Lots of interesting ideas here, hard to quantify anything since it really depends on the final numbers.
I just hope GGG actually plays the game and confirms the one shot meta is actually gone with reasonable gear in the majority of content. |

" if it is lucky block then it makes 50% block 75%, so not really nerfed a lot? I do not understand what you are whining LUL Last edited by sSs1897#4056 on Oct 6, 2021, 6:07:50 PM

" How about writing down what you dont like, instead of just whining :P ? GGG will benefit from constructive critisism, not a grown man whining.. |

" For characters invested in armor or evasion, it's very likely these changes mean way more than a double effectiveness, probably close to triple effectiveness compared to current values. Removal of dodge is a undoubtedly a big hit to evasion/dodge builds and entropy will likely be a concern for evasion builds still, but it seems like it'll make the early-mid game way smoother. High end builds seem like they might suffer a bit. Non-static base stat rolls is another layer of rng, and to that reason I can understand why people might not be happy, but it's *only a positive* roll. It doesn't have a chance to roll below, meaning you're more than likely just going to see a 10%+ increase, and that's on top of their base item changes that suggests they're raising base values across the board. 6L items have existed before quality crafts and they will be fine after its removal. Even now, I'm confident a vast majority of 6L items don't come from 48% quality bases. It would be a slight nerf to weapons, sure. Probably the smallest itemized damage nerf I've ever seen in any game. |

" They are...you should follow a build guide or simply use more time on path of building. If youre dying then youre clearing doing something wrong. Make a guide, share your build with other ppl. Let the community help you. You have no idea about how evasion stacking is going to pan out, no one knows yet. And still you think its reasonable to conclude that getting evasion and decent life is impossible..come on bro.. :D |

" First of all, it is true that they removed some easy access to defenses, but thoses defenses were only available to very specific characters in the first place. What they are doing is buffing the baseline for ALL characters alot, which will have the described effect, in my opinion. And to your comment about me not playing HC. I played HC quit a bit back in the day and recently i played in ultimatum hc, but didnt enjoy it because the game was crashing alot and i lost 2 chars to that. Regardless it doesnt change the fact that whatever changes to defenses they make wont change SC player behavior. |

So basically normal characters are getting weaker and characters that spend a lot of points in defense stuff (beyond life) are getting stronger. I guess that's not unexpected, but a lot of people will be mad that they're moving even more points out of damage and into defense.
ES seems to be the only defense that is unambiguously getting better. ES builds didn't use any of the nerfed mechanics, they're just gaining higher total ES, and better recovery. Once we see the tree and then get to play around with them a bit maybe it will turn out that the new evasion and armor stacking builds will be good, but we already know ES is good, and it is getting buffed, so the league start meta seems pretty likely to be a ton of CI builds. |

Please dont Forget up support gem in 3.15 you destroy 90% diversity build.
I see you make change for tank but if i dont deal damage is useless Good luck GGG try ouf best I m afraid |

" Im not sure you understood everything in the post. But all in all it is not bad. Building defence for pretty much any build, will be easier. What will happen with Versatile combatent or Ghost dancer, from the GLad and Trickster, no one knows - so far. So lets stay positive Exile ;) |
