equality ideal they have, push and pull, but then on the other hand shoving BS in people's faces who basically just want to play what they want to play or maybe explore some new things on their own without much meta concern. Arbitrary crap when tons of totally dead skills that suck like HEAVY STRIKE, DOUBLE STRIKE, REAVE, CLEAVE, [INSERT SKILL] on and on and on, because they dont look at their own DEAD skill gems which is availible on https://poe.ninja/challenge/builds just go see how pathethic it actually is on both hc and sc. This is how it basically works now, *) Patch 1 releases in PVE GAME POE people spend many weeks playing, players figure it out and have popular builds to fit the content. *)Then patch 2 comes, typically wipes most popular builds out for no real reason other than arbitraryness like this insane "lol 1H is better than DW now" bullshit le rinse and repeat 4Head Last edited by Olympiacoz on Jun 15, 2020, 10:59:31 PM

I get most of the changes. I don't like the fact that those "buffs" are not buffs as they are being called. They are direct nerfs, let's be honest. It's something that is happening since 2 or 3 leagues from now, every "balance/buff" is not treated as is but only as a nerf.
Bringing the DW power to almost match those non-crit builds (that's were your words) it's something, at least for me, kinda pointless. I mean, it is intended that crit builds should have more damage that non-crits, and it means to have a higher investment cost for this point, you should invest way more currency to achieve that "power spike" by going crit. If you are playing a crit build that does almost the same damage as a non-crit one, then what's the point on investing currency on it? Maybe after we see the changes made on the passive nodes we realize that they don't affect the DPS that much, but it's something that we must see. It's a fact that melee is getting slightly nerfed every league with small changes, I mean, if I want to play melee or everyone wants to play melee than any other archetype, then LEAVE THE SHIT OUT OF MELEE IN PEACE, that's why melee exists. That's why people choose to play melee and enjoy their melee builds. There's nothing wrong with it, I LOVE PLAYING MELEE BUILDS, I'm used to their mechanics. I simply love it. Going back to the first point, I don't like those "balance manifesto" leading up to be simple nerf notes. "Buffing" something must be that, a buff. If you want to state that something will be a nerf, then simply use the "nerf" word instead of "re-balance", which is not this case (or the case of past manifestos from some leagues ago). If you say that you'll buffing 2H weapons nerfing the 2H weapons, then is not a buff, it is a nerf xD | |
Really, they nerfed dual wielding? WTH? It's a two hander league sure, but why nerf anyone wanting to play something else?
