Oh Boy, where do i start...
I just love POE, the fun i got out of this game over the years... So many good things about it, the variety of builds, the challange, finding out all of the mechanics, changing whole build just by using a proper unique (like facebreaker). It's insane how good it is. It was, since right now it's good only for casters GOD DAMN IT.
Every single league, I play only melee builds, I dont enjoy caster playstyle. I dont enjoy buying items for casters. I love melee and guess what? i love BERSERKER. The idea of a melee character with high risk high reward playstyle is just great. You go in, get hit hard, but you hit hard too, and leech a lot.
But not anymore. You nerfed vaal pact, you nerfed leech, you nerfed berserker, you nerfed melee (and no, i don't complain about shaper statsticks, never liked the idea of it, i talk about unique statsticks, like tempestous steel or deaths hand). Now you are nerfing leech once again.
1 hit can only leech 10% of life. For the sake of argument, let's say i have 10k life (which never happens, unless you are RF). I can only leech 1k like per hit. What's the point of "100% of damage leeched as life if..." in Cloaked Savagery? Another nerf not only to berserer. And all melee builds at that.
Over the last couple of leagues the only thing i see is nerfing melee. Every single league, there are nerfs to that.
I didn't want to play betrayal league cuz of that. But i did, cuz i love POE, and i thought that maybe you will do something with berserker ascendancy in next league. You didn't. Remember betrayal stats? More witches than berserkers. 3-4 Leagues when berserker is at the bottom.
League after league i enjoy POE less and less...

Agree totally. 98% of coments are against this nerfs and most changes, they are ruining the game, but like they said above, they will survive. It's kinda sad, because this game used to be fun, at least for me it wont be anymore, since the only builds i found enjoyable were Poets Pen and Flicker strike (both nerfed in one way or another). Poets Pen is useless now, i tested in PoB the max attack speed i can get with my build and cant even reach 5 attack per second, in order to make my build viable with the actual nerf, i need around 8 attacks per second. Thanks GGG. About flicker strike, its now limited due to leech nerf and just not delve viable, and not endgame viable unless you spend 50 ex. so... Well done GGG im probably skipping.

well nerfs are only to berserker (slightly), and to slayer and scion using slayer node (huge one). But it is still a nerf. I my comment was mostly to complain about the fact that nothing changes to melee builds. Nothing. Pure casters league. It's either a nerf to melee or nothing for melee. it's like that for the last couple of leagues. For me it's a joke. They say they are in touch with community... yeeeeeeeeeeah. It became a god damn meme that berserker is garbage. Yet nothing changed.

Anyone defending GGG, tell me, what is a good build using berserker ascendancy (not AW, Not XX exalts investement). Please tell me, cuz i will gladly play it.

If you read the manifesto, then you would know that the changes to melee and attack based builds are coming in 3.7.

Is melee in a bad place ? i highly doubt it..i've played..blade flurry, consecrated path, earthquake, sunder, tectonic slam, molten strike, reave and tested a bit of heavy strike and infernal blow..seems to be strong enough to handle all of the content..
The discomfort you're feeling playing any of the melee skill, may it be a result of your lack of knowledge about playing mentioned skills?..not trying to offend you..And if you're offended, then it's your own fault :-)

The berserker is good (not the best? i played a non crit and later on crit version of it..really injoyned the build in leech / warcry heal..the goal was to kill the guardians, shaper and do at least a red elder...passed the test..wasnt super good..but still it worked...i agree that it takes skills to play it compared to other melee classes.


Seems like you're going to give up before the league even begun. If youøre struggling with your build, then look for help on google..plenty of ppl have build around the "nerfs"..seek help instead of whining..nobody likes a grown man who whines..especially not when it comes to an issue in a game.


Follow mathil, zizaran, pohx, empyrean on twitch.tv...

Follow other ppl's guides..might help you creating/ fixing your current build ideas.

You're probably offended by my post..so to make this easy..im not going to respond to this, if you quote me..unless, if it's because you want to talk over a build idea..

If you want to insult me, then pm me..im a big guy, i can handle it ;)

Please fix spells like freezing pulse so that they don't get screwed over by doorways. This has been a problem forever and not just with freezing pulse. Buffs to some of these spells are great but they still won't be used because of an age old problem with clipping and doorways.
