One Week Nemesis Race Infographic

Oh I love statistics !

I don't think there is anything 'overpowered' about Iron Reflexes, just a lot of people prefer to get hit apparantly :p I don't see why it should be changed.

Would love to see more in depth stats about what mob killed most people etc !

I had expected way more deaths in map to be honest !

Keep up the great job, looking forward to the next one week, I might give it a shot myself this time.

nice stats

Would love to see more stats like this in the future. :-)

cool story! awaiting shadow enhancements!

Iron reflexes is actually in a pretty bad spot. Dex does not boost IR at all and it requires quite a bit of travel. It would be in the optimal spot if it was in the left side of the tree.

Of course scions were one of the most used class so it's common to go down from the projectile nodes to IR.

MoM would definitely be too powerful if it was near the witch area. There is no downside to taking it with eldritch battery then. At the moment you can choose to use cloak of defiance and lose out on hp/resists if you don't want to travel.

When your mana runs out, you are unable to cast spells. On top of this, your arctic armour can go off, leaving you very vulnerable, perhaps without even knowing, and alot of EB builds are also aura builds which reserve a huge percentage of their mana pool, so saying that there is no downside at all to taking it is nothing short of wrong :)

Don't think I can add more than what already been said. but I'll chip in for statistics sake and visibility.

1. Scion most played
- ST phys ranged attack easy to scale with any good 2h drop, safety of range, advantages of phys; keeps up with your level easily (unlike lvl 16-20 spells)
- few con's, but I used it so much in races I got sick of it
- central position in skill tree and proximity to the most used HP circle
- variety of good skill gems helps too


2. Iron reflexes
- armor is so reliable against many small phys hits + makes many sets of armor and uniques useful as defensive stats (ev, ev+es, ev+arm, arm, arm+es - so many useful drops)
- not hard to get, almost no brainer (except witch/shadow, least played)
- reliable, since unlike MoM, is placed in an area with good synergy. GG
- unwavering stance, mind over matter, %ev+arm nodes so valuable combo in a hardcore setting where everything is out to kill you.
- damage is not streaky. life leech/life on hit keeps you up reliably
- risk/reward/RNG?
- profit all around


3. Where the F*** is the MoM + EB synergy? make es(+arm/ev) gear actually useful except CI builds?
- easy to get on scions, again.


4. the south part of the skill tree is so much more good compared to the north part.
North being mostly about late game CI and offensive nodes, that nobody takes because "balance between offensive and defensive"


5. The discrepancy in rewards makes cookie-cutter specs and any %+ advantage so much worthwhile and rewarding. Add in some kind of 'clever' gameplay and abuse and there goes the diversity.
- no wonder Armstrong (and every top dog) doped himself for so much success for years.


6. Scepter of good pizza (cruel)
- one of the most difficult mobs gathered around small doorways
- elemantal/chaos resists on everything, because f*** you anything not phys.
- a boss fight that on top of lag/FPS drop makes every spec but most defensive run for their life (chaos boss, cyclone boss, chills, one hit spells, aoe, totems, explosions, off screen dmg, bleed all around and most lovely titty bitches to cherry-top-it-all)
- merc is not less deadly but is OPTIONAL as in IGNORED in HC setting



End word:
I'm not for nerfing, I'm for good alternatives that don't suck.

Congrats for a successful game and to top people that made it to 80+

Inb4 Hailrake nerf.

There are some balance concerns in the stats which we will look at addressing at the new content and league cycle.

Scions were prevalent in the one week league, and take a lot of the same space as Witches and Shadows, reducing the numbers in these classes. Shadow appears to need attention specifically.

While the keystones used were influenced a little by players following specific examples, clearly Iron Reflexes is too dominant in this short format.

We will also be specifically looking at death rates for specific areas.

finally you are starting to think!!
I talk about these things when you showed us the game release info

maybe someday you can start using polls too?

edit: you should have analyzed the skills used

Shadow isn't played because his appeal is all about crit and you don't want to be critting in a hardcore league unless you have some form of reflect immunity. He also needs to travel far for life nodes.

Witch tree is just shit and the only people playing her are abusing CoD/snapshotting.

Scion is just the most played because she can be everywhere as well as the fact that aura nodes are most easily accessed by her.

I really hope you will buff unused stuff this time instead of nerfing everything wich is good and popular into the ground like in the past..

I totally agree. Shadow is by far the worst class to start atm. It especially need mana nodes. Buffing the low elemental nodes would be good too. Chane to proc elemental status isnt good in shadow tree since shadows mostly get higher crit chance anyway and so elemental procs with higher duration...

Plz dont nerf the Scion. Except a lot of mana and regen the scion tree isnt that good. The only big advantage is that you can reach everything in the tree pretty easy.
Better give other classes a way through the middle too

Iron Reflexes is good as it is. Remember this is was a RACE in HC mode. Of course good defensive nodes are most wanted for that.
IR just gives you a lot of armor early on with grace without having good gear. In lategame this combo isnt really that good anymore. Determination is a lot better.

=> The whole statistic doesnt say much for the normal non HC game.

About time... Dominus and the whole Sceptre of god is just sooo much harder than anything else in this game except those random unique bosses wich are totally OP too for their lvls...

and the monster's shield skill there is just totally annoying

over 1000 IR and 6 ci? wake up pls.
